A dad tells how a diet change reversed son's ADHD symptoms.
8/24/2009
In 2004 my son was diagnosed as ADHD (‘Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder’ - Webster), a neurobehavioral developmental disorder. It is one of the most common mental disorders that develop in children. Children with ADHD have impaired functioning in multiple settings, including home, school, and in relationships with peers. Not knowing what to do to help him we turned to and trusted our medical doctor. During the years from 2004 through 2006 I have to admit, I would from time to time become angry with God for not giving us a healthy child. I would also from time to time ask God questions like ‘Why are you doing this to us, I can’t handle this.’ Or ‘What am I to do now?’ I am so thankful today that I never gave up on my faith, despite the struggles. The drugs the doctor prescribed for my son caused him to slowly become angry and depressed with a flat personality, unlike his behavior prior to his taking the drugs. He also began to get into trouble at school as well as at home. I continued to ask God “Why?” as this was not the life I wanted for our family and yet my prayers continued to go unanswered. However, even though my prayers went unanswered, I remained faithful and did my best to follow God, trusting he would eventually provide help for my son. Then in August 2007, while in a local Christian bookstore I spotted a book titled ‘Stop ADHD in 18 Days.’ Amazingly, I didn’t purchase it because my doctor had told me that the only way to treat ADHD was with drugs. However, after I got home that book title so bothered me I went back to the store and purchased the book. The book said a change in diet could help my son. Figuring a change in diet could not hurt my son; we began to change what he ate. This was the first sign that God was answering my prayers for my sons healing. Finally, God led us to The Hallelujah Acres Diet, when my doctor encouraged us to adopt it. At first I put it off because it sounded too radical, but finally in January 2008, the Hallelujah Diet became our family’s diet. To make a long story short, since making the diet change, my son is now drug free. He isn’t totally healed as yet, but he is so much healthier and happier, and he even knows that the food he eats plays a powerful role in his behavior.
