Hello everyone
In the 20
years that I have been lobbying against harmful food additives, I have never
seen so much happen so fast – see below for exciting new research and overseas
action about food additives. A special
welcome to the many people who have joined our network after attending a
presentation during our recent tour! Readers tell us how much they enjoy the
reader reports in our newsletter - ‘I
don’t feel so alone’ said one - so in this issue there are more poignant,
courageous, heartwarming, inspiring or mind-boggling stories. Don’t miss
product updates with some great new products and important product warnings.
Thank you to all who have contributed to this issue and stay tuned – we will
have an important announcement for you very soon.
Happy
failsafeing

Artificial colours in Europe to require a
warning label
Last year, research
from Southampton University produced clear evidence that certain food additives
can influence hyperactive behaviour. As a result of the Southampton Study, in
April this year the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) requested a voluntary ban on
the use of six well-known artificial colours. In July, the European Parliament
voted in favour of labelling foods containing the six colours with the words
'may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children’. By the end of 2009, companies will have to
decide whether to continue to use the additives and suffer the effects the
warning might have on sales, or make the changes. Many large companies,
including five major UK supermarket chains, Cadbury and Nestle, have pledged to
remove all artificial colourings from their products in the UK but this is not
happening in Australia. www.actiononadditives.com

Diet and ADHD: a
successful new trial: A new Dutch study compared ADHD children on the Few Foods diet to a
control group of ADHD children on the waiting list for the diet. Parents
reported that 73 per cent on children on diet improved compared to none in the
control group, and teachers reported 70 per cent of children on the diet
improved compared to none in the control group. Researchers concluded ‘a
strictly supervised elimination diet may be a valuable instrument in testing
young children with ADHD on whether dietary factors may contribute to the
manifestation of the disorder and may have a beneficial effect on the
children's behaviour’. Pelsser LM and
others, A randomised controlled trial into the effects of food on ADHD Eur

Camel milk ‘cure’ for food
allergies: Eight
children with severe food (mainly milk) allergies recovered fully from their
allergies by drinking camel milk. Medical researchers at the Ben-Gurion
University in Beer Sheva Israel reported
that the children aged 4 months to 10 years suffered from symptoms such as
diarrhoea and vomiting after eating, skin rashes, asthma, lactase deficiency and
‘chemical imbalance’ that did not respond to conventional treatments. The 4
months old child had been taken home from hospital because of lack of
improvement and constant diarrhoea. A girl from the US was anaphylactic to cows
milk and extremely allergic to all but a few foods. Families were supplied with
bottles of frozen unpasteurised camel milk to be thawed as needed and
instructed not to heat the milk which would destroy the immunoglobulins and
protective proteins. The milk replaced all other foods for 2 weeks, after which
other food was gradually added to the diet as chosen by parents. All children
showed improvement with 24 hours of starting to drink the milk and all symptoms
disappeared with in 4 days. No recurrence of the allergic symptoms was reported
within 30 days. The 4 month old later suffered a severe ear infection which
improved on reintroduction of camel milk. The child from the US returned home
after two weeks and was able to eat foods to which she had previously been
allergic. The researchers suggested that the rapid improvement in the
children’s health and later ability to digest other foods may be due to both
the lack of the allergenic beta-lactoglobulin and particular beta-casein
protein found in cows milk combined with protective proteins found in camel
milk. Shabo Y et al, Camel milk for food
allergies in children, Isr Med Assoc J. 2005;7(12):796-8, http://www.ima.org.il/imaj/ar05dec-12.pdf
Network Survey results: during the speaking tour in
May-June 2008, attended by more than 3,000 people, about 1,000 attendees were
surveyed and 648 responses obtained. The result is that 96% believe that food additives should be better tested before they are
approved, the focus being on including evidence of behavioural, learning
and other health effects before approval.

