Re: Joan.......help please

[Guest guest]

Hi, Everyone......Since we are in the process of moving again, I was going

through boxes of stuff that haven't been unpacked or touched in the past 3

yrs. A lot of it has to do with Gareth and nutritional things.

JOAN......I would like your feelings on these matters. Please e-mail me

privately if you don't want to discuss it openly with the digest. I have

always been very skeptical about nutritional supplements and herbal

remedies. One of the products listed the use of OCP (grape seed extract)

with Ginkgo Biloba as a treatment for ADD/ADHD. Another listed the use of

Vitamin A (cod liver oil) with SAM-e as a way to reconnect neurotransmissions

in the brain. I thought that SAMe and Ginkgo were basically the same

product. Do they do different things? Has anyone been giving their child

Ginkgo to improve memory functions and decrease ADD/ADHD? Has anyone tried

this SAMe with Vit. A to increase neurofunctions? Would these herbal

remedies be used in conjunction with meds like Risperdal, Luvox, or Ritalin?

I guess my feelings would be that I would prefer him on SAMe, Vit. A, and

Ginkgo than the hard psych. drugs he's on now. I am curious.........any one

out there tried these combos from the past? Thanks

Terry.........glad Matt came out of surgery OK. Sounds like a very bumpy 3

months ahead. Cheri.........welcome aboard.

Take care, Everyone. Prayers to all.

Margaret
