Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well. I don't believe in ADHD. It is merely a group of symptoms that are labeled as such so a drug can be given. That doesn't mean there aren't problematic behaviors, but once you label them ADHD, the problem takes on a life of its own. I would start with a good checkup from a behavioral optometrist. They do not just check vision but other things, too (perception, sustaining focus, etc) and it will give you a good understanding of how her brain is working (hard to briefly explain). Then I would find a naturopath, even if you have to travel, and have them do a complete workup on her. Check her for adrenal fatigue, thyroid problems, allergies and vitamin deficiencies. If you can fix any physical problems, the behavior can get under control. I wouldn't use a regular doc for the testing. You could also use homeopathy, too. I just like to know what the problem is as it helps me gain better understanding of my child. Now that I'm thinking of it, this really should go to OT4VAX. I'm sure there will be many opinions on this there: (ot4vax) Please sign up if you haven't already!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 i posted almost this same exact question on ot4vax in the past couple days and no one has responded so i'm happy to see this here. i'm seeing a psychologist who specializes in special technics to help with birth bonding repair to see i that helps us. but i will definitely look into a natropath for those tests too On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 8:34 PM, <wharrison@...> wrote: Well.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Oops, missed that one. From reading your earlier post, it sounds as if you're right about food allergies. She could be having reactions to sugar. I think addiction is one way you could explain it. She eats whole bottles of homeopathics?? Not worried, but my she's a sly one!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Have you tried an elimination diet? Usually there are food triggers that need to be eliminated, such as gluten, cow's dairy and soy and corn syrup and corn starch, sometimes all corn totally. All preservatives and food colorings can cause ADHD behaviours. Check every single label of every single processed food. GMO's can cause ADHD as well, there is a very good research study in a WA school that proved that (no link, sorry). Blue Algae is supposed to help, I have not tried that. Self medicating with caffeine can help a child focus such as chocolate milk in the morning and a small piece of some chocolate with snack and lunch or something else that she likes to eat. Usually it is fail safe with chocolate though. <g> It is crucial that these kinds of children (all children but these especially so) get SOLID SLEEP. NO late nights. Strong routines of going to bed early, early, early. It helps focus. People who don't believe in ADHD simply do not have it, LOL. Have it or deal with it in your family and you will try anything to help focus. There are MANY natural helps. Decluttering the environment is essential too. Check for mold issues in the home, with no wall to wall carpeting. Changing the bed linens to be natural, the rug to be wool, these help allergies which can affect sleep. Well, this list can go on and on. Can you get some books from your library and do some research on developing strong rhythms for the home? Diet is essential, sleep and eliminating clutter and allergens, these all help improve the ability to focus and self-regulate. After self-medicating, I would also get her a full evaluation by a Development Optometrist. Not just a regular eye doc. You cannot BELIEVE how many kids act ADHD when it is that their eyes are not converging, not focusing properly, are doing all manner of things. There are exercises for this and it will HELP quite a LOT. Do not delay for that evaluation. It costs $$ and is well worth it. And some supplements help too, but will not fix anything if the other food factors are not corrected. Omega 3's, Vit.D3, B vitamins, these are helpful specifically. A company called NeuroScience has a supplement specifically for ADHD, I forgot what it is called but you could find it easily online. Not cheap, but natural with vitamins.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi there! We use a homeopathic doctor for my son. He also shows signs of ADHD. Last year, when we started a remedy, it had a very fast reaction. He started to do much better BUT it did fade, so we do an upgrade of the remedy pretty much every time. Changing his diet, finding out what foods he's sensitive too, and putting him on the remedy (which was Tuberculinum) all really has done wonders. He's still hyper and often does not pay attention, but he's doing a lot better. Seeing our homeopathic doctor has really helped our entire family. Good luck!! myboycal@...

