Dear Jane,  It's interesting that you mention the research from the
"Friends of Bill W."  I happen to be one of them.  I'm also a counselor,
and although I'm qualified in Mental Health in general, my specialty is
Chemical Dependency.  ADHD and ADD appears to be a common factor in
about 80% of the male population of treatment centers.  Several
companies have marketed dietary suppliments directly targeting
alcoholics and cocaine addicts.  These suppliments provide the "building
blocks" for certain neurotransmitters that this population either
genetically lacks or has damaged production due to their chemical use.
The case studies I have mentioned are being checked; and a friend of
mine in family practise (an M.D.) and myself are looking to do some
studies along these lines.  The passionflower/chamomile compound also
seems to relieve some of symptoms that are associated with panic
attacks.  This makes sense, since the parts of the brain and the
neurotransmitters involved are interrelated.  I'll be glad to share
information as I get it.          Rod
