HOME The Hyperactive Children s support Group hopes that this website will serve as The Group has helped thousands of children over the years Our work with schools. http://www.hacsg.org.uk/
Extractions: HOMEPAGE Contact Us Updates Our Team Links An Introduction WELCOME TO THE HACSG HOMEPAGE! The Hyperactive Children's Support Group is a registered charity which has been successfully helping ADHD/Hyperactive children and their families for over 25 years. The HACSG is Britain's leading proponent of a dietary approach to the problem of hyperactivity. In 1987 the HACSG, with the support of Dr.Neil Ward, Senior Lecturer in Chemistry at the University of Surrey and the group's Scientific Director, found that, out of a total of 357 children who had been diagnosed as hyperactive, 87% had adverse reactions to artificial colourings and 72% to artificial preservatives in food. Similar results were discovered in 1993 at the Institute of Child Health, and as long ago as 1987 a Scottish psychiatrist, Dr. Ian Menzies, obtained consistently positive results in treating hyperactive children by removing artificial additives from their diet. Similarly, a recent report published by the Food Commission confirms that studies involving 277 children on the Isle of Wight have shown food additives to be a major cause of misconduct in children. The Hyperactive Children's Support Group hopes that this website will serve as a useful tool for all those parents and health professionals who believe that the use of drugs to treat this difficult problem (which seems to be affecting more and more children) should be a last, rather than first, resort. The Group has helped thousands of children over the years since its foundation in 1977 and has substantial documentary evidence, supported by scientific studies, which show that a dietary and nutritional approach to ADHD/Hyperactivity is well worth trying.
Extractions: When invited, we send teams of volunteers into areas of repression and conflict. The volunteers accompany human rights defenders, their organizations and others threatened by political violence. Perpetrators of human rights abuses usually do not want the world to witness their actions. The presence of volunteers backed by a support network helps to deter violence. We create space for local activists to work for social justice and human rights.
