The ADD and ADHD diet by Bell and Peiper

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.

When you've been diagnosed and don't want drugs

This book advises that once you have been diagnosed with ADD by a physician, you should educate yourself as to alternatives before starting drug treatment. I was very glad to find that many other things mimic ADD and kids actually may not have ADD. This book took me through a step by step procedure to eliminate triggers that may cause symptoms. I am glad that someone finally realized that kids (and adults too) need alternative choices to drugs. I firmly believe that we are all different and some of us respond to drug therapy without complications, but to put a child on drugs without first determining if they really have the illness is criminal. If your doctor can't tell you what is causing the ADD, then do more research. This book will help.

Doctors don't always know best

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.

excellent alternative to giving children drugs

I highly recommend this book to all teachers, doctors and parents. I am very grateful to the authors.

A good book, informative, alternate solution and a choice.

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.
