On vitamins only (Formula Six)—no anti-allergy treatment. Dena’s case is very interesting as she was found to be suffering from a low-grade glandular fever that had gone undiagnosed for some time. My experience with treating slow learners and under-achievers has taught me that the vitality-sapping effects of low-grade (your doctor will refer to it as sub-clinical) glandular fever is often the cause of slow learning and under-achieving. These low-grade glandular fevers can drag on for years undiagnosed. It’s not surprising then that so many adults are suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The Epstein Barr virus that is involved in many of the cases of CFS also causes glandular fever. The only way to beat glandular fever, as with any viral infection, is to rest, drink plenty of fluid, breathe deeply using the lower lobes of the lungs and take supplementary vitamins and minerals along with a well-balanced diet.

Dena was put on Formula Six only and responded quickly. Her immune vitality rose dramatically and in no time she had fought off the low-grade glandular fever. After four weeks her mother reported that her energy and inquisitiveness had increased significantly, she questioned things a lot more and surprised her mother by choosing to read the advanced and more detailed books her older (Grade 7) sister was reading. At her monthly spelling test she got only eight words wrong out of ninety-five, a major breakthrough. Her artistic skills had improved, with neater writing and better drawings.

Her before and after assessment by the educational psychologist were summarised as follows:

11 July 1988—age 9 years 3 months—Grade 5. Comments: ‘Dena is currently functioning at a Grade 4 level in mathematics.’

Nine months later the same assessment which included the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Short Form), the Woodcock Johnson Mathematical Calculation Test and (he Basic Arithmetic Screening Test, were summarised as follows: Comments: ‘The mathematical tests indicate that Dena has made significant improvement over the last nine months, she is now functioning up to age and grade levels.’

Dena is a typical example of what modern-day diet and living habits are doing to so many. The borderline malnutrition Dena was suffering from lowered her resistance enough for her to contract a low grade glandular fever but not enough to catch a full-blown, easily diagnosed glandular fever. The addition of the Formula Six multi-vitamin and mineral tablet to her everyday diet got rid other glandular fever, giving her the energy to cope with life. I shudder to think how many other borderline malnourished kids there are. Without the addition of dietary supplements these kids will struggle through life denied the chance to reach their full potential as human beings.
