Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Have you tried B vitamins? Especially B6 and B14. Also, my chiropractor has " attention pills " for kids. A blend of fish oil and other things. I bought these for my 11 year old and she had trouble swallowing them, chewed one up, and never took any more. She did, however, report having a better day at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 ADD/ADHD can be controlled with diet. Have you tried the Feingold diet? It is excellent for control of ADD/ADHD. It is as natural as possible. No colorings, dyes, preservatives, additives etc. Meat is lean and free range, so you won't have any feed chemicals, dairy is raw milk and raw cheese with no coloring added. Sugars are stevia. No refined products much like a gluten-free diet. Also, Rescue Remedy is good for ADHD. It was recommended for my son who has Autism and is also ADHD. We also use Biofeedback, EEG and other protocol for ADD/ADHD therapy. My kids are meds free. Jenny Kernan Biofeedback Therapist --- handerson4388 <handerson4388 wrote: > Hi I'm Heather from Va.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Oh the Feingold Diet....... Oh the memories..... If rumor is true, this diet has made some major changes in TASTE...... I was on this for the better part of my growing up years. From the age of 5 all the way up to 13. IT was <AKK> in the first order. Try having cardboard, sand, and all sorts of BLAND daily. However, what I hear is that with everything that has evolved with natural ingredients, it has a taste now. I WOULD give this diet a try. IT DOES WORK. I am walking proof of that. And, I am 38 years old. - Jenny Kernan ADD/ADHD can be controlled with diet. Have you tried the Feingold diet? It is excellent for control of ADD/ADHD. It is as natural as possible.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hi Heather, I attended a seminar once on ADD/ADHD and they sited several studies where this condition can be significantly helped with Essential Fatty Acids. Particularly DHA at 100mg per day. It is a long term change, dont expect results over night. Usually 30-60 days (perhaps longer, everyone is different) there will be significant changes. I wish I could remember the specific studies but it was so long ago. Hope that helps. Kim Rico Pabon & Kimberly Lemieux Mi Encanto Arabians Where the Magic Begins..... Abarakidabra standing at stud.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 As a former ADHD kid, I can attest that both posts of advice thru diet and b vitamines can help. FOOD = DRUG. be careful what you feed him is great advice. NO soda. Try honey, or raw sugar instead of processed sugar, all things in moderation etc. For me, I also needed to meditate, if you can get him ot stare at something a few feet away, (change distance periodically . . his eyes are still growing/forming) for 5 minutes at a time, it will help him control his mind. (get meditaiton advice from his Physician, or an appropriate person knowledgable with ADHD) LOTS of former anger. the meditaion gave me a bit of control, but I also needed to feel " respected " and at least have folks listen to me not tell me about myself. " you are . . . x " was about the wrongest thing to do for me. What do you feel? was good, but it needed to be combined with LIERALLY LADIES! a 'glossary " because I just did not have a word for how I was feeling most guys are happy or angry, give them a list of chohices and you get closer to what is really going on. OK So specifically, use this train him on how to confront others and YOU use it ALWAYS when confronting him. He will follow the rule if it applies to EVERYONE but all hell will break loose if he is singled out. And even in my adult mind, rightfully so . . . still hyper, just trying to contribute here. a scenario on how to confront an ADHD kid, guy whomever . . is an acronym about " Open the Front Door " OPEN = " I've Observed " Johnny, Ive observed that . . . . . describe event here state what expectation this behavior is out of balance with FRONT = " " I Feel " Johnny, I feel disrespected when you do that DOOR = what I desire is that we go back to our understanding and that you do xxx instead. then get an agreement. ALSO use this as a training tool when he is angry. Practice having him use it on something in the past that has less (I know it will still anger him but the fury will be lessened) emotion attached to it. remember last week when this happened? lets try this new aproach on it, and see if things might have worked out easier . . . so lets go back to when it happened, remember you were angry? OK hold on, let it go, it is over but htis will help us both train. Now remember when I was upset? ok lets use it there and see how it works Ok, Johnny, I NEED YOUR HELP I got some information that should HELP ME when i get upset, and I am asking you, because of how much I love you, and because of how special you are in my life, and because of your and my relationship actually isvery special, only you can help me be as successful with this as I want and need to be. AND I am going to ask everyone in the household to participate. Will you work with me on this? NOTE: you MUST get his agreement, put into perspective that he is assisting you, but as a side-line, he will also learn this tool, as will everyone. If you have an Q's be sure to ask, I'm glad to help as I can. If you are persistant and diligent, this will free him and be Golden to your entire family Best of luck Blessings, Love and Abundance Michael Phoenix Rising In life, One can take a starving dog and make him prosperous and he will not bite you. that is the primary difference between dogs and Men Mark Twain Energy Healing Work - Psycho-neuro-immuniological-resonance - Spiritual Counseling Clearing Negative and Detrimental Energies. . .

