From two leading authorities in clinical nutrition, one a medical doctor and the other a naturopathic doctor, comes this fundamental text on clinical nutrition. They identify the nutritional deficiencies and dependencies caused by our junk-food diet that have resulted in public malnutrition and serious dietary disorders and diseases. They present an alternative diet that is whole, alive, fresh and varied. For individuals with nutritional problems, they provide appropriate and safe vitamin, mineral, essential fatty acid, and amino acid therapy programs. The book features a 30-page analysis of the nutrient content of common foods as well as case-study accounts of successful nutritional treatment of many common illnesses.
