ADD/ADHD sufferes have many faced. A child who's hyperactive or inattentive. A disorganized, unfocused teenager having trouble with school work. An adult who has already lived with Attention Deficit Disorder all of his life.

For ADD/ADHD adults or children and their families, life is a constant struggle. The most common definitions of "success" in our society seem impossible to attain, whether it's a child's ability to stay seated and focused in school or an adult's ability to complete tasks accurately and within deadlines.

ADD (and ADHD) ranks among the most common neurological disorders among American children, affecting up to 5%, or as many as 2 million kids. In every classroom in the United States you can expect to find at least one child with ADHD. While it is not itself a specific learning disability, ADHD can interfere with concentration and attention, making it difficult for a child to do well in school and in social situations.

Unfortunately, drug therapies commonly used to treat ADHD have serious short and long-term side effects and are known to cause permanent chemical changes in the brain. Alarmed by the many drug side effects, concerned parents are seeking ways to find a natural drug-free solution to treat ADHD symptoms.
