Are allergies causing your children to misbehave?

Doris J. Rapp, M. D., is a board-certified environmental medical specialist and pediatric allergist. She believes that foods and various substances in the environment cause many of the behavior problems experienced by children. Mold allergy symptoms, for example, can look exactly like many serious physical and behavioral problems. Dr. Rapp has produced several DVDs featuring children displaying typical behaviors she has encountered in her clinical practice. Dramatic changes in behavior follow removal of food and environmental allergen agents. Your child may not need Ritalin or a psychologist after all.
