9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A woman in the UK who claims to have "been terrified of vegetables for more than 40 years" is now saying that she is on the path to curing her fear. The fear, known as lachanophobia, had been with 61-year old Krissie Palmer-Howarth since she was just 17. Since its onset, she says that she has not been capable of smelling vegetables or even speaking their names aloud without feeling sick. After a session of hypnotherapy, she can now stand near them without incident.
This treatment could be applied to others with food phobias, or even to picky eaters. Children aren't eating their broccoli? Stop by the hypnotherapy clinic on the way home from school.
And perhaps a similar treatment could help the poor people we saw earlier this year, whose fear of mustard and pickles was ruining their lives. Maury would probably air it as a followup episode, though it's hard to imagine more captivating TV than the original.

As he is getting older, (he is now 4 1/2) it is getting better. One area that is affected by this is his sense of taste and smell. Very heightened. He too has a very limited diet because of this. He is able to sit at the same table during dinner most of the time but may gag at the sight or smell of some foods. He is also at the point were he wants to try new things at times because his favorite cousin will eat many things. CHOP has a program that helps in this area so that he will be able to sit at the lunch table when he goes to school. Maybe you should check into this.
