This is a call for help in case anyone out there knows anything or can
refer me to any references relating infant feeding patterns to the
following disorders:
Attention disorders
autism
hyperactivity
learning disabilities
Tourette Syndrome
I have been asked to join the Advisory Board of a newsletter called
Latitudes, published by the Alternative Therapy Network which seems to
provide valuable information and alternatives for people whose children
have not benefited from the more traditional approaches. (They can be
contacted at fax number +1 (407) 798-9820 if anyone is interested.) I had
intended to try to put together a review article on for them, but Medline
from 1966 to the present failed to turn up anything relating infant feeding
to these disorders. (I know the literature on iodine and iron deficiencies
and learning disorders and on breastfeeding and IQ.)
Can anyone out there help?
