ADHD does exist, but the psychiatric drugs used to treat it often do more harm than good. This discovery sounds promising.

It doesn't help when teachers and doctors label just about anyone with a pulse as having it.

ADHD is real, but its becoming the most overly diagnosed disorder anywhere, if some kid gets out of hand, its automatic that he gets the label.

Children medicated in kindergarten have socialization issues later because their senses are so deadened they fail to notice social cues and proper methods of social interaction while growing up.

ADHD children often do not sleep well and have allergy eyes. Something is going on in the body that is not detected by RAST tests.

University of Florida research has tied milk protein (not lactose) to autistic behaviors in children.

If you have a child who exhibits ADHD behaviors coupled with difficulty achieving deep sleep and the facial appearance of allergies, do yourself a favor. Take them off milk and see your pediatrician about giving the child an anithistamine before bed. Try this for about three months, and I would be willing to bet you will have a different child.

Mrs GBC and I fought this fight. There is much the medical community know but will not tell. We wish we had known 19 years ago what we know now.
