any non-drug ways to help ADD?

Published April 16, 2014

Question by Matt: any non-drug ways to help ADD?
I believe I may have it, but I am opposed to doing any drugs as a medication for it. In general, I have a very bad attention span, level of focus, and alertness, but I also don’t want to jump to any conlusions to say that I do have ADD because I can focus in the right conditions, I’m just very easily dstracted.
Anyways just wondering what you can do to help that out aside from drugs or medication.

if it makes any difference, I’m 19

Take at least 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or its FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it.
