Gluten Free/Sugar Free Diet Can Help a Child with ADHD

Child in trouble in school for bad behavior whose mom did not want stimulant medication for son is greatly improved on gluten free/sugar free diet.

Comments from the NEUROLOGIST, 

A 9-year-old boy, who has ADHD and was overweight, came to my office. He was in trouble in school for bad and interruptive behavior. He was not staying in his seat and was pushing things off the desk of the boy sitting next to him.

While in my office he was playing with some of my instruments and would not stop when asked to do so. His mom did not want him put on any stimulant medications. I put the boy on a gluten free/sugar free diet.

In two months he returned to my office and was 99 percent improved. He was losing weight and kids were not picking on him at school. His behavior both at home and at school was greatly improved. So much that his teachers commented on it.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