Laboratory testing: during 2007-08, FIN spent $4,351 on
laboratory tests, looking for illegal additives and seeking to extend the
knowledge of salicylate contents of foods. We have been unable to find a
reliable laboratory for salicylates so this program is suspended. Thanks to
Julie Eady of Additive Alert for a $600 donation towards this testing.

Diet and ADHD: Removing artificial colours and
preservatives from the diets of children with ADHD should be considered a first-line
treatment to reduce hyperactivity, a child allergy specialist says. Professor
Andrew Kemp from the Children's Hospital at Westmead, in Sydney, says there is
good scientific evidence that preservatives and colourings increased
hyperactive behaviour. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=568712.

[683] The truth about peanut bans – by the father of an
allergic 6 yo (September 2008)
We have a six-year-old son
with life-threatening multiple food allergies to nuts, dairy, sesame and egg.
We are concerned about the
lack of allergy awareness in our state. While peanut bans initially sound like
a positive move they are actually not recommended by ASCIA as they set up a
false sense of security. It may only take 1/2000th of a peanut to kill. It
takes up a huge amount of our time with phone calls and food label reading to
try and establish what foods contain traces of nuts - and in our case other
allergens. The ban is impossible to enforce, puts other parents offside, some
parents and teaching staff refuse to adhere to the bans and it overshadows
other allergens which are growing in number and severity like dairy or egg.
The most common allergens
vary from country to country and city to city. For instance in
Rather than bans, we'd like
to concentrate more on students being encouraged not to share food and to wash
hands after eating. We hope these preventative measures would eliminate the
need for the next step of using the epipen, but of course we would also require
teachers to be knowledgeable in this area and be comfortable in using an epipen
- something that was not in place at our school.
Some big changes in NSW and
VIC occurred after deaths from anaphylaxis at schools. Luckily deaths have not
occurred in our state yet and hopefully they will make the necessary
improvements shortly and not wait for a death to occur before they do. – Geoff, by email
[To see Geoff’s suggestions
– a letter sent home to parents and an allergy awareness page http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/newsletters/peanutallergy.pdf;
note that nut bans are encouraged in childcare centres where children are too
young to understand]
[682] I was pushed to control cry my son (September 2008) [COURAGE
AWARD]
I just wanted to tell you
about the startling difference we have seen in my son since removing
salicylates. He is now 18 months old and the difference is profound - removing
apple alone reduced nearly all of his night wakings, and removing avocado and
corn as well has stopped his moodiness, screaming and irritability. His reflux
is more under control and he no longer screams during the day and most
especially at night. If he does we know it means either he or I have eaten
something we shouldn’t by accident. I’ve also determined that he reacts to a
lot of additives as well. 160b produces aggressiveness, defiance and screaming
within 24 hours. I now have a really happy well behaved little boy. I was
pushed to control cry my son due to his poor sleeping, but I knew something
deeper was wrong. I'm SO glad I went with my gut instinct that it was food
related. – Taryn, Vic
[681] My 14-year-old son thought it was a conspiracy theory
(September 2008)
We have been on failsafe
eating for just over 2 weeks. I am already starting to notice an improvement in
my 6-year-old’s behaviour and picking up on certain foods that send him off the
wall. I attended school last Friday with him for a picnic lunch and had to ring
my husband to tell him how great our son was and it was actually a pleasure to
be there with him. It is like I have my beautiful boy back again. I noticed he
has been laughing at things on the tv which I haven't heard for a long time.
Even his older brothers have said they thought he has been better.
By the way my 14-year-old
son who thought it was all a conspiracy theory between mothers to get their
kids off junk food came home from school and said ‘mum I know I didn't believe
you but I actually had the best day at school today, I felt happy I could
concentrate and had heaps of energy, maybe there is something to this eating
programme’, and that's from my cruisy easy going child. – Maria, NSW
[680] Nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) due to diet (September
2008)
We have seen some huge
improvements in my 6-year-old son’s nocturnal eneuresis. He had not had any dry
nights since he was 3 years old. After
making the changes below he started to have some dry nights (3-4 a week). Now
he has been dry for the last 9 nights.
