> In my experience, allergies play a very important role in ADD/ADHD. We know ADD/ADHD is only a st of symptoms we can identify.
Brain function abnormalities including ADD/ADHD can result from malnutrition or toxin load, which also happns to aggravate allergic symptoms. Toxin load can cause anxiety, hyperactivity, insomnia, confusion, blood pressure, elevated cortisol, reduced or overactive (allergic) immune response, or even autoimmunes, as the system lacks control (pick one or more), and toxin load has been implicated also in cell receptor damage. In other words, consider that the supposed allergic symptoms may not be causative and the that the allergic response itself can be modulated. An all-good program to find out where one is really at is detoxification, usually assuming you're going to also be healing bowel dysbiosis/candida and leaky gut that contributes to toxin load and allergic or MCS responses, and temporary glyconutrients to ensure receptor site integrity so the immune response can maintain its correctness and focus. Glutathione precursors (cold-processed whey and selenium) works marvelously in an all-function stabilization push. I think this adquately addresses the cause in many cases except dficiency, which is only likely if the hyperactive kid is allowed to choose his own food. Hope this sheds some light on the possibilities. Duncan -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
