Donations
For the past 30 years, Sue has given all proceeds of her books and talks and her fulltime efforts to running the Food Intolerance Network, helped by Howard. As you know, your Network does not receive funding from any industry or lobby group so as to ensure scrupulous independence.
Lately, several people have asked how they can help financially, so we are pleased to acknowledge their assistance here. This will enable us to make more brochures available, to upgrade to colour brochures, maybe to get some professional help with the website and to undertake more extensive lobbying on behalf of all those affected by food. If you want to help, you can post a cheque to Sue Dengate ABN 72 705 112 854, PO Box 718, WOOLGOOLGA NSW 2456.
You can make a donation using Paypal or credit card, any currency. See button on top right.
Thank you for your help.

December 2021: thanks for $10 from Rhonda in USA "I am so grateful to discover the wealth of information on your website. Truly an eureka week and strongly suspect salicylate overload. Why oh why has it taken me so long to discover this? I've not only been throwing more high salicylate "remedies" at my stomach cramps, I was smearing coconut oil on my hives! Mint is in everything, too. Oh God it's everywhere!"

August 2021: thanks so much to long-term failsafer Anne Hurman who donated $100. "Being on the failsafe diet gave me so much knowledge around food and I need to thank you for that, and for many years of calm kids. Your research, recipes, books and friendship have been a big part of our lives."
May 2021: $40 from Sarah UK who said "Thank you so much for all the hard work you do".
January 2021: $100 from Lisa who said "I would like to say thank you for what you and Sue, and all those who assist you, do. Since listening to Sue speaking at the Fedup Roadshow in Clare in 2013 our family has been avoiding the colours, flavours, preservatives, synthetic antioxidants & flavour enhancers listed as problematic, and boy do we know when we stray!! It's not easy to keep up with so I rely constantly on the information you provide in your shopping list re additives in foods. It is always kept up to date, and problems/changes noted. I'd be lost without your resources. There must be so many people like myself who you never hear from, who follow silently, but whose lives you have changed. So, THANK YOU!

I have referred many people to your website over the past few weeks and have become completely absorbed by the success stories. I can't help but wonder if more people were aware that their irritability/aggression might be linked to food additives and was avoidable, might we see an end to road rage?!"
