Diagnosed with ADD, In need of natural treatments.

Yoga has been proven to work to help in managing symptoms of ADD.

through internet porn. Have you tried quitting that?

I'm not joking either: http://yourbrainonporn.com/

As a ADHD patient i know and understand what your going through. First off DO NOT take adderal or any of the like because it will cause horrible eating problems and your "self" is lost into a zombie like status. Yes ADD is hard to deal with and very very annoying and can get severely frustrating at times but it gets easier as you age. The only thing i use that helps me in certain situations is marijuana. If its not medically legal or anything im not endorsing "illegal" activity or anything but truth be told it raised my college G.P.A. Im not a doctor or smart even at the lowest level but it really does slow down my brain just so i can not feel like there are a million things in my head. It was either starving myself below 125lbs and having to take sleep medication to help me sleep just to produce at a "normal" average OR take one medicine that helps me with my ADHD, helps me eat well, and helps me sleep. hope it helps

Already many good suggestions on here.

Read all of Dr. Joel Wallach's books.

Clean up your diet big time.

Supplement with all of the 90 essential nutrients. The Healthy Start Pack from Youngevity, which includes Beyond Tangy Tangerine and other supplements is an excellent as easy way to start.

And be wary of all prescription and over the counter drugs.

PS. And get rid of your TV.

flax seed oil, and cod liver oil should be included in your plan to get better.

Look into an herb called rhodiola rosea. It's an herb that increases concentration and attention span, along with depression. And its safe with no side effects! You can buy it from iherb.com and I recommend the Swedish Herbal Institute brand.

First of all, take all of the dietary advice people already listed below. It can only help. Simplify your diet to only whole foods. Get rid of processed crap. Also, caffeine has helped a lot of people I know. But, Acupuncture has helped me the most with zoning out, paying attention, focus, and calming me.

I'm a combo of ADD/OCD... yeah how's that for a mental contradiction... My cure was acquiring several hobbies... RC racing, target shooting, hunting, hiking/camping, ATV racing... I'm all better now.

ADD is a trait of geniuses believe it or not... Extreme neural stimulation is required as the mind fires on many different paths at once, thus, the lack of attention.

A good diet will help to a certain extent but odds are in the favor of you just having a highly reactive mind... STIMULATE IT... Essentially ADD drugs burn out the "hyperactivity" where as someone without the condition taking the mods gets hyperactive.

My 2 cents.

The natural way to remedy this is the classic ....hard and heavy manual labor for at least 6 months. ie. repetitive heavy lifting, lots of walking, and at both extremes of temperatures. On the weekends engage in team sporting activities such as football, soccer, tennis, and some social drinking to take the edge off still if need be. Drinking alone will have negative and unhealthy effects.

This should dramatically clear things up for you imo. You will be too tired for any trumped up disorders in my view. :)

ie. go work in the fields, construction, cut grass, etc.

p.s. Plz stay away from the meds and best of all...hit the beaches, camping, and campfires :D !!

The city is horrible in many ways ...you have to get out at least once every couple of weeks if you live in one

I was once diagnosed as a severe case years ago. After 5 years of Zoloft, I decided to chuck it and try to find out why I couldn't concentrate. After not finding the answers I decided to live with it rather than be a docile drone. Several years later I learned some things, stopped ingesting harmful substances and started eating more primal / natural foods, and in a short amount of time, I was much better. Now I can do anything for however long it takes and my concentration is solid.
Go to fluoride alert dot org and read about the effect fluoride has on the brain. Buy a berkey water filter or something similar that filters out the fluoride. Then, do a search on the recent UCLA study about the effect of HFCS on those lab rats in the maze. Start eating organic salads once or twice per week. Check out the best omega 3 rich brain food known as hemp seed oil. (use it on the salads, it's excellent) if you eat oats, try making some chia seed gell and add it to the oats because it's good for the regulation of blood sugar in the body. That also affects brain function. Do more outdoor excercise and stay away from the pharmecudicle nightmare. Once you do those things, you'll have it figured out and do the rest on your own.
Good luck

is supposed to be the best. Kudos to you for not allowing yourself to take a pill as an aswer to your problems! Drugs are not the answer, since you already know that you'll manage just fine:)

of good advice below! EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids)are the answer, imo, for most mental, memory disorders...

Heck, EFAs have even helped treat schizophrenia!!

Try to go organic, and when you can't afford organic at least make sure there is no high fructose corn syrup, MSG or aspartame. One of the FIRST steps to better health is to stop putting poison in our system. Best of luck to you.

Make sure it's caffeinated. Also, try to cut out preservatives and artificial colors, especially yellows and reds. Coffee several times daily, 3 or 4 is usually enough.

Caffiene.

Go to their website and look in the list of ailments for Attention Deficit Disorder, this site is absolutely amazing the best place to go for all holistic natural treatments.

Eat lots of high quality fat (coconut oil, butter) moderate animal protein and low, low carbs.
Avoid processed foods. One teaspoon of cod liver oil per day. Start slow. Get prepared for detoxing and better health. Withdrawal is a challenge if you eat processed foods now. That is probably given you the problem.

Eat primal, use cannabis.

I would recommend cutting out all processed foods and wheat products,get some daily exercise and eat lots of fruits and veggies.And stay away from drugs and alcohol,including prescription drugs.

Trust me, all it did was turn me into a zombie. I've gotten into meditation and it has helped me with my concentration big time.
