I would love to send you a copy of my book or you can check it out here. Like most children, my son’s learning disability was preventable! I have testimonies in the book of the various ocean supplements kids took and now they are genius singers, math genius, and my son at 21 has two part time jobs. I had to assess the high-risk region where I was born, and the goitrogen foods I was eating that compromised my thyroid.įast forward I began supplementing my son with iodine rich supplements at 16 years old. I wrote a book about why my son was born with mental retardation. My son was diagnosed with mental retardation when I was 4 months pregnant and my OB recommended abortion.

Price, a dentist in the 1900’s that traveled the world to study nutrition, found that the cultures with the highest longevity rates consumed 10 times the amount of vitamin A compared with the diet of his time (and that’s when people were still eating cod liver oil, beef liver and raw whole milk!)Ĭod liver oil also contains omega 3’s and fatty acids like EPA and DHA.
