Summary: Good resource
Review: (...)I went through this book marking sections to go back over and re-read. Much of the book is geared toward explaining what A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. is, the symptoms, and possible contributing factors. I could not help but wonder WHY? Anyone looking up information on A.D.D. and/or A.D.H.D. already knows what it is. Chances are they have talked, in depth, to their doctor(s) already. A.D.D. stands for Attention Deficit Disorder. The "H" stands for someone with A.D.D. and has hyperactivity with it. If you are looking for something with A.D.L.D. ("L" stands for a problem with "Learning" instead of a problem with "Hyperactivity".) Then this book is NOT for you. Nothing in this book even remotely touches A.D.L.D. This book is put together to give an idea of how to treat the symptoms of A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. naturally. That does not mean you will successfully treat the disorder by what is in this book. But what parent would not want to read everything they can find on the subject and gain an idea of what else they could possibly do? This book will have you parents saying "Yeah! That is exactly what my child is like! I know exactly what you mean!" I may be a "reviewer" but I only agreed to review this book because my own son is A.D.H.D. Whether you give medication or not, this book is for you! The concerned parent! The one who does not want to miss a chance of helping your child have a better life, now and in the future! This book has been a best seller for a long time. It is revised often, as all good medical non-fictions are. After all, scientists and doctors are learning new things every single day. The public needs to be educated. Here is your chance to BE educated. Do not let it pass! The chapters include: If You Want Something Different, You've Got to Do Something Different.

Summary: A good book, informative, alternate solution and a choice.
Review: Good information to read. It gives a person education on a subject that could influence a treatment for an ADD or ADHD child. It is good to know that medication is not the only choice a parent has for a child's treatment.

Summary: Wish you had a ZERO star rating!
Review: I found most of the information in this book to be very vague and it did not offer any real answers to any of my questions. It touches on so many varying subjects and does not give more than a few paragraphs on any one of them. Of course our air is polluted, of course we can all suffer from different types of allergies, this is common sense, and I for one, was very disappointed that this is all they really had to say. If you are looking for some really good help for your ADD or ADHD child, don't look for it here....

Summary: Doctors don't always know best
Review: I have had experience with many doctors who didn't know anything about treating ADD except offering drugs.Its nice to know that there are some authors who are brave enough to give us information about possible causes and treatments from a natural standpoint. I'm sure there are many physicians who can tell me why my child has ADD, but I'm not sure it really is ADD. This book is a wonderful tool for me to use to try to eliminate the symptoms that resemble ADD, but may not actually be ADD.

Summary: excellent alternative to giving children drugs
Review: I highly recommend this book to all teachers, doctors and parents. I am very grateful to the authors.

Summary: Excellent overview
Review: I took this book out from the library, along with many others, and am returning here to buy it. It is an excellent starting point and overview of available (and mostly effective) alternative therapies, a handy guide for those in need of a quick reference, who may be overwhelmed by the wealth of (contradictory) information on the subject. My advice is too buy this book as well as one of Thom Hartmann's and then take it from there. Don't give up--there's much more out there than Ritalin.

Summary: The ADD and ADHD diet by Bell and Peiper
Review: Many Doctors seem to have limited knowledge in the area of nutrition. This book gives one insight into possible alternatives to traditional medicines. Having family members with multiple allergies, I feel this book shows you other poosiblities. This was a great introduction to ADD and diet options.
