  • Title: The management of hyperkinetic children: a trial of dietary therapy.
    Author: Hindle RC, Priest J.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1978 Jul 26; 88(616):43-5. PubMed ID: 279852.
    Abstract:
    The standard techniques in the management of hyperkinetic children are not uniformly successful. Recently, there has been considerable interest in dietary therapy. The diet, low in artificial colours, and flavours and in naturally occurring salicylates has been adapted for use in New Zealand. Ten hyperkinetic children have been treated with the diet, five of whom improved dramatically and are now off all other therapy. Their response to accidental and deliberate challenge supports the hypothesis that the dietary regime described has been responsible for their improvement.
