Holistic Solutions - Nutrition and Lifestyle Counseling

I don’t believe in semantics. I believe in symptoms and in treating the symptoms.
I believe in creative solutions.

ADHD has been misunderstood for many years. Children were judged and critized for behavioral problems. Parents of these children were judged and criticized as having poor parenting skills. With more awareness this stigma is slowly disappearing.

Wonderful!

Symptoms vary from one person to another and are usually treated with prescription drugs. Not so wonderful: the cost, the side-effects, the possibility of abusing the drugs.

Solution: Could it be as simple as diet modification to lesson the severity of ADHD symptoms? Could diet modification possibly lower the dosage for prescription drugs needed in more extreme cases of ADHD? Could diet modification possibly eliminate the necessity for prescription drugs in the less severe or borderline cased of ADHD?

Wouldn’t this be wonderful?

I believe it’s possible.
