What Is My Mother Doing to Me?

Childhood was different for me. I had humongous problems with attention, energy and heartburn. I found out I had ADHD when I was given stimulant medication - a pill that is like supercharged coffee. When the side effects of the medication outweighed the benefits, I was thrown in the world of biomedical interventions sometimes used for autistic kids. Gone were my days of Cocoa Puffs, McDonalds and candy bars. But I really felt like a Gen-Next pediatric experiment when I lost wheat and dairy - two staples of the food pyramid - from my diet. In its place I was repaid with more pills to swallow then a senior citizen. What was my mother doing to me? This book is the story of my journey to recovered health.
