As the site says "ADD and ADHD are distinct conditions, though they share many of the same symptoms." Tired of traditional "medicines" etc. where can I find Medical authorities/research information about herbal treatments for ADD rather that dealing with "stimulants" that get complicated with my heart & asthma, stress... issues. I've heard good things about Ginko Biloba and Omega 3 (fish oil) and have been using them but apprently not enough. Where can I get that kind of advice?

Thank you for your question. According to the medical definition, as per the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual), ADD and ADHD are the same condition. Treatment for both, would be the same.
Additional information on the site here:
As far as information on herbal/alternative treatments:
How Effective is Omega 3 in Treating ADHD?
Alternative Treatments for ADHD
St. John's Wort Did Not Improve ADHD Symptoms
I hope this information helps.

Hi there. Do you have a natural food store anywhere near you? My mom is a nutritionist and handles this kind of thing all the time. If you don't I can get her to write you a message of what to day. Brands and all :) I wish you the best of luck and they can really work. Also watch your diet. Toodles my friend
