Book Description

May 2007
As hyperactivity in children becomes more and more common, many parents are desperate to find a solution. Although there is no quick fix--prescription medications, for example, can often make the situation worse rather than better--there is an answer that has worked for many families.

Scientific studies have shown that a change in diet--specifically, the restriction of certain foods and the addition of others--can greatly decrease a child's hyperactive tendencies. Help for the Hyperactive Child is a user-friendly book that first explains how these dietary modifications can help, and then guides you in pinpointing the foods to which your child may be having adverse reactions. Recipes are included, along with suggestions for making other important lifestyle changes. Help for the Hyperactive Child can help your hyperactive child.

This review is from: Help for the Hyperactive Child: A Practical Guide Offering Parents of ADHD Children Alternatives to Ritalin (Paperback)
This book changed my life and I have recommended it over and over again. I met Dr. Crook and was able to tell him what his book had done for me. My son was a mess and today he has just finished his first year of college in Boston with A's and B's. The nutritional guidance is invaluable. Thank you!!
