A Word on Words; 0907; Dr. William Crook

so tam delving into the world of books and their authors tonight dr william talks about help for the hyperactive trying to cure host forward and where is mr johnson intolerant publisher fantasy award or worse singing i am i guess as an author has been witnessed before oh you remember him from least connection and other books dr william g grabill group welcome back nice to be with you to helpful the hyperactive child is your latest and you do the self help books farm families of children who are really caught the tribe and the trap of hyperactivity this one is almost a how to book an idea i wonder about these simplicity is almost see jane run see bob runs a media is it is it a state in about as simply

as it possibly could be and you say that it's primarily for the parents and teachers of hyperactive children to novel idea but talk a little bit about the simplicity of the writing john you know the hands of hyperactive sure and sometimes a soul stress they can even have time to read the newspaper this is the third book i've written on hyperactive drama rwandans seventy five another one in eighty seven one eighty seven beautiful book one of reviews but nobody read a book in nineteen seventy eight with the same style as this book although ninety six pages of interested in the japanese it's been rebranded about ten thousand are said to get the message across you keep itself and that's what we did when we talk a little about your writing you'd be the first to acknowledge that you are converts you and you sit there and

gray in the us alone sullivan and i'm challenging presence and still of people in the food industry doctors researchers also frightened by your theories of how to cuba or other problems of hyperactivity in children why is that well part of it is ego part of it is economic part of it is politics of a brezhnev not up on something that down and also from a broader view of economics if the food and issued believe what i believe they would have to change the way that they do things run saying drink accord milk every day to drink dr pepper ten two in ten you got to rotate a diversified a dad and coach way back on shore a lot of trauma sensitive to milk you know we've been brainwashed to believe that milk

is next to god home country and motherhood that though it's good for everybody but a lot of children a sensitive to and i use that word advisedly sensitive we'll talk about that moment well let's talk about now when you lose a sensitive when you say they're sensitive to the two of you mean they're allergic to aha on reddit user read an analysis at my heroes who are allergists say you cannot call something analogy unless you can demonstrate the mechanism and the mechanism is that you have what we call an allergen and on average in and it hitches up like locking key within a body and then you have a mine explosion and all sorts of mediators histamine these food sensitivities come down a different track they work in a different way and there've been described for all long long time in a major pediatric literature or nineteen forty seven nineteen fifty four duke university student he did a study of a child

with convulsions they did brain wave tests often own milk giles milton had no compulsion to know more brainwave they gave about milk abnormal brain wave trust and convulsions are reported my panties in the major pediatric literature in nineteen sixty one and i did a double blind study on child with no sensitive you know what that is cause an urban rioting in talking about it ever since and i didn't say the hyperactive kids in the fifties and sixties they weren't there billy's not very many of them and i can say that with great confidence because my partners and i'm jackson will only game in town illinois the pediatricians index in the fifties so we go from a pretty sick kids between the tennessee between him mississippi and kentucky borders than the arkansas border that didn't stop an actress and knife but by the late sixties they began increasing and bothered is set as they were coming out of the woodwork at the

top to christie who is a wonderful wonderful miles christie and analysis he said that it wants to keep records are kept a record of every new hyperactive child it came to me for five consecutive years in samina ahmed a hundred eighty two they were pants who said much outside directv don't pay attention the dance its daily to get along with their friends and neighbors up put them only one week they're just one week seven days where the aborted about eight other common food they're eating every day that if they got better they usually did we head of the food bank wanted the time to see which foods calls or action then added follow up studies both the phone and in person and by mail and i publish my findings in the journal learning disabilities in nineteen eighty eight hundred and thirty six of the parents were absolutely certain that water more food played a part in causing the child hyperactivity now yes we'll have enough

