Press Release Body: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chesterton, IN - March 27, 2008 - Many of the 5 million children currently using
attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drugs may not have ADHD. Instead,
these children might have food allergies, food sensitivities, nutritional
deficiencies and other diet related issues.

Each year doctors prescribe potentially dangerous psycho-stimulant drugs to millions
of children, based only on the symptoms of excessive fidgeting, impulsivity and
concentration difficulties.

"Diet is a key factor that is often overlooked when a child is evaluated for
attention and behavior problems," said Christine Abraham, who spent the past decade
researching ADHD and alternatives to treating the disorder.

Abraham, like many parents of ADHD children, felt uneasy about ADHD drugs when her
son was diagnosed in 1998. The pediatrician insisted that drug therapy was the only
effective treatment for the disorder that affects an estimated 3 to 5 percent of
children. Abraham believed otherwise.

Thus began Abraham's quest for better information. Abraham sifted through scientific
studies and medical journals. She interviewed dieticians, herbalists and
naturopaths.

"I found a surprising amount of scientific evidence that shows a direct and absolute
correlation between diet and ADHD," Abraham said.

Armed with the information culled from this research, Abraham developed "ADHD
Alternative Diets,\" a compilation of scientifically proven ADHD diet techniques.

\"As parents, we want to give our children the best edge for success and the best
defense against failure. We want to do right by our children,\" Abraham said.
"Changing the diet by eliminating offending foods and adding brain-boosting foods is
one of the kindest and most healthy ways to treat ADHD.\"

Artificial food dyes, flavors and preservatives can cause behavioral and
neurological reactions that mimic the symptoms of ADHD in sensitive children. The
ADHD alternative diet plan eliminates highly processed foods and in their place adds
brain-boosting foods rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and Omega 3 fatty
acids.

\"Make this change and you will notice a significant drop in your child\'s behavioral
problems,\" Abraham said.
