This book is a an eye opener and a great resource for my family. We have a huge collection of learning disabilities and issues in our (very large) family. I was shocked to first, have Dr. Broer list the history of patients who present with these symptoms and be able to see the children in our family and how they fit with those lists. I trust the fact that he is able to point this out means that he has actually shown enough interest in this area to research it and track backgrounds,etc. I have long thought that blood sugar, etc. was a key factor in many children's behavior, but Dr. Broer expanded my thinking to even more than just that issue. He actually points a finger at asthma/allergies, ear infections, and other medical conditions (and in some cases the treatment for them) as a factor in creating circumstances to unleash learning disablities. I read the book in two days because it had so much info on the affects of nutrition, and an amazing amount of info on the factor that immunizations have on those with certain risk factors. I was most amazed at the info on the school system, and the problems with the changes in the way we teach children to read,and how this has contributed to more behavioral issues over the years. And, I can see this trend through out my own family. This book was so thorough and had so much packed into it that I can't imagine anyone who already has or is planning to have children not finding something useful including the info on how to discipline with love. I am introducing the book to the rest of my sisters and brothers, and I am using the nutritional info. Right away we have seen a difference in our 17 month old granddaughter with just some simple changes in her diet. I wish I had this info 20 years ago.
