It looks like this so-called-professional is basically arguing that ADD is just a synonym for 'lazy' and 'bad-attitude'. It's hard to really get a sense of the thing though, because I haven't found anyone blogging about it who doesn't admit in either the comments box or the fine print or somewhere else that they're a "compensated endorser". You seem genuinely on the level though and I'd love to hear any insight you could offer. Hi, I was wondering if you know anything about this ‘Total Transformation Program’ nonsense.

The teachers at my son's school say I need to have him tesed for ADD. I want to help in anyway I can but I don't want him labeled and given drugs which seems to be the first thing most doctors want to do. I have been researching the interenet for help but can't seem to find anything that isn't associated with a bad review somewhere. Where can I turn? Is there a book out there that is real or are they all rip off's? He is not hyperactive but can't seem to stay on task at school. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

My future brother-in-law, who has ADHD says the he just gets so frustrated when some individual gets richer by scamming others. He agrees that many methods help to alleviate the symptoms and there are lots of coping strategies but no cure. Gotta live with it baby! I belong to a website where we educate people of teaching methods and skill that help individuals with Dyslexic Issues. Unlike some of the big names in the Dyslexia biz who state that they can cure the condition we say Dyslexia is with you for life but you can learn to read and write and understand time and direction and spoken instructions and other little known issues. Part of what I do is check out all the methods out there to find out what actually works and let people know about them. When I say works I mean; methods that don't cost thousands of dollars and/or take years to master. I recently read two books by Ron Davis who claims to have a cure for Dyslexia. I even went to one of his lectures. I honestly think the reason his "Methods" are so well known is because of a very successful advert campaign because his books are really hard to read. Hard because they are mostly his personal opinion backed by some "sideways logic" with the word "maybe this is because this is..." used quite a bit. The reason I am writing to you is to tell you that RD says he has cured ADHD too. It is so simple too, just adjust the "Energy Dial setting" . Say what!? Go ahead read The Gift of Learning chapter 13 for a good chuckle. I had my brother-in-law read it and he had a pretty good laugh. The other reason I am bringing this to your attention is I think it would make a good topic for you to take on. Actually the entire Ron Davis set of methods are base on some pretty wild suppositions in my opinion but thats just my view. So be my guest, read the book and see if you don't think that it would make a good article. Thanks for reading this. If you do decide it worth writing about could you let me know on my e-mail, thanks Hi Jeff, nice dissection.

Now how about you take on "Dr. DeMaria's" Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 Days! But don't write a "negative" review on Amazon. He'll have it removed. And he posts a comment to each reviewer, sending readers to his website where you'll learn that eliminating transfats cures ADHD! Hello NIMH!!! News flash!!! Nice dissection, Jeff.

It's appropriate that tonight when I finally come for a visit, your thoughts are on the annoyance of outside-world attitudes that our symptoms can somehow magically be whisked away. I sure as hell wish that were the case, don't you? I thought you might like to know, I wrote about a similar subject this weekend (followed by a pretty personal comment to explain why I did so), over on my own blog. You can find it here: http://www.chicagocarless.com/2008/12/13/equal-and-opposite/ Essentially, I'm having one of those ADD moments where I'm tired of my close friends and loved ones not getting it. They signed on to have an ADDer in their lives, the least they can do is understand what that means...good and bad. I hadn’t read your blog in awhile.
