Summary: Being the Best!
Review: I consider 'Lets have Healthy Children' to be one of the most valuable books in the world. Adelle teaches us how to insure our children reach their full genetic potential. The proof is in the putting and you should see my two children that were Adelle Davis babies. Both are well above average intellegence as well as extra healthy and beautiful. Now we start the next generation of Adelle Davis babies in our family. I must find a copy of this book to pass along so my new grandbaby can be the best she can be.

Summary: Still Ahead of Her Time
Review: I followed Adelle Davis's advice thirty years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter, and then through the birth of her brother and both their childhoods. They have always been smart, healthy, and attractive people, and I think AD's advice helped. I generally keep an eye out for new studies on nutrition and, time and again, I find that something Adelle recommended, such as the importance of anti-oxidants and of folic acid for pregnant women, has become nutritional gospel. She even recommended PABA to combat sunburn before there was such a thing as sunblock on the market. What I wish would happen now is that doctors would read her comments on giving iron salts to pregnant women. She cites studies that implicate them in miscarriages, prematurity, and toxemia. I feel obstetricians should pay more attention to what's in the supplements they give their patients and how those substances interact in the body. In other words, I wish obstetricians knew more about nutrition and could help their patients have easier pregnancies and healthier babies. Their abilities to diagnose and provide emergency care are laudable, but as the new grandmother of a premature baby, whose mother followed her doctor's advice to the letter, I wish doctors knew about the kind of preventive care this book helps women achieve. As I understand it, this book is being reprinted. I hope it comes with a new foreword by respected physicians. It's a book that, ideally, should continue to promote research that will mean healthier babies. What could be more important?

Summary: Excellent advice for caring parents
Review: I have read this book and my wife followed the advice during the pregnancies of our four daughters. Each baby was strong and healthy at birth, able to raise their chest off the mattress by about one inch the day after birth. They each had full control of their heads being able to turn and look around at the light in the delivery room. I have not found another book to compare to the information provided in this, and believe that this book should be promoted strongly in the face of child birth defects and health problems.

Summary: Breastfed Twins
Review: I love this book also. Adelle's Pep-up formula gave me all the energy I needed to totally breastfeed my twin girls for 6 months. Also thanks to Ms. Davis each of my babies had a good birth weight, 5 lbs. 14 oz. and 6 lbs. 6 oz. They are now very healthy 29 year olds. I too look forward to the re-issue of this wonderful book.

Summary: This woman is a Seer!
Review: I received this book in 1994 as a gift during my pregnancy. The woman who gave it to me no longer could find the book so she copied it and had it bound for me. At first I thought this was a little strange that she would like a book so much that she could not even let me borrow it. But then, after reading these copies and taking so many notes, I was astounded by the absolute genius I was reading! Adelle Davis has to be so far ahead of her time that she must be psychic! It's easy to see by reading her book on things that have since come true and other doctor's who are now encouraging the same things she encouraged when no one else really knew any better! Her advice on nutritional supplements is indispensable! I have told so many other mothers about this book and sadly, no one has really heard of it. This book needs to be in reprint for so many new mother's who would benefit so by her expertise. The reason I feel so strongly about this book and Adelle is because during my preganacy I went to get a manicure and the lady who was taking my nail polish off kept rubbing my nails saying she couldn't get off this clear polish. Well, that's when I looked down and told her that I didn't have any on, that my nails were so shiny from the vitamins! She had this mask of preganacy on her face and she said that she had had it for a number of years and she went to every doctor she could think of and no one could help. She had spent hundreds of dollars on cosmetics and cover-ups. She tried to have laser peels to no avail. She had told me that she had given up trying. Well, I was just finshed with Adelle's book and I remember her saying to combat the mask of pregnancy (melasma) take some Folic Acid. I told this woman about the Folic Acid and she had me write down how much to take and after work, she left to try it. I had to leave then and about 3 months later I came back to see her and to my surprise, her markings were gone! She said that the Folic Acid had done it in just a week and she couldn't thank me enough. I told her to tell others about this book and that would make me happy. Anyway, sorry for the babble, I just love this book. Buy it!

Summary: OUTSTANDING BOOK
Review: I used this book 33 years ago with my children. Now I have gotten a used copy for one of my daughters-in-law, and need to get more for others. It is absolutely outstanding! Extraordinary and critical information is provided which is crucial for you and your baby. Even thought it is "old," it is timeless. Our bodies and needs remain the same. I hope someone will reprint it so that it will be more easily available.
