Hello,
My little boy is 7. He's been ADHD since birth. We've been on the
Feingold diet for 5 years or so. When he was a toddler he reacted
badly to many foods.
He was taking evening primrose oil plus extra vitamins which helped
his behaviour. He came out in rashes every time he went near berry
fruits, colours and
preservatives . One reaction caused his lip to
swell, another caused him to go into mild shock. We took him to a
cranial osteopath to help with the hyperactivity.
Amazingly, it also seem to help his allergies. The osteopath
believed this manipulation somehow helped his immune system. We now
haven't had a single rash since that time. He is now only refused
strawberries and blueberries and oranges.
Even though the behaviour and rashes improved, we found that if he
ate a colour, he would write his letters round the wrong way and have
difficulty reading until it wore off.
When he was 5 he began school. I knew I needed to keep him away from
certain things. I told him that if he did eat them he may not be
able to control himself and may be embarrassed after. So far, this
has worked. I think he's realised if he wants to keep friends he has
to keep to his diet.
By the way, my husband's also ADHD although my little girl of 5 seems
to be ok so far!
Best wishes!
Wendy

Our boy of 7 had cranial manipulation done by an osteopath. I'm not
sure if the chiropractors do the same thing. Here in the UK I think
the osteopaths have to have about four years' training and pass
exams. This one we saw was recommended to us. He just seemed to
massage our son's head and realign the neck. It took about five
sessions to see him really improve.
Apparently, the osteopath had seen improvements in the language of a
couple of autistic children as well.
I know they can do the cranial stuff on adults. I'm not sure if it
works as well as the kids though.
