    Hi,
    Are you aware of the Feingold Association. It is a parent support group that was formed in 1976 after Dr. Feingold wrote “Why Your Child is Hyperactive.” Parents got together to help and support each other to eliminate artificial food dyes and other dangerous additives. Today it continues the work of Dr. Feingold. I’ve been a member for many years. It’s website is http://www.feingold.org
