5.0 out of 5 stars Let's Have Healthy Children, October 16, 2000

By

This review is from: Let's Have Healthy Children (Hardcover)

This book is by far the very best book about nutrition during pregnancy, and early childhood. Adelle discusses how poor nutrition can cause homely children, and low I.Q. scores and a host of other "common" childhood problems. Premature birth, small birthweight, jaundice, SIDS, colic. . . all can be totally eliminated by doing what she teaches! I have two very healthy boys, both weighed 8 lbs at birth. My Nutrition was better the second time (after reading her book which I purchased used at a local thrift store for 50 cents) I had a great home birth, and have a beautiful boy who was totally breastfed for six months, and skipped commercial baby food altogether. I am just sick about not knowing this information with my first son from the beginning. I read everything I could get my hands on regarding pregnancy, childbirth, nutrition,breastfeeding and none of these popular, current books told me even half of what I gathered in just my first quick scan of this book! I am really desparate to get some new copies for some friends and for myself-- my copy is yellowed with age and the pages are brittle! I suggest this one even if you get NO other book during your entire childbearing years!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tested and proven, March 28, 2000

This review is from: Let's Have Healthy Children (Signet) (Paperback)

When we learned we would be able to adopt a baby, I knew I couldn't breastfeed, so I began to study nutrition. I learned a lot, but as with any research, I learned that not everyone agreed. This was twenty-five years ago when doctors were still telling you that Vitamin E was totally unneccessary. After reading everything in our local library, I selected this book as the one that made the most sense. Following Adelle Davis' advice I raised a very healthy son and improved the health of the rest of the family as well. Now I'm looking for the book again because my daughter has misplaced her copy and is frantic to get it for my sixth grandchild--all raised on Adelle Davis, all remarkably healthy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advice for caring parents, August 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Let's Have Healthy Children (Hardcover)

I have read this book and my wife followed the advice during the pregnancies of our four daughters. Each baby was strong and healthy at birth, able to raise their chest off the mattress by about one inch the day after birth. They each had full control of their heads being able to turn and look around at the light in the delivery room. I have not found another book to compare to the information provided in this, and believe that this book should be promoted strongly in the face of child birth defects and health problems.
