Product Description
In his private practice, Joel Fuhrman, M.D. helps families transform their eating habits and recover their health. His nutrient-rich eating plan can have a significant impact on your child’s resistance to dangerous infections, and a dramatic effect on reducing the occurrence of illnesses like asthma, ear infections, and allergies. Dr. Fuhrman explains how you can make sure your children are eating right to maintain a healthy mind and body, and how eating certain foods and avoiding others can positively impact your child’s IQ and success in school.
           He also presents the fascinating science that demonstrates that the current epidemic of adult cancers and other diseases is closely linked to what we eat in the first quarter of life. Eating well in our early years may enable us to win the war on cancer. Bolstered by this scientific evidence, he helps you do everything you can to protect your child against developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, and cancer through a solid nutritional groundwork.
Featuring easy-to-prepare, kid-friendly recipes that will satisfy even the pickiest eaters, your whole family will learn to establish life-long healthful eating habits.
           Harness the power of a nutrient-rich diet to ensure a lifetime free of illness and full of health!

 If you love your kids (and yourself) read this book! ( funkarilla )
Loving kids doesn't mean feeding them Mc Donalds and Ice Cream to make them feel good like my wife and I have done for years.
My wife and I are borderline obese if not obese and are kids and even our dog were starting to look like us.
What a nightmare!
By doing some of the things in this book we've been able to get a hold of our families runaway lethal eating habits.
I lost 10 pounds in 1 week by just increasing my fruit and green leafy food intake alone and cutting out milk.
Nothing extreme and no starving. Just eat lots of fruit, fresh veggies, raw nuts and seeds and beans.
Thanks Dr. Fuhrman.

This book changed my life
This changed the way I thought about food, how I feed my kids and my husband. It changed my view in so many different aspects. i got a group of ten people together and we all did the six week plan. It was super difficult, but an awesome experience knowing that I could control myself in that way.

 an interesting read ( kyoung-hye )
This is the fist book I've read that was written by Dr Fuhrman, so his theories were very new to me. I'm not sure what to think of his theories, to avoid meat and dairy all together. I will need to do more thinking and researching before I decide whether I want to follow his advice or not, but it was an interesting view point. The book did make me look at what I eat, and realized that fruit, veggies, and nuts were only a small part of my diet, so I'm trying to eat more of them. I give it 4 stars because although I don't agree with everything he says, I did find the book interesting.

Valuable Information ( t_swan )
This book contains a lot of valuable info for those who may not be in the know about sugar, processed foods, or artificial ingredients. I do feel that there is a bit of fear-mongering, but in today's world I would rather see a little of that than what I see many parents feeding their kids (especially when these same parents are constantly wondering why their kids are sick all the time!). For those of us who are health-conscious and raising our children to be so as well, this is a lot of "preaching to the choir" - but a little reinforcement never hurt anyone.
One caveat - he does advocate using soy milk and other soy products. I am not 100% anti-soy, but I feel that one needs to use soy sparingly, and as un-processed as possible.
Just an FYI for those who are not familiar with Fuhrman, he is an advocate of a raw diet... while there are some cooked recipes in this book, and even a couple with meat, a lot of them are raw.
I've tried a bunch of the recipes and my family enjoys them. The date-nut pop-ems were a huge hit with my toddler and she requests them often.

Disease Proof Child: Feeding Kids Right by Dr. Joel Fuhrman
This is one of the BEST books I have read on nutrition and living healthy. The other BEST book I have read in the same regard is Eat To Live by same author Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Both books are a "must read". Dr. Fuhrman offers practical, straightforward informantion and anyone can comprehend and apply to their daily lives. His plan is simple and makes complete sense as we are faced with daily pressure to eat fast food,junk food and foods loaded with sugar, fat and preservatives. Some nutritous food may not always be as convienient as fast food but nutritous food won't kill you, fast food and junk food (empty calories) will. I plan to read all Dr. Fuhrman's books and apply his plan to my daily living.
