ADHD (was:) Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia, 16 yr son

[Guest guest]

Jennifer, great to see a Mom who improved her child

with natural means!

 

There are many good natural remedies on the market,

and different measures do the trick for different

kids.

The list " ADHD is nothing but " has a gazillion endings.

 

We know one thing for sure: if the condition exists,

( if it does, I have it, it isnot caused by a Ritalin

deficiency.

I wrote this for another group a while back.

 

Today's kids are the canaries in the proverbial

coalmine. Except there is no outside (yet) to go to.

We have never had this many man-made compounds

in the food supply and the environment.

Let's not use the term " chemical " , since everything

can be described as chemical.

 

Even if individual factors have been tested, nobody

tested the whole cocktail. What we can do is take

straws off the camel's back so to speak.

Keep our own home as toxin-free as possible, and

feed those poor kids the best diet possible.

 

It ALL works.

 

We do know one thing: whatever causes ADD, it is not

Ritalin deficiency. I am Ms Natural. Try Food first is

my motto.

 

And: I met a nine-year old online, from Holland where

ADD is not nearly as fashionable, who said that his

first day on Ritalin was the best day of his life.

Who am I to quarrel with that?

 

Drugs work instantly, and in some cases they may be

helpful while the deeper causes of the problem are

being addressed.

Sort of like training wheels for the brain.

 

AND: a child on a drug has an even greater need for

whole-food nutritional support and for herbal formulas

that support the liver and kidneys to cope with the drug.

 

There is so much ideology surrounding this, it drives

me nuts. There is too much fighting over moot points.
