Well,
I am an RD and we have in the past used the Feingold diet,
but it's now considered archaic..... It's great for those with true salicylate and dye allergies, but not with ADHD.
With ADHD, it's a brain firing issue. You can actually see the brain pattern differences. Check out the Amen Clinic page, and the ADHD forums etc on the net.

Yes, on the ones actually have a scan.
Few are tested, though. Most just have their behavior analyzed instead of their actual brain impulses.
That's not to say that they can't be helped with the proper diet and nutrients. It worked wonders with the son of some friends.
