More than 90 percent of
children diagnosed with ADHD or autism have nutritional
or metabolic inefficiencies. Find out if your child is

symptoms and wellbeing with The ADHD and Autism
Nutritional Supplement Handbook. In this groundbreaking
new book, doctor-nutritionist team Pamela Compart, M.D.
and Dana Laake, R.D.H., M.S., L.D.N., authors of the
bestselling TheKid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook,
reveal how to properly and safely implement
supplements and dietary changes to affect and

This book will help you
select more absorbable, potent and safe nutrient
formulations that can protect you from the degenerative
effects of nutrient deficiencies in
the food you eat. It will help you protect your health
from the disease process if you have been consuming
nutrient deficient foods, even if you feel
you eat a generally “healthy” diet. Also, knowing the
origins of your supplement ingredients
is critical to determine just how effective your
supplements really are. Many thousands of people are
taking supplements of poor quality. Chances are, those
supplements may be doing more harm than good, creating
inflammatory conditions due to the biological
incompatibility of synthetic vitamins and the
non-absorbable types of minerals used by manufacturers
who want to cut production costs. Nutrient deficiencies
are one of the major causes of many degenerative
diseases millions of people suffer from today, and that
includes deficiencies due to poorly formulated
supplements. You get what you pay for in the way of
price and nonabsorbability. Mixing synthetic vitamins
and finely ground, poorly absorbable mineral elements
and forming them into tablets with toxic binders and
excipients does not constitute a healthy
supplement, but are cheap to produce and
leave much room for profit margins of the manufacturer
and chains of distribution. If you wish to have truly
effective supplements, the ingredients
in those formulations must contain whole food, enzyme-active
substances in the mix, and one or more combinations of
formulations must contain the full range of all known essential
nutrients found in whole foods. The ongoing
debate over whether supplements are good for you or bad
could be quickly settled if this little tidbit would be
brought out into the open. Finally resolve your
questions about ingredients on your supplements’ labels
and confidently select your supplements, knowing they
are truly effective, safe and nourishing. Use this
reference manual and feel the difference.
