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), 30 pages.
This booklet is a
guide for families only wanting to cut down. If you intend to avoid salicylates
and amines strictly, please read more widely. 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 libraries and available at www.fedup.com.au.
- The DVD "Fed Up with Children's
Behaviour" -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.
