If that is what worked for you and your kid, great. It is not a dietary problem in all cases and your saying that it is myth is not helping at all.
My son is a diabetic and therefore does not eat a lot of the "bad" foods people talk about. He has ADHD and his mother and I will do whatever it takes to help him. If that is meds, OK. If that is changes elseware. then OK.
ADHD is NOT a hoax.

Our bodies are nothing but chemical factories. I agree that if you don't need to medicate, you shouldn't.
I feel for the author. I will not argue about if ADD or ADHD exisits or not. There are some of us who have problems dealing with certain societal conformities. For some of us this manifested in Grade or High School for other it was a some other time.
Dealing with our inability can take on many forms. For some of us it is medication. I have used caffeine as my medication of choice. I have never gotten a caffeine buzz that most caffeine users get. I can drink an entire pot of coffee and other than more frequent trips to the bathroom sleep like a baby. For me caffeine provides a means of staying on task when I am dealing with the administrivia of my job.
If I need to be at all creative, I drastically cut down or eliminate my caffeine use.
Other people use Ritalin or some other substance. It is critial to understand that for many of us these drugs do not cause the same effects as non-ADD folks.
The various form of "speed" (Dexidrine et al) do not "amp" ADD folks up.
The bottom line is for each person to find what works for them. If some change in lifestyle (diet, etc.) works for you, then great. If some drug or combination works for you then great, too.
Let those of us who have it or are the parents of someone who has it make our own decisions on what make us successful. Everyone else should stop "pontificating" and leave us alone.
The current level of Mechanic Certification and Beauty Salon licenses have come about by codifying some minimum levels in fields that have established Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master education and OJT programs.
These programs were set up by the practioners of these fields initially. They were and still are enforced via Union contracts that stipulate how many of each level must be hired.
Without the Computer Repair Technicians creating these programs. These certifications only mean that you knew enough to pass a test. It doesn't mean that you have spent x amount of time as an Apprentice Computer Repair Tech or y amount of time as a Journeyman.
John was not a liberal at college (Vanderbilt University 1976-1980) but was very anti-gun. I and others had some heated debates with him abount the merits of responsible gun ownership in a free society.
John's later analyis proved out many of the points that came out in these debates.
John's book should not be dismissed out of hand and should be read by "both sides" of the gun debate.
CO2 from the atmosphere enters the earh's oceans in the artic. Utimately, the carbon ends up as part of shells in the form of calcium carbonate via the ocean's Carbonic Acid cycle.
I guess nobody takes oceanography in college any more. I remember this from nearly 20 years ago.
wrong analogy: while bridges are not the preferred method of communication among civil engineers, Blue-prints are. Computer source code is a blue print, pure and simple. With a blue-print and the appropriate tools (hammers, etc.) someone can make a bridge. With computer source code and the appropriate tools (compilers, etc.) someone can make a computer program.
Both Blue-Prints and Computer source code are the textual (and graphical) representations of technical specificatin design to fulfill user requirements. and as such they are nothing but speech.
The was the first "TRANS-OCEANIC" telesurgery. Read the article more carefully.
Telesurgery, while relatively new, is done a a number of centers in the US and Europe.
It is an amazingly effective method to bring surgical expertise to areas that don't have such expertise.
It actually is not as expensive as as people might think. IN the long run this will be one of the most inexpensive ways of performing many surgical procedures.
Actually, IT IS for civilian use. Most surgery in war zones is not done endoscopically. Combat surgery is done "Open" (ie, use a scalpel and move internal tissues around. While there may be cool applications like warzones and space, the real will be for rural hospitals.
It is important everyone to really read the article. The was the 1st "trans-oceanic" telesurgery not the 1st telesurgery.
Actually is is very useful. Many small rural hospitals do not have the money to hire the best surgeons, however a group of hospitals in conjungtion with a teaching hospital could purchase this equipment and move it from hospital to hospital as needed and the surgeons at the teaching hospital could perform the surgery remotely. A "Lap Chole" as discribed in the article in usually out-patient surgery. Some instead of traveling hundreds for miles with a day or more lost time this could be done at the patients local hospital. Everyone is helped. BTW, you don't need much more that a few ISDN lines for all the information flowing back and forth.
This is very real and is in fact a very economical way of doing mimimally invasive surgery.

You might want to give Concerta a try.
Sorry, Your body does not know the difference between a "artificial" trans-fatty acid and a "healthy" fatty-acid.
Your body runs on chemical processes that does not discriminate between an artificial fat and a natural fat. These chemical processes are the same.
