My oldest (11yrs boy) has attention defecit and sometimes can be quite difficult, especially now that he's on a rotation in middle-school. We have opted not to medicate him as he extremely bright and don't want to risk deminishing any of his positive experiences (music, art).

Dr.'s Heller mentioned briefly in CAD that LC could help control ADD impulses in overweight kids but my son is about 12 pounds UNDER-weight. The last thing I want is to have him lose. However, it would be great if he could gain more control over his impulses simply through his diet. It has a pretty negative effect on his social relationships - he has finally made some friends that we DON'T know their parents and they have to hang out with him, poor thing.

Anyhoo, does anyone know if LC would cause him to lose weight which is something I consider unsafe for him or if the chemical changes would be very positive?
