Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 I just joined the list...so, to introduce...our family lives in Western Colorado and our 9 yr. old son has been having alot of difficulty with focus/concentration issues with schoolwork. A trial with Ritalin proved unhelpful. He has been diagnosed with an audio-processing problem and he also has alot of allergies (sinus/eczema/borderline asthma). We have found that the anti-histamine, Claritin, helps him to think more clearly on his studies; his doctor is puzzled by this since Claritin does not cross the blood-brain barrier, though she feels it may be acting as a stimulant. I am searching for clues/answers about connections between immune system deficits and neurological functioning and also for nutritional possibilities to try to help my son.