·
we
have started him on A2 milk
·
we
used to have a jug of diluted orange juice in the fridge, now the kids drink
mainly water with the occasional magic cordial.
·
he
was eating broccoli almost every night and we have not had any for 4 weeks now
·
I
have been more diligent in not buying any products with preservative 282 in it
·
generally
more aware of products full of additives, colours and preservatives since
hearing you speak and reading your books
·
our
son did love to eat salami and ham (deli), so he has not had this for 4 weeks.
His bladder capacity is so
much bigger and he can hold on for longer in the day. His mood swings are
virtually resolved and you can reason with him if he is wanting something that
is not appropriate, food or otherwise. My husband and I can both see that he is
more confident in himself and sociable, making him a lovely child to be around.
He usually has redipred once or twice in winter for exacerbation of asthma
symptoms, but so far has not required any this winter, despite having a cold
last week, so that is looking positive. Thank you for motivating me to review
what I was putting in my family’s mouths. We don't have access to fast foods
living in the country, so that was never an issue. With a few simple changes to
my son's diet, the improvements have been remarkable. The whole family is now
reaping the benefit of these changes and so will continue to be more aware of
what is in the food that we are eating. Thanks again for your passion and
drive. – Paula, NSW
[679] Menopausal symptoms, hot flushes and failsafe
(September 2008)
I put myself on the diet
five years ago as I was suffering severe hot flushes, was continually tired,
felt sick most times after I ate, felt fuzzy in the head, got cranky for no
reason and did not sleep well at all. My life changed - I now sleep well, I am
not tired all the time, the hot flushes stopped, my head is clear and I very
rarely get sick. If I have a lousy day or night I can always trace it back to
something I have eaten the day before or two or three days before. The worst
offenders are additives and salicylates. I have always been a big fruit eater
especially watermelon, and it has been one of the hardest things to give up,
however if I do binge on fruits high in salicylates especially watermelon I pay
for it with hot flushes and a sleepless night. I also get hot flushes if I eat
chicken that is not organic which I avoid at all costs now.
I see a lot of women I work
with suffering with menopausal symptoms and I think myself extremely lucky that
I found and was prepared to give failsafe eating a try. Unfortunately you can
take a horse to water but you can't make it drink. These women as many other
people I talk to don't believe it could be that simple and are not prepared to
give it a go, silly them. - by email
[678] ‘Postnatal depression’ due to fish oil capsules
(September 2008)
I've recently noticed that I
get really grumpy when taking a certain brand of super strength fish oil
capsules. I started thinking I was suffering from post natal depression as I
could feel the anger start inside me and build really fast and grow bigger. A
bit hard to describe but I had never had this feeling before. I forgot to take
them for a while which is what made me realise it was the capsules. -
Carole, by email [see our supplements factsheet for similar reports http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/factsheets/Factsupplements.htm#fishoilsupps]
[677] ‘Postnatal depression’ due to diet coke (September
2008)
I noticed that I have a dramatic reaction to diet coke.
If I drink it, I get depressed and mood swings within 24 hours. So what we
thought was emotion due to having bubs, was really the diet coke I was drinking
as a pick-me-up due to lack of sleep. The challenge was eye opening. I did a benzoate challenge and was fine. I
did another challenge with Diet Coke and the mood change is profound. The next
day I was depressed, despondent and my husband said it was like turning off a
light. – by email
[676] Salicylate reaction to NSAIDs and Cox 2 inhibitors
(September 2008)
I just wanted to let you
know that some people with salicylate sensitivity do not just react to NSAIDS.
