The logic behind this is easy to follow.
When mold grows in house, car or school, chemicals are given off. These chemicals are known as mycotoxins. These mycotoxins cause many different problems from cancer to dandruff.
One class of mycotoxins is called neurotoxins. These toxins affect nervous system. They can cause hyperactivity, confusion and even hallucinations. We had one home where family saw rats. The pest control company said they had never had rats. We removed mold and rats went away. Hallucinations caused by neurotoxins.

It is these mold toxins that can cause symptoms that can lead to misdiagnosis. These toxins get into body and mimic normal chemicals that have specific functions. These normal chemicals may tell legs to move or tell body when to calm down. If these normal chemicals are bypassed or blocked by toxins, then weird things begin to happen in child's world.
If your legs moved when you didn't want them to, wouldn't you be a little hard to get along with?
What is cure?
[Let's get one thing cleared up first. Getting rid of mold will not change kids with real ADHD.] Although, it may help.
Too much moisture or too little ventilation in building causes mold.
1. So dry out house. Make sure vents in your attic and crawlspace are open and working.
2. Fix leaks in bathrooms and kitchens.
3. Insulate A/C ducts and water pipes.
4. Get and use dehumidifiers to dry air.
5. Leave washer and dryers open when not in use.
6. Make yard drain away from house.
Don't drug your kids. Cure their ADHD natural way. Clean up your environment.
