ADHD, medication, and naturopathy

I read a new book, well skimmed through it called Kids Without Ridilin. They authors talked about natural ways to help kids with ADHD without using the traditional medication that western medicine seems to jump towards. The authors also have some studies to assist the reasoning and lots of families talking about their experience.

So I'm stuck in the middle. We know he needs help. The doctor said, well its sounds like ADHD and he definitely falls within those ranges and if we try a series of medication and it works, we'll know. How can trying medication really be the best way. IF it helps then its fixed. The middle part seems to be that we have an appointment on Monday with his new naturopath and she says all these food allergies, his bedwetting, and ADHD are all rolled into one. And that we are already on the right path to making it all better.

But what, what's the piece we'v been missing. I'm anxious to find out. The book listed a few things but couldn't give us anything to really try because it said each child it so different.

I'm hoping my Monday it will be 3 full weeks since we sent in his samples and hopefully the results from the tests will be back. I think its great to have a ND says she's there to help me straddle both worlds because right now I'm feeling that where I'm at. How do I give him the best benefit of both worlds?

I'll keep you all posted. I'm off to make wheat-free tortillas. I've been putting of baking and cooking some of his specialty items in hopes the test results would come back and all my horrors could go away. Too big a hope I know but you've always gotta have hope!
