JS>You have offered no evidence that a disproportionate number of people with
JS>AD(H)D are from families with a history of alcoholism: you have merely
JS>asserted that a certain percentage is (and you didn't even specify the
JS>percentage).  With alcoholics making up 9% of the population (as I heard 
thi
JS>morning on the news), any child has around a 17% chance that at least one
JS>parent will be an alcoholic (if I remember my statistics correctly).
Your figures are inacurate.  Alcoholics and their families make up
closer to around 30% of the total population, and the percentage of
children with ADHD from such families in one study by Dr. Terry Neher
was around 33%.
I am including those who have a background for alcoholism, genetic
alcoholism, who may not be drinking for one reason or another.  The 9%
figure is much, much too low for that.
I have also provided references in medical journals and publications.
I am constantly aware that many professionals will do anything to avoid
going back to school or attend lectures and seminars to learn new
information.  THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS and should be kept from seeing
patients at all cost.
Worse are those who have no background at all in medicine who think
they are experts.
