I added the phenol and the yeast link at the bottom, because both can cause problems. Some people believe that ADHD is on the mild end of the Autism Spectrum Disorder. ADHD or mild autism can produce allergies/food intolerances, vitamin deficiencies, as well as brain chemical deficiencies/reactions that trigger reactions in the children. I would recommend that if your friend could afford it, to take her child to a holistic health practitioner that practices kinesiology. Then, the treatment would be specific to the child. And she wouldn't have to try things by trial and error. All of the previous recommendations have been on the mark. My son has ADHD tendencies. I personally believe that they were caused by vaccines. After a lot of researching and agonizing, we no longer vaccinate. I realize that she may not have that option. A good book with suggestions on how to lower vaccine risk is " Vaccinations: A Thoughtful Parent's Guide " , by Aviva Jill Romm. Decreasing sugar, the bad fatty acids, food colorings, phenols (in a lot of fruits and vegetables), dairy products, and gluten products could help alot. Joma takes extra fatty acids, vitamin C, a magnesium and calcium supplement and a supplement called Be Calm'd. I know that the extra fatty acids and the Be Calm'd help a lot...I can tell if he misses a few days. I personally don't think that ritalin and drugs are the way to go (unless a serious commitment to natural means have been tried and failed). That is why I recommended a kinesiologist tailor the child's specific food allergies/intolerances, vitamin deficiencies, etc. If an autistic child has a food infraction, they can have a reaction up to 72 hours later. So sometimes, it can be very difficult to go by a " trial and error " method of trying things. Good luck! hugs!
