Accepted Answer

A tiny: human being your son's age really needs professional help with Nutrition issues. I would not use the supplement you describe due to the ALLERGENIC components ( EGG....PEANUT BUTTER)
Check with your PEDIATRICIAN who can refer you to a NUTRITIONIST to assist you with your child's problem

Good luck and I hope this helps!

New junk: This diet is just the latest in thousands of pseudo-scientific diets that aren't scientifically valid, but are designed to sell books, supplements, etc. And get someone on tv to scare a lot of people who don't know better.
