“Brighton Baby is about the art and science of gifting the best of who we are to our future children. It is about reducing human suffering by preventing subtle and overt birth defects before they occur. It is about transforming the context inside of which we conceive and birth children.” - Roy Dittmann, OMD, MH, author
Throughout the book, Dr. Dittmann turns the spotlight on the hidden dangers of: heavy metals and other toxins, genetically modified foods, pesticides, artificial sweeteners, rancid oils, antibiotics, processed foods, contaminated drinking water, electrosmog, and the pluses & minuses of vaccines - merging science and common sense to compel couples to take action today to prevent birth defects in their future child. Brighton Baby is a call to action for couples to commit now to consciously preparing for your future child together.
This is really really good information about health in general and about health in preparation for conception. Roy Dittman has developed a comprehensive protocol on how to get your body into shape before conception, with the goal of giving successful birth to a health and intelligent child.
My only complaint with this tomb of a book is that the information in this book is not very well organized. It reads kind of like a loosely categorized brain-dump. Welcome the flood gates of information that you can't possibly synthesize and determine how to use properly without hours and hours more of additional study beyond simply reading the book! However, Dittmann himself admits that the book is not meant as a self-help guide. The protocol is really intended to be followed with the help of a trained healthcare provider. Despite that easy out, I wish that Dittmann and his editors had spent a little more time making this book more comprehensible, rather than a smorgasbord. It would certainly endear itself better to a wider range of readers, if they did.
