Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book Why your Child is Hyperactive Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective
