FOOD ALLERGY TREATMENT FOR HYPERKINESIS

Eleven children were treated with a food extract after titration food allergy testing. They remained improved for one to three months while ingesting the foods to which they were sensitive. Five of eight patients completed a double-blind evaluation of the food extract and successfully differentiated the latter solution from two placebo solutions. Two of three children who failed to identify correctly the food extract relapsed when food therapy was discontinued and responded favorably when this therapy was again reinstituted.
