Fun and CreativeReview Date: 2008-12-16
I loved the "What to Feed Your Kids and Why" section. I know what to feed my kids, I've been doing it since they were born and this section didn't have that annoying condescending tone to it, but gave me good ideas, reminded me of a few things and taught me a few things too.
This cookbook is a keeper.

I wish this book was out when I was a teenReview Date: 2008-12-21
Great book even for adultsReview Date: 2007-01-12
Great book, especially for the appropriate reader.Review Date: 2007-01-08
Although this book is definitely more appropriate for a teenager, I think it is certainly written for a younger teen. Upon first starting the book, I was annoyed by the colloquial tone it used to establish a, "Hey, I'm young too!" type deal. He started the book with a line like, "What's up?" and uses words and phrases like "crap," "bs," "stuff," etc. He also frequently interjects anecdotes about his friends, family, and life experiences, and repeatedly talks about his involvement in school as a law student. Although I do think it's admirable that he is trying to establish a connection with his reader, it is a little over-done.
Aside from this being written for a younger person, it seems also to focus on severely depressed people with low self-esteem. For me, as someone who has never been picked on, has never had an issue with low self-esteem, and has no means to relate to the quotes in the book like, "I hate myself!!!," I found most of these parts boring. There is also an entire chapter devoted to those suffering from anorexia and bulimia that I completely skipped over.
You definitely get over it fast though, and this book was somewhat amusing and as easy read (written on probably a sixth grade level). I was able to read it in two days and found it difficult to put down. My above comments were not at all to criticize the author or discourage someone from reading this, but I would advise an older teenager to perhaps look into other options or even consider reading Dr. Phil's book and deal with the irrelevant parts.
The bottom line, though, is that this book is definitely helpful to anyone of any age. I personally liked the suggestions of ways to distract myself when I want to snack (I now will take a shower, go for a walk, or paint my nails). The nutritional plan is well-organized and easy to follow, and I actually like this chapter more than the one in Dr. Phil's book. There are certain "fluff" keys I think are used only to make the book longer, but the ones that help really do get the job done. I wish the best of luck to anyone embarking upon a weight loss journey; this book will definitely give you the push you need!

Are you Omega-3 deficient? Review Date: 2007-01-08
The LCP Solution gives an excellent history of how as humans we have deviated from the normal staple of food our species once had consumed. Past humans depended on the intake of fish, but today with fast food and so many other options, fish is not normally put on the dinner table daily. In my house, we are lucky if we have fish every other week.
Further chapters delve into the details of exactly why Omega-3 is necessary for our bodies and more specifically our mind. Deficiencies can not only produce skin disorders but also mind disorders, which are manageable through the supplementation of Omega-3's back into our daily diet.
Real-life stores are included as well as relevant studies and research. The medical and homeopathic communities are beginning to fully embrace the topic. In fact, my son's ADHD Pediatrician, as well as his regular Pediatrician both recommend Omega-3 supplementation.
Omega-3 supplementation has become a nutritional priority in my house because of The LCP Solution. And I am very happy to report that my 11 year old's eczema has completely resolved, his language arts and reading skills have increased, and his ADHD has become manageable. I am not professing that you will have such miraculous results, but this book is definitely worth a read.

Informative and Provides Hope!Review Date: 2007-10-13
I have read similar accounts in separate studies, along with talking with other parents. The EFAs can produce significant changes in our special kids!
We started the Essential Fatty Acids after reading about them on a Speech Apraxia site. That is only one of my son's diagnoses. I suppose his brain injury due to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) is our greatest challenge and his Dyspraxia, Mild CP, Speech Apraxia, and Autism Spectrum are secondary to it.
He was helped considerably when I was giving him two capsules after reading the Speech Apraxia forums several years ago. I mean, the EFAs weren't going to hurt him! After reading this book, I found that I needed to give him five capsules for three months and drop it to one-half for maintenance. His therapists noticed considerable differences and I had not mentioned the supplements to them. I wanted impartial input and they saw what our family was experiencing. My son had more ability to concentrate, less behavior differences, he retained information better, and more useful energy. His auditory processing difficulties improved.
I can't imagine any parent unwilling to help their child when there is no possibility of harm. In any case, the EFAs are beneficial even if one sees no apparent change.
As with other treatments/therapies/supplements, every special needs child will respond differently. We have used Nordic Naturals Lemon flavored oils and capsules. Dr. Stordy gives several recommendations in her book.
I recommend QUALITY EFAs to all moms of special needs children, along with this book! It is over 300 pages of helpful information!
I wish that it would have been available 16 years ago when my son was born.
Good info, but not the whole story...Review Date: 2006-04-26
Few people would disagree that there are genetic components to ADD, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. But that isn't the end of the story. Family members that live together also tend to eat similar diets, and eating habits are transmitted (though they may evolve) from one generation to the next. So implement a better diet, and add those LCPs. Just don't stop there.
What this book lacks is a meaningful discussion of a third factor: the role of situational determinants of behavioral response. That's a fancy way of saying that how the adults in a child's life manage and respond to the child's behavior does matter! No pill--Ritalin or LCPs or anything else--can make up for a chaotic environment or for inconsistent parenting. Developmentally appropriate structure and routines in any child's life support good behavior in the classroom and at home--and do it with empathy for the child's struggles to learn this new way.
For an excellent understanding of how to implement the third factor, see Dr. John Gottman's superb book, "Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child: The heart of parenting." As a social worker, I recommend it highly--not only for parents of children with challenges, but for parents with children of all ages. Gottman (a psychologist) advocates what he calls 'emotional coaching' as the way to address problematic situations. If you read it and apply its principles, your life and that of the children with whom you interact with be forever changed in a better way.

