I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, as in only natural treatments or something. I know my younger brother is on a patch for him ADHD. It's relatively new, and you can ask your doctor for a sample of it to try it out for yourself.

If you meant an all-natural alternative to prescription medication than I have heard about dramatic diet changes having positive affects on people with ADHD. If you look up ADHD forums online there are entire forums about it with moms of ADHD kids and people with it themselves explaining it and the success rates with it.

Eliminate high fructose corn syrup, vegetable oil, refined sugar and white flour. Its difficult but if your child was a diabetic ciliac then it'd be necessary. Our bodies are not meant to eat the food that we're marketed in the UK and the USA. Children's bodies are even less capable of handling them and so the blood turns into a dumping ground for the sugar and the starch-becomes-sugar. Which then goes to the brain.

Diet is a better alternative than medicine which can perminately alter brain chemicals.

Adhd Diet Therapy

Hi crunchies4me!

I just finished an ebook that addresses diet therapy for ADHD. Since the site is new, I have few testimonies. I would love to send you a copy of the book, as well the bonus ADHD cookbook in exchange for your honest assessment. Drop me an email and I'll send it right over. I think you will find the information very useful.

Blessings to you,
Christine Abraham

I justed wanted to mention NutritionalTree which independently rates (DOES NOT SELL) nutritional products. See http://www.nutritionaltree.com/reviews/ children/add-adht-products/ for a list of products that they have collected reviews on for ADHD.
