    I will admit that I have not heard of that. I did a quick literature search and didn't come up with anything either. Not sure that I would have if I had done a more detailed one either. I wonder what he bases his theory on?!

    I don't have statistics but the absence rate for my ADHD children is not significantly higher overall than my other students. I wonder where he got that information as I would like to see the study.

    I realize that I am just one person, but I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and again as an adult. I have been taking methylphenidate, ritalin, regularly for the last three years and have had no increase in infections or diseases since becoming medicated. I get a few colds a year and suffer from incessant allergies, but that's about it. Hope this helps.
