Fresh Details On New Rules From The Front
Thanks to these various bloggers, coaches and reviewers that add to the growing conversation about neuroscience and precise thinking by commenting on New ADHD Medication Rules. Without attention to Reality, to hard data, to maps with detailed trail markers, we’ll remain lost in the fog of dreams and imprecise ADHD labels.
For Bookstores: Data details from the publishers.
New Rules An Amazon Best Seller
Fresh News from Morgan James and Koehler Publishing: Only 3 months after paperback publication New ADHD Medication Rules hit Amazon Best Seller Status in 6 different categories, 3 for paperback and 3 for the eBook in Kindle. Very cool, 😎
Thanks for these reviews!
Labels perpetuate the darkness, the treatment confusion that can send clients into the rocks. Neuroscience evidence changes thinking.

JC,
I’d have to get my calculator out to go thru every one. And even then the following issues arise:
1. “Max doses” encourage focus on simply cookie cutter dosing, not on the patient, – thus missing the opportunity to actually customize the response for each person’s individual metabolic rates.
2. Using a “max dose” strategy as a CYA won’t CYA [Cover Your A**]. At it’s best it keeps folks from blowing past the toxic top end on a certain percentage of the population, but misses the important response from the patientregarding assessment of the Top of their Therapeutic Window.
3. It further encourages the sea of “not thinking” so prevalent as a dosing strategy. It is an illusion to do the math on mg/kg and think that is the best dose [implied] because it is the top dose, leaving myriads of folks overdosed.
4. Having said all of that I do support thinking more carefully, and if these accurately deal with the projected top mg/kg, great. I just never use that unless I am thinking about trying to prove to someone else that I am actually thinking about these matters of ‘too much.’

Hi Dr. Parker,
I love the New ADHD Medication Rules; I finally know why I kept my doc on his toes adjusting my meds every other visit. I am gluten sensitive, and finally found a doctor willing to do food allergy testing this Tuesday. She is having iGg and iGa. Given my one known sensitivity, I think she should do iGe testing as well. I have been on a longggggg elimination diet, but am now issuing a food challenge to myself. Don’t see the point of testing me for 200 different foods if they aren’t present in my blood for a blood test. That said, I can’t possible consume all those foods in 48 hours anyhow. So what can such a test show?
Thanks!
P.S. I hope you are speaking at the CHADD conference this year…
Heather –
Honestly I hope I’m speaking at CHADD as well, and need all the help I can get. I sent in a speaking proposal, but I’m a bit out of the box for them, and hope they do see the value in new mind-science!
Thanks for your kind remarks on New ADHD Medication Rules! I’m not an advocate of the elimination diet simply because with years of experience using measurement in my office I discovered that one simply can’t cover all the immunity bases with elimination. E.g., If you’re allergic to milk and take everything else out you still have those IgG – Ghost symptoms – see this video.
I strongly recommend straight IgG testing and if you have overt food symptoms after eating those over symptoms are documented by IgE measurement, for the Emergency antigens. Then steel yourself and follow the diet and don’t let someone talk you out of it months down the road. Poison ivy reactions last a lifetime, why wouldn’t milk, eggs and wheat?
Make sure you say hello at CHADD, I’ll be there regardless 😉
