Attention Deficit Disorder

Is your child constantly running around, can't sit still and play for more than two minutes, has a temper tantrum at the drop of a hat, problems with fighting at school, difficulty going to sleep and getting up early, is your child' behaviour causing you problems at home and when out visiting?

This is a problem that has been getting worse over the last decade or two.   Have you considered that it might have something to do with the diet?

Look at the food we eat nowadays. It is stuffed full of artificial colour, preservatives, flavouring and sweeteners. Just look at the crisps. All the different flavours coming onto the market.

How often do we say " Let have a treat, lets have a takeaway", or "you have been good today, have some sweets". Do you know how many artificial colours and flavours are added, especially aspartame? Not all artificial substances have to be listed on the label.

I know of a little boy, who was quite out of control and his parents came to me, quite at the end of their tether and asked for help.

By talking of his diet, we decided to cut out all sweets, ice pops, crisps other than ready salted and all coke, lemonade, squash and to limit the intake of white flour products.

Two days later I met the father and he was over the moon, as there had already been a marked change and a week later he was just an ordinary little boy, still lively but not out of control.

We do not do our children any favours by giving them sweets as rewards, why not try some nice fruit or carob chocolate, which is also dairy free instead.

If you suspect there might be a problem in your family, why don't you try it. You have nothing to lose.

Love and light
