It is a fact that certain foods have neurological effects, mainly because of certain excesses we consume. It is also a fact that some people are more sensitive than others. While it is widely believed that salicylates are a primary cause,  this isn't so.  Rather, it is a wide range of aromatic compounds that can cumulatively affect the balance of dopamine and  other neurotransmitters. The effects range from impaired concentration to restless legs, even restless arms, and these can be entirely caused by the diet.

Restless Legs Syndrome and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder are also closely related in terms of their symptoms and neurochemistry. This book   profiles both the biology and complete dietary tragedy that is at the root of the problem. There are also related comorbid conditions that you should know about, like migraine.

The real magic bullet is in re-educating yourself about what you are consuming - there is no other natural or quick-fix solution. However, the knowledge gained will put you in control of your symptoms, so  you will know exactly what to expect as a result of your dietary choices. The only other effective alternative I know of is medication, usually stimulants with all their unpleasant side effects.

So if you are eager to discover the dietary solution, then I am eager that you get the full picture. I am also confident that whether you are a sufferer of ADHD/RLS, a scientist or medical practitioner, you will find this approach unique and comprehensive. Follow the links for a preview.
