Ever hear of the Feingold Diet?  A couple of mothers around here swear by it. 
 Gave a copy to the daughter with the child who has a seizure disorder and 
got told that she doesn't have time to fix special meals for one member of 
the family, that the school will not honor a request for a special diet, 
etc., etc., etc.
The mothers who swear by it were able to stay at home when their children 
were younger.  They also took away all sugars which my daughter refuses to do 
in her home.
The Feingold regieme is based on getting rid of salycilates.
 MP> All good ideas in general, but totally useless for treating ADHD.
But possibly very useful in treating conditions that sometimes resemble ADHD 
and are not.
