The Feingold Cookbook for Hyperactive Children, and Others with Problems Associated with Food Additives and Salicylates

I used this system over 35 years ago on my daughter that had uncontrollable temper tantrums. In about a week that behavior stopped. We kept both of our kids on the Feng old diet until they were 5 or 6... then it wasn't needed for them.Back then of course, we only had a list of things to eliminate, slowly adding things back in. Sugar wasn't ever the issue with my kids, but food color was.Now this is being used by those same daughters for their kids due to food allergies. So having recipes is nice.

great

This book is so eye opening. It gives a lot of information. What I love about it is that they actually give you so many recipes that you can make yourself and brands of products to buy that are very specific. I have been telling everyone about this book. Thank you.

For parents of children who have been labled ODD, ADHD and other hyperactive and behaivor disorders, this book could change your lives. Dr. Fiendgold has come under critism for his ideas concerning the effect of cemicals in food and their effect on an individuals' nervious systems. When I decided to try Dr. Fiengold's diet I was desperite to help my ODD son and wanted to help him without putting him on drugs. Our whole family tried the diet for six weeks and the results were amazing! Our son is now 20 and a straight A student at the Univerisity of Wisconsin on a music scholarship! He still has to follow Dr. Feingold's guidelines for his diet, but he is a very delightful and productive young man today and has never been on drugs to control his behavior! Thank you DR. Fiengold! We love you!This book needs to be reprinted!

I am a mum from the Uk. My 17 yr old son has a diagnosis of ADHD and Asperger's syndrome. without Dr Feingold's diet my son would not have a life. He is not a straight A student, though being very intelligent. This diet helps al kids with challenging behaviours, some become straight A students and others get their lives back - either way this diet is incredible. My son would obviously prefer a meal out sometimes to his gluten free, dairy free, salicylate free diet but he knows that his behaviour will change and therefore all the things he does in life will also be affected. I really truly do not know what I would do without Dr Feingold. In the UK, his diet is not popular, it is not recommended by the experts, so parents know very little about it. If only one parent in the UK read this article and tried it, it is well worth writing it. UK mum

I have followed this cookbooks recommendations since 1983. My son is ADHD and my husband always said if you can't read it don't eat it. It definitely made a differnce in my sons actions and he is now graduating from college and we all still eat much healthier than we would have. The recipes in this cookbook are delicious and I would like to give atleast two of these for Christmas presents and I need one l for myself since whoever borrowed it never returned it to me. They must of liked it too.
