So you would not give an inhaler to a kid with asthma? In properly diagnoszed cases, it corrects an imbalance that is not affected by diet.

Who said anything about asthma? I'm saying ADD can be controlled by diet.

Some kids have chemical imbalances that diet will not cure. To say all kids with ADD can control it via diet is hogwash. It just may be those kids who benefit from the diet change had allergies to those foods (sugars, food dyes, etc. that represented the symptoms as hyperactivity or decreased attention span.

My point is that some kids need the medicine. to deprive them of the meds they need is akin to depriving an asthma suffer of an inhaler.
