A Boy Called It by David Pelzer

Studies are pointing to the importance of nutrients... I quote from the latest report...
"nutrients constitute the most long-lasting environmental influence on the human body from before birth until death, interacting with the genome and leading to different responses in individuals depending on their genetic background and other environmental factors. Therefore, nutrition scientists must make a concerted effort to include nutrition and lifestyle data in databases such as NCBI"
Welfare the concept and the outlook has to change, if you look at the growing prison population, read books like , "A Boy Named It," you will realize that  what we empower for families that need help is not working...

College settings are  a good example of how to help people that need help, set up learning centers where they will live. .  Learn something to get out of poverty, while protecting and nurturing the children in controlled healthy environments, and best of all ...it saves the taxpayers money, while saving lives of children who are destined for prison, if we keep going the way we are going.  I cried my eyes out when I read this book.  You will be glad to read his other books, because the ending was miraculous, when you consider what his life was like as a child.
