Many children, who Cognitiva are otherwise completely healthy, can exhibit extremely active behavior, even hyper activity as compared to their peers. Children who have other emotional problems and/or problems in the home or at school may be displaying anxiety symptoms rather than ADD.

A study from Holland reported that children who were put on an elimination diet and ate only lean protein, fruits, vegetables, rice and pear juice had the same positive response rate they had when given Ritalin, a common medication for ADD."
