Hi Dan...I noticed you said ADD instead of ADHD, as do I when referring to myself. Is that because you aren't physically hyper? I'm just asking because I have no problem being still but my mind goes constantly.

in reply to Gabesmom594

Exactly. More mentally hyper. Not that I sometimes aren’t a whirlwind of activity. But that seems controllable. When were you aware of the ADD in your own life.

Hi charlied1983. I use the KISS principle. Currently eating the widest variety of foods possible, that are whole unadulterated and as natural as possible. For me, “keeping it simple stupid “ seems to work best!
