Good nutrition being the basis of good health, removal from the diet of “non-foods” such as artificial additives, flavourings, colourings, and preservatives, along with highly processed foods of little nutritional value, constitutes removal of an obstacle to cure. This simple step of returning the child to real foods often leads to substantial improvements, even in the absence of any other intervention.  The Feingold Diet: A Fine Example So it's no secret that a bad diet is an obstacle to any cure, but that's especially true in cases of ADHD and concentration issues in children and adults alike.
