Nutrition and Your Child's Soul: Don Quixote's Heart-Cry

Have you ever read a book about nutrition that makes you laugh and cry? This one will. Every day, parents are confronted with conflicting opinions about nutrition from many sources. They need basic principles and understanding to guide them in feeding their families. Nutrition and Your Child's Soul: Don Quixote's Heart-Cry provides the necessary foundation in a new and clear way. It is one of those books that make the reader say, "Ah, I never thought about it that way before." In addition to bringing to light cutting-edge nutritional information, Nutrition and Your Child's Soul: Don Quixote's Heart-Cry sometimes reads like a novel, sometimes like a child advocacy plea, and sometimes like inspirational literature. It is a new voice for parents who want the best for their children, facing a world drunk with commercial interests, a world in which the power and importance of nutrition is underestimated even among the most honest and caring practitioners. "To heal children's souls, I have directed this book to the souls of their parents, and to health professionals ready for some out-of-the-box thinking." (author) If Don Quixote would ride onto the scene today, he would gallop across the fields with no regard for his personal safety or reputation, tilting at the modern windmills of the medical and commercial establishments, which have their own priorities. Only parents truly have the interests of their loved ones at the top of their list. This book will give them tools of understanding, and the inspiration to stand up for their children, to feed them properly, to see them in a new light and to think creatively about their potential. In the words of the author, Dolev Gilmore: "An old story is told about two stone cutters. When asked what he was doing, one said, 'I'm squaring a stone' The other said, 'I'm building a beautiful cathedral!' He saw the importance of his work in a broader sense. One day, while writing this book, I realized; I am not just writing a book, I am saving children." Nutrition and Your Child's Soul: Don Quixote's Heart-Cry is a wake-up call.

A healthy body lends itself to a healthy mind. "Nutrition and Your Child's Soul: Don Quixote's Heart Cry" is a guide emphasizing the value of a good diet and good health in a child of clean mind and soul. Author Dolev Reuven Gilmore warns parents about embracing drug treatments so freely, to shun processed foods for whole foods, that natural care and food can help a child with ailments such as ADHD and other disorders far more than drugs can. "Nutrition and Your Child's Soul" is a choice pick for any who want to embrace the natural over the unnatural.

This one sentence sums it up. This book is by far the best that has ever been written on the subject of your child's health.

Reuven Gilmore has explored and conquered new ground, a book about nutrition written from a human perspective. "Nutrition And Your Child's Soul" challenges long-held popular myths by arming the reader with documented facts presented in a readable and entertaining fashion. Reuven Gilmore does not shy away from controversy--he charges at it armed with the lance of truth and facts. His words shine light onto topics the vast majority of health care providers are dismally unknowledgeable of. Worse, perverse incentives inhibit their exploration. No one can guarantee that the lessons of this book will help you but consider this, of all the patients your provider sees, how many do you think receive recommendations of nutritional modification as a healing approach? One in ten? One in a hundred? One in a thousand or more? If that does not concern you then perhaps this book isn't for you. On the other hand, if you find the intellectual blackballing of well-documented nutritional therapies from consideration in the treatment of conditions like ADHD, depression, and autism as unethical if not immoral then you must read this book.

Dr. Gilmore is a nutritionist/naturopath practicing in Israel. Gilmore's NUTRITION AND YOUR CHILD'S SOUL is a wonderful book that I want all members of my family to read. It would be wonderful if every physician read this book. The health of all peoples would improve if everyone might read it! The book eventually discusses nutritional supplements, but the first part of this book is about food. And it is an education. It provides amazing facts and arguments about the food we eat. Why modern food does not, no, cannot provide for optimum health.

Aimed at the health of children, this mind-expanding book is witty, readable and does not rehash common knowledge. As Gilmore says right off the bat, "Many of the ideas presented in this book are not generally accepted, even by practitioners of natural medicine. If they were, I would have no reason to write the book." Everyone, even professional nutritionists, will learn something.

All parents want their children to be healthy, but few really know how important proper nutrition can be to their child's health and happiness. From personal experience, this book reviewer (and co founder of the non-profit Vitamin C Foundation) knows that it is possible to raise a child who never becomes ill. My son consumes 6000 mg of vitamin C daily. He has followed Linus Pauling's general supplement regimen for his entire life. Now 20-years-old, he did not miss a single day of high school. In fact, he has missed a total of one day of school his entire life due to illness. Gilmore shares important knowledge of vitamin C, as well as other important nutrients that cannot be attained in optimal amounts from our foods.

Although everyone can learn something from from NUTRITION AND YOUR CHILD'S SOUL, perhaps the most important prospective readers are children. It is important for children themselves to understand the role nutrition plays in their health and well being. Parents who encourage their children to read Gilmore's book will no doubt discover just how well children are willing to eat after they become educated about foods and nutrition. The writing is probably suitable for fifth graders and above. This book will teach them how to think outside the box.

Gilmore's informative book also delves into several controversial subjects that directly relate to children's health. He provides balanced information on childhood vaccinations, mercury amalgams, water fluoridation, ADHD, Down Syndrome and autism. This eye-opening information will probably be new to most people. I encourage readers to keep an open mind.

I strongly recommend NUTRITION AND YOUR CHILD'S SOUL Don Quixote's Heart-Cry, by Dolev Reuven Gilmore, ISBN 978-0-9825165-4-6 [...]
