An excellent guide

I've read a few books on nutrition as it relates to health but few compare with this one. In "Our Children's Health" author Bonnie Minsky details the "nutritional crisis" of America's children. She does an excellent job of discussing allergies, food intolerances, asthma, immune system dysfunction, ADD and other learning and behavior disorders, autism spectrum disorders, vaccines, osteoporosis, eating disorders, depression, and violence and how each of these may be affected by nutritional or environmental factors. With lots of charts, descriptions, suggestions, and other detailed information this first section is easy to follow and use.

The second section of the book covers how you can ensure that your child can have optimum health by discovering environmental and nutritional problems and fixing them. The section on a diet that can be used to determine your child's food and chemical sensitivities was especially useful. Using it anyone can work through the system to determine what he or she and their children should be avoiding. It also includes nutritional support regimens for athletes and children. Finally, the appendix details some safe household product alternatives to ones with more toxic chemicals.

"Our Children's Health" is a recommended read for anyone concerned about nutritional health of their self or their children. It is also recommended for those who want to seek alternative holistic approaches to some common problems of childhood.

Everyone should read this book!

I was relieved to find a book on health that provides sound information in a way I could easily understand.

Bonnie Minsky and Dr. Lisa Holk share their years of experience and knowledge on a broad range of health issues. After reading this book, I feel empowered by the natural, wholesome alternatives available to the most common ailments of our society.

I highly recommend reading this book. If you have children, or are thinking of getting pregnant, this book is a must!

Our Children's Health

Finally, a book with meaningful, actionable information about the health problems of our children. Enough with the pills! The authors suggest we start with food and environment and watch the changes. No matter what page I opened, the information was relevant. A great reference/resource book.
