HERB - ADHD

[stephanie stuart]

i have also heard of the caffeine thing helping. one test is to give the 
children nothing but juices for a day and see if they get very hyper,then 
give them a coke to see if they calm down. i know it sounds a little 
experimental but i heard it from a mom who faces this with her child.-azalea
