AD/HD: POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2008, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show that a more exact diagnosis and dietary intervention in AD/HD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is possible and probable. The clinical symptom based diagnosis we suggest may be supplemented with physiological tests. A genetic and environmental inter-action is clearly involved and explainable using phenylketonuria as a model. Method: Examining peer reviewed published papers on gut to blood, blood to brain interaction and effect of interventions in AD/HD and our own studies in the field. The various treatment options are discussed. Results: It can be shown that a gut to brain activity is possible and probable, and dietary intervention is useful and probably safer than drugs. Preliminary data on a small five year follow up of dietary intervention is shown.
