of Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder
PhosADD Australia
describes here the pioneering work of German research scientist and pharmacist Hertha Hafer: More than 30 years ago Hafer observed how excess phosphate in the human body caused serious mineral deficiencies and imbalances, triggering ADD/ADHD and leading to a host of other health problems. A phosphate-reduced diet led to dramatic
improvements in Hafer's son's difficult behaviour, well-being and school performance, making medication unnecessary. Her son had few problems as long as he was able to avoid foods high in phosphate. Phosphate is a very common and highly versatile food additive. As the food industry has increased its use over the years, ADD/ADHD has also became more prevalent, reaching pandemic proportions today. ADD/ADHD is a problem confined predominantly to the Western culture: Western diets are phosphate-rich. Although phosphate is an essential mineral, important for healthy bones, teeth and skin, by eating today's food we take in much more than our bodies can actually use. For almost thirty
years thousands
of families in Europe have been following Hafer's recommendations and have been rewarded
with normal, manageable, lovable, happy and sometimes highly performing children. We have gathered here a wealth of information including other articles and supportive evidence. And you can view and order - if you wish - through this site the English translation of Hafer's book. "In many ways this site is outstanding, it has a treasure of excellent info. I am glad to refer patients to!" Please enter our site and please also feel welcome to contact us:
Hafer's recommendations are for adults affected by ADD/ADHD too.
Researchers in various parts of the world are beginning to verify Hafer's observations - that the consumption of coke can cause osteoporosis for example - and new scientific evidence supports many of her findings.
