My son,Ross
I rememberwhen I first l<newthat Rosswas different from my other sons.who were 14 and
19 whenhe wasbom.
children.
By the time Ross was six and
went to kindergarten I had already
had him evaluatedby a neurologist
who said he was ADHD. In
November of that year he was
expelled for running aiound the
classroom and hiting everyone on
the head. In February, after a
special ed evaluation and a court
order to get him back in school, he
was placed in a private school for
multiply disabledchildren. He was
restrainedby the staff severaltimes
a month due to his rages. As Ross
got older I beganto worry about his
future. He was big for his age,
very strong, had no impulsecontol,
and was unable to calm himself. I
was afraid he'd end up in jail for
hurting or killing someone.
Rosswas a biter until he was four
years old, and he hit and kicked
when he was angry. He bangedand
crashed into
everything and
everyone,knocking over tlte daycare
worker more than once. He would
run back and forth, ftom the kitchen
sink (bang into the cabinets) to the
couch (bang into the couch), back
and forth for hours. My son raged
when things didn't go the way he
wanted. I could not take him
shoppingor to church or to anything
wherehe had to sit, as his behavior
was so unmanageable,and I had to
resuain him more times than I care
to remember.
I did see a relationship with his
behaviorand food, but I just didn't
understand it. I remember one
Thanksgiving grving him red gelatin
jigglers, and he went from calm (for
him!) to ballistic, to a screaming,
crying mess writhing on the floor.
Another time I gave him chocolate
cream-filled cookies, and he just ran
and ran and ran around, that same
maniacalgrin.on his face.
I knew a little aboutFeingold, as
my sister-inJaw had used it for
about a year before she gave up.
But this was years ago when all she
had was Dr. Feingold's original
book and she was not aware of the
Feingold Association and all the
materials and help available. She
had read labels and cooked many
things from scratch, and now I was
single and working and didn't think
I could do it.
e was about 6-months-old,
lying on his back on a
blanket, pulling the blanket down
over his eyes and up again to play
peek-a-boo. He got so extremely
excited - his limbs sticking staight
out, trembling with excitement, his
eyes opened wide, and a maniacal
grin on his face. I looked at him
and said to myself, "Oh no, I'm in
trouble!"
My sister nicknamed him the
White Tornado becauseof his very
pale skin and the wake of
destruction he left in his path. The
only reasonhe wasn't expelled from
daycare is because they were
founded to help special needs
2 hrre Fac'ts/,9eztetnber

But by the time Ross was '7 Ll2 |
was ready to try AIIYTHING to
help, except meds. I had researched
the meds used for ADHD and was
aftaid of the common side effects.
We had reached'tle point where
notling was helping him. Not the
behavior modification at his school,
not the counselingwe attended,and
not the consistent,loving discipline I
fied to administerat home.
So I joined the Feingold
Association and began the Program.
By eight weeks I noticed a
difference in his behavior, even
though I wasn't following StageOne
completely. After a few months I
started thinking he was just
outgrowing his bad behavior, so I
slackedoff. I quickly realizedI was
wrong, finally went to the menber's
bulletin board for help, and began
100%StageOne.
Within four week I was seeinga
calmer child.
Ross started the
program with 47 of the checklist
symptoms and after three years it
was down to 14 and is now 12. I
think because he was so severely
ADHD it has been a slow healing
process, but we are both pleased
with the results.
Our lives are so different now.
Ross is a pleasant, kind, compassionate,loving and helpful 11
year-old child. He is still very
active, but I don't consider that a
disorderso I'm not worried aboutit.
He is imaginative and creative and
has insight into human natwe
beyondhis years. I am so proud of
him.
He wan6 to be a movie
director/producer/writer. I see a
good future for him now and
Feingold was the key to unlocking
my son's potential.

As far as cost is concerned,studentsare already spendingtoo much
for the food that is being served in their school cafeterias. Only a fraction
of the cost of junk food goes toward paying for what little "food" is
acurally used; most of dle expenseis in processing,packaging,promoting
and (of course) profits. The school systemthen faces enormouscosts in
providing specialservicesfor children whose poor diet results in behavior
and learning problems. Finally, everyonepays the cost of bad health.
