OT OT OT OT Yes I jest because I had it until about 6 years ago when I got off of Sugar. I will tell you a story. As I have said before I came from a very poor family, I practically grew up on Cool Aid and peanut butter sandwiches. Back then we did not know anything about ADD, everyone just considered me the Black sheep of the family. Never could study, stole my study hall cards and would jump out the window while a pretty girl watched the door when the teacher walked out. I was the worst, never made over a D in High School. When I barely graduated, I went into the Marine Corp. and off to Parris Island. This was in the late fifties, that was one hell hole back then. Well let me tell ya, we were taken off sugar for three months and the change was dramatic for me. Made 100's on all my test and Graduated Number one in Platoon with Dress Blues Award. Came out of Marine Corp, went off to college and back on sugar. Same thing played around, grades were not that good but my test score on the Navy Flight Test was good enough to get me in the Flight program at Pensacola, Fla. Again, reduced sugar and ended up Regimental Commander and that was with competition from Harvard and Yale etc. Why? because I could concentrate with no problem. I tell those stories because there is an answer and it does not have to be DRUGS. There are too minerals that are great co-factors of sugar, one is Chromium and the other is Vanadium. So number one they have to have MINERALS, two Gingko Biloba along with Grape Seed Extract. But the main thing is keep them off of sugar! Just an opinion, I am no doctor, but it worked for my nephews! good luck, V

OT OT OT Since I sometimes write in depth on nutrition....for ADD Check out neuromins, the brand name for a combination of DHA and EPA. Do some web surfing/research on these fatty acids which are very important in ADD, actually goes into the brain. Studies have been done. Get all sugar out of the diet--candy, cookies, orange juice etc etc. Get your grandson tested for food allergies and mold allergies. In particular the latter. If there are strong mold allergies, make sure the house is tested (mold plates) and humidity reduced. A trial of antifungals might help too, again, if there is strong mold allergy. That's a start anyway. Jill
