OT - ADHD book

[Guest guest]

Hi Linda,

 

You might want to write to Dr. T. Colin Campbell (tcc1). I

heard him speak in Philadelphia last Friday and he mentioned that

there is a strong connection between ADHD and dairy products.

 

This leads me to believe that the first attempt at fighting ADHD is to

eliminate all dairy products, then try other means if it doesn't work.

I am hoping to read more on this subject.
