JANE KELLEY was thinking about Hello and keyed into cyberspace:
JK>MP>JK>Mark, one could do 10,000 studies on the wrong folks and not
JK>MP>JK>find a blessed thing.  One has to do them on those who are
JK>MP>JK>affected directly by allergies in order to prove anything.
JK>MP>Well, jane, the double blind, placebo controlled, studies were
JK>MP>done on children who have ADHD. That certainly sounds like the
JK>MP>right group. Other studies were done on ADH kids whose parents
JK>MP>***swore*** that the ingested substances caused hyperactivity.
JK>And I've got literature from other sources stating that the amino
JK>acids help some of these children.
From the last time we did this, those sources are called salesmen. 
Hardly "objective".
JK>Face it, there are those who refuse to sit on hard chairs and learn
JK>anything new.  Would you go sit for 30 hours a year unless your next
JK>certification depended upon it?
Personally, I like a nice soft chair, and the professional meeting I 
attend do provide them. In 1996, I attended nearly 60 hours of 
professional education, simply because I wanted to.  This year, due to 
family pressures, I slipped back to 34. 
JK>That is the equivilent of one college course a year for life or at
JK>least as long as one practices.  And the temptation is to stick to
JK>something that is easy after working 40-60 hours a week with other
JK>people's problems.
So, Janey, even if a doc goes for the education, you dismiss it as being 
easy.
JK>Yet when I do go to the conferences I find on nutrition and brain
JK>chemistry, they are full of those who will take the time, spend the
JK>money, and go learn something new.
Well, those conferences, judging by the ones you mention, are certainly 
full of it. 
JK>I find that most "mental health" practitioners are still woefully
JK>lacking in the first clue about what actually happens inside the body
JK>and/or the brain.
JK>And, I've just finished making up an intake for pathological gambling
JK>which is also going to screen for food allergies, among other things.
I'll give you 6 to 1 that they all have some sort of food allergies.
JK>Then I am going to have to teach one "mental health" worker how to
JK>use it.
You have a 50-50 chance of having success.
               The Few. The Proud. The Chosen.