hours talking in chicago to la la shea league the breastfeeding mothers in nineteen eighty and a chicago tribune reporter was that not tall and he wrote a bit sad article opened the tribune syndicated tennessee doctor says it's sugar cause of hyperactivity or not long after that i got an invitation from the sugar association in washington to come to a fancy golf inn resort in florida i played a map laid off with a proposed a play within the second day and i think even the word allah from him that night i did model related life psycho home the next morning i said about don't get all come down and looking out it applies so they proceeded to fund studies by a bomb in your doctor doctor has to wonder by physicians now most avid vanderbilt the show that sure

as nothing to do with hyperactivity now they didn't ask me how to set up the state but to prove any food but to demonstrate that if food causes a problem you've got to have the talent got the voted for about a week and then added back so the child will save hyperactive his baking chocolate milk every day you have to leave the job given milk allergies about for about a week and then when he calmed down and give it back to them and some doubt that only takes announcer too to try to behave well i you know i talked to only modest and read a great deal about what you've written if i would go into the heart of this book maybe halfway and i would find a series of anecdotal histories right in which to detail how this child was acting how that yao was acting how much our was acting

end i suppose all across this country right now there are in homes in kindergarten certain rights groups perhaps in juvenile detention centers children who are quote acting up close quote <unk> who are out of control children who can't sit still children who pick fights children than constantly why aren't you scream out certain need at experts suggest that these problems the roots of these problems a psychological not internal not medical not the physical your argument is that if you'd look at the dire to be a place to start and quite often may get you then serve that would save you thousands of dollars then hundreds of hours

looking for its image of iran in the jam and i'm not denying but they are the causes for example a good studies to show that children could take some in the inner cities who live in old house is where they eat pate but defenders in the mouth of a brave does have too much lead we also know and i very much believe i was an army psychiatrist once i didn't have any training in it but they appointed me as the sketches i know that of a child and have long been holding and touching film wall for years and so forth that they may be obstreperous say and not get along well i can tell a story of a relative this is a child who had good times in the final man who so didn't sit still in school and then get a garden that the teacher thought he ought to be on ritalin william your baby sister and patsy just moved in many

as marlowe was off a little more critical of him for different things and just as soon as the families settle down the job got more attention paid to settle down so that other causes and so we're not saying they see the car that little picture in my book which shows a camel the traditional below the camel and so what we're saying is that lord calls of a very important cause in most children into food and then that double blind studies that some of the doctors have not read and non distinguished british journal lancet nineteen eighty five it took seventy six of these hyper kinetic kinetic me movement children and they did a special about sixty two other seventy six what hyperactive called buy foods and they did a double blind study an even out to leading pediatric journals in nineteen eighty nine well all for the studies on this all the story is in the literature or in fact if they positioned so listing to this survey will get in touch with me i'll send them some information well they can buy a book

and if a physician who live capturing mosul easy whereas elderly would be the group is saying but i'm willing to look at it right to me you will gets the book and probably a lot more lemony hyperactive that you get a lot more i'll guarantee you get the convenience probably get a copy these connection growing and not only to doctors guest is terence probably are they similar and don't have the money you probably didn't look we have another book it there we'll have given modern copies of these books to this little foundation and jackson we give all aided people to professional teachers and others they'll parlors and this is about how to write books i remember running across these connection you came on the program we talked about a lot of well let's see it's a wonderful a theory and it's catching on as some following and next thing i know i'm in new

york going through the airport and as you might imagine i'm going to buy three four five newspapers and they're facing is our rack of these connections and they're now more than a million copies on a hyperactive children do you estimate there are immunized eight figures in the journal american medical association in the night team eighty eight they were talking about the use of ritalin using double every seven years between seventy one and eighty seven and five point nine six percent of all of the elementary school children in baltimore county maryland with taking medication now if you figure that maybe that prices many are not taking medication this would be about ten percent of people's estimates about five percent levy bring in another turn out of that hyperactivity the attention deficit disorder the shorter well as were the thing to say at the outset i actually stop an apparent son and teachers hyperactive and

