Dr. Doris Rapp, author of "Is This Your Child's World", discusses and documents the effects of food and environmental allergies in children. The show has footage of dramatic behavioral changes in children due to allergic reactions.
Ninety-nine percent of doctors in the U.S. today will diagnose food and environmental allergies in children as "ADHD" and give the child medication that could futher damage neurological and immune system pathways. The information given on this show was available twenty years ago. How many children have been branded with the label "ADHD", taught to believe it, and disempowered for the rest of their lives? How much profit have drug companies made on the sale of "ADHD" drugs?
Behavioral changes due to allergies are not limited to children. Harmful environmental factors can also affect how adults feel, think and act.
It is also key to note the return to normal weight in one overweight child featured on this show once he was treated for environmental allergies. Countless other people - children and adults - have discovered weight problems disappear when they begin to treat environmental allergies. How many parents - because they are educated as such by billboards, etc. - think fast food and over-eating are to blame for their child's weight problem?
