In the last few years, we have spoken with many parents who state that they feel helpless about their children who are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD). Their specific complaints:
(a) Doctors are quick to prescribe medication that produce side effects
(b)The lack of information about natural treatments for ADD
Parents tell us, "Why should I start my 12-year old on medicines that I'm not sure are safe or will bring about complications? It raises my antennas when we're pumping young bodies with medicines containing strong chemicals.”
It's intuitve to be cautious about giving children ADD/ADHD medication, some of which have caused controversy among medical circles.
ADD is attracting a lot of attention (no pun intended) because studies show that it is behind poor academic performance, rebellious behaviour and anti-social qualities. Over 1.6 million suffer from this mental disorder according to the American Psychiatric Association. Five percent of American children are diagnosed with ADD; that represents about two million American children.
How do you know if your child has ADD? If your child exhibits these symptoms, have your doctor examine him or her: your child cannot focus on his school work or on simple tasks, is nervous and anxious (your child can't sit still and wanders around frequently), talks excessively, tends to lose or misplace things. Some children with ADD also interrupt people who are talking and have no sense of organization.
Ask your doctor about natural remedies that can either replace prescriped meds or be taken as complementary homeopathic treatment. Your doctor is the best person to advise you.
We recommend Attend by Vaxa to those with ADD or have children with attention deficit disorder. It contains essential nutrients that promote brain health by reinforcing neurotransmitters and a person's memory functions. For more information, go to: ADD/ADHD Alternative Treatment.