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 HI, our oldest son struggled with mod-severe ADHD. Here's what we tried that had some success: ** Passionflower or Passionflower-Valerian liquid extract, added to juice. It worked short-term, the effects would last until school lunch- time. Also helped him sleep. **The Feingold Diet, to see if he was sensitive to food dyes and salicylate containing foods. He was a 'no' to salicylates but a huge 'yes!' to all food dyes, esp. reds and yellow food colorings. Within 30 min. of eating these dyes, he would become crazy! **Calcium chewables helped calm him some. **Structure & Schedule, Rewards for Behavior - he needed this but we never got really great at it, being rather unstructured ourselves **We also tried B-complex, enzyme powders and various restrictive diets such as dairy-free, wheat-free, sugar/caffeine-free. They helped his allergies, but didn't seem to affect his ADHD much. I'd love to say these were " the " answers, but he eventually needed stronger stuff. It's been tough to treat him. But don't give up! Each child is different, so keep trying and you'll find what helps him most. Barb , " handerson4388 " <handerson4388 wrote: > > Hi I'm Heather from Va.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Quantum Biofeedback is so different from Neuro-Biofeedback. I have so much more to work with than any other Biofeedback device on the market. I'm sorry you felt it didn't work. I know it does for my son and myself. I can sure understand your frustration. I have yet to have a client not respond to therapy. Have you done a parasite cleanse? ADD and ADHD can also be caused or attribute symptoms to parasites. Stress and anxiety will so make the symptoms worse. Sugar if processed in most forms will still be an issue. It has to be something like Stevia. Beet or cane sugar, fructose etc are terrible on the nervous system.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 A big yes for our son, also adhd, and nearly 15 now. Gluten free diet has been key for him. He was diagnosed with food allergies when he was 4; 2.5 years of all allergy foods removed (you name it, he was allergic to it! Fortunately, he has always been an adventurous eater, and it wasn't a problem for him to adapt his diet), and then they were slowly reintroduced. Some he is still allergic to, others he's fine with. Gluten and unnatural food additives are big no-nos, especially red and yellow food colouring. Within a few minutes of ingesting he goes off the wall (irrational anger being the most common response). I've given up gluten as well, except on occasion, and find I function much better without it. I get bloated, tired and gain weight eating wheat especially. Quickie recipe to share, to get your started - both my kids love this: 2 cups brown rice flour 2 cups corn flour (very fine ground) 2 heaping tsp aluminium-free baking powder 1/2 tsp salt (or you can leave it out) 4 large eggs or 6 small eggs 750 ml milk (any kind of milk is fine - rice milk, soya milk - though we avoid soya products as we are all sensitive to it - nut milks; we usually use raw goat or cow's milk) Your favourite sliced fruit. Stone fruits are in season here now, so I've been using apricots and peaches on it. Preheat oven to 200C or 375F. Have 2 10-inch cast iron skillets ready (this recipe is for 2 skillets - you can halve the recipe for 1 skillet). Hot oven is critical. Combine dry ingredients. Put your cast iron pan in the oven with a knob of butter (about 1 tbsp). Whilst the butter is melting, add the eggs and milk, stirring to combine well. Remove pans from oven and pour batter into pan, spreading it evenly. Arrange fruit, sprinkle with a little brown sugar or evaporated cane juice (like Sucanat), cinnamon, and pop in the oven. Wait till it's golden and the fruit is bubbling. About 20 minutes. Remove and drizzle with apple syrup if you have it, just a tiny wee bit. We have this for dinner sometimes!

