I am currently reading Daniel Amen and I find his openmindedness about treatment amazing. It is almost spooky because before I even read/heard of him I had kind of figured a lot of this out on my own. I have to pat myself on the back; I learned long ago about food colorings. I can't ignore what aerobic exercise is doing for him. I never put him in therapy because I felt he didn't need it and it would make him feel bad. By Amens standard, he doesn't seem to need it.
The only thing I had completely wrong (so far, I'm still reading) was the protiens vs. carbs. I hadn't realized my families high carb, low protien diet could be an issue. So, today I'm off to the store for what few meats he will eat (fish, chicken, keilbasi) and things like whole grain cereal and beans. Getting him to eat proteins will be hard enough. Keeping him away from carbs will be a huge undertaking. Has anyone ever used protein shakes? Are they approved for kids? Are they yucky?
