Synopsis
Every day, children are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD)
or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They are given
powerful drugs like Ritalin in order to cope with their ADD, but many
parents don’t realize the dangerous side effects associated with these
drugs, particularly the possibility of dependency. Addressing the causes
of ADD and ADHD should be the first step in any treatment, but
unfortunately, conventional drug therapies treat only the symptoms, not
the causes.
In their new book, The A.D.D. & A.D.H.D. Diet!, authors Rachel Bell and
Dr. Howard Peiper take a uniquely nutritional approach to treating ADD
and ADHD. The authors first address the root causes of the disorders,
from poor nutrition and food allergies to environmental contaminants.
They discuss which foods your child can eat and which foods he should
avoid. To make changing your child’s diet easier, the authors also offer
you their very own healthy and delicious recipes. Final chapters
examine the importance of detoxifying the body, supplementing diet
with vitamins and nutrients, and exercising regularly in order to achieve
good health.
Managing your child’s ADD doesn’t have to be a chore. With The A.D.D.
& A.D.H.D. Diet!, you can learn how a simple change in diet may be the
most effective treatment for your child.
Rachel Bell has worked with children and adolescents in varying capacities for twenty years. She has collaborated with Dr. Howard Peiper and Nina Anderson on the well-known booklet, ADD: The Natural Approach. Rachel is currently a teacher in California, and has been schooled in macrobiotic cooking at the Kushi Institute. Howard Peiper, ND is a doctor of naturopathic medicine. While beginning his career in optometry, he was immediately drawn to the field of alternative health. In 1972, he received his degree in Naturopathy. After a decade in private practice, Dr. Peiper moved on to become a successful consultant, speaker, and writer. Over the years, his cutting-edge articles have appeared in numerous medical journals and magazines. He also serves on the medical advisory board for several nutritional companies. Dr. Peiper has written several bestselling titles including The ADD & ADHD Diet! and New Hope for Serious Diseases. He is a frequent guest speaker on radio and television and has hosted his own shows including the award-winning TV show, Partners in Healing.
