What Every
Parent and Child Should Know
Dr. Janelle Love, M.D. takes
her experience as doctor and mother of an autistic child to create an
easy-to-read picture book that helps children and their families
understand pieces of the medical autism puzzle.
Though written as a children’s
book, Love includes valuable information for grown-ups on the back cover
that explains the importance, as well as possible side effects, of
nutritional supplementation in controlling brain and gut inflammation
for children on the autistic spectrum. This inflammation leads to
nutritional deficiencies and altered biochemistry functions all over the
body, especially the brain. As a physician who treats associated medical
conditions of autism, Love often hears parents report beneficial effects
of nutritional supplements, herbs and medications, but is also aware of
ingredients such as dyes, sugars, nitrates and gluten in these
supplements that cannot be processed by an autistic child.
Created to aid
children and adults in understanding one of the many aspects of autism,
Why Do I Take Vitamins? will benefit families, educators and
anyone with questions about this condition. For more information, please