Cox2 inhibitors such as Celebrex can also be a concern in 5-10 per cent of
people. I fall into this group and I am unable to take any prescription
anti-inflammatories apart from prednisolone. Fish oil (if tolerated in high
doses) is an excellent alternative for me and thought your readers may benefit
from this. It was known that I had reactions to NSAIDS and aspirin yet when I
was trialled on Cox 2 no mention was made that there could be a possible cross
reaction (http://www.allergy.org.au/content/view/105/117/). I was basically told that I was unusual
without any explanation other than for me to try others would be life
threatening. If it helps one other person to know that this is possible then
what I went through is worth it. – by
email, Vic [For more about fish oil supplements, see http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/factsheets/Factsupplements.htm#fishoilsupps.
The writer of this email does not react to amines and is using Blackmores fish
oil]
[675] Alzheimer’s, asthma and apnoea (September 2008)
I thought I would share
with you briefly my experience of treating my wife who was diagnosed with early
onset Alzheimer's. Apart from the Alzheimer's diagnosis, she suffered from
asthma, sleep apnoea, was unable to speak more than one word at a time and was
going down hill very fast. After a lot of research I decided to put her on to a
90% + raw food diet and after one month, she started to speak the odd phrase.
This was marvellous and only encouraged me to continue. However the amazing
thing was after a few months her asthma symptoms began to disappear and she was
able to reduce her dependence on puffers. After six months even the preventer
puffer was reduced to almost zero and a year later in consultation with the
doctor stopped using puffers altogether. Two and a half years later, she has
been symptom-free for two winters so confidently predict it has gone forever.
Oh, by the way her sleep apnoea has gone as well. This experience of curing
asthma with raw food is not unique as I have subsequently found out. When
visiting your website I realised the raw food diet was eliminating additives.
Commercial raw food has other problems i.e. pesticides, growth promoters etc
but the experience of using commercial raw food has been worthwhile. Would like
to eat organic but currently that's not possible. When visiting, we eat normal
food and don't expect others to provide the food we use at home. – John, by email
[674] Two naturopaths write about failsafe eating (1)
(September 2008)
I have been in practice as
a naturopath for 22 years. Your failsafe information has completely
revolutionised the way I look at food and how it affects children and adults.
Gone are all my old elimination diets and theories, I work purely with
chemicals, natural or otherwise, in the diet. Thanks for all the support and
your great website and books, they give my patients an instant network to hook
into when they are not with me. – by
email
[673] Two naturopaths write about failsafe eating (2)
(September 2008)
Our son has been
progressively more moody and ADHD since 3 yrs-old and we couldn’t understand
why. We know now! We were used to wheat, dairy and numbers sensitivities and
have worked with them in our family for years. Plenty of healthy foods. We had
no idea about salicylates or amines and have had to shift from a diet abundant
previously in fruits and veggies.
We haven’t done well with
elimination - most weekends since we started we have either been travelling or
having birthday parties and have mucked up the diet - and even so we have seen
great changes in our son. He has become quite the sleuth in reading labels and
monitoring other children’s lunches. He has been very compliant. Better than my
husband who we’ve seen great changes in too.
My husband is a naturopath
and worked a lot with sensitivities and this has unfolded a whole new awareness
and interest for him He has definitely seen proof in the
salicylate/amine/number free pudding!!! My daughter’s eczema is much better too
than on the previous wheat and dairy free approach. My husband would like to
incorporate this awareness into his work with clients and we shall get the DVD
to show clients and family and friends. –

[672] Profound migraine, trigeminal neuralgia and the cream
cheese diet (September 2008)
I stumbled upon your web
page by accident. I have lived the last 30 years with profound migraine and
trigeminal neuralgia. I am on some powerful meds and am trying to put off MVD
(microvascular decompression) surgery. My headaches are chronic and have
absolutely stolen the best years of my life. I have almost learned to expect
and just deal with the incessant pain. But I think I just may have accidentally
made an odd discovery. I wanted to lose a few pounds and I decided to do Dr.
Atkins Fat Fast for a few days - which is simply cream cheese and nothing else.
