Hello
everyone
This has been a
particularly busy term for me. In April/May I spent five fascinating weeks in
the Indian Himalayas, researching the introduction of food additives into
subsistence villages. Within days of my return home, I was involved in filming
two segments with A Current Affair, as seen by many of you. I wish you could
have been there for the entire second session, it was such an eye-opener.
Michael, the asthmatic whose peak flow reading decreased by 10% within half an
hour after eating colours and sulphites, commented afterwards “If they asked me
now to run around the block, I’d have an asthma attack”. This is what I have
been saying for years. Most asthmatics expect they will notice an effect of
food additives but what they get is irritable airways with no obvious symptoms.
Then when exposed to an external trigger such as a cold or exercise, they get
asthma and blame the trigger. Remove the food additives and they can be exposed
to the trigger without reaction, as you can see from the asthma stories in this
issue. Anne’s kids were also a perfect demonstration that the type of
overreaction to food additives depends on what is happening: in a free play
situation outside, they were so out-of-control that the camera man was quite
alarmed. Inside, while they were playing with new Star Wars toys, they were
good, but if someone took the part they wanted, they overreacted. When they
were tired they became whiny, demanding and, if asked to do something, defiant.

Asthma and benzoate
preservatives
A few years
ago, we reported the case of the little French girl who took continuous asthma
medication from the age of 12 months of age for the next six years by which time
she was suffering severe asthma episodes approximately once a month.
Eventually, additive challenges revealed she was sensitive to benzoate
preservative (211) in her asthma medication and some foods and when she avoided
benzoates she became asthma free. (Petrus
M and others, Asthma et benzoate intolerance, Arch Pediatr. 1996;3(10):984-7.)
Last year, another article was published reporting the lack of recognition of
benzoate-related asthma. (Balatsinou and others, Asthma worsened by
benzoate contained in some antiasthmatic drugs. Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol.
2004;17(2):225-6.) In

Now targetting… |
This new section
is for the growing number of people who ask “Can I do anything to help?” These
people phone food company hotlines and write letters to politicians and food
companies. Judging by the bread preservative reversal, this strategy works. We
have agreed to team up with Western Australian-based www.additivealert.com.au to target
a different additive in each newsletter.
We want to continue
the pressure on ANNATTO
(160b) since
there is evidence that your efforts are having an effect. An informal
supermarket survey recently found that many manufacturers have recently changed
to 160a or 160e, both of which are failsafe. 160b is probably the most
widely used colour in our food supply.
In 1978 a study showed it affected more people than artificial colours,
and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Allergy Unit research has linked it to a wide
range of reactions. It is used in dairy foods such as yoghurts, icecreams and
flavoured milks, biscuits, cereals, crumbed products such as fish fingers and
now in Birds Eye Li’l Fishies. We would be grateful if you could ring hotlines
or write to send the message: we don’t like annatto 160b. It affects our kids.
We would prefer the use of 160a (beta carotene) as in

