I am a Teacher's Assistant and have been for 30 years. I also have an allergic son who is now 33 yrs old and has grown out of his allergies. However, as a young child, he would get hyper and uncontrolable and then would have a down period. At times I wondered if he autism or something. Then I found out about Dr.David Morris in LaCross, WI. He is an allergist that treats with sublingual drops. <BR/>He tested my son for foods and found out that he was allergic to sugar, food coloring, wheat, milk, rye, etc. When he gave a few drops of the offending to my son, he would react immediately by getting out of control, then, one drop to counteract brought him back to normal. He prescribed drops which we gave him sublingually daily. As he got better, the drops got weaker and eventually he didn't have to take them at all. The fact that this treatment transformed his behavior was astonishing. My parents and I and later my youngest son took the drops for allergies also. My parents' dentist confided in them that their son was out of bounds and they could do nothing to help him and my folks sent them to Allergy Assoc., also. They reported the same results. If you were to contact Dr. Morris I think you may be able to change the lives of some students by reporting on this. You can reache him at:Allergy Associates of La Crosse, Ltd. Just google him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
