A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY PARENT - With or Without ADD/ADHD

Another amazing book by the brilliant Dr. Jay Gordon. I found it to be utterly fantastic. It is concise and to the point and provides excellent nutritional advice from one of the world's finest pediatricians (and IMHO, THE FINEST pediatrician). Dr. Jay specializes in pediatric nutrition and this, coupled with the fact that he has ADD/ADHD and has helped countless children with ADD/ADHD in his practice, makes him an expert in this subject. He is a prime example that it can work for ADD/ADHD sufferers. He advocates a healthy lifestyle, which should be paramount to every family - regardless of ADD/ADHD. In the book, Dr. Jay simplifies the "how to" by providing recipes, weekly meals, even shopping lists. Every busy parent will certainly appreciate that. He discusses the importance that food plays in our ability to focus, concentrate, learn, listen, adapt, adjust, etc. There are countless studies that support his findings. Simply removing sugar in the diet will make a huge (and wonderful) change in a child with (or without) hyperactivity. Glutten is a trigger so avoiding that will help calm an otherwise overactive little one. He also stresses the importance of exercise and outlet and even lists the benefits of different forms of exercise, as well as a specific program to implement. I loved this book! To the previous reviewer, whom I suspect did not actually read the book, I want to state that Dr. Jay does mention that some severe cases may still warrant medication; however, it should NOT be the first resort. Many (if not most) cases can be lessened and *cured* to the point that even without medication, no one would suspect that child has ADD/ADHD. I'm sure most parents would prefer to go the natural route and avoid as many side effects as possible. And certainly many have done so (including Dr. Jay himself). So if you are considering this book (and I mean no disrespect here), don't let the previous reviewer lump your child into the category of his son, who very well may have a severe case that could only be "lessened" by following the advice in this book. But it still goes without saying that even if his son wasn't *cured*, he would benefit from this healthy lifestyle. Every child is different and deserves a chance at being as healthy as possible. It certainly can't hurt to try this - if nothing else, you will be implementing a healthier lifestyle with less disease, illness, and a longer lifespan for your child. The diet is heavily plant based, but does list where meat can be added to the recipes so it is very flexible to fit just about every family's eating style. The recipes are very tasty (we are enjoying them immensely) and are fun to make as a family. For those who eat a plant-based diet, I'd also like to recommend a wonderful book by Dr. Fuhrman called "Disease Proof Your Child". This book also has a section on additional treatments and discusses how the mind and body are linked, how yoga/meditation/tai chi can calm
