JS>JK> Jerry, some docs consider ADD a form of FAS.  Treatable, but the 
esult
JS>JK> of alcohol use in the family background.
JS>Is ADD unknown in the children of teetotalers?  I haven't heard that.
There is another kind that does not occur in alcoholic families.  Have
no idea where that one comes from.  Some genetic mutation of another
kind.
JS>JK> These kids respond better to dietary measures aimed at specific
JS>JK> neurotrasmitters rather than drugs.
JS>Perhaps.  However, some of the claims made for dietary manipulation are
JS>rather exaggerated, in my opinion.
Then tell me why we bother to give the PKU test to each newborn infant?
And that the diet will work to prevent mental dysfunction when used?
Or a diet high in fat will work on kids who have epilespy?
Don't knock what you don't understand.
