  <h3><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Bipolar Kids Need Nutrition, Not Junk Food
  and More Drugs<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>(OMNS, October 16, 2008) The NY Times
  Magazine's cover story, &quot;The Bipolar Kid&quot; (September 14, 2008), is
  a very bleak article. While emphasizing the miseries of living with such a
  child, Jennifer Egan's article offers little hope except for ever-increasing
  doses of lithium. Long on discussions of definitions and diagnoses, it is
  remarkably short on treatment alternatives. Not a word about diet. Not a word
  about vitamins. Indeed, in this 9,500 word feature, describing the daily life
  of an out-of-control, beyond-ADHD boy, the word &quot;nutrition&quot; is not
  mentioned at all. Neither <span class=GramE>are</span> the words
  &quot;sugar&quot; or &quot;caffeine.&quot; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>What astounding omissions. Pediatrician
  Lendon H. Smith, M.D., nationally famous as &quot;The Children's
  Doctor,&quot; was very plain in stating that sugar causes profound mood
  disorders. He specifically advised parents to give their children a
  &quot;sugarless diet without processed foods.&quot; (1) It is not easy. The
  Center for Science in the Public Interest has reported that children between
  the ages of six and eleven drink nearly a pint of soda pop a day. 20% of
  toddlers drink soda pop, nearly a cup daily. (2) And, of the seven best
  selling soft drinks, six have caffeine in them. In sensitive persons,
  caffeine can cause psychotic behavior. (3) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Food colorings and benzoate preservatives
  increase childhood hyperactivity, according to research published in Archives
  of Disease in Childhood, June 2004. (4) The study, involving 277 preschool
  children, also demonstrated that withdrawing these chemical additives
  decreased hyperactivity. When additives were reintroduced, there was once
  again an increase in hyperactivity. &quot;Additives do have an effect on
  overactive behavior independent of baseline allergic and behavioral
  status,&quot; said lead author Dr. J.O. Warner. So many parents, and any of
  us who have taught school the day after Halloween, can verify this. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>It is possible that the children profiled
  in the NY Times story are unusual in that they do not consume any sugar, or
  any artificial food colorings, or any benzoate preservatives, or any
  caffeine-laced soft drinks. But it is much more likely that they do. The
  article ignored these important factors even though health professionals are
  increasingly aware that the normal functioning of the brain and nervous
  system is nutrient-dependent and additive sensitive. Ian <span class=SpellE>Brighthope</span>,
  M.D., says, &quot;What is going on in the mind can be influenced by the
  nutrients and chemicals going into it. You can't get anywhere with a patient
  with psychiatric symptomatology if their brain is hungry, starved, or
  poisoned.&quot; (5) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Yet in the entire Times article, the words
  &quot;allergy&quot; and &quot;junk food&quot; are not mentioned, not even
  once. Children's learning and behavior problems often begin in their parents'
  grocery carts. Allergist Benjamin Feingold, M.D., was convinced of the
  negative effect of food chemicals on children's behavior and the role of good
  nutrition in treatment. (6) Says the Feingold Association: &quot;Numerous
  studies show that certain synthetic food additives can have serious learning,
  behavior, and/or health effects for sensitive people.&quot; (7) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Another word totally absent from the Times
  article is &quot;vitamin.&quot; Psychiatrist Abram Hoffer, M.D., has had
  decades of experience and considerable success treating children's behavioral
  disorders with vitamins. High doses of vitamin B-3 (niacin, or niacinamide)
  were first used by Hoffer and colleague Dr. Humphrey Osmond in the early
  1950s. The trials were double-blind and placebo controlled. Over half a
  century later, vitamin therapy has still been largely ignored by the
  psychiatric profession, and, evidently, by some newspapers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>What a loss to patients and their families.
  I know and personally observed a preadolescent who was having serious
  behavioral problems in school and at home. Interestingly enough, the child
  had already been taking physician-prescribed little bits of niacin, though
  totaling less than 150 mg/day, but evidently it wasn't enough to be
  effective. When tried, drugs (especially <span class=SpellE>Adderall</span>)
  actually made him worse: far <span class=GramE>more angry</span> and dangerously
  confrontational. I was present when his parents had to hold him down while he
  screamed death threats at them. In desperation, his mother finally tried
  giving him 500 mg of niacin, three times daily (1,500 mg total). There was
  some improvement. With about 500 mg every two hours (an astounding
  6,000-8,000 mg/day), the boy was a new person. He was now a cheerful,
  cooperative, affectionate youngster. Adding vitamin C and B-6 to his regimen
  helped even more. His school performance soared, the teachers loved him, and
  they repeatedly said so. At age 15, his maintenance dose was about 3,000
  mg/day. He has since graduated from high school and is successfully employed.
  This is exactly in line with what Dr. Hoffer has repeatedly demonstrated for
  over 50 years. (8) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>People often ask, &quot;If this treatment
  is so good, how come my doctor doesn't know about it? How come it is not in
  the newspaper?&quot; Those are good questions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>The NY Times should know that reporting one
  side is not good reporting. To tell the whole story, we need nutrition. So do
  bipolar children. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
