Book Synopsis

A Physician and Mother Explodes the Myths About ADHD! Does ADHD really exist? Are we hurting more than helping with this diagnosis? What are safer and more effective ways to help our children? In her book, No More ADHD, Dr. Mary Ann Block uses statistical facts, medical science and her clinical expertise to answer these questions. Dr. Block, the top-selling author of No More Ritalin and No More Antibiotics and an international expert on attention and behavior problems, makes the boldest statement to date -- she refutes the very existence of the ADHD diagnosis. Dr. Block takes us on a shocking journey behind the scenes of the medical profession to expose the frivolous and subjective methods used to contrive the ADHD diagnosis. Dr. Block shatters our complacency regarding pharmaceutical company marketing and the current drug treatments for ADHD with blunt truths about their dangers and then gives us the tools to rebuild by providing practical, effective and safer methods of helping children with attention and behavior problems.

Dr. Block's comprehensive 10-Step Program includes information and suggestions for dealing with both the medical establishment and the school system, and on undiagnosed allergies, the science and benefits of good nutrition and specific nutrients, learning skills needed for the classroom, the effects of gastrointestinal problems and other chronic health issues that affect attention and behavior. This book was designed to empower parents with information and tools in order to help their children grow up healthy and happy and with No More ADHD!
