Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Welcome back Jean! Well, an organic mostly vegen diet would be a start.. TOTAL NUTRITION every day would be a great help. Probably the nerve sedative formula would be an idea... and definitely a phone call to Doc to refine your healing process for this young man.

We have a little boy who we adopted internationally andhas just turned 9. He is a pretty messed-up little guy and has beencollecting labels from the psych establishment - RAD (reactive attachmentdisorder) PTSD (post tramatic stress disorder) and Bipolar. He has VERYEXTREME behaviors (smearing feces all over himself and other self abuse,mean as a mad hornet, sexually agressive etc...) and just does not seem towant to have a stake in the human race. He has been abused in about everyway imaginable for most of his up till last January when we got him. He hasbeen perscribed Zoloft (sent him off the deep end) which he is not onanymore and of course the psych wants to try more medications on him. Shehas also mentioned having him commited more than once.I do not like this approach!!!! This is the first time I've dealt withpsychiatrists and I've acquired a very low opinion of them. I was wonderingif there are any effective alternative measures we can try to help our sonbefore he grows from a very disturbed little boy grows into a very disturbedman and before he seriously hurts himself or someone else. I have beenusing using natural measures for physical healing for years but I am at atotal loss in this situation.Thanks,Jenn S. = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Please give doc a call. Drugs are the LAST thing this little boy needs. I'll keep you in my thoughts. -Shelby AJS [ajschwilling] Wednesday, October 15, 2003 12:17 PM herbal remedies [herbal remedies] Hello again and question Hi, I was on this list a couple years ago and dropped off due to some very busy times.
