All naturopathic doctors find the exact opposite of what the American Psychiatric Association states publicly concerning attention deficit disorder.

Dietary suggestion:
- Eliminate all refined carbohydrates and processed food containing dyes, additives, etc.
- Use only pure water for cooking and drinking. No well water and tap water containing fluorine or chlorine.

Treatment with ADHD drugs help to control the ADHD symptoms, only to cover up or suppress the actions of the individual. This approach does not address the cause of ADD, which is an imbalance in the function of the brain and the nervous system. The natural approach looks at the cause and attempts to heal the functions of these systems. Consistent ADHD drug treatment will suppress the person with ADHD to mold their functions to an accepted manor in school, at work, and in social situations.
Treatment for ADHD is multifaceted. Medical treatment can consist of ADHD behavioral modification therapy. Treatment should be tailored to meet the unique needs of the child or adult who has ADHD as well as the needs of the family.
