I've tried steering him to Medline. Let's see what non-pharmacological
treatment modalities he comes up with.

NYOB,
If you look at his links, it includes someone posts in a NG forum (and we
know they are always accurate bg ) another one states : : "I am not
trained in medicine, pharmacy, or nutrition, hence I am not qualified to
give advice in any of these areas. What follows is merely a personal
account of my son's condition and the methods we employ to treat it. These
methods are not generally applicable, and may not be appropriate for you
or your child. "
The other ones all seem to be selling books or nutritional supplements.
I do believe some children with mild ADD can be treated without
medications, and some are misdiagnosed, but as usual Bass provides links
that are useless in proving his point.

OK, how do you treat either the symptoms or the cause without the use
of
psychotropic drugs?
PS - The cause of these illnesses is a chemical imbalance in the brain
and
the symptoms of the chemical illness is the result of this chemical
imbalance.
I'd lik to hear basskisser's response as to what causes the chemical
imbalance...and how he believes it can be treated without medications.
Many, many tests have shown, without a doubt, that the symptoms of
ADHD can be lessened, or stopped altogether with diet, and behavior
modification. I'd suggest a simple google search. I found a few
thousand websites related to this subject. Here are a few.

As I've stated, there are a few thousand more sites that deal with
ADHD and diet. Now for Tourette's:
