Nourishing your child
1984
Wunderlich, Ray C. | Kalita, Dwight K.
Abstract: An authoritative text for physicians and parents presents an orthomolecular (or bioecological) approach for preventing and curing such conditions as hyperactivity, poor stamina, infection susceptability, attention deficiency disorders, learning and language disorders, and other problems of children. This approach, stressed by orthomolecular physicians, is based on the belief that physical and mental health is better achieved and routinely maintained by means of proper daily nutrition (by varying the concentration of the right nutrients which are normally present in the baby), rather than by treating illness with drugs. Illustrative case histories are presented throughout to systematically demonstrate the bioecologic approach to preventive medicine and disease treatment. The text pinpoints various disorders (e.g., hyperactivity) as examples in which traditional drug-oriented methods often fail to help the child, and describes the nutritional methods successfully used by bioecologic-oriented physicians.
