Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi Barb, Please remember to check the drug interaction between homeopathic remedies and prescription drugs!! Some can have minor side effects while others can cause a lot of distress or reduce the effectiveness of one or the other! I did not want to expose my children to any chemicals so we tried different things, including valerian. We found that it just wasn't strong enough to replace the misfiring neurotransmitters in their brains! When they were on SSRI's, the tended to require the maximum dose for it to work. Every year I attend the research seminars at the OCFoundation conferences and unfortunately there still is no concrete evidence making homeopathy a choice for treatment. According to the research, up to date as of last summer, there is not adequate nor conclusive information or any legitimate studies that give evidence that homeopathy can work. CBT remains the first line for children. take care of yourself, we all go through good and bad times, but in the end, you will survive. , in canada (presenter: www.ocfoundation.org ) --- barbnesrallah <barbnesrallah@...> wrote: ....
