Hi Tina, Summer is here! I hope you're enjoying great weather and good times. In this issue:

A new study is out showing the power of elimination diets for ADHD. I had fun heading off to the medical library with my family one Friday afternoon to pick up this study and some background information to write this article. Can you believe there is a med library walking distance from my home? - Exciting stuff for research nerds like me! The results were profound.

Study: Eliminate Diets Helps ADHD

By s

A new study uncovered the powerful effects of an elimination diet on children with ADHD. The study called, The Impact of Nutrition On Children with ADHD (INCA), was published in the Lancet in February 2011. It is so wonderful to see a mainstream journal recognizing the powerful effects of diet on behavioral (and physical) symptoms and publish these findings. Many children with autism and well as their siblings have ADHD and would benefit from the recommendations noted from this study. As well as having an affect ADHD, elimination diets also have positive effect on many of the other symptoms of autism. As such, the INCA study is valuable insight in support of diet for children with autism, and I am glad it is finally reaching the mainstream.

An elimination diet for ADHD was among the first nutritional interventions I discovered over ten years ago when I first researched ADHD and food. Among my recommendations in my initial research paper was a trial of the removal of foods or food components that are suspected to be problematic - i.e. an "elimination" diet.

And indeed, the links noted between food and behavior are very apt to the entire autism spectrum. In fact, these early findings on ADHD became the basis for my book on nutrition for autism (Nourishing Hope for Autism), because of the similarities in underlying causes and benefits of supportive diets.

While many parents have been seeing good results, doctors demanded research before they could support the notion. Here's that research.

One hundred children participated in the recent Lancet study. Half were assigned to each of two groups--50 children followed a 5-week elimination diet and 50 children were the control group (healthy) diet. Researchers began with a very elaborate elimination diet, and if behavioral problems still persisted after two weeks the particular child was put on an even more restrictive diet of only rice, turkey, pear, lettuce, and water

Farmageddon: The new documentary film debuted last week and we are looking at bringing it to San Francisco. The film shows how Americans' right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. Farmageddon tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area and would be interested in a screening, go to: http://www.nourishingourchildren.org/Farmageddon.html You can learn more about seeing the film near you at: http://farmageddonmovie.com/
