I think it's a gross misdiagnoses of a far more common group of disorders with very simular symptoms. Try Central Auditory Processing Disorders. The symptoms match those of ADD ADHD. But the origin is quite different as is the treatment. Allergies, ear infections, ect is thought to bring on C.A.P.D. This damages the sensory system primarilly the Vestibular System {Inner Ear} which can lead to Cognitive Behavior problems in children and adults.

I would bet as well it is among the leading cause of anxiety disorders in adults but the doctors have forgotten their stuff and simply look over Inner Ear Dysfunctions for SSRI's which makes the person even more worse off. A damaged sensory system doesn't need inhanced especially when the person is limited to single tasking function in that area.

Ritalin usually is of little use for C.A.P.D. as well. Treating the allergy or ear infectionsa to limit further damage is needed. In adults with anxiety disorders produced from this source Benzo's work pretty well in small but consistant of a 24 hour period dosage rather than large ones once or twice a day. You get more benifit from smaller dosages that stay in the bloodstream 24 hours a day. I would recommend a trip to the Audiologist long before a trip to a shrink anyday. Audiologist can diagnose C.A.P.D. shrinks for the most part are clueless.

Nope....

ADHD patients are responding to experimental complex sugar replacement, which suggests a sugar absorption problem from a pathogen. Don't believe it?

Think on this one... What if I was to tell you Type II Diabetes was an infectious disease and we could drop persons glucose level 50% in five days with two synergistic antibiotics? And what if this was done in the total apparent absence of any infection anywhere? What if I told you I could regress diabetic neuropathy 12 inches down the leg in the same period of time and keep it down for 4 years with no further treatment? They are both caused by the same bug.

If you understand the significance of what I have just told you then you know what an atomic bomb that I have to drop on the medical profession. We have performed this experiment three times now with 100% consistent results.
