Today, many thousands of kids have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. Most of them are being treated with drugs like Ritalin. Millions of others (kids and adults) suffer from allergies that are bewildering in their causes.
An organization called the Feingold Association of the United States has traced the cause of many of the cases of the above afflictions to a very simple source: intolerance to food additives.
Our food does, indeed contain lots of additives. And if your system can’t tolerate them, they can make themselves manifest in the form of asthma, headaches, skin rashes, and even autism.
This is where the Feingold Association can help. Here’s how they work:
The Feingold Program itself is a test to determine if certain foods or food additives are triggering particular symptoms. It is basically the way people used to eat before “hyperactivity” became a household word, and before asthma and chronic ear infections became so very common. Used originally as a diet for allergies, improvement in behavior and attention was first noticed as a “side effect.” It is a reasonable first step to take before (or with if already begun) drug treatment for any of the symptoms listed on the Symptoms page.
Parents are often reluctant to give their kids sugary foods because they can make them hyper. However, according to Feingold, the problem is not the sugar itself, but in all the additives that are thrown in.
What they offer is an alternative to putting those additives in your system. You are tested to find out which (if any) additives are affecting you. Then, you are presented with alternative choices of similar products that don’t have the same ingredients.
So check out what they have to offer. It could change your life, or that of someone you love, for the better.