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi Heather, I am a family therapist and have treated ADD/ADHD children and adults for 25+ years. Some things have been mentioned and they work with some children such as Feingold Diet and nutrition and supplements. Here are some other alternatives to consider: 1)Violin lessons before the age of 12 or 13 helps to tune the left and right brain and the crossover between the two. I prefer Suzuki method from age 3-13. 2)Neuro bio feedback in an office or at home 3)Rife F/G If you can not afford one, send me a request and I will send you my paper on how to use your computer to do Rife type frequency treatments 4)Vibe machine treatments See who has one near you that you can use at vibemachine.com 5)Brain Gym or One Brain 6)EFT 7)cranialsacral massage 8)Chi Kung healing treatments and best of all: 9)Audiotherapy a passive and highly effective high frequency therapy which I do with almost all patients. Takes 5-15/minutes/1- 2x's/day. Calms down almost all children, very good for bright and Indio children. Effective for learning, concentration, memory and retention. IQ will increase from 5-15 points and it will correct other problems at the same time For more info on this if interested, send me an e-mail request. I do nutritional profiles of all children and look at individual and family Hx. Some children have heavy metals(lead is most common, then Al. and mecury) or other toxins and need to gently detox (See Hanna Kroeger and Hilda Clark).Then we start on diet,foods and supplements as needed. Balanced exercise is important and check sleep patterns. Bed in Northern hemisphere should face North, no water beds, energetically check home and school, Check EMF's and radon gas. No mirowaves. I use herbal and homeopathic remedies with patients. Eliminate chlorine, floride, white sugar, salt and flour, all chemicals in food and in the house for laundry and cleaning, no chemical drinks,no sodas,koolaid or gatoraid, no aspertaine or sucalose, no MSG. The last three are brain poisons. Try Miracle II products for safe detox and household cleaning. Check for head injuries(THI/CHI). Check on imunizations and detox effects of these and mercury preservatives. And the list goes on. The audiotherapy has made the biggestest difference in these children. There are several methods of doing this. I have trained in most of them and went to Europe to learn methods not done here. (See: Dr. Tomatis and Dr. Berard and read, The Mozart Effect written 20 years ago by a Tomatis student) I brought them home to introduce them to the USA 12-15 years ago and am one of the most knowledgeable therapists in the USA on how to use these therapies with child and adults. In the past 8-10 years, I have developed protocols to use with seniors for post-stroke, neurological diseases and have been almost 100% successful with reversing memory loss and advanced alzheimers disease. Contact me for more information and/or questions. Namaste, David Levy,LCSW PhD,abd In , " ^..^ FIRE ^..^ " <TamiLApple1968 wrote: > > Oh the Feingold Diet.......

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Homeschooling might make things better. I have a " problem child " , and always thought about homeschooling. Figured I'd be too crabby and it would be worse, but when I finally did it, having more time to figure out how to deal with him has made everything better. Most school employees don't have the time, energy or inclination to deal with any problems that kids have, then the kids get away with all kinds of bad behavior, and think that's just the way it is. My son is still one hell of a handfull, but with my constant attention, and calling him on his behavior, things are no longer spiraling hopelessly out of control. good luck!!

Did I get mixed up somewhere? I thought you were the one describing yourself as a " Microwave Mom " ? So I pictured you as putting a ready-to-go frozen something into the infernal machine. All that ready to go stuff is LOADED with junk. Even some of the stuff in health food stores. See the interview with Dr Blaylock on http://newstarget.com Hey, I even checked the archives, to make sure MY ADD didn't get in the way here,. Yup, that was you.

