This book is an easy to read, very informative life saver for parents with children who show signs of A.D.D. or A.D.H.D.. Before you even consider Ritalin, even as a last resort such as I did, read this book and try the four day sample diet and I am confidant you will see a great improvement in your child! I have to say, though, if you see improvement you will have to join the Feingold Association of the United States for recipes and an easy to use guide of name brand products for your area that will make life easier on busy parent's as it gives you a chance to buy a lot of your favorite convienence foods which help add variety to the diet. It is WELL worth it! Do yourself and your child HUGE favor and buy this book.

This book describes the same behaviors that were evident in my child. Wow! You mean I'm not the only one...Jane, yes I feel like I know her after reading the book, walks you through the process of dietary management of the behaviors and symptoms of hyperactivity. She really tells you how to function in a society that most events are based around eating/drinking, mostly chemical-laden foods. Their is a national organization that for a small yearly fee ($75) provides you with all the homework of what foods work and a shopping guide, a meal planner, phone and internet support and loads more. This really is a great way to avoid adding more chemicals/drugs into your child's life! I certainly agree that I'd rather remove the culprit of the hyperactivity than to add more chemicals into my child. And it's all healthy! Yes, junk food is allowed, it's just all-natural junk. Right now, that includes Pringles potato chips, Fritos corn chips, pop-tarts(selected varieties), hot dogs, etc. It's just a matter of choosing the acceptable brand. For example, not using Skippy peanut butter, but using Peter Pan or Jif. It's that easy at times. Jane Hersey is a wonderful read!

When I first picked up this book, I thought I'd find the typical parenting tips on time-outs and reward systems and the like. I was surprised to find the book making connections between certain behaviors and the foods we eat. I was sceptical, but kept reading. When I read the list of symptoms, I realized that my 7 year old son had many of them. I thought I'd give the diet a try, even though I was still very sceptical. IT HAS CHANGED MY SON'S LIFE!!!! Yes, my food bill almost doubled, but only for a few weeks. Now it as almost back down to where it was before. Yes, the diet seemed difficult and overwhelming at first, but now it is so easy it hardly seems like we're on a "special diet". No, we do not eat a lot of snack foods, or sugary cereals. Frigo cheese-heads, and Crispix cereal are favorites at our house. Sure I could have saved money by joining CHADD and buying medication with the change, but medications just cover up symptoms, and don't do anything about eliminating the cause of those symptoms. This diet can reduce or eliminate many of the causes of ADD and ADHD symptoms. The only drawback to this diet is that it takes EFFORT. It is a whole lot easier to just shove a pill down your kid's throat each morning, but is that really the best choice? The diet must be strictly followed for the first several weeks, then foods can be reintroduced one at a time to see if they bring on unwanted behaviors. The long and the short of it is, this book probably saved my son's life. I highly recommend it.
