Have you read, "Tracking Down Hidden Food Allergies" by Dr. William Crook ? Have you read, "Dr. Braly's Food Allergy and Nutrition Revolution ? There are many doctors and parents who have treated or modified kids ADD by finding their Hidden Food Allergies and nutritional deficiencies. If a child has food allergies that is causing his attention problems, he does not have ADHD. Jeff http://addadhdadvances.com/foodallergy1.html Book sales by the author. Surely not an objective source of information. Anthony Kane, MD He is the author. http://www.childbehave.com/chapters/add/effect.html Straight from the totally debunked Feingold diet plan. *dunked* by whom??????? Several dozen studies performed at various medical institutions. http://www.cspinet.org/new/adhd_resch_bk02.pdf Interesting. For the most part, they take a middle ground. However, if you read this six year old report, you will see that they are referring to diet induced behaviors and AD/HD and DO NOT EQUATE them. Go back and read again. Effects of food dyes on behavior of children with ADHD significantly worsen In some studies, in others there was no effect. Mixed results do not prove causality. Further, the entire report, when read as a whole supports my statement. http://www.cspinet.org/new/adhdpr.html This is the press release for the previous report. Adds nothing. If a child's behavioral problems can be explained by food allergies, then the child has a problem with food allergies and not AD/HD. In the diagnostic protocol for determining whether a child has AD/HD, food, and other, allergies, have to be ruled out. Once all causes are ruled out, then AD/HD can be diagnosed. Like I have always maintained, there are diet induced behaviors and AD/HD, and they are NOT the same. We know a number of things you have maintained.. Yes, and in 99.9% of the cases, I am right. They were lies. There ya go, again, being nasty. I was having a nice, courteous, discussion with you, and YOU derailed it. Shame on you. |

Don't underestimate the importance of a scientific approach to finding hidden food triggers! Without a structured approach it's easy to overlook an actual trigger, or conclude that a non-trigger food IS a trigger food and therefore eliminate it unnecessarily. All that is well and good but if you really want to know you should then do a blind challenge. After you think you have pinpointed the problem have someone else give the kid the food on some days and not others. See if you can tell which is which without being told. Several such studies have been done on ADHD kids whose parents believed they had a food intolerance. When tested the parents uniformly could not tell if their kids had been given the "trigger food". -- 00doc |

Hi -- I'd be curious to know about the studies that 00doc cites, about the parents who couldn't tell if their kids had been given "trigger" foods. Do you have the cites available? By the way, I'll strongly second the notion of having some sort of a double-blind test of trigger foods before accepting a diagnosis of food intolerance. --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

It's funny how the food industry (and the U.S. Government) seem to have
so little interest in funding research on the relationship between food and human behavior. Maybe they are afraid that finding the truth will cause a drop in sales of processed foods? Maybe they are afraid that companies like Dominos Pizza will lose a lot of customers if we know how many people are really sensitive to wheat or dairy? All it takes is a little effort to find out what your hidden food allergies are. It could change your life. Many people have solved 3 or 4 of their health problems in a few days by finding their hidden food allergies. They have also gotten a big energy boost too. It may also improve the appearance of your skin. It made my skin look about 10 years younger in a matter of days. |

The DSM IV clearly delineates the diagnostic criteria for AD/HD. The AAP has published diagnostic and treatment protocols. However, there is no doubt that the diagnosis and treatment remain in the forefront of discussion amongst professionals, and this is a good thing, not bad as you seem to imply. Refining, learning, studying is good. You can do your homework and learn more about AD/HD by visiting the appropriate websites. |

The CSPI monograph on AD/HD refers to several of these studies. The model
used was double blind, cross-over challenge. For one thing, sugar having a role was soundly debunked. "Beth Kevles" wrote in message ...

What research have you done to reach such a conclusion? Have you read the cites posted by Jan which address the numerous studies over the years? |

-- DSM IV is the fabrication upon which psychiatry seeks acceptance by medicine in general. Insiders know it is more a political than scientific document. To its credit it says so --Loren R.
