ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderAlternative Treatments For ADHD

ADHD is traditionally seen as a big-city illness by Traditional African healers. In big cities, there is much more poisonous than in smaller cities and villages, and coupled with the fact that children generally do not enjoy a strong, extended-family structure and lots of free time to play with other children, big cities are a more fertile ground for ADHD to develop. ADHD is a mental disorder and, when caught early, is very easy to treat.

ADHD often begins in utero, and is associated with nutritional deficiencies while in the womb. "When a mother is pregnant with a child and she is experiencing severe cravings for a particular food, she should eat that food.
