Diet suggestions that help A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. According to Linda Rector Page, N.D., PhD, Conventional therapies normally address only the symptoms of an illness, not the cause. It is clear they are not the answer in the long run. Addressing the cause of A.D.D. is the first big step. Nutrition is a major key. Alternative forms of therapy should certainly be considered before any child is placed on a drug. The first choice should be to detect and eliminate the cause of the illness. Nutrients are unquestionably helpful for many and eliminating highly allergenic foods can sometimes totally relieve hyperactivity of ADD in 3-7 days, says Doris Rapp, M.D. in the foreword. She continues, This important book, The A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. DIET will provide the type of answers that are needed to make an informed choice for safer, better, easier and less expensive treatments for ADD and ADHD. People with ADD/ADHD may be fine one minute and off the wall the next. This apparent random type of behavior may not be random at all. It may be caused by food or environmental allergens. It could be due to a blood sugar disturbance, mineral imbalance, or the presence of toxic metals at the cellular level. It could be caused by any of a number of things. But is most certainly is not mere coincidence.
The authors, Rachel Bell and Dr. Howard Peiper have compiled the latest research information concerning contributing factors for ADD and ADHD that have dietary implications. They present this material in an easy to read book that reveals how candida can become a problem, what foods are common allergens and what foods can be toxic, eating habits that contribute to maldigestion and immune system compromise, nutritional supplements that help ADD/ADHD and information on non-dietary approaches to relieving symptoms. Written in cooperation with Dr. Marshall Mandell, this book is an enlightened an important contribution to giving children and adults diagnosed with ADD orADHD, the gift of a quality life, Linda Rector Page.
The things we discuss in this book, affect us all. We are inextricably tied together. There is a state of emergency concerning the lives of our children. ADD/ADHD is not just something that happens to some people. It is not something that you have to learn to live with, or something that, you can’t do anything about. You can do something about it. We have written this book to show you how.
