He can't "cure ADHD" because it is a symptom of many different things. He has to diagnose the patient and determine the underlying cause. He gave a list of potential causes that included vision problems, iron deficiency, and sleep problems. I imagine each of these have their own cure which in turn fixes the symptoms of ADHD. You are implying that ADHD only has a single cause, the author is disagreeing with you.

You and the author are both talking as if ADHD exists which counters his book title. I'm not the one making the bold claim -- the author is in his title.
The claim is that ADHD __as currently defined__ does not exist. That's very different from "no one is suffering from these clusters of symptoms".
