In my very first comment, I indicated that ADHD was ruled out at age 5.
It isn't a conspiracy theory and I am not anti medication. I was being attacked by someone taking my remarks very personally and twisting them out of shape, which appears to also be what you are doing.
My point is that some kids benefit more from a nutritional approach than from medication. That doesn't mean medication does nothing. But it does mean that it is possible that some people would benefit more from other approaches and may not get the opportunity to learn that if the first thing done is medication.
It isn't saying drugs do nothing. It isn't saying you should never take drugs or you are bad or wrong for taking drugs. It is saying that if a nutritional deficiency is a factor, drugs won't fix that. Nutrition will. In fact, many drugs are known to deplete nutrients and thereby can make things worse over the long run.
