Medical Forum / General / Alternative / January 2005BBC address ADHD
Anyone have a few extra frequent flyer miles so we can send Jan? My office tenant, whose kids have ADHD, said she would waive all fees...just to help out... Horizon Thu 3 Feb, 9:00 pm - 9:50 pm 50mins Living with ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most misunderstood of all conditions. Some people accuse children with ADHD of just being naughty. They blame the parents and namby-pamby liberals who just won't accept that some people are just badly brought up and disruptive. For this edition of Horizon, the programme-makers spent six months with two families learning to live with ADHD. The result is a moving and intimate observational film that reveals: 1. What it is really like to have the condition. 2. The medical reasons why it exists. 3. How it is diagnosed. 4. How to tell it apart from normal behaviour. 5. How it often exists with other problems such as dyslexia or dyspraxia. 6. How to deal with it and the range of treatments that are available from drugs to parenting advice. 7. Its lows, but also its highs. Many people with ADHD believe that it gives them real advantages. To get to the truth, Horizon follows two families, the Hills and the Fischers, as they go through diagnosis and therapy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/listings/programme.shtml?day=thursday&service_id=422 4&filename=20050203/20050203_2100_4224_46783_50 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/index.shtml Believe it or not, behavioral problems in kids are sometimes caused by food sensitivities. I have heard of kids becoming so well behaved after adjusting their diet. Talk to a few allergist about this. Food sensitivities (allergies and intolerances) can trigger asthma, acne, psoriasis, eczema, migraines, sleep disorders, hayfever, joint pain, gastrointestinal problems, fatigue, depression, ADHD, and many other health problems. A good book about this is, "Food Allergies and Food Intolerance" by Dr. Jonathan Brostoff. You may be able to find additional books at the library. Most people know very, very little about food sensitivities. Many Doctors know very little. It is best to talk to a few allergist.

Allergists are doctors. True AD/HD, properly diagnosed using the AAP protocol, etc. has absolutely nothing to do with food allergies, sensitivities, etc. >> Believe it or not, behavioral problems in kids are >> sometimes caused [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > absolutely nothing to do with food allergies, > sensitivities, etc. This guy has been all over Usenet cutting and pasting this exact same post inresponse to just about every medical condition imaginable.

He missed alt.support.attn-deficit. Weird? I never said that allergist are not doctors. I was referring to many of the doctors out here who are not allergist. Read my statement carefully. I said that just because a person is a doctor doesn't mean that they know much about mild food allergies. It is best to talk to an allergist about mild food allergies. Personally, I would try to find out whether there is a controversy in the medical profession concerning the criteria for the AAP protocol. The opinions of a minority of doctors may not be heard, even though they may have some valid points. Besides, some of your other relatives may have hidden food allergies and not know it. It is worth the time to talk to a few allergist. You may be amazed at the health problems food can cause. Brad_Chad62@yahoo.com > I never said that allergist are not doctors.

And, unfortunately, there are a few people who think they know a lot about food allergies, when all they think they "know" is that a long list of chronic conditions for which there is no easy cure can be caused by them, and that willy-nilly testing for all foods followed by an elimination diet will cure you of everything, when it's simply not true. PF I never said that food sensitivities cause all health problems. A sizeable number of people have various health problems throughout their life that are attributed to food sensitivities (allergies and intolerances). I noticed a dramatic improvement in my health in only 2 days after going on an elimination diet. I told other people and they had improvement also. You can't find out if you don't try. It is important to know how to do an elimination diet correctly also. How many allergist have you talked to about food allergies?

And potentially fool yourself with the fallacy of "post hoc, ergo propter hoc". >It is >important to know how to do an elimination diet correctly also. How >many allergist have you talked to about food allergies? Um, many. You? PF |