If you don't get this book...Review Date: 2002-05-10
My next reaction was great joy. Finally, there was hope. No drugs, and still helpful. This was too good to be true. So, I tried it. First on myself (I was diagnosed as hyperactive and put on ritalin when I was 5 - there was no ADHD yet in those days.). After a week of supplementing, I found I was able to concentrate like never before. Both the quality and quantity of my work have greatly improved. I figured if it helped me, maybe it would help my son. He has sensory integration dysfunction, ADHD, and a few other problems. I started supplementing him on Sunday. When I dropped him off to school the next Thursday, his kindergarten teacher took me aside and asked if my wife and I were doing anything differently with him, therapy wise. At first, I forgot about the LCP's and said no. I asked her why. She said that it had been my son's best week of the school year (it was April). He was concentrating much better. He was able to complete his school work. He was speaking much better and much clearer. He was able to follow directions. He was getting along with the other kids. He had far fewer fits. In her words, it was like we had transformed him into a different child. I then remembered the LCP supplement and told her about it. We came to the conclusion that since that was the only different thing, that must be responsible for the difference. Our family life is also improved. He has fewer fits. He is able to handle change much better. When he wants to, he is able to concentrate much better. He is also learning at a much more rapid pace and has caught up to and surpassed many kids his age, academically.
Thank you Dr. Stordy.

Eco AdventureReview Date: 2008-12-31
A great adventure/mystery book - one of my favorites.Review Date: 2008-12-22
It was hard for me to put this book down once I started reading it. My Dad would have to rip it out of my hands at night and make me go to bed. I didn't want to, though. I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next.
This was a great adventure/mystery story. A lot of times I'm able to figure out the ending right at the beginning of the story. But with this book I couldn't. Every time I thought Big B's Grandpa was cured, the story took another turn and kept on getting more interesting, making it even harder to put down.
I recommended this book to my friends and my school's librarian. She read it and now she wants a copy to put in our library.
I hope B.T. Hope keeps writing more books because I really enjoyed this one.

We truly enjoyed The Curse of the Bone Pirates. Not only was the adventure awesome, the eco-logical parts of the book teach students as well.
We will be watching for more Eco-Logical Adventures, and look forward to re-reading and learning more. We will be passing this book on to our students to read.

Very Good- Combine with Toning For TeensReview Date: 2007-02-25
P.S. A great way to make raw or cooked vegetables taste better without adding fat or even many calories is to dip them in vinegar-balsamic, white wine, distilled white, or many of the flavored vinegars on the market. Also, drink those 6 glasses a water per day. You will need to go to the bathroom more, but you feel... lubricated? I don't know. It just feels nice.

I Am Strong To The Finish Because I Eat My Spinach!Review Date: 2008-10-05
1.) After doing a little research, I found the goal of this book is intended to be motivational. Why do kids love McDonalds? It's presented as fun and exciting. Kids don't want to eat at McDonalds because of the fact that sugars and fat are pleasing to the taste buds...
2.) My kids enjoyed "The Race Against Junk Food" very much. After reading this book to them (I have a girl and boy aged 5 and 8, respectively) they chanted, "Give me a carrot." Goal accomplished!
3.) I discovered that, as ridiculously simple and circuitous as it sounds, research has proven that one gets children to learn to eat healthy by having them eat healthy (lots of fruits and vegetables) at the earliest possible age.
4.) Reasoning: In order to survive over tens of thousands of years the foods of infants and toddlers were screened by Mother to prevent poisoning. Young children had to remember (instinctively) what those foods were in order to survive their earliest stages of independence when Mother was no longer around. These habits that are built into humans over tens of thousands of years are known as instincts. They never leave modern man.
5.) I think of this book as one of the tools I use to educate my kids about healthy eating. One doesn't take a screw driver out of a tool box and throw it away because it doesn't drive nails, does one? I have several other books I use to teach my children the facts about healthy eating.
6.) On an editorial level, I've got to agree with a reviewer that the story line and writing maybe get a C for the adult reader. On the other hand, what kind of Mother would return a $10 book, getting back maybe $3.33 after shipping and handling when there's any chance that the book would help her child to lead a more healthy life?
7.) Several years back, "Transformers" had the most ridiculous story line, but kids watched it in droves...
8.) I know I tried spinach (as did millions of others) after Popeye ate his!

The story is fun and not preachy at all and it's good to see my child with good eating habits on his mind. What more can I ask for?
Lighten Up and Eat HealthyReview Date: 2005-06-06
I would agree that this book won't win any literary awards. However, for me the most important critic of this book is my son. And he loved it! He's asked that I read it over and over again. And most importantly, he's taken a keen interest in eating healthy.
My understanding is that "The Race Against Junk Food" is supposed to be a MOTIVATIONAL book. There is plenty of "how to" books about what our children should eat. And still up to 1/3 of our kids are obese. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that we should all eat lots of fruits and vegetables. My issue is getting my son to want to eat healthy.
I would respectively suggest that from my son's point of view this book is like the movie that the critic pans and everyone else loves.
