[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 57858, member: 1514"] I know nothing about the diet but I can tell you that I have an ADHD success story using medication. He is now an adult who will be 23 tomorrow. He was on ritalin from age 4 to 14. This is the one who I call Jamie in my profile. Jamie is purely ADHD. He was never a behavior problem outside the impulsive issues that arise from not thinking through his actions. He stopped medications when he entered high school because his goal in life was to go into the United States Marine Corps and he knew he had to be medication free for 4 years prior to that time. He successfully completed his 4 year tour as a Military Policeman this past February. He received many commendations and awards during his time in service. He is now an Animal Control Officer in upper Virginia. He loves his job and has already received a promotion. He is expecting his first baby any day now. He is responsible and mature. He never calls us to bail him out of situations. He lives 5 hours from us and handles himself and his life completely on his own although he is always here for us in a nanosecond if I call him. He has turned out to be the most perfect son I could ask for. For just 23 years old, I think he is doing an amazing job and I give much of the credit to his time in the Marines. [/QUOTE]
