Book Reviews of Disease-Proof Your Child: Feeding Kids Right

Book Review: Spread the Word!
Summary: 5 Stars

It is books like this one that fuel revolutions. Our society, now facing a frightening cancer and heart-disease epidemic, is hearing information from all sorts of "reliable" sources on how to find a solution, none of which seem to be working. Hospitals continue to overflow with disease-stricken patients (many of whom, unfortunately, are poorly-nourished children) who could have avoided medical intervention through better nutritional choices. We are blessed to live in a world where we can decide what kinds of food we put in our bodies; why do people keep bringing food into their homes that cause such harm to their families?! Our children are depending on us to provide them with food that fuels a healthy immune system so they have a chance at a disease-free and enjoyable life. You owe it to your family to read this book right away.

Our health-conscious and educated family has always been open to various alternative "remedies", but we have often felt confused as to whether they were helping promote our family's core health or if these approaches were just addressing the symptoms. Dr. Fuhrman goes STRAIGHT to the core of our health. "Remedies" are not necessary in our lives if we build a solid foundation for our body's immune system from the get go. This book explains, in a no-nonsense manner, how to do this through nutritional excellence.

I thought our family ate well. In comparison to most families, I'm sure we did. I still felt that there was room for improvement. I bought this book when my son became a toddler and wanted to drink things in addition to breast milk. We were told by nutritionists and doctors to "feed him whole milk, melt butter and cheese on everything he eats, feed him meat, and give him peanut butter" to "get his weight up". My instincts instantly screamed at me to research this because it felt wrong to me. I never thought the word "vegan" would have a place in our home, but after reading this book, we are now near-vegan, consuming mainly plant-based foods. We have totally eliminated dairy and sugar (except naturally occurring sugars found in fruit and dates). We still eat eggs and small portions of meat and fish on occasion.

If this type of diet sounds extreme to you, as it did to us, don't let it deter you from reading this book. If anything can convince and assist you in changing unhealthy eating habits or to revise semi-healthy eating habits, this book can. If you want to spend more time with your family free from illness and disease, read this book. If you want your children to use their bodies sand brains to their full potential, read this book. If you want to prevent or cure ear infections, ADHD, or cancer read this book. It is a quick and easy read but is packed full of information covering nearly every aspect of nutrition I wanted to learn about. It provides simple to follow plans to rid your home of junk food and recipes that will make your family squeal in delight.

This book is extremely well researched, drawing clear and precise conclusions supported by up-to-date scientific studies. It gave my husband and I ammunition to stand up to other family members who believed that children can't receive proper nutrients/fats without animal products in their diet. This book has inspired me to start studies to be a Nutritionist. Nutritional excellence truly is the key to better health and longevity. Enjoy!

Summary of Disease-Proof Your Child: Feeding Kids Right

In his private practice, Joel Fuhrman, M.D. helps families transform their eating habits and recover their health. His nutrient-rich eating plan can have a significant impact on your child's resistance to dangerous infections, and a dramatic effect on reducing the occurrence of illnesses like asthma, ear infections, and allergies.  Dr. Fuhrman explains how you can make sure your children are eating right to maintain a healthy mind and body, and how eating certain foods and avoiding others can positively impact your child's IQ and success in school.
            He also presents the fascinating science that demonstrates that the current epidemic of adult cancers and other diseases is closely linked to what we eat in the first quarter of life. Eating well in our early years may enable us to win the war on cancer. Bolstered by this scientific evidence, he helps you do everything you can to protect your child against developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, and cancer through a solid nutritional groundwork.
Featuring easy-to-prepare, kid-friendly recipes that will satisfy even the pickiest eaters, your whole family will learn to establish life-long healthful eating habits.
            Harness the power of a nutrient-rich diet to ensure a lifetime free of illness and full of health!
