Lots of information and insight into contributing factors and natural treatments for symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity along with many other chronic conditions. The premise is that it is often diet related.
I'm now avoiding any form of MSG that I can identify and have been able to reduce my headaches based on information I found in this book.
Great food for thought here.

The look of the book screams "self-published" and the authors have no real credentials. (The doctor is an optometrist, not a mental health professional.) Further, the tone of the book is alarmist and the recommendations are far-fetched. A much better resource is Dr Ed Hallowell's Delivered from Distraction (or his earlier books, Driven to Distraction or Answers to Distraction.) Don't waste your time or money on this one.

ok book that provides a good overview of nutritional needs for people with add/adhd. however, i found a more thorough, reputable resource in the a.d.d. nutrition solution by marcia zimmerman, c.n. if you want more in-depth info, that's the place to look for it.
