Rebels with a Cause - Living with A.D.D. dispels the myths attached to Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) and Attentions Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (A.D.H.D.) to help parents, families, teachers and the public understand how and why this damaging disorder is affecting our children.
Ruth has explained how it can sometimes feel for the sufferer that they are ‘going fast on the inside’ and what this actually means in regard to their whole body’s reaction to the disorder. Rebels with a Cause explains some of the causes of A.D.D., along with suggestions to help ranging from diet modifications, including the importance of minerals and a balance of acid and alkaline foods in the diet, food additives, allergies and intolerances, and also the chemicals found in our environment that can be just as great a problem. Ruth also explains how even ‘good food’ can trigger negative responses.
Somewhat similar to Safe Nourishment, this booklet is also designed to be carried in the handbag as a quick reference guide to food additives that have been found to exacerbate or trigger the neurotransmitters that cause ADD. All the additives concerned are listed by number and name.
Factors covered in the booklet are;
* Food Emulsifiers
* Artificial Sugars
* Chemicals
* Organophosphate pesticides and other Agricultural chemicals
As with all Ruth’s books there is ample advice on natural remedies to help over come the problem of hyperactivity in children.
