Description
Warning signs of childhood B12 deficiency are often misdiagnosed as autism, depression, and mental illness. However, B12 deficiency is a treatable condition that can cause permanent nerve damage and disability if left untreated. Could It Be B12? Pediatric Edition provides a comprehensive guide to detecting and preventing pediatric disorders caused by B12 deficiency. Written by experts Sally Pacholok and Dr. Jeffrey Stuart, this book offers parents critical information on protecting their children from B12 deficiency from early fetal development through adolescence. It presents strategies for healthy nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding, early intervention for infants and young children, and detecting subtle to severe symptoms of B12 deficiency in older children and teenagers. Thoroughly researched and backed by scientific data, medical journal citations, and case studies, Could It Be B12? Pediatric Edition helps parents learn the warning signs of childhood B12 deficiency, prevent serious injury with timely intervention, and work with healthcare professionals to get effective treatment for their children.
