Jane Kelley (On 17 May 97) was overheard expounding to Bob Moylan
 JK> I'm repeating this as you claim not to have any concrete information
 JK> from me at all.....
 JK> The Institute for Natural Resources in Berkeley, CA has a
 JK> lecture by
     ^^^^^^^
 If they by chance provide any handouts with reference please be sure
 to pass them along.
 JK> Laura Pawlak, Ph.D., R.D. and Marjorie R. Freedman, M.S., Ph.D
 So you are going to listen to a dietitian with a doctorate talk about
 her field and how she perceives it to apply to ADHD...what does
 Freedman have a doctorate in??
 JK>         BEYOND RITALIN, Attention Deficit, Depression, & Food
 JK> The goals for those who attend include:
 JK> describe the pharmacological, psychological, and behavorioral
 JK> therapies currently used in the treatment of attention defict/
 JK> hyperactivity disorder.
 I don't have to fly to California and sit on one of those "hard
 chairs" to do any of that Jane.
 JK> outline how various dietary components may affect brain
 Key word here Jane is "may"
 JK> function, mood, emotions, appetite, and behavior.
 JK>      describe the oral health implications of the diets discussed
 JK>      in this program.
 JK>      design diets to optimize overall mental health and well-being.
 These relate to ADD/ADHD in what way??
 JK> This course is approved for continuing education credits y the
 JK> American Nurses Association, for pharmacists licensed by the states of
 JK> Oregon and Washington, American Psychological Association for
 JK> psychologists, the American Dietetic Association, And the Oregon Board
 JK> of Clinical Social Workers.
 None of whom I would consult regarding treatment for ADD/ADHD...
 _none_!
 JK> The phone number to call for courses is 1-800-937-6878 or write to
 As I said California is just a bit too far away to attend a
 lecture...
 JK>       INR
 JK>       P.O. Box 4218
 JK>       Berkeley, CA 94704-0218
 JK>       (510) 450-1650 for general information
 These are helpful, since I've had little luck in obtaining anything
 from any of the other phone numbers you've provided I will write and
 ask for specifics on how what they are offering sheds insight on
 viable treatment for ADD/ADHD.
 JK> The cost of the conference here is $56.00 I will attend, and I will
 JK> I invite you and anyone else who is skeptical concerning the effect of
 JK> any diet on behavior or thought content to contact this group of
 JK> scientists and find out why they are offering such a lecture.
 Well at $56 a head it's rather difficult to accept they are totally
 altruistic.
... All answers questioned here.
