Amino Acids and Diet: Two Recent ADHD Studies
We have long held the opinion that the symptoms of ADHD could be lessened, and perhaps fully treated, by the use of amino acids and the help of specific ADD diets. Now two studies, one from Italy and the other from Norway, give more support for our position that prescription medications, particularly stimulants, are not the only effective ADHD treatments available.
The study from Italy looked at the effectiveness of just one amino acid in a population of ADHD children are well known as poor responders to stimulant treatment – children with Fragile X syndrome and ADHD............................................
ADHD and Diet: Restrict Milk
The second study had to do with diet as a treatment intervention for ADHD. It seems that at least a small group of children with ADHD, perhaps ten percent or so, have a particular type of protein imbalance that may be contributing to a child’s ADHD symptoms, or may be causing that child’s ADHD problem entirely.
