Answers:
I answered a question similar to this some time ago ... I got my information off of www.mercola.com (I swear by this site - I like to be informed and I hate western medicine & drugs as I feel they are not the answer) when I typed in ADHD. Let me see if I can find it. Be back.

Omega-3 oils, specifically fish oil, is probably the single most important nutrient for a child with ADHD to take. While I'm sure there are some quality brands of fish oil available, I the brand I currently recommend with complete confidence is Carlson's fish oil and cod liver oil. Carlson's quality is exceptional and their purity is documented by independent organizations. I offer Carlson's fish oil and cod liver oil in my "Recommended Products" section.
Water as the primary beverage, taking care to avoid fruit juices, soda and milk.
Restrict sugars and grains which cause elevated insulin levels.
Also, I do know that feeding yourself & your child organic foods is much better, as you are not at risk of consuming chemicals & pesticides.
Children with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) should spend some quality time outdoors when they are not in school, according to a nationwide study.
Researchers observed the positive effects spending time outdoors had on ADHD patients in different regions of the country. Participants, ages 5-18, spent time in "green" areas, which varied from big cities to rural settings. The results indicated a dramatic reduction in symptoms. Researchers believe that simply incorporating nature with regular after-school and weekend activities could be widely effective.
