FWIIW, I think there was mention in a few of the diet ideas on line that suggest caffine.
Evidently, if you check with a helpful druggist,
there is a comparison .. x amount of coffee will have a speed impact like x amount of simulant med.
While it is interesting, and really not a surprise to anyone who has used coffee to wake up and function,
there are no studies as yet on diet and its impact on adhd in large enough clinical trials to give solid infor.
There is a study being started in the UK, diet and supplements on trial groups of psych students.
I saw a note about the study on one of hte adhd sites, nothing has started and of course it will be a
while before there are results.
Frankly, experimenting with tea and coffee is a bit of a crap shoot.
There was a report about stims being good for some adhd types but
there is nothing hard and fast about drug and kid .. too many variables i would guess.
Dr. Barckley has a website and lots of current information; that is where i would start.
Until you know fairly certainly what the kid has and what treatment would be best, it seems
a bit of a crap shoot to do it your self. I don’t think drugs are evil, but not sure they are necessary.
But then, I am one of those people who decided that I would not try
lucy in the sky with diamonds until way after so that i’d know what the risks were
