			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FDA Examines Food Dyes and Hyperactivity</p>
<p>The FDA has decided to examine the link between food dyes and hyperactivity in children. How can a government agency get so lost in an age where even automobiles have navigation devices to find a destination?</p>
<p>I sometimes wonder if any of the experts at the FDA are familiar with libraries. I first learned of the Feingold Diet in the seventies at the old Clendening library at KU Medical Center. Ben Feingold, M.D., became famous for a diet that eliminated food dyes and salicylates (aspirin like compounds). Results were mixed, suggesting that hyperactivity and other behaviors now categorized Hyperactive/Attention deficit, etc. are caused by more than just salicylate and food dye sensitivity. Nevertheless, many children and adults obtained relief with the diet. Medicine continued to pursue the One Cause/One Cure approach, and because the Feingold Diet didn&#8217;t fix everyone it was paid scant attention by the authorities.</p>
<p>My &#8216;hyperactive&#8217; patients received decent results when applying the diet and we still <a href="http://www.askdoctordavid.com/allergy-treatment/nutritional-assessment-treatment/">check for these sensitivities</a> with the <a href="http://www.askdoctordavid.com/allergy-treatment/">NAET protocol</a> and find they are often a culprit. </p>
<p>Ben Feingold can be googled successfully for more information. I wonder if the FDA has figured out how to google?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I never cease to be amazed at how the media chooses experts to quote who represent businesses whose best interests lie in bamboozeling the public concerning vaccines that still use toxic mercury and aluminum as preservatives.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The media is at it again. On January 10, 2011, the article of mention in the Kansas City Star was entitled <i>Study: Birth Spacing May Affect Autism</i>. It suggested that children born less than two years apart have a higher risk of autism. It also suggested that perhaps it was due to the depletion of the mothers nutrients by the first child. Dr. Bearman, the primary author, was &#8220;shocked&#8221; by the results. He wouldn&#8217;t have been if he&#8217;d been familiar with prior science. Additionally, his research takes the heat off vaccination as a major cause of autism. Now it&#8217;s the fault of families that don&#8217;t adequately space births. I wonder who paid for this junk research? Would you be surprised if it was a vaccine manufacturer?</p>
<p>I never cease to be amazed at how the media chooses experts to quote who represent businesses whose best interests lie in bamboozeling the public. Just a couple of weeks ago a major story in the Kansas City Star de-bunked the vaccination/autism connection, and especially the British research published in 1998 that validated the connection. One of the reasons given for the invalidation of that and numerous other papers regarding this issue was the questionable health of the children studied who appear to have become autistic after vaccination. What difference does it make? Are only healthy children vaccinated? Are all children thoroughly screened for familial health risks and carefully physically examined before each vaccination? Are the makers of the vaccines that still use toxic mercury and aluminum as preservatives looking out for themselves and their profit, or the children? Let&#8217;s take a quick look at the facts.</p>
<p>Do really healthy kids from healthy families get reactions to the vaccines? No they don&#8217;t, at least not immediately noticeable ones. Maybe decades down the road of life, increased mercury and/or aluminum body burden will contribute to poor academic performance, miscarriage, dementia or cancer. An increased body burden of both of these heavy metals has been implicated in those and a myriad of other terrible conditions, and we continue to load our environment with both. If we warn pregnant women not to eat fish in order to avoid poisoning the fetus with mercury, why is mercury safe when injected in much greater quantities in a vaccination? Simple, it&#8217;s good for business. Likewise, if aluminum intake is directly related to Alzheimers Dementia, and it is, why aren&#8217;t people who drink beer and other beverages from aluminum cans apprised of the risks? Same answer, it would be bad for business to tell the truth.</p>
<p>Children today are raised in an increasingly more toxic environment. They live in dwellings built from man made materials, and they all off-gas toxic fumes for months or years. These gases are heavy and settle to the floor, so even when most adults aren&#8217;t bothered, the kids are crawling around in an invisible cloud of toxic gas. Kids today have more colds, ear aches, allergies, and minor infections, and more severe diseases as well. Anyone with an education and a lick of sense realizes that. And it seems like every ten years or so we come up with another vaccination to poison them with.</p>
<p>More than fifty years ago, Roger Williams, Ph.D., of the Clayton Foundation of the University of Texas, published numerous studies on nutrition, health, and disease. In his lectures he was fond of telling the story of how mothers that he studied, who had large families, began having health problems after 2.3 children, and that from the third child on, each child had more and more health problems. He liked to kid about statistics, and how he had never really met a woman who had three tenths of a child, but his points were well made.</p>
<p>It takes genuine replacement parts to heal an unhealthy body. It takes genuine replacement parts to build a healthy human being. In this country, most people eat from packages and cans. <b>Manufactured foods do not contain natural, healthy, genuine replacement parts</b>, and since the advent of manufactured foods we have become a nation of unhealthy people. The literature tells us that it has definitely affected morbidity (quality of life), and now for the first time the literature tells us that it is starting to affect mortality&hellip; for instance, this is the first generation that is not expected to live as long as the previous generation.</p>
