Symptoms:
A physical problem. The child's eyes actually see the letters backward, as compared to the normal child's eyes.


Cause:
Dyslexia is sometimes called hyperactivity (which see), but there is a partial difference. Dyslexia is a complex syndrome rather than a specific disease.

In some instances, a true organic or biochemical brain injury has occurred. But most of the time, the problem is more easily treatable.

Food allergies are often a key problem.

Treatment:
• Food allergies should be located and eliminated. Food sensitivities can produce learning disabilities, which may appear to have organic origin.

• Beware of sugar, wheat, milk products, possibly certain other grains, and meat. In one or more (often several) of these may lie the problem.

• Carry out pulse tests (which see), to determine possible causes, and eliminate offending foods.

• Taking hydrochloric acid (betaine HCl) and digestive enzymes may be necessary for a time.
