An on-line support group for families who are implementing the Feingold Program instead of (or in addition to) medication to treat their children's emotional, behavioral, and physiological special needs.

This list provides the opportunity to communicate with others using the Feingold Program. Membership in the Feingold Association is not required.

The Feingold Program focuses on eliminating artificial additives which include the following: artificial colorings or dyes, flavorings, Aspartame (Nutrasweet, an artificial sweetener), the preservatives BHT, BHA, and TBHQ and certain salicylates from the diet and the child's environment.

This group is not sponsored by or in any way affiliated with the Feingold Association, other than the fact that many of us are members of FAUS. To get more information about The Feingold Association of the United States (FAUS) go to www.feingold.org or call the office at (800) 321-3287.

Feingold Kids featured on our yahoo groups home page are just like everyone else's kids...active, happy, and fun-loving. Check back frequently to see more FG Kids in Action!
