Why Your Child is Hyperactive
by Dr. Ben Feingold
Dr. Feingold was a pioneer in learning to understand the connection between hyperactivity and food additives. He did not set out to help kids with hyperactivity but stumbled into the work while treating a patient with allergy symptoms. Even though the information is 50 years old, it is still a great place to start when considering natural solutions for ADHD.
Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders
by Dr. Kenneth Bock
This book helped me understand the link between the rise in autism, ADHD, asthma, and allergies. While all manifesting in different ways, these disorders actually have a similar underlying root cause: how the body deals with toxins. While some of it is technical, there are many success stories and help in understanding how DAN doctors are looking at the body and treating these conditions.
Gut and Psychology Syndrome: Natural Treatment for Autism, Dyspraxia, ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Depression, and Schizophrenia
by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
This is my most current read on the subject and really seems to get to the root of many neurological disorders: the condition of gut flora. The author of this book was able to help her own autistic son recover through diet, and has helped hundreds more to find help and healing through implementing her GAPS diet. With autism on the rise (1 in 55 boys are now diagnosed) it would be a good read for anyone concerned about what may be causing autism and related disorders. While my child-bearing years are over, I have 3 children in my home who may be parents someday. After our own battles linking diet with health and behavior issues, I want to consider these things seriously.
It will be interesting to watch what continued research in these areas will show.
Happy reading!
