“There are two objects of medical education: to heal the sick and to advance the science.”
- Dr. Charles H. Mayo, MD
“The glory of medicine is that it is always moving forward, that there is always more to learn.”
- Dr. William J. Mayo

Is this any way to take care of the health of a nation?
3.4 Billion Prescriptions 307
million People
• 3.4 billion prescriptions are written every year 1
• 307 million people in US2
• $630 billion to top 12 pharmaceutical companies (profits!) 3
• The majority are due to “silent syndromes” and modifiable disease risk factors.1. Ukens C. How mail order pharmacy gained in market share in 2003. Drug Topics Mar 22, 2004; 148. 2. U.S.

Triadic model of thinking about diagnosis or treatment puzzles
• PSYCHODYNAMIC - what makes a patient the way he/she is?– (what makes them act &/or respond as they
do?)
• FUNCTIONAL - what are some of the underlying physiologic processes which may be pathogenic?
• IMMUNOLOGIC - what are the subtle manifestations of food allergies & sensitivities?

How not to get overwhelmed in this presentation:
![Page 6: Food allergies](https://reader038.fdocument.pub/reader038/viewer/2022103001/557cc815d8b42a43438b4b5a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Stanley E. Greben, MD• Some therapists stand out as uniquely
effective.
• Academics are no better.
• “Every potential therapist must have a floor and a ceiling to his therapeutic capacity.”
• Some gifted therapists are able to say why they succeed; others can’t explain it. “A great deal of what they do ‘right’ is intuitive.”
“On Being Therapeutic” [Canadian Psychiatric Association Journal. Vol. 22(1977) 371-380.

Greben’s “Seven Habits”• Empathy & concern
• Warmth
• Interaction
• Ability to arouse hope
• Expectation of improvement
• “Not to despair”
• Reliability & Friendliness
*Requires clinical depth and breadth of knowledge

Psychodynamics 101
• Patients can be vexing.• Diagnostic impasses provoke narcissistic angst.• Frustrated clinicians do not relate well with
patients.• The more tools and capabilities one has, the
greater the freedom, the options, and the ability to positively impact the patient.
• The greater the success, the better the patient feels, the doctor feels, and the doctor-patient relationship feels.
• The converse, worrisomely, also exists.

Actions and downstream effects
• Direct action of antibodies:– Agglutination, precipitation, neutralization,
lysis
• Downstream effects: complement activation:– Lysis, opsonization/phagocytosis, chemotaxis,
agglutination, neutralization of viruses, INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS

ADHD Diagnosis
– Symptoms present before age 7 years
– Impairment from symptoms present in 2 or more settings
– Significant social, academic, or occupational impairment
– Exclude other mental disorders

Food Allergies and ADHD in the Literature
• Get “THE THINKER” illustration•Food allergies presumed to be related to ADHD•Before 1976 – No known relationship between FA and ADD•1976 – IgE reactivity + food allergies = decreased IQ•1985 – d/c of antigenic foods = ADHD improvement •1993 – more confirmation •1994 – some kids that got better on diet did NOT have IgE reactivity•2003 – evidence mounting for non-IgE sensitivities related to food allergies]•2002 – 2011 Pelsser LM et al – SIX published papers (European and Dutch literature, cf: www.pubmed.gov). •66 papers, at present – 8/19/2011
![Page 19: Food allergies](https://reader038.fdocument.pub/reader038/viewer/2022103001/557cc815d8b42a43438b4b5a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Millman, et al – the groundbreaking article
• “Allergy & Learning Disabilities in Children” – Annals of Allergy, 1976 [36:3, 149-160.]
• “The allergic tension-fatigue syndrome observed by Speer”– “A symptom complex accepted by many allergists.”
• Food allergies established by scratch testing or intradermal injections
• Positive correlation between [IgE] food allergies and IQ scores.
–The more the food allergies, the lower the IQ scores.
![Page 20: Food allergies](https://reader038.fdocument.pub/reader038/viewer/2022103001/557cc815d8b42a43438b4b5a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Oligoantigenic diet (w/o testing)
• “Controlled trial of oligoantigenic treatment in the Hyperkinetic Syndrome.” Egger et al. Lancet, March 9, 1985, 540-545.
• No testing performed• Children empirically placed on restrictive diet.
– Two meats, two carb sources, two fruits, one vegetable, water, calcium, vitamins.
• No food allergy symptoms were provoked; ADHD improved.
![Page 21: Food allergies](https://reader038.fdocument.pub/reader038/viewer/2022103001/557cc815d8b42a43438b4b5a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The crossover study – no distinguishing between IgE and IgG
• “Effects of a few foods diet on ADD.” Carter et al, Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1993;69:564-568.
• “Few foods” elimination diet– 59 of 78 children improved.
• “This trial indicates that diet can contribute to behavior disorders in children and that this effect can be shown in a double blind, placebo controlled trial.”
• “The ways in which [this] diet worked remain unclear. Toxic pharmacological, or allergic mechanisms could be involved, and the physiological effects of different foods may vary.”
![Page 22: Food allergies](https://reader038.fdocument.pub/reader038/viewer/2022103001/557cc815d8b42a43438b4b5a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Profound cautions
• “Effects of a few foods diet on ADD.” Carter et al, Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1993;69:564-568 (cont.)
• “The treatment, as applied in this study, has disadvantages. It is a difficult and exacting regimen, which puts a considerable strain on the whole family. It is not yet clear whether modified diets can also be effective…. It may therefore be possible to devise a less restricted diet with similar levels of success.”
• Cady impression: “Shooting in the dark is dangerous.”
![Page 23: Food allergies](https://reader038.fdocument.pub/reader038/viewer/2022103001/557cc815d8b42a43438b4b5a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The appearance of IgG
• “Foods and additives are common causes of ADHD in children.” Boris, et. al. Annals of Allergy, vol.. 72, 1994, 462-468.
• “DBPCF” - “double blind placebo controlled food challenge test”
• 4/19 children who showed improvement with removal of offending foods were non-atopic.
![Page 24: Food allergies](https://reader038.fdocument.pub/reader038/viewer/2022103001/557cc815d8b42a43438b4b5a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“IgE and Non IgE Food Allergy”
• Sabra, et al. Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology 2003;90 (Suppl 3)71-76.
• “The gastrointestinal tract serves not only a nutritive function but also is a major immunologic organ. Although previously thought to be triggered primarily by an IgE mediated mechanism of injury, considerable evidence now suggests that non-IgE mechanisms may also be involved in the pathogenesis of FA (“food allergy”).

Corvaglia, et al 1999
• 3 adult patients found with undiagnosed/untreated celiac disease
• Found by pediatricians who noted family history when child’s medical history obtained.
• Celiac disease diagnosis was MADE in childhood, but diet was stopped due to no more GI symptoms.
• In all three patients, depressive symptoms improved with gluten free diet.

-Migraine has high prevalence – 18%-Allergen-specific IgG in serum of patients REFRACTORY TO TRADITIONAL TREATMENT examined.-IgG antibodies obtained to 108 food allergens measured in 56 patients with migraine and a control group. -Statistically significant differences found between migraine group and control group in number of food allergies.-CONCLUSIONS: “ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OBTAINED, serum IgG Antibodies to common food should be investigated in patients with migraine.”

What I learned; what we can learn
• Think about “the matrix” first.• Functional and immunologic inquiry and
stabilization is a prerequisite for improvement in some cases.– (“You can’t tell by looking.”)
• Psychodynamic errors (“blaming the patient”) can sabotage miraculous progress.
• The human body has marvelous ability to heal itself naturally if given the breathing room to do so.
