Perhaps there is not a lot of research on how homepathy can help food sensitivities - I would enlist the aid of a Naturopath in this case. Naturopath's obtain a four year medical degree and if you can find one with additional studies in nutrition, he/she would have the answers of how to incorporate homepathy with food sensitivities and the resulting ADD/ADHD. You'll be happy to know, however, that there is research out there already concerning food sensitivities and ADD/ADHD. PubMed is an excellent way to search for scholarly articles on things like this and I came up with at least one very interesting article from the 80s, believe it or not, on controlling the symptoms through dietary means. Sadly, much of the recent literature shows a lot of work being done centered around the drugs available instead of how to holistically approach the problem. > I have a theory as to the cause of ADHD, ADD, and > other conditions with a variety of symptoms that we > treat, without knowing the cause. > Many of the children with ADHD/ADD have been tested > and shown to have food "sensitivies".