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Thank you Winnie for your reply. I do agree with you, however I used the label as a way to give a brief explanation of a problem. Currently we are doing a brain assessment to find her weak hemisphere. I am working on finding a brain balance doctor locally as well. Her ped was a naturopath, actually anthroposophical, but recently retired. She was never vaccinated, her severe food allergies (eggs, tree nuts, oats, peanuts, barley, rye, etc) and has always been treated with homeopathics. Her nutrition is very clean with little to no use of sugar and the allergens. She can be affected by sugar when consumed, but her behavior issues are independent of sugar. Her homeopathic doctor has suffered a severe car accident and is not able to give consultations of prescribe remedies. I am going over my own Materia Medica in hopes to find a remedy for her. I do not mean to label my or anyone's child. I myself do not believe in it. She does have some behavior problem that needs to be addressed for her on good. I am trying to find ways to help her so she can have a healthy growth and development. As I posted in the group I was looking for people that have had similar problems and that can share some ideas, so I thank you for your input. I will also check out the other group so I can post in the correct forum.Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 This may or may not help, but when my children were small, I never had broadcast television. I would rent only children's videos that were 45 minutes or more. No commercials. This helped them attain a long attentions span, I think. I did have problems later when they went to school, but honestly being in a classroom with 20-30 other children will keep me distracted too. My son whom I exclusively homeschooled had little attention problems. He could read a book all afternoon at age 9, no problems. No one told him he had to do something else. ~ Maureen R.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 thanks for sharing that with all ! That's great Just an FYI - tuberculinum works for her child but that is not the remedy for all - each remedy has to be individualized to the unique symptoms of the child. Don't just try tuberculinum. Finding a homeopath, , that will give the remedy in water can help to permanently cure. It is a different way of dosing using the remedies in water. Sheri At 03:39 AM 9/8/2011, you wrote: Hi there!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi Your homeopath probably doesn't know how to do water dosing, so that won't help It was the way Hahnemann taught and 5th & 6th edition of the organon and most homeopaths practice using his older 4th edition, sorry to say. would need a homeopath who does proper water dosing - I can refer you if you need a quality person who will do this Sheri At 09:31 AM 9/8/2011, you wrote: Yes, certainly do not just try it.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I think it's really important to distinguish between ADHD, a term invented to give drugs for, and certain symptoms that might fall into that supposed diagnosis. Behaviors can be from allergies, physical problems, emotional, visual, or a mix--maybe more that I'm not thinking of. Oh, or vaccine damage. And those behaviors can be varied from hyperactivity or not, inattention, sleep problems, etc. To lump them as ADHD/ADD is unfair to kids. My son was really difficult with a lot of different behaviors all his life. He made our lives hell. For years and through many schools. When we finally realized he had this adrenal insufficiency problem, a lot of it all fell into place--reading problems, school problems, lack of energy, dizziness, anxiety and the avoidance behaviors that stemmed from the physical problem. If he had another mother than I, he would have been diagnosed as ADHD/ADD and put on drugs. In fact, he was evaluated last year and the psychologist wrote up the report in such a way as to give him an ADD diagnosis so he could have services. I refused to submit it to the school, and told the psy. to rewrite it without that fake disease on my son's record. I don't know if he ever did because I didn't go back. I just used the info that he had visual problems holding him back academically, put it together with the diagnoses from the eye doctor and naturopath, and got him on track my own way. Just to explain my views on why I don't believe in ADHD. I believe in behaviors having a cause. I think it can be scary for a parent to worry their child has the dreaded "disease" of ADHD, and this is why so many kids get put on drugs. I think it's great the homeopathy worked. It also helped my son for awhile, too. Winnie ADHD anyone?> > > > Greetings,> > My older child is showing very strong symptoms of ADHD.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Okay, I understand that. Everyone knows what people mean by ADHD so it is quicker to describe it that way. It is really difficult sometimes to know why kids act the way they do, or what to do about it. It's good to hear you're looking for alternative ways to treat her behaviors. What is the brain assessment? How does that get done? Winnie ADHD anyone?> Vaccinations > > > Greetings,> > > > My older child is showing very strong symptoms of ADHD.

