Hi guys, the mainstream will have you believe that the only treatment for ADHD is medication, primarily stimulants.
While I agree they are affective, they come at a price, literally and figuratively.
Besides meditation and exercise, which definitely help, have others been able to treat their ADHD with non-conventional methods? Can anyone suggest books to read on the topic?
Avoid sugar.
We use a strict vitamin regime and this light (especially during winter):

We also have tried magnesium, she didn't like it. GABA and thianine as well can help. I have also heard of some people finding that using a Himalayan salt light helps.
Good luck.
Qi gong / Chi kung / tai chi / yoga / meditation in general

Awesome. This was something I was meaning to get into.
Did you learn from Youtube or books? Any suggestions?
Thank you

That video showed me what was possible. From there I read and read and read but I’ll boil it down to 3 books:
The Magus of Java (PDF in that thread)
Qigong Empowerment: A Guide to Medical, Taoist, Buddhist and Wushu Energy Cultivation (Bought mine wouldn’t surprise me if it’s online somewhere though)
Energy Work - Robert Bruce
Exercise is a night and day for me, definitely.
Check for a Vitamin D deficiency, that can have a lot to do with it. Magnesium can help, iodine can help. It can also be a digestive issue that prevents uptake of nutrients. Eating a crappy diet can also deplete nutrients. Ideally one of these things already leads to a lot of improvement, otherwise it is down to experimentation with other things, or fixing some other underlying issue. It's not easy, but it is worth every effort.
That may be mostly true, but supplementation can definitely help at least somewhat. Speaking from personal experience here. In my case it did a lot, but still only goes so far, and there seem to be other factors. I'm still trying to work it out.
Good points. If you have the option, definitely go for actual sunlight! In the north in winter it's hard though, and that's where supplementation can come in. Or cod liver.
Nose breathing
I'm generally congested so this could make sense.
What's your theory behind it? Calmer breathing = calmer mind?

A book I just read discussed the topic.
Awesome. Will check it out, thanks.
Look up ADHD music on youtube. I just started it. Don't know yet if it works.
I know it's said to help with 'autism' - look up LDN (low dose naltrexone). I take it for my autoimmune crap, but have read it has a ton of other benefits.
Love love love my LDN. There’s a private Facebook group (I know), where over 30K people talk about their experiences with it. A very safe drug, great for infections, autoimmune, depression, and ptsd.
I don't think they're is if your ADHD is server as mine is. Medication works magic, and works right away, like a light switch