[376] One liners (July 2005)
Your work has changed my
son’s life – I know you probably hear it from everyone, but please keep doing
what you're doing, it's such important work, and the fruits of your labor are
starting to pay off!
I saw you on A Current
Affair last week and started my son on failsafe foods on Monday -the
transformation is amazing - he is so calm!
Going to the supermarket
feels good - 'no, nothing in this aisle'... and saving at the checkout - you didn't
mention that the failsafe diet was also cheap! I think it is the simplicity
that I like most, everything used to be over the top and out of control.
I was searching the internet
for bad behaviour when your report came up and every single symptom you listed
described my daughter - I immediately cut 282 out of her diet and the
difference in her was almost instant - I am sure that if I hadn't come across
this, the doctors would have labelled her ADHD and I would be none the wiser.
My son’s eczema started when
we introduced solids – having started reading your book I can see all kinds of
foods he currently eats which may be causing a reaction so we’re about to try
the elimination diet.
After seven weeks on the
failsafe diet, we are much improved - I feel great, my 7 year old no longer
wets the bed or has accidents, my 9 year old is no longer depressed and I can
actually read his hand writing!!!
My son is the original
sticky-pooh boy since introduction of solids and I have never understood why
until now so thank you.
I have taken my son to
psychologists, school counsellors, child nurse, hearing and ENT specialists,
optometrists, etc, been through the ‘why is our son the naughtiest and roughest
in school?’, ‘why is our son so defiant and angry?’ then I saw A Current Affair
and followed the link to your site - bought the book the next day, read it,
totally gobsmacked that there was a name for my son's behaviour, glad it wasn't
ADD, and now am compiling my shopping list to try and start a new eating habit
for him. Maybe I won't have to sell him after all!
We have been on the failsafe
diet for nearly three and have had excellent results for the whole family - I
have had no pre-menstrual migraines, my 18 month old’s eczema all but
disappeared and my three year old's behaviour has changed dramatically.
[375] Sick and tired of asthma (July 2005)
I purchased your book
earlier this year as I was well and truly sick of asthma and many other health
problems like chronic sinus and hayfever, period problems, varied stomach
problems and lethargy. I found out that I am intolerant to gluten, salicylates,
amines, preservatives and some other additives. I want to thank you so much for
your book - it has changed my life. I am not fully better but I can now breathe
and have so much energy, no stomach troubles, minimal hayfever and I haven't
been sick since I started the diet. I just wish doctors would tell their
patients about trying different diets to help asthma - I could have done with
knowing years ago! - Rosemaree Skelton.
[374] A word from Jack (July 2005)
My 8 yr old son Jack, who is
the failsafer in our house, watched you on a Current Affair on Monday night
He said, “Is that the lady
whose food I eat? The one that wrote the book?"
I told him yes, that's her,
why?
He answered, “I’d like to
met her!'
"Why?" I asked.
"To thank her for
helping me".
It bought a tear to my eye.
I said I'd let you know. It's great to know that the hard work, consistency and
the occasional battles have been won and he now acknowledges the change himself.
So thank you Sue from Jack and the rest of the family.
[373] No significant asthma in 10 months (July
2005)
I bought a copy of "Fed
Up With Asthma" about 10 months ago. Since then I have been avoiding the
food additives highlighted on your card and have had no significant asthma.
You argument seems to fit in
perfectly with my history. I grew up in
I moved to
On returning to