Within two days my head was pain free. So I am thinking this is very strange:
is eating food giving me headaches??? I
began to research and came upon histamines. I am amazed as I have never been
‘allergic’ to anything and never had sinus problems. I did note to the doctor
that I was certain oranges had triggered migraine attacks - and wine or alcohol
and dark chocolate. He told me to stay away from them but never mentioned
histamines. I used to have friends … a life ... I have contemplated suicide
many times. I have been told to put ice packs on my head. I fantasize about
somehow being present at my own autopsy and taking a hammer and beating my own
head and face to pieces. Now I think I am on to what might have caused this
pain all these years. – by email,
[671] Extreme reaction to local anaesthetic (September 2008)
On the second day of
school, my 12-year-old cut his knee badly exposing the tendons. The doctor said
he had to really pump him full of anaesthetic as it was so bad. The effects
seemed to really throw him out. Instead of getting physical though as he would
have a few years ago, he brought it into himself. He just sobbed his heart out
and couldn't talk. He had very bad headaches and the shakes. He slept non-stop
for about two days before we started getting him back on track. At school the
teacher said that my son had been so happy before but after his accident he
turned into into a sullen, seldom speaking young lad. - by email, Qld [Local including dental anaesthetic injections
usually contain preservatives that can cause worse problems when injected than
consumed by mouth. It is possible to get preservative-free local anaesthetics

[670] Behavioural reaction to medications in hospital
(September 2008)
Recently my failsafe
6-year-old son went into hospital to have grommets in and his adenoids removed.
Right up until he went into the operating theatre he amazed us with his great
behaviour and how he dealt with the whole process. The minute he woke up he was
so aggressive, rude, would not co-operate and was back to our little monster
again. We couldn't wait to slink out of
the hospital with him and get home. The next day he was still agitated and
demanding. Do you think the anaesthetic and medication he received for this
procedure could cause these sort of reactions?
I know kids do react to going into hospital etc but the change in him
from before and after was so dramatic I just have to wonder if it could affect
him. – by email, NSW [General
anaesthetics are usually OK but medications before and after the procedure can
cause bad side effects. You can discuss this with your anaesthetist beforehand,
see the free introduction to Friendly Food on www.cs.nsw.gov.au/rpa/Allergy/default]
[659] WOW! Big turnaround in three weeks (September 2008)
My son started kindergarten
this year and was at the principal’s office within weeks. He had stabbed his
classmate with a pencil, he had run away on a school excursion, been incredibly
rude and obnoxious to teachers and hit other children. He was defiant, easily
frustrated, blamed others for everything under the sun, he was aggressive with
his siblings and parents, socially he was not improving either.
After the disastrous start
to school I picked up your book which I thought was going to just talk about
colours and preservatives and could not put it down. It made so much sense and
I just had that gut feeling we had found a possible solution. We started
failsafe eating almost immediately and we made many errors but finally worked
through those. Before the diet he would have avocado, banana and berries in his
lunch and he would come home to spinach and tomato lasagne!!
During the diet my son
slept and slept and slept. His behaviour improved very slowly but once we were
in the third week we noticed a big turn around. One morning he surfaced at
When he returned to school
for term two his teacher and school counsellor were in disbelief. During the
whole of term two he did not even once have to go to the time-out beanbag in
his classroom. WOW! He has started to make friends and has picked up some
awards along the way.- by email
[658] Tachycardias, falling blood pressure, red nose
(September 2008)
For many years I have had
tachycardias, a feeling of being ‘unplugged’ (as if my heart had stopped, blood
pressure rapidly falling and I was going ‘out’) and inexplicable cold in my
hands and feet like ice even in the summer. And the same thing on my nose. It
turns bright red at times for no reason as if the capillaries dilated and it
remains that way for a long time - it burns as if it has been held on the
stove. Since changing my diet, my nose is normally coloured, I am nice and warm
all over and no one has been ‘pulling my plug’.
It seems that food chemicals affect my vascular system and blood flow. – by email
