Caring for a seriously ill child is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is a time when your instinct is to nurture and protect, but you may have feelings of helplessness and frustration while doctors and other health care professionals manage your child’s illness. One way to overcome these feelings is to become an active partner in your child’s healing process. This book focuses on your child’s diet and environment, two important considerations that you are best qualified to address.
With guidance from recognized experts in the field of nutrition, I offer some general guidelines for finding and choosing the most nutritious foods. Please keep in mind when reading this section that even small changes in your child’s diet can be very beneficial.
I also want to share with you the many safe options when choosing products to use in and around your home, since children’s developing bodies and behaviors make them more vulnerable to toxic exposures that unfortunately are now commonplace in our everyday lives.
With the evidence-based information presented here, I hope you will discover the healing properties of wholesome, nourishing foods and be able to create a healthier home environment for your child. All of this, infused with the love and special care that only you can provide, can truly make a difference.