those who are ineffective yet what's acronym for that well they call it adhd the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder now the names the terminology changed over the last twenty five years and night teens sixty seven eight national conference sponsored by the government they call it minimal brain dysfunction that these are children to a perfectly intelligent who don't pay attention we don't do well in school who may or may not be hyperactive but the ethanol hearing no motivation good pass good teachers but they simply don't cut the mustard so to speak and what i'm saying is in my experience in treating over two thousand of these children over a period of thirteen years that at least three hour for their most sensitive to foods and many of them all you have to do is a very simple change in about the nativity stories out on a

bus i'm driving over america's two years ago the driver of the bus the dutch if you don't know me and i never got my child you when i picked up your book tracking down our little girl three years old would not sleep she was irritable she was overactive and we did not know what to do with them yes what it was one in part she was drinking three glasses a day in the red dirt and oil and punched one of the stories in this book is the novel girl all of autism often an involved who was expelled from kindergarten at the age of five and she did a one week got it was male pajama driving of everyday she had problems with milk as a young infant so my main clique to the pediatrician is to look at this possibility in this book make it easy right now since your free copy of the book you're really glad to do so it doesn't solve all a problem but it will solve them

on a lot of the really interesting thing to me if you really become a sore pied piper and you come in the studio today and along with yukon three mothers iran was no well when you have a story like this of one mother and brother chowder me sixteen years ago who had been through all the fancy tests at vanderbilt and elsewhere with a pervasive developmental disorder with autistic type palaces and now just graduated from college that make you know that has done us feel like the man sitting on the side of a road in the country on the front porch about the only radio watching the cars go by and i see a man come out of the woods call up somebody like a mob run the car in the river and i went to the police station and they got the playstation says our doctor can you prove that method novice art

is olivia de prove it was the apple pay attention so i go back to see the same thing the next day and the next day and the next day and so i say please listen to the show the league wheat robbery at haha and now so what a lot of them are you know people buy my books and fat talk to the public i'm talking to the breastfeeding mothers in miami for these i've taught everyone of the conferences since nineteen seventy seven so people from tennessee hear what i have to say and they call me up and walk on the city that i'm not taking new patients there are few positions they wanted to know all mention his name him every prominent from pediatrician been using mud that for a long long time and he believed in it even got some a maverick branson poem on the bulletin board and andy's options but a lot of them they just say well we dont in this book though

you acted dealing with the questions about early on you then broadened the scope and utah in a pretty meaningful way about improving the environment right for the job right now that such a queue outside the medicine but they're about well i make a physician about a christie taught me you way back in the fifties anything i'm concerned of the pandas of concern to the position and it also said that more babies lives were saved in the south about electric refrigeration then by all the doctors and hospitals and they're so it's now become clear that in homes where pot smoker join have twice as many inspections and that brings me a chance to bring up these connection i tried to do a study from the arctic are all the nineteen eighty seven found that the children had

repeated ear infections were three and i have turned more apt to become hyperactive and a control group they said we don't allow this is so juana what's driving that studies the child with repeated ear infections take than about drones and about its well knocking out the ear infections are not terribly friendly germs in the gut the baby may get russia diary about the same he's promote food allergies and so that promote cyber activity we're working very hard to get somebody to do some studies on this just got something from st jude hospital in memphis three weeks ago they were fleeing rats a guinea pig shriver and the ones who got sugar narration compared to know sure two hundred times greater growth of the east omran givers deduct important to build and ask him to follow up on it well these these environmental factors you say things like reduce pollutants usa spent more quality time we get there and you

say give psychological support i say work with a teacher on the program and work with a medical doctor on a program for all of those elements it's so intimate and they knew ellie also in the book are small friends us more foes it can be done these financial up tracking allergies of sideshows of jokes so the sense of a song repetition here but there also is but it seems to me and that for us and that you're saying beyond the diet us now look at the environment and our good man in many things at the study the court of the book in nineteen seventy five a california doctor did some i'd like two children and this had the parents holy and whole him and pat him and you know are as somali youth robocall touching you touch one of the