<p>Have you been in a maternity ward lately and observed the general health of the expectant mothers? Does it take science fifty years to read its own literature, observe the situation and figure it out? Have you seen what hospitals feed their patients? It&#8217;s a travesty. For Heaven&#8217;s sake, there&#8217;s a McDonalds at Truman Medical Center in downtown Kansas City. What does that say about the mentality of the local medical community? Does it actually suggest that medical authorities think McDonalds fast food provides genuine replacement parts?</p>
<p>Vaccinations are contributing to autism. Any parent who has watched a behaviorally normal child slide into autistic behavior after a vaccination knows that. I have had too many parents relate that story to me in my practice, and my patients&#8217; parents are capable and caring observers.</p>
<p><b>Facts:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>family health in our country has declined;</li>
<li>children are being given ever increasing numbers of vaccinations preserved with toxic heavy metals (aluminum and mercury);</li>
<li>children with poor health histories, colds, etc., are being vaccinated without being appropriately screened as a high risk;</li>
<li>the medical/pharmaceutical industrial complex is protecting its reputation and profits; and</li>
<li>the media has fallen in line as usual.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a 36 year old male that has suffered from health problems from infancy. I was a colicky baby who was often sick as a toddler. I was taken to the hospital many times before the age of seven with pneumonia and was constantly ill with everything from chest colds to asthma. By ten years old I had been diagnosed with multiple food and environmental allergies, and it was discovered that my sickness over the holidays was due to a severe allergy to pine trees.<br />
<span id="more-140"></span><br />
I was tested for all kinds of learning disabilities and was diagnosed as ADD as well as ADHD. My mother took all the doctor&#8217;s recommendations on medications for treating illnesses like cold medicine and antibiotics. I had a mouth full of cavities by age 10 due to the amount of cold medicine I would take before I went to bed. I now know these substances only made my problems worse.</p>
<p>In high school I began to suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but seemed to have gotten over my food allergies. I was a relatively normal young man except for the fact that I was always sick and a cold or cough would last for months. I also continued to struggle with all subjects in school.</p>
<p>Things began to get worse in my 20&#8242;s when I just felt worse and worse every year. By the time I was 29, I was suffering from terrible pain in all my muscles and joints. I had chronic fatigue, depression, severe TMJ (jaw pain). By this time I was spending 500 to 1000 dollars per month on chiropractic, massage, colon treatments, supplements, and cranial sacral work just to survive.</p>
<p>At 29 I was told I was allergic to gluten and that I would start to feel better if I took this out of my diet. I did and only felt slightly better, so I began to take other things out of my diet. For the next 5 years I lost 40 pounds and lived on mostly veggies and turkey. Unfortunately I still felt like death warmed over and was still spending huge sums of money on natural remedies that only enabled me to survive.</p>
<p>Eight months ago I began to see Dr. David and it turns out I was allergic to about 95% of what I was eating including the turkey and veggies. In addition to foods, I had major environmental and seasonal allergies. In addition to these Dr. David has cleared me of allergies to things like soap, shampoo, shaving cream, marker, pencil, fabric softener, detergent, dry erase marker, chalk, oils, perfumes, and air fresheners, just to name a few. I was reacting to everything I was coming in contact with.</p>
<p>Since seeing Dr. David, I have been eating normally and gaining weight. I am spending 1/10th of the money on chiropractic and other treatments and I feel far better than I have in years. I do not suffer from chronic fatigue and my joints and muscles feel better every week. The NAET treatment was a God send for me and I know it is responsible for allowing me to live a normal life for the first time in 20 years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It sometimes takes decades to assess the drugs that are given to so many so cavalierly. Recently the side effects of the ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) drugs were studied, and the results were something less than positive, especially since the majority of these drugs are prescribed for children.<br />
<span id="more-253"></span><br />
Scientists at the Center for Disease Control determined that these stimulant drugs result in over 3100 ER visits a year. Side effects that include potential cardiac problems like chest pain, stroke, high blood pressure, and rapid heart rate have caused some doctors to suggest the drugs be sold only with the most serious warning on the package inserts of Ritilin, Concerta, and Adderall. Apparently around 3.3 million, that&#8217;s 3,3000,000, citizens under the age of 19 take these medications.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.askdoctordavid.com/allergy-treatment/" title="Allergy Treatment">NAET Allergy Treatment</a> and dietary lifestyle changes are a better way to control most cases of ADHD. If you have family members on ADHD medications, have them call me during my <a href="http://www.askdoctordavid.com/about/contact/" title="Health Help Hotline">Health Help Hotline &#8212; Ask the Doctor</a> hours for a free phone consultation/new patient screening. At worst, it may save a life or a trip to the ER. </p>