to hear an expert on asthma and allergies on Radio New
[372] Fifteen minutes later the paed prescribes
Ritalin – I was furious (July 2005)
My seven year old so has
been having behaviour problems since he started school. Earlier this year a child psychologist
assessed him with a very high performance IQ but a much lower verbal IQ, so
obviously there are learning difficulties although because of his high IQ these
have not become apparent yet although there are some signs such as very poor
spelling yet an excellent reader.
After some very long and
exasperating conversations with the teacher and principal, I took Josh and his
reports off to his paediatrician for help. The report explained that Josh
doesn’t have ADHD but does display ADHD behaviour. Fifteen minutes later the
paed prescribes Ritalin, a six week trial each school day, then see how we go!
I am absolutely, to the core, dead set against this medication. In my heart of
hearts I couldn’t give it to him. I was furious with the paed and decided to
see our GP for further choices.
Next day, I spent one hour
in the room with GP. I explained my feelings toward medication for what I truly
believe is unnecessary for him and asked about diet. Same answer: six weeks
Ritalin then take it from there.
Well, the day before this I
came across your book Fed Up with ADHD at our local Big W. At the time I
thought "interesting" but let’s see what the doctors say. Well,
needless to say that evening after two doctors, and two "not happy with that”
solutions, I called my husband and asked him to pick it up on the way home and
read it in three days. But first thing next day skipped to the diet section and
immediately introduced our family to failsafe foods.
We have been all five on the
diet for the last twelve days and all five of us are seeing/feeling results.
Some I didn’t even realise how bad they were pre failsafe. But -Joshua’s
behaviour has improved so much! He is more compliant at school. He is getting
his school work done with far less opposition. The changes in him are
definitely due to the diet. The general disposition of everyone in the house is
much calmer. It is actually OK for all of us to go out in public and not be
constantly at the boys to calm down, behave, and stop fighting. I discovered
that Josh can actually sit at the table and eat dinner like the rest of the
human race, not with head, feet, knees anything but his bottom, on the chair. I
have to agree with one case in "Fed Up" that I am spending an awful
lot of time in the kitchen, but the kids are really adapting well to the food
even the nightly meal. They are eating stuff they wouldn’t have touched before,
even thought they were on very healthy limited processed foods. I just wanted
to tell you that your books have been a light at the end of a very long windy
tunnel and that your thoughts in the book give us hope that our square peg may
not have to be shoved in the round hole after all. Thanks you again so much. - by email
[371] A reaction to instant noodles as seen by a
psychologist (July 2005)
I am a psychologist working
with families who require help with their children’s behaviour. I have done a number
of home visits with a particular family where the mother is honestly as close
to the "perfect parent" as you will ever get. There is nothing I can
offer her as a psych in terms of behaviour management, as she is doing
everything exactly as I'd recommend. The child I am seeing is four and has
Asperger's. His sister, who mum thinks is harder to cope with because she is
more unpredictable, is
[370] Asthma and benzoates in medication (July
2005)
After hearing about sodium
benzoate in asthma medication at your presentation recently I was a bit
shocked, and sure enough it was there in my son’s medication - standard
Ventolin Sugar Free Oral Liquid used for under fives. I talked to my GP about
my son’s asthma and that the preservative that can cause asthma was in the
medication and he was extremely shocked.
My son had suddenly
developed asthma when he was two months old, just after his first immunisation
shot - although at that age they don't call it asthma. When the asthma finally
went away we got the second shot. After that he frequently stopped breathing and
was on so much medication we took turns at sitting up with him through the
night. Finally we decided that the medication wasn't working constantly enough
and took him off it without telling the doctor – and our son slowly got better.
He would still have small attacks on occasions so after my husband read your
book he decided we should try diet. We noticed there was a difference when we
found some sultanas that didn't contain sulphites.
We were doing great and had
almost six months free of any medication then last week our son developed an
ear infection and was put on Amoxil antibiotics and Panadol for pain, both
containing sodium benzoate. Within three days he had an asthma episode. After
much enquiry I have found that sodium benzoate is in almost every single baby
medication including pain medication (often along with artificial colours and
flavours. Our pharmacist said that the small amount of sodium benzoate couldn't
possibly create a reaction like asthma, it's unheard of, and as sodium benzoate
is so effective as a preservative it is the most commonly used preservative in
medication today and likely to be in the future. God help us!! – mother from Qld.
[369] You didn’t mention the failsafe diet was
also cheap (July 2005)
I feel very comfortable with
this diet and am not craving anything. Not even chocolate! I emptied the pantry
and fridge of everything that wasn't failsafe and gave it all away. (it was
heaps). I cook our biscuits and cakes and meals, of course, and it just feels
right. Going to the supermarket feels good - 'no, nothing in this isle'.......
'no, nothing in this isle'...... and
saving at the checkout! You didn't mention that the failsafe diet was also
cheap! I 'd call it the poor mans diet.
I think it is the simplicity that I like most, it's as if everything was
just over the top and out of control. Food adverts on the TV make me really cranky
now, it is similar to being a reformed smoker, I am now a reformed eater. I am
not as conflicted as I was before regarding my son 'missing out’. It really is
a lifestyle change and I think I've been wanting that for some years but just
didn't have the will power to go 'healthy'. (Actually 'healthy' always made me
sick). I have been saying to my partner for five years, if I could find a diet
that was healthy and agreed with me, I would stick to it for life - I think
I've found it!

***Warning*** McCains have informed us that McCains pizza bases contain unlisted BHA despite advice to the contrary from the company’s
hotline to a failsafe enquirer last week. Confused? You can check for yourself
on the McCain’s hotline 1800 065 521. Other products such as “Healthy Choice:
hot chips and hash browns have contained unlisted BHA since May last year. As
an alternative, you could try R&R bakeries gluten free pizza bases (also

Persimmon Wine
– apologies from vintner David Scott, the Lonely Palate winery has run out of
persimmon wine due to all of us thirsty failsafers. But it’s persimmon harvest

A2 milk continues to spread – now in Coles
in Darwin - and we continue to hear from failsafers who can tolerate it much
better than A1 or even goat’s milk.
“Yesterday I drank 2 glasses of A2 with no ill effects, this is the most
dairy I have had in nearly 20 years so I am excited.” (failsafer with irritable
bowel symptoms). However, we have heard
of a dairy free asthmatic who can’t manage A2 either.
***Warning*** Bad effects from BHA 320 in Home Brand canola oil “We have been failsafe and dairy
free for three weeks now, although we started clearing our cupboards
drastically the week before we started. About two and a half weeks into
failsafe we were all feeling fantastic, I even had the energy to start baking
and making mayonnaise, which we absolutely pigged out on. Within twenty four
hours I was back to feeling horrible and over the next couple of days the children’s
symptoms degenerated too. Eventually I
discovered that the Home Brand canola oil I was using contained nasty
antioxidants 319 and 320, so I tossed it (and the mayonnaise) out and we
recovered.”

