About the Author:

I am a mother of a child who was said to have had ADHD and have succesfully kept my child off of medication through diet. My other child had food allergies which caused a variety of medical problems, also combatted through this diet. When I had such success without medication, people started comming to me and asking if I could teach them. I went to grocery stores and raided paintrys helping to teach parents. I began getting requests for help from other parts of the country from both parents and teachers. I decided that the easiest way to help others was to make an easy to use guide. I have been helping parents all over the country via mail and internet, and locally I give free seminars at local churches, schools and clubs.

My degree is in Hotel Administration from UNLV. I graduated in 1990 and stayed home after the birth of our first child in 1992. I currently live in Glibert Arizona with my husband and two children.