You say he is on no additives. Does that mean you are cooking from scratch now? The trouble with food-based treatments is that it often takes a while. You don't get results that fast. If you are used to the instant result of, say, Ritalin, you may think nothing is working. SOME people notice an instant result when they remove wheat for instance. But not everyone. Dr Phil Bate has created a CD that is helping a lot of ADD kids, seems to work for a fraction of the price of bio-feedback, and you just plug it in while the kid sleeps, so at least there is no stress about dragging him into sessions etc. Worth looking into. http://drbate.com For the record: I make NO money off this one. The trouble with ADD symptoms is that the ROOT cause for one may be different from someone else. So you have to attack it from a lot of angles. If the kid is free of all additives and toxins etc, but he has learning disabilities and they are trying to teach him in a way that makes no sense to him, he will still act out. And likewise, if he has the best possible teacher but his brain is full of poisons put there by parasites and heavy metal poisoning, he won't be able to take anything in anyway. Do you get the picture? You might also think and/and instead of either/or. There may be a place for the ADD meds, in combination with natural methods. A child on medication needs good food and a functioning digestive system even more. And, last but not least: the poor kid has to constantly put up with being the one in need of fixing. Some Emotional Freedom Technique can really help with the extra burden of that. It really is easy once you see it done. http://tinyurl.com/ygv7ur This link goes to the page on ADD.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Please study the book An Alternative Approach to Allergies by Theron G. Randolph and Ralph W. Moss (any health practitioner reading this post should also read this book!). I truly believe that at least 90% of hyperactivity and anger is related to either allergies or toxicity and this book goes into quite the mind boggling detail. Often times when you start to detoxify, symptoms can get worse but once the toxins are gone, it should get better if he's on a good diet. Perhaps your son isn't actually eliminating the toxins. Some people do worse with detox. Depending on what kind of detox you're doing, if the kidneys and liver aren't strong enough, the toxins will just stay in the body. After trying many forms of detox there are only two things I've found that have a real benefit. Ionic foot detox baths and liquid zeolite. Of course he will also need to drink a lot of water or herbal tea (try Gano/Rooibos). Ganoderma aka Reishi has gotten rid of some people's ADD (email me for my friend's daughter's amazing story and how to buy). There's a " baby " version that's packed with amino acids that fix the brain. I can also send you a file about a study a doctor did using magnets with ADHD kids. The results were very good. EFT may work wonders (www.emofree.com) and could NAET (www.naet.com). Homeschooling is definitely less stressful for the kids but the mother is another matter (we homeschool!) Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 as you can see there are a lot of cures for adhd and add, the best option is to start with a brain mapping of the patient and figure out what he/she needs. then you can work with a practitioner to build in the appropriate components. if you need referrals i know of a couple and can recommend. it's worth it in the beginning to do it right. best. , " Ieneke van Houten " <ienvan wrote: > > Heather Anderson wrote: > <yes thanks for info..tryed rescue rememdies to no effect.. > we did biofeedback and 4000 dollars later to no effect... > we do the low sugar diet and no additives and so on to > no effect.. you see my frustration/> > > Dear Heather, > So sorry, I didn't realize you had done all that > already!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Heather:< yes joined flylady..> Good onya! Less chaos in the house really helps. I was so lucky my mother was BO (born organized). <im in process of switching from frozen food cooking to natural cooking..> Smart woman! May I remind you of the Saving Dinner service? It will make it so much easier on you! <i cut down his milk intake he only takes it at school > If he truly is allergic to milk, that will still be too much, but he may not be. <He usually has pancakes, waffles, or eggs for breakfast..> Eggs are good! Pancakes or waffles are frozen or from a package, right? Making pancakes or waffles from scratch can be a bit of a challenge if you are all trying to rush out the door in the morning.... How about toast? Does he like smoothies? Hot cereal? <dinners alternate from chicken nuggets to fish fillets.. > Would he be willing to try a regular chicken breast or drumstick, instead of the pre-breaded stuff? Likewise, would he eat regular fish? a hamburger every now and then.. he does love his bread and hamburgers and he gets mad when i don't let him have the hamburger or cheese..> There is nothing wrong with a beef pattie made from good whole ground beef. It really is not hard. Is he very picky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 yea im leaning towards that end...seeming impossible any other way.. and i'm not the most patient soul so I was hoping to avoid it you knwoo/ jmr1290 <jomarex wrote: Homeschooling might make things better. I have a " problem child " , and always thought about homeschooling. Figured I'd be too crabby and it would be worse, but when I finally did it, having more time to figure out how to deal with him has made everything better. Most school employees don't have the time, energy or inclination to deal with any problems that kids have, then the kids get away with all kinds of bad behavior, and think that's just the way it is. My son is still one hell of a handfull, but with my constant attention, and calling him on his behavior, things are no longer spiraling hopelessly out of control. good luck!!
