This book draws from many alternative therapies and offers that finding the right combination has worthwhile benefits for optimal learning and brain function. She is addressing ADD but it is clear that the benefits are by no means isolated to people who show those symptoms. From this book, I want to seek a behavioral optometrist and a dietary plan for the people I think could use it before going on to the more fringe methods.

April 14Page 4 and already I'm extremely annoyed with this author!
He uses quotes like this "This form of treatment not only suppresses a child's creativity and uniqueness, it also robs humankind of their special gifts."
Yeah, um, way to dramatize it! I have a very strong feeling I won't be finishing this book!
