My primary goal is to help all children and adults with this disorder and to provide them with the opportunity to learn how to become motivated, successful learners, to receive social acceptance, and to live drug-free.
My secondary goal is to help parents of children with ADHD and adults with ADHD realize that the guilt or shame felt, due to the resulting problems, need not be a continual burden. Many of my clients have indicated that they were made to feel responsible for their child's anti-social and inappropriate behaviour and that their approach to parenting was the cause. For the over 1000 families with whom I've worked, this couldn't be further from the truth. Every one of the parents indicated they had tried every conceivable approach recommended: parenting classes, psychotherapy, marriage counseling, medication, behaviour modification techniques, etc. with limited success. With this group of families, the majority had tried, or were still using, medication as a means of controlling the symptoms. None were content to use medication as a long-term approach and hence their interest in a drug-free alternative...
Please remember that a journey takes time and it is completed one step at a time.
If you are a parent struggling with the problems caused by having a child with ADHD, this approach may provide answers to resolving those problems. If you help to eliminate the underlying causes of ADHD, you will enable your child to be what he/she was meant to be. By completing the questionnaire and linking revealed information resulting from ADHD symptoms, you will identify problematic areas.
Upon completion of her doctorate, which identified characteristics commonly found in students with ADHD, Dr. Sandra Starr designed a program to teach the role nutritional deficiencies play in this disorder. A generic program has been found to work for most, and has been successfully implemented for the past fifteen years with thousands of families. Clients have provided personal progress reports revealing evidence of physical, behavioural, and cognitive improvements which identified the link between symptoms and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The vitamin regimen outlined has been shown to build strength in the immune system, and over time will eliminate the symptoms that gave rise to the ADHD label.
Dr. Starr has been engaged in pro bono work for the past four years and as a result of this work, clients have encouraged her to publish her research.

Chapter One
A Personal Account
I am a mother, grandmother, educator, researcher, lecturer, and author of this book. I have been an educator for over 40 years and know the stress associated with raising and teaching children. I have used my knowledge to help thousands of children, including my own grandchildren. My two youngest grandchildren would have surely been labeled ADHD without intervention. My second granddaughter developed eczema on her arms at 9 months of age. Cortisone cream was prescribed by the doctor. Knowing from one of my clients that eczema disappeared in her daughter after following my program for 3 months, I suggested to my daughter that she could apply essential fatty acid oil to her daughter's abdominal area instead of using the cortisone. As my granddaughter grew, the eczema continued and around 2 years' of age, she started to exhibit behavioural symptoms as well. These symptoms were: violent outbursts, screaming, obstinacy, head banging, wall kicking, etc. Since she was now able to take vitamins, my daughter added a multiple vitamin to her regimen. Better behaviour was noticed at times but since the eczema was still affecting her arms, we knew that she was in much pain and discomfort. My daughter continued to give my granddaughter the essential fatty acids. As my granddaughter was now 3 years old she took the oils orally. Her arm still showed much imbalance in her system, and outbreaks were frequent, in fact, the eczema had caused the skin to lose all pigmentation. At 5 years of age she was now suffering socially as children in her senior kindergarten class made fun of her arms and frequently shunned
