Abstract
The unrelenting need for life-giving chemicals places the child at the mercy of his diet and of his capacity to provide his tissues with the constituents thereof. Digestion, absorption, assimilation, detoxication and excretion each contribute to this end and may be disrupted by the cellular degeneration that follows deficiency-induced metabolic failure. Such failure, whether latent or overt, is nutritionally correctable provided the damage is reparable and the treatment is knowledgeable.Keywords
