Re: Need ideas for ADHD support groups please......

[Guest guest]

I know of a support group called CHADD (sonething about children and adults with

AD(H)D) but I'm not sure if it's a local thing for us or a national

organization. If you Google CHADD you might find something.

Need ideas for ADHD support groups please......

I have a friend who's looking for ADHD support groups. She's tried

the Feingold Diet, GF diet, and enzymes and nothing helped her

child, so currently medication has been the biggest help thus far.

She needs to find others who understand her situation and not just

listen to those who say, " You're not disciplining enough! "

Thanks for any suggestions!

I'm pretty sure CHADD is totally pro-meds and doesn't believe food

has any effect on ADHD.

Diane Craft, has a lot of experience working with ADHD children. Her tapes are

rather basic in nature, but very good for getting someone to grasp the concept

of the connection of biomedical relationship. Her program, focuses on the

basics theory of aphodophilus (3 times a day), and then phasing in GSE 1-3 drops

3 X a day. And then she goes into a bunch of other things such as the EFA's

supplementing, and the B vitamins etc. Her into tapes are $20, and I found it

to be very helpful. She is for real with a heart of gold and has a lot of

experiences. The other thing I like about her is that you have an option to do

a phone consultation for $125 for an hour to an hour and a half appointment, for

what she defines as non-academic issues. (I have not done this though so am not

personally recommending it.) Although this is a lot of money, I have found some

of my best resources come from gathering the summary of information as opposed

to having to sign up for a series of appointments.

But if your friend has done Feingold and enzymes with no help, she probably is

not a novice to all of this and Craft's input might be already addressed. Has

she addressed yeast? Or maybe a food sensitivity she is missing, possibility

could be picked up via an IGG test? I was on an ADHD group at one time and they

were open/pro drugs, and mostly spoke of their harrowing stories of dealing with

the behavior issues with no answers other than " we can relate " . I'd suggest

trying to find a group that specializes in the holistic/biomedical link to

actually get answers.

Good luck,

Kari

Thanks Kari and others....She's looking for people who can say, " I

understand " and " I can relate " because, right now, the people

closest to her don't understand and feel it's a parental issue,

which all of us here know it's not.

Will forward this information...

Thanks again!
