She outlines how food has changed over the years, causing it to lose nutritious value. There is a section that breaks down how to change your diet if you are suffering from one of the listed illnesses.

A must-read for those who want to understand the mysterious workings of childhood digestion...her companion book, Digestive Wellness, is good as well (tho not geared towards children).
