Book Reviews of Dr. Bob's Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 Days
Book Review: A diet
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all, the book is *not* about ADHD -- it's a set of ill-expressed and more or less pertinent dietary recommendations interspersed with anecdotal information about how diet changes have improved the life of various people with ADHD-like (as well as totally unrelated) *symptoms*.
Here are just a couple of samples of the nonsense of which the book is full:
1. Arrogance: "No one has really addressed the underlying cause of hyperactivity, ADD, ADHD and ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder). Trust me. There are a lot of variables. I have read and researched articles, books and history. There is no picture painted by any particular authority. Most of the information, with a few exceptions, is speculation." (page 2)
The author's ridiculous "trust me" is pretty much in synch with using as endorsements of his teachings quotes from "reputable" sources like "Fast Food Nation", "USA Today" and various books of fellow diet "gurus".
2. Ignorance: "In 1908, a scientist named Metchkinoff recommended the daily consumption of yogurt because he felt it promoted good health and prolonged life." (page 124)
If the author bothered to even Google the inexistent name, he would have found right after Google's kind "did you mean" spelling correction a wikipedia page on Ilya *Mechnikov*, who was a scientist awarded the Nobel prize and not some guy who recommended yogurt because he had a feeling it promoted good health.
In conclusion: save your money -- I've bought this book to serve as part of my education on ADHD after I've been diagnosed with it a while ago, and found it to be by far one of the most worthless books I've read (in general, not only on ADHD).
If you're interested in learning about ADHD, I would kindly recommend two criteria in selecting what you read. On one hand, it helps makinig sure that the books are recent, because the body of knowledge has evolved significantly in the last couple of decades. And on the other hand, you might want to Google the name of the author to make sure that it really means something in the scientific community that studies ADHD (my fault that I didn't do this before buying this book).