" by Dr Doris Rapp, MD As an aside, I can also share from my family. My cousin, who is now 32 years old, was diagnosed as ADHD when he entered Kindergarten. The Pediatrician recommended Ritalin, which his dad, a pharmacist, refused to give him. Took his parents quite some time to find a pediatrician or MD who could offer anything else. Long story short, somewhere along the way they discovered he was allergic to gluten. They put him on a gluten free diet and he was a new kid. A year or two later they reintroduced gluten and he had no reaction. These days you'd never know as a kid he ever had an issue sitting still or staying on task. 27 years ago, the thought that gluten could be effecting his behavior was radical, now many parents try an elimination diet to see if gluten, dairy, whatever effects their childs' behavior.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thank you so much for the books. I will check if my library has them. Since my child is severely allergic, gluten is one of the items she is allergic to. Her test last year showed great improvement so we introduce her to wheat and I think this is what has enhanced her less than ideal behavior. So, just this week I remove her from gluten once again. It will be a while before she detox from it all, so I will be watching over carefully to note changes. I certainly do not agree with drugging up anyone never mind a child. I know that drugs has its places (like in an anaphylatic reaction), but the over use these days is simply incredible. I will try all I can and I am sure a solution will be found.Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 The brain balance is a method invented by a doctor called Dr. Mellillo. His own son either was Autistic or ADHD. The program focus on creating a balance between both hemispheres of the brain. I am now doing a home assessment finding tendencies, strengths, etc on my child. Once I have established that she is either right or left hemisphere than the treatment consists of exercises to strengthen the weaker side of the brain. No drugs involved of any sorts. Diet is also addressed. For those interested the book I am reading is called "Disconnected children" by dr. Mellillo. There is a doctor doing the brain balance in my area, but the cost is prohibitive for my budget. So, I will work with the home version and hope that I can assist my child. Thanks for the posts and suggestions.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Miriam,Please read this article, written by Gail Szakacs, MD, a physician in CT who specializes in biomedical treatment of ADHD. Typically, children with ADHD have several (often many) food sensitivities which can be "diagnosed" with an IgG food sensitivity test or through kinesiology (see a practitioner of functional medicine or a naturopath to have this assessment done). When the sensitive foods are removed from the diet, parents typically see dramatic improvements. Also, children with ADHD also tend to have essential nutrient deficiencies (e.g., magnesium, iron, essential fatty acids, etc.) and so supplementation (as recommended by above professionals) can help as well. Homeopathy can of course be tremendously helpful in terms of helping body heal the underlying imbalances (as Sheri will tell you). To access the ADHD article, please visit:http://www.epidemicanswers.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ADHD_Article.pdfTo learn more about WHY our children develop ADHD, I provide a thorough explanation in my book, A Compromised Generation.www.acompromisedgeneration.comFeel free to email with any questions,Beth LambertAuthor, A Compromised GenerationPresident, Epidemic Answerswww.epidemicanswers.orgFrom: P <ExcitingHealth@...>Vaccinations Sent: Thursday, September 8, 2011 9:54 PMSubject: Re: ADHD anyone?

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm late on this one but figured I would still add -We have quite successfully treated our teen son with ADHD via a very good chinese doctor. He does acupuncture and makes herbs - he has helped this son and our son with autism. i would highly recommend a chinese doc but make sure he/she is a good one. Ours is 24th generation and really is very good at what he does. What helped the most is the acupuncture work done on both our boys nervous systems and the nerves in their brains. This work has benefited tremendously. It takes time and can get costly but so worth it in our opinion.AlliFrom: Nachman <myboycal@...>"Vaccinations " <Vaccinations >Sent: Thursday, September 8, 2011 5:39 AMSubject: Re: ADHD anyone? Hi there! We use a homeopathic doctor for my son. He also shows signs of ADHD. Last year, when we started a remedy, it had a very fast reaction. He started to do much better BUT it did fade, so we do an upgrade of the remedy pretty much every time. Changing his diet, finding out what foods he's sensitive too, and putting him on the remedy (which was Tuberculinum) all really has done wonders. He's still hyper and often does not pay attention, but he's doing a lot better. Seeing our homeopathic doctor has really helped our entire family. Good luck!! myboycal@...