chemicals called endorphins you judge perimeters you touch old people so these children need padding and touching this is one more thing what i'm trying to say they have not a quick fix you can't do that got one week and still acknowledge are not spend time with him smoke in the house and pull out of insecticides and so forth you get older place a child in school if you have a child who is in school held himself and he gets precise and fostered you do so in a comprehensive problem but what you're doing is preventing juvenile delinquency and dropouts and many other things to rely most valuable resource and i know all the answers to many things and prevention at an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of well that some people might listen to say aha really staking out a little insurance on the diet the diadem or maybe its food and survival and sorrow quality time

you're back at all about you know the diving if you go to die you can find root causes and many many here in a high percentage of the guesses that she'll face yeah that's right that it that is a simple thing to do that all these other things are not unique with me and i haven't modeled works on another book but we put in simple terms i realised pass a stress today sixty percent among those was through its georgia working and i don't see how they get the job done that they do the teachers a stressed out of blame the teachers got it it's a little like they're taken to the bottom the boxes are stressed they got forty people also the phone call on old line of riding out a prescription for ratliff and i'm not knocking this medication is a very useful medication but the long term prognosis of children who only get drugs who'd underlying problem in salt is dismal we

cite this in the book that in a study published in it dr zhao an adolescent psychiatry that the children who only got growth very ten to twenty times greater chance of ending up in jail and even though they got drugs and counseling that much more vandalism and much more that much more marijuana much more now so i just i read the book and in a professional teacher who want more information can write to me who are paid are posted now send them a copy of the book i gave it all of your listeners but any professional very quickly and then just you know one of the things that i am that i like about your presentation is you have developed i'm like the family physician to develop a rhetoric that is easily understood utah in this book about allergy terrible things which is

in kenya down angrier is bound to come and find out what our goals are and i'm fascinated by your ability of non medical terms to make a medical point where if you're going to communicate that deep inside me years ago it was in medical school we had a professor luke a man and lecture tours no pictures no charts in even five eight a cap was almost like discourse and i wrote a column for fifteen years so i'm used to dealing with the public view of patients' you got to be understood it don't matter how smart you are how much i actually have it fit in and you know you know this year in journalism why the usa today put all sorts of colors and pictures you know was a tennessee end of the picture well i mean i think that all newspapers not trying to find new ways to reach out to the jury does that you're returning the mall i it's a very very difficult an electronic society to promote the

report barra does seem to me that book as has served as great read that you know i'm primarily because it does as you say keep well let me ask about this you tell me now you're taking no patients no new patients die on with the fewer men's lives around few believers in your theories can you really afford to abdicate the field practice died aged seventy three and three quarters and have more people by educating my peers and teachers than others and i can or a one to one basis seeing patients i still see occasional patients now last seen patients that i could call myself i would see a bunch of facts right in this audience is a lady who has an autistic child has already gotten

boston lock up to by male ot and i see a few and consultation but my main purpose is to help people and to get across thing that i've known about it and discover these things have known about for thirty years and you know you just you just have to keep on keeping on for the things you believe in as well let me ask him your doctor with great ease parents while experience who has come for relatively small town what the theory that no one would listen to it the outset or if you would listen to it and you have we must send a person out in force a will start a major national controversy you acknowledge that the theories remain controversial what us to become of the medical profession if it continues to

move in lockstep with tradition that seems to me that the problem selling this theory is that the profession you sir we've gotten out of the profession after the profession user out really isn't willing to be unsafe wrong the law and in some cases really unwilling to research if it attacks on all well as it is he says the program ball for another day but i think the public can make a difference i think i think the critique and that's a predicament not even a doctor in the nineteen seventies that if you eat less fat and more complex products while your heart disease now all of those things are adopted and maybe when i my and my knees while a lot of the things that i'm talking about that would be just all get bad about cause the truth

will out i mean you cannot bear it and the people who know these truths to be true i will make the academic professors are what happens when one of the thousands or the grandchild who gets better when they chanted outside the death valley no family the offer of help for the hyperactive child as ben our guest unaware downwards featuring jon seaton dollar this program was produced in the studios of wbez and television nashville tennessee fb
