Avoiding illness

Enzymes for Digestive Health and Nutritional Wealth was written by a scientist and mother of two, whose children suffered from pervasive neurological and sensory integration dysfunctions.

Karen DeFelice's family became her test group, as she investigated what it took to stay healthy. She and her family struggled with being sick, having headaches and showing adverse effects to their diet. As a mother on a mission, she studied, measured and calculated the interaction between the foods they ate and the symptoms they experienced.

The reader learns that "lack of enzymes resulting from eating a diet high in processed and cooked food has been correlated to many degenerative illnesses". Enzymes are necessary in the breakdown of foods to allow the assimilation of the vital minerals and vitamins. "Scientific evidence shows that food and chemicals have a direct impact on our mood, our neurological state, our brain, and our behavior".

Anyone that suffers with digestive disorders, chemical sensitivities, AD(H)D, pain, chronic fatigue, migraines, and food intolerances will find this book to be a important missing link in their road to recovery. It is easy-to-read and understand and should be on the shelf of every doctor's office.

Children's concerns.

The preface of this book talks about it being information about enzymes for all ages when in fact it discusses mainly issues having to deal with children with autism or autism spectrum disorders. It is not written in a consise manner and information is hard to pull from all of the anecdotes and parental, mostly motherly, comments. I would not recommend it to adults seeking digestive and enzyme information.
