( free of additives, low in
salycilates, amines and flavour enhancers)
"Eating FAILSAFE
foods (Free of Additives and Low In Salicylates, Amines and Flavour
Enhancers) may be useful if you or your children are bothered by mood
swings, PMT, short fuse, oppositional defiance, ADHD, foggy brain,
learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, stomach
aches, bloating, reflux, irritable bowel, ‘sneaky poos’, food cravings,
difficulty falling asleep, night waking, headaches, migraine, asthma,
stuffy or runny nose, frequent ear infections, tinnitus, arthritis,
eczema or restless legs.
Research shows that ¾ of children who improve by changing diet, will
react to the natural chemicals in food. It is difficult to understand
that some natural foods can be a problem for us. Fruit and vegetables
are not what they were 100 years ago – their chemical composition has
been totally changed due to selective breeding and modern processing
techniques. "
