Bipolar Illness can Be Linked to
Common Food Ingredients.
Did you see the
Program on 20/20 the evening of
1/19/2000?
They
discussed Bipolar Illness in children. It is obvious to those who know
how to recognize children, who have allergies, that that could certainly
be a part or all of these children's problems.
Those
who watched were left with the impression that psychiatric help and
drugs were the answer for some of the children, but not all of them.
Maybe, if the child was really a challenge, institutionalization was what
was needed.
Could
this powerhouse on television have missed something?
A local
Phoenix
station interviewed a mother with an extremely aggressive son and found
the answer in the refrigerator. Red dyes, as Dr. Feingold stated in the
70's and I said in the 80's, triggered this boy's reaction. There
are hundreds of thousands of parents who have seen their children
become wild and uncontrollable from a highly colored beverage or cereal.
When
what you
read is not what you see in every day life, it means you might want to
find out who paid for the study.
If there
could be a vested interest, look more carefully at the details of the
study.
Some
of the affected children on the television show had dark eye circles,
red ears or cheeks. As shown on the program, these problems often
start in infancy and the terrible twos and go on and on - sometimes
through life unless the cause is found.
If the cause is a food, dust, mold, or pollen, the reaction
occurs about 10 to 60 minutes after exposure. If the reaction is due
to a chemical odor (perfume, disinfectant, a pesticide) the response can
be immediate and devastating.
Many
are diagnosed as
ADHD
or ADD. They can attack parents with
bats, knives, bottles, sticks, and anything else that is handy.
I have seen parents who had bite marks up and down their arms. I have
seen parents run from
their three-year-old
child. Many are afraid
of their children and constantly fearful that the phone will ring with
one more complaint. Most of these children look allergic and if you can
find and eliminate the cause, they stop having difficulty. Sure, the insurance
will pay for activity-modifying drugs, but these don't always help and
sometime they must be stopped. Sometimes they cause even more serious
side effects. The answer is to pay attention to what was eaten, touched
or smelled just
prior to the attack.
