When we flew across the country to pick up Mary, the workers at her group home told us she suffered from headaches once or twice a week. Sure enough, she developed headaches in our home as well, with no discernible pattern. We administered Tylenol, but I think the night's sleep did more to relieve the pain. Once Mary was placed on the Feingold diet, her headaches disappeared. When I talked to her about this, she told me she often suffered in silence - didn't want to bother the workers at her group home or her new Mom and Dad. "I use to get a headache almost every day." she recalled. "I only complained about the big ones. Now they're (mostly) gone." It is amazing how many chronic conditions clear up when the human organism eats the food it was designed to eat.
NFF: We now know that Mary reacts to red#40 and MSG. These cause a migraine the next day - no fail. All the other additives are ok, even yellow#5 and blue#1. Human physiology is strange indeed.
