That's the page that got me into trouble.

Thank you.

I'm curious if people think there's a correlation. In my case, yes. At least I think so. I've been diagnosed with ADHD-inattentive. There are two classes of medications and they both have horrible side effects for me. I've found that what works best for me is what I like to do and am able to do. Th...

Anyway, nobody has answered by question, was I wrong about what I told my doctor? It may be true that statins are good for the heart, but is there a tradeoff with AD, especial...

So I poked some words into google and now I need someone to explain what I found. :P Here's a paper that seems to have a lot of words that I just don't understand. (Insul...

You might also consider the DASH diet, though the Mediterranean diet is the one that is backed by the most research in terms of ...
