RE: NO MORE MEDICATION

[Guest guest]

I am giving my son supplements not DRUGS. He is on Fish Oil...and Carnaware

which is a formulation of L-Carsonine, Vitamin E and Zinc. None of which

are pharmaceutical DRUGS which I too am totally against. My thinking is

that perhaps Apraxia is caused by deficiencies and so if I can make up for

those by giving him these supplements and there are no negative effects;

then, I all for it. You are talking to a person who doesn't take any drugs

not even aspirin!

Please respond to

Did you all read the book NATURAL CURES? We are doing so much damage to our

kids by giving them all this medication. We need to find a better way.

THAT'S GREAT. I too give Fish Oils..and I too am learning NOT to take

TYLENOL and such and just VITAMINS...MULTI, E, C, and ECHANECIA if getting

sick.

while I agree that supplements are important you cannot dismiss the value of

certain meds for certain situations. Echinacea has been shown to have no value

whatsover in the recent research in stopping or preventing colds. There is

no evidence to suggest that even supplements are without problems. Anything has

risks associated with it including supplements. As a mental health

professional and a mother of a child with special needs I have seen numerous

children

and families for that matter who have been greatly helped by meds like ritalin

and adderall. I think each situation needs to be looked at individually, what

is good for one may not be good for others and vice versa. So while it is

important to know what we are taking ourselves and giving our children, I think

we

do a great disservice to everyone if both medical and natural treatments are

not carefully examined. Don't forget that a small boy recently died from

chelation therapy which is a natural treatment and that many women are greatly

helped by antidepressants for post partum and other types of depressions.

Thank goodness some of us are still rationale. I have a child with ADHD and

Concerta and Zoloft have made a huge change in his life. People just seem to me

narrow minded at times.

Great response.

Keep in mind and that's the whole point of the book NATURAL CURES the FDA

and MEDS will lose money if we all stopped buying that and only used NATURAL

CURES..instead of their $80 pill.

Up to you guys, just a thought.

Rather than tit for tat..let's just say you treat your child with what deem

appropriate and let's leave it at that...I was speaking for my CHILD not

anyone else's.

I agree and I didn't mean to come across that way. It was just mainly a

thought and wanted to know what you all thought of medication and if any

read that book, that's all. I wish you all the best with your child.

ps. , I agree with your approach. It's just that some people get all

defensive about comments/suggestions one might make just to put another

perspective out there. Reading Natural Cures could not hurt anyone, it's

just another PERSPECTIVE. I agree our society is too dependent on Big

Pharma to cure everything.

[Guest guest]

I consider using both medicine and natural methods. Sometimes we have to

weigh both sides for the best results. I agree that we should try natural

methods I have the book " Natural Cures " and wish I borrowed it from the

library. The book doesn't provide a written cure but instead refers you to

other published books or websites. The part that upset me was that I bought

this book only to find out that he will give you the cures if you go to his

website and subscribe for a fee. He provides a lot of information on

medicine cover-ups but he tells you he isn't allowed to publish the answers

to cures in his book. While I can agree with some of his information and the

need to use natural cures I still will turn to some medicines with caution

and read all warnings applied to them.

When my youngest son was 8 months old for the first time in his life he had

three of the worst seizures in eight hours, the doctor gave him

Phenylbarbitol and his seizures stopped completely. He was off the medicine

in one year and I am grateful to whoever discovered this drug. My older son

was prescribed Strattera for his ADHD and became depressed and almost

suicidal before I learned this drug was the cause of his depression. I am

upset with the FDA for releasing this drug. I worked at a Health food store

and witnessed a coworker in pain from a kidney stone. The doctor he saw

suggested surgery but my boss gave him a natural tonic to use that had him

pass it with some discomfort within days. We have to use our best judgment

with the information given us and weigh the differences of what works

natural or not. The best thing about childrensapraxia.net is that they share

information about what works for free and we decide based on great parent

feedback, Thank you for the suggestion and Thank you Myra for your

supportive feedback.

I agree with you completely. In my life I have had doctors want to do surgery

when a much more conservative approach could have been taken. Each time I opted

for the non surgical cure. What my household has found is a product called

Reliv. This is a nutritional supplement in a synergistic blend. My 9yo

daughter with apraxia has had wonderful reports from both her speech path and

her special ed teacher regarding her effort and focus this school year. I have

heard other parents speak about their ADHD or ADD students becoming focused

while using this product. Even the teenagers and adults in my household have

had wonderful health benefits. you may e-mail me privately and get more

information. Another place for more information

about Reliv is reliv.com. I have been aware of the company for over two years

and purchasing product for about 8 months and I only have praise for the company

and the product.
