I'm not saying diet has 'cured' my son's ADHD. I'm saying that diet has been a contributing factor in my son's ADHD and I have seen some results from the elimination diet. Genetics is another contributing factor in my son's ADHD. Neurological wiring is also contributing factor in my son's ADHD. Creating a stable, calm, stress-free environment helps to improve my son's ADHD. So there are many factors at hand with ADHD or probably any disorder.

If you read, Healing Young Brains, they suggest that neurofeedback seems to work best in treating ADHD if you take a multi-modality/holistic approach to treating the mind, body. NFT isn't a magic cure. If the environment remains chaotic, NFT will likely not work or be as affective as it potentially could - because our brains/bodies interact with our environment.

My DS6.5 was born with severe sensory processing as well as torticollis (neck) and severe plagiocephaly (head). We learn to regulate how we think, act, behave from our senses, brain/neurological wiring, and environment. If our sense of taste, smell, hearing, sight is compromised (as it was with my son), then our development and perception of reality is altered.

Without vision therapy, my son's visual processing deficits could not have been overcome. No drugs would have restored it, period, because visual processing is based on how the eyes, brain, and body interact with one's environment. It's an individualized process on how you interpret the world based on how your brain and body works.

I'll say again that I'm a historian and operate on a different reasoning/perspective. That's me. I can't speak for others.
