Failsafe
booklet
The Failsafe Booklet, intended as a support and
companion to the DVD “Fed Up with Children’s Behaviour”, is available here as a
free downloadable pdf file (250Kb), 28 pages.
The Failsafe Booklet is intended for parents who would
like to reduce additives or try a 3 week additive-free diet for children with
behaviour problems. For symptoms severe enough to see a doctor, or conditions
with a diagnosis such as ADHD, we recommend a three week trial of the RPAH
(Royal Prince Alfred Hospital) elimination diet - free of additives, low in
salicylates and amines, dairy free and/or gluten free if indicated - to find
out exactly which food chemicals are contributing to problems. In our
experience, this is the most effective elimination diet in the world.
For more information:
- The revised edition of Fed
Up (2008) is now in bookstores and should be in libraries soon.
- The DVD "Fed Up with
Children's Behaviour" (see home page). This is what one man
wrote:
"I've watched your fantastic DVD three times
since receiving it. It has made me go back to the drawing board,
I think I missed salicylates earlier. You might want to reconsider the title
"Fed up with Children’s Behaviour", it is not just about children I
feel, and it is not just about behaviour either. It goes much further. Many
people who are not concerned about children's behaviour could still benefit in
a big way from the DVD. Perhaps consider "Your Food, Your Health, Your
Relationships & Your wellbeing: YOUR LIFE!!!" or something similar.
Although the focus in this DVD was on children, but many a time adults are
shown to benefit as well."
- The Failsafe Cookbook (revised edition 2007) from your library or bookstore. It's not
just a recipe book - there's heaps of information about food intolerance
as well, and a step by step guide about how to do the elimination diet.
- Write for our list of supportive dietitians
to confoodnet@ozemail.com.au.
Most people only need one or two visits to a dietitian
plus some phone or email backup. Dietitians say
it cuts an hour off consultation time needed if people have read Fed Up before they go.
- Friendly Food by researchers from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Allergy Unit,
available from libraries, bookstores and http://www.cs.nsw.gov.au/rpa/Allergy/default.htm.
Firendly Food has excellent colour-coded
salicylate and amine charts, but in our experience, very few families
succeed with Friendly Food alone. One failsafer
wrote: 'Thank you for writing your fantastic "Failsafe
Cookbook". We have been using it for a while and have recently gotten
"Friendly Foods" as well and as good as it is for a lot of
stuff, I'm SO grateful for the simple, family friendly recipes in your
book.
