I want to log the first few days of my seven year old son Ethan's diet. Ethan has been diagnosed with ADHD, and for those parents that do not have an ADHD child you have no idea how challenging it can really be. I want to give thanks to God and the wonderful, caring teachers at Avoca Elementary school. I did not want to just put Ethan on some medication to take him down a notch, I wanted to make sure we were doing everything we could as a family to ensure Ethan was healthy and happy not medicated. So after searching for awhile I finally came across this diet that eliminates all the artificial colors and flavors and also eliminates all preservatives from foods. We have been shopping and it is really easy to find good tasting foods. My husband and I are also on the diet as well. It really is simple when you think about it. Why would anyone want to put that stuff in their system anyway. I found out that the color dyes in food are made from crude oil! And vanillin found in artificially flavored foods is made from pulp from paper mills! No wonder there is so much disease and cancer in the world if we are all consuming this stuff.
Ethan has been on the diet a full week and I can honestly say that I can see a huge difference. He is calmer, happier and easier to get out of bed in the mornings. He got a shout out from his teacher at school yesterday for being so good all week! I am so proud of him. Anything that helps him be the child I know he wanted to be is great.
I am going to be posting everyday to try and document his journey. Please say prayers for us.
