ADHD Help Without Drugs

This was in my drafts. I thought I'd posted this already. I meant to anyway. Must be age burning up brain cells.

I have been doing some reading and online research about ADHD, looking for a way to manage ADHD without drugs. I found a lot of information (research and articles) showing improvement in ADHD symptons using Omega-3. Here are some links to a lot of informative info I read:

Also, eliminating high carb, heavily processed foods is recommended along with it for ADHD.

Does anybody have any positive experiences with managing ADHD symptoms with diet (eliminating the bad, adding Omega-3 if there isn't enough being eaten in a regular diet)?

ADHD - is Omega-3 a breakthrough?

I've been doing some research because my husband's son has ADHD. He's gone from medication and all A's to no medication and D's! He was supposed to be seen by other doctors but that hasn't been done yet. It's sad to see his grades all year long looking like this and nothing being done about it.
