GEORGE LAGERGREN was thinking about Re: ADD Problem and keyed into 
cyberspace:
GL>-=> Quoting Mark Probert to All <=-
GL> MP> NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Psychiatrists are now treating a flood of
GL> MP> adults for attention deficit disorder (ADD), a syndrome often
GL> MP> thought of as a disorder of childhood. 
GL> MP> Once diagnosed, most adult ADD patients turn to Ritalin, a drug
GL> MP> thought to increase levels of the brain chemical dopamine. Many
GL> MP> researchers  believe a shortage of dopamine is behind ADD
GL> MP> behaviors.  
GL>     Mark  -->  A person with ADD would probably be treated
GL>     differently depending on whether person seeks help from a
GL>     natrapathic doctor [ N.D ] verus a medical doctor [ M.D ].
Absolutely. A naturopathic "doctor" would give him something that has no 
effect, and a medical doctor would give the patient, as part of a 
comprehensive treatment protocol, tested and reliable medication.
GL>     A  N.D.  believe an person with ADD can and should be treated
GL>     with  nutrition while a  M.D.  would treat that person  with  
GL>     chemicals.
Right. A naturopathic "doctor" would treat a person who does not have a 
nutritionally based condition with something that is useless. Let me 
give you a clue: to "treat" something nutritionally, requires the 
ingestion of chemicals.
Do you subscribe to the fairy tale that there is something magical or 
mystical in a naturally occurring chemical which is not present in one 
that is manufactured?
GL>     Thus, the debate between natrapathic [ ALTMED ] and allopathic
GL>     medicine.
There is no debate. One works. One doesn't.
To say otherwise is using ALT-LOGIC.
