Hyperactive children 'chemically abused' "They don't want to be on drugs or in special classes. They are not of low intelli- gence. They are chemically abused". These are the findings of Dr. Ben F. Feingold and his Association which is helping hundreds of families in this country who have been enduring the suffering of hyperactive children with their learning disabilities. Mrs. Mary Myslik and Mrs. Lynn Davidson, both of Bay Ridges, were the guest speakers at the March meeting of the Early Child- hood Education Association, held at Maple Grove United Church. Vice President, Barbara Catto, Ajax, intro- duced the guests who are the leaders of the Durham Feingold Association in Pickering. 'Say of him what you will, when you speak of my child. I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my child," said Mrs. Myslik who is the mother of a hyperactive child. In outlining the symptoms of such a child she listed the following: 1. Marked activity - very fidgety with constant motion. 2. Compulsive aggression - touching everything - not easily distracted. 3. Very impulsive - un- predictable - not aware of danger. 4. Low tolerance for frus- tration. 5. Poor co-ordination - very clumsy - trouble with dressing, ete. 6. Poor sleep habits - very difficult to get to sleep - can't sleep long. 7.wea Poor behaviour - appears spoiled. 8. Very often above average intelligence. 9. Unable to cope in a group. 10.

"A child may show any or all of these symptoms and in any combination, which provides for him and his parents sufficient reasons for the child to become a social outcast," she said. "Many worried parents resort to the use of various medication which, in reality, only mask the problems," said Mrs. Davidson, who also has a hyperactive child. "Ritalin and like products create a charming lovable child, for a few weeks and then later, sometimes, he explodes and returns to the old symptoms, in spite of variations in dosages. Some times the drugs cause real depression which, like the original problem, still does not make him a happy, func- tioning person," she com- mented. "After much frustration and with the help of the Feingold experiments, many parents are led to the use of Pure Foods which, of course, contain no synthetic colours, flavourings nor preserva- tives. Surprisingly, these dietary restrictions have resulted, very often, in calmer children who are then able to cope with family, friends, school and a decent social life," said Mrs. Davidson. Mrs. Myslik recommen- ded. to the 42 teachers and parents present, the excel lent book by Stevens, Stevens & Stoner - "How to Feed Your Hyperactive Child", published by Double- day. "It has been my guide." said Mrs. Myslik, "with the exception of Appendix B, which just isn't applicable here in Canada." However, she warned parents to be constantly on the alert to hidden additives which can trigger severe reactions even in the ap- parently controlled child.
