Are There Natural Non-

Drug Alternatives To ADD/ADHD Medications That Could Help Your Child?

For individuals and families familiar with ADD/ADHD and its impact on behavior regarding family life, school performance and socialization at all levels, I am sure you have already had to make some difficult decisions regarding medication. Great strides have been made in understanding and managing this common child-hood disorder. Research shows ADD/ADHD can be due to genetics, heavy metal toxicities like lead and mercury, nutritional deficiencies including magnesium, zinc and essential fatty acids as well as food allergies.

The therapeutic options or choices for helping your child are multi-faceted requiring experienced direction of your health care practitioner, assistance from teachers and schools, cooperation from the child as well as your parental involvement. Furthermore, there are natural non-drug alternatives that are safe and effective for ADHD. These natural ingredients work together to improve brain neurotransmittance, concentration, attention and control of hyperactivity.