Q. Is Peters Original Vanilla Ice Cream with “new improved recipe” marked on the top right hand corner still failsafe?
A. The flavour has changed and we have received many complaints
from failsafers. Comments from adults and children include "yuk",
"vile", "disgusting" and "fake". My kids say it
doesn’t taste that bad but don’t want to eat it. The consumer hotline officer
explained to one failsafer that “original” on the label does not refer to the
recipe being original, as you may have thought, but is a trademark. You can try
other brands in your supermarket. Sarah Lee French Vanilla is still a good safe
brand as far as I know or you can buy that icecream maker you always wanted.
Our Breville Scoop Factory icecream maker has been working overtime during the
holidays. See our favourite new recipe in Cooks’ Corner below.
Q. Does thrush improve on the
failsafe diet?
A. Yes. Several failsafers have reported that they find
the failsafe diet much easier to stick to than the candida diet and their
lifelong thrush problems have cleared up.
Q. My ADHD son is only five, in prep
and he has trouble in the playground. Typically he won't eat his sandwich or
whatever and goes off to the senior playground - preps have their own
playground but are not policed to stay there – where he has been bullied
several times so I have come up with a plan to assist my son with his diet and
the playground dilemma. We live straight across the road from school and I work
three minutes drive from home, so I am going to take an hour for lunch and
bring him home for lunch everyday. I can then make sure he eats and I can
actually cook him lunch, so that beats the boring sandwich problem. It will
help him by not being around kids eating brightly coloured prepackaged food and
coming home for lunch is a treat. It will also help me to take some time out
from work which can be extremely stressful at times and I love coming home for
lunch, especially having something cooked. We may even invite a classmate
occasionally to help him form friendship bonds - he can relate to and play well
with other children much better in a controlled environment). So it’s a great
plan, hey?
A. Yes, it’s a
wonderful plan! Your son is lucky that you are able to do that for him.
Playgrounds are terrible places for kids with food intolerance. When my kids
attended a supportive private school, the library was open at recess and
lunchtime for kids who do better in small, quiet controlled environments, and
for one marvellous year an exceptionally talented teacher opened her classroom
for lunch, allowing students to use classroom resources including books,
computer games and board games. Having a ‘withdrawing room’ option to the
playground would be one of the most supportive steps schools could take for
kids with food-related behaviour, health or learning problems.
Q. I recently ate Seafood Salad in
mornay sauce at my father’s house for lunch. There was some left over so I took
it home and ate it again for dinner. A few hours later I started feeling
strange, my face went red and my eyes started swelling alarmingly. I was scared
I was going to get worse so I rushed to hospital where they treated me with
antihistamines. I’d like to know what caused it, because I don’t want to go
through that again.
A.
From your symptoms, I would expect the culprit to be flavour enhancer
ribonucleotides 635 (or its components 627 and 631) so I visited our local
fishermen’s co-op to check. They sell several brands, a ‘seafood extender’ sold
recently thawed and unlabelled, and two frozen packets “Seafood Salad” and
“Seafood Sticks” both from Thailand. The ingredients lists are similar (white
fish, egg white, crab extract, crab flavour, tapioca starch, sat, wheat starch,
sugar, natural food colour 120). It is rare but possible to have an allergic
reaction to colour 120 (cochineal). However, the delay in your symptoms
suggests ribonucleotides. While the crab extract and crab flavour have no
numbers on the Seafood salad, the crab sticks list crab flavour (631, 627) as
well as MSG 621. So I am guessing that’s your problem – unlisted
ribonucleotides.

I had no idea the brochure even existed, but thanks so much for directing me to it. I am not very Internet savvy, however I found it easy enough. Regarding possible opposition to failsafeing within the child care setting ... now all I have to do is hand over a copy of this and let them ask questions! Thanks again. I highly recommend everyone print this out if you don't already have a copy, it sure cuts out the "but WHY can't your kid have (insert food here)?" questions. Great for grandparents too."
