Bass,
Did you bother to read the articles and who was making the claims? Do you
have one double blind study conducted by a medical institute to back up
these claims and the percent of improvement and the percent who is improved?

For what it is worth, I believe diet can make a difference, because in
effect you are changing the chemicals in the brain by your diet (you are
what you eat). The real question is can you change it enough to make a
difference in the majority of people who have the disorder.

This reminds me of link for the description of whiskey that proved your
definition was incorrect.

It is getting very hard to discuss anything with you, because it seems your
comprehension skills are lacking. Have you tried to alter your diet?

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.

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:

http://www.tourette-syndrome.com/holistic.htm
http://neuro-www.mgh.harvard.edu/for...genicdiet.html

So, as you see, both respond quite well to dietary changes. You really
should learn to use Google, it's a great research tool. Glad I could
help.
