Willy's amazing ADHD & bipolar recovery continues!

[Guest guest]

Dear friends:

 

For those persons and that received an earlier

version of this material I wish to apologize in

advance for the redundancy involved. This is a much

improved document to one that I sent out to a few

parties and this past week, and most of the

Conclusion of this document is new (original

material). Although it is no real excuse for this

mistake of " posting before my best effort was ready " ,

I am stuck with " library only " computer and Internet

access for the time being. I am simply doing the best

that I can without having a home computer and a " home

office " in which to work from.

 

For those persons and that have not seen any

of this material before, I welcome you to enjoy my son

Willy's rather heartwarming ADHD and childhood bipolar

recovery story.

 

Sincerely,

 

Allen Darman

 

 

Willy's amazing ADHD & bipolar recovery continues!

 

My son Willy Darman just gets better and better month

after month. He may represent one of the most profound

ADHD and childhood bipolar recovery stories in

existence.

 

The gist of my son Willy's rather amazing ADHD and

bipolar recovery story is as follows:

 

Willy was on Ritalin for about four and a half years

for an ADHD diagnosis. He also exhibited classic

bipolar disorder symptoms as young as six years old.

(At six years old Willy expressed thoughts about

suicide, and he would often talk non-stop at a very

rapid pace for over an hour, despite four other people

being with him in a car.) In addition to this, Willy

was a small, physically weak, and rather sickly child

throughout his entire childhood.

 

When Willy was in seventh grade (2003-2004), he one of

those very compromised children that seemingly would

not ever catch up to his peers in either academic

achievement or mental and physical health. Willy

appeared to be one of those kids that " just did not

have a chance " . Such is not the case today. Willy did

not only catch up to his peers academically, his

health and wellness for a child his age (16) certainly

seems to exceed " the norm " .

 

How did Willy's profound turnaround in health happen?

 

For the past thirty months (beginning in August 2004)

Willy has used nutritional supplements and other

natural measures (and no medication whatsoever) to

overcome his lack of wellness. Out of necessity, Willy

self-administered these nutritional supplements and

other natural measures to himself. (I am a

non-custodial parent, and my ex-wife did not play an

active role in Willy's natural healing. Although I may

have taught Willy much of what he needed to do in

order to become well, I was not there at home to help

him.) Beginning at age thirteen, my son Willy, a

learning impaired child, took full personal

responsibility for his own health. And he learned what

he had to, and did what he needed to, in order to

" cure himself " .

 

Last June (2006), at the completion of ninth grade,

Willy won the Principal's Award (the most prestigious

award given), as well as three other academic awards.

Willy also made the Honor Roll last June for the first

time in his academic career. He repeated making the

Honor Roll in November. Although Willy just missed

making the Honor Roll (by less than a point) this past

January, he did get a 98 on the only mid term NYS

Regents Exam that he took. And the best news to me is

that my son is now reading books! at home with some of

his free time (something he NEVER did as little as a

few years ago.)

 

The facts of Willy's physical recovery are even more

profound than his academic progress. In a thirty month

span of time Willy went from almost the weakest child

in his grade (of about 200 kids) to almost the

strongest child in the entire school (of about 600

kids) that he attends (New Hartford High School in New

Hartford, NY). To explain this, in the summer of 2004

Willy could barely bench press 60 lbs. four times.

Willy can now bench press almost 300 lbs. (295 lbs. is

his latest maximum). Willy can also leg press over 400

lbs., and do " the maximum " weight on most of the

machines at the health club he goes to as well. He

recently showed me that he can do one hand pull-ups

(three with one arm and one with the other).

Amazingly, Willy's tremendous gain in physical

strength came from him working out at home and in a

health club perhaps an aggregate of only four or five

hours a week! (Willy currently weighs 175 lbs. and is

sixteen years and five months old.)

 

The best part of Willy's recovery is that he no longer

has any ADHD or bipolar symptoms whatsoever!, after a

long history of very serious symptoms of both

throughout his childhood (from age six onward). He

overcame his lack of physical and mental wellness by

gaining a little bit of knowledge (it amazes us both

how little knowledge was needed), and by the use of

nutritional supplements and other natural measures

(such as some food allergy avoidance, regular

probiotics use, and some digestive enzyme use).

 

Conclusion

 

I am very disappointed in a medical model that

continues to prescribe " drugs and only drugs " for

bipolar disorder and ADHD. The medical model

apparently leaves it to those persons affected by such

illnesses (or their parents or other loved ones) to

find " common sense " answers such as that which my son

Willy used to become so profoundly well.

 

Thankfully, my son Willy has stumbled on to what may

be found to be " the healing idea of the century " some

day... that of " very broad based nutritional

supplementation taken all at once " . This " common sense

answer " (nutrients work in synergy with each other, of

course!) has generated one of the most profound mental

and physical health recoveries on the planet. This

" common sense answer " , in one version or another, will

inevitably generate many more profound health

recoveries similar to that of my son. And this " common

sense answer " does not just apply conceptually to

bipolar disorder and ADHD. It also happens to apply

conceptually to depression (it is destined to make all

antidepressants obsolete), substance abuse (from

alcohol to heroin), and many other physical

(degenerative) and mental illnesses as well.

 

Although it may take decades to occur, I cannot help

but feel that millions of persons will inevitably be

thankful to my son. The problem here of course is that

modern medicine only makes money from the prescription

of drugs. Out of fiscal self interest (involving many

tens of billions of dollars) modern medicine has to

summarily ignore my son Willy's amazing ADHD and

bipolar recovery and all of the invaluable lessons

that it may have taught us. The only hope for forward

motion of my son Willy's breakthrough discovery of

" very broad based nutritional supplementation taken

all at once " may have to come from private parties

that are outside the confines of drug oriented

medicine altogether.

 

Hoorah! for you Willy! Son, I am so proud of what you

did. And I expect to be proud of what you will do in

the future, as you continue to learn more, and then

apply this knowledge, in regard to becoming " the best

doctor of your own self " .

 

Sincerely,

 

Allen Darman

early December and one in late January) are readily
