General Notes From Dr Reading on Common Conditions:

Dr Reading was Australia's first orthomolecular/nutritional psychiatrist who recently retired. Below are some of his notes for treatment on common conditions.

Common to Dr Readings belief was that 'leaky gut conditions' such as celiac or latent celiac disease, and food allergies are a major contributor most mental illnesses and autoimmune diseases. Many people with mental illness have benefited from following his  Hypoallergenic/ mental illness Diet until the condition of their gut has been improved and allergic tendencies reduced. In addition Dr Reading always recommends high doses of B Vitamins and Minerals to make up for resulting malabsorption of required nutrients.

Hypo-allergenic Diet:

Common irritants and food allergies should be avoided in many illnesses to achieve optimum health. This diet and avoidance list has may used for conditions such as arthritis, mental illness and more by Dr Reading for many years.
