subject: Alcoholics

JANE KELLEY was thinking about Alcoholics and keyed into cyberspace:
JK>BM> Well it has skipped at least 4 generations on my side and at
JK>BM> least 3 on my wife's side yet we produced a child with ADHD.
JK>BM> Explain if you can those kids who have ADD/ADHD where there is
JK>BM> no, zero, zip history of alcoholism going as far back as the
JK>BM> Sarah Constant... 
JK>According to the paper I laboriously typed in for you, Dr. Charles
JK>Bates, in Olympia WA would say this is due to food allergies.  Any
JK>history of that in the kid's family tree?
But ADHD has been shown not to be caused by food allergies. In fact, the 
diagnostic method promulgated by ADHD experts, and sanctioned by DSM III 
specifically require that any other possible cause of the behavior be 
ruled out. IOW, a kid with ADHD has already been shown not to have 
allergies. ADHD is what is "leftover" when everything else is ruled out. 
Don't you get it? This is the 10 E10 time I have told you this. 
JK>BM> I'll also remind you that, not even once have I claimed to be an
JK>BM> expert in alcoholism.
JK>Since at least 20% of all those you will meet in your lifetime are
JK>impacted by this disease, it is advisable that anyone who works with
JK>people know something about it.
The doorman in my friends building in NYC works with people, should he?
What about veterinarians? Dog groomers?
