Need suggestions for 7yr old daughter's health problem

December 14, 2005

I am new to this group, but a firm believer of exhausting natural

remedies before moving to modern drugs. However, one of my children,

age 7 was diagnosed bipolar and obsessive compulsive a few years ago.

She was sooo unmanageable both at home and at school that medication

became the only option, she is currently on two medicines-abilify and

seroquel and I am totally 100% against them, but until I find a

natural remedy to the behavior, I don't have much of an alternative!

I am desperate to get her off them so that her life isn't complicated

by the adverse affects of taking these stinking drugs the rest of her

life. I also know that getting her off drugs will not be an easy

task, but I believe a crucial one. Anyone out there in a similar

position or successfully dealt with herbal treatment for psychological

issues? Suggestions, tips, supplement ideas to help ween her off the

drugs, anything would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My first suggestion would be to change her diet (changing the whole family would

be better because then she doesn't think it's because of her) completely to

whole, unprocessed, organic foods. By doing this, you eliminate so many

additives that we don't even know about. While I do not say that it is the

cause of every disorder, there are people who have found a significant

improvement of symptions when they changed their diet in this way. This is not

an herbal " treatment " of the disorder, but rather a method to find a cause.

If you change her diet completely for six months, and see no change in her

symptoms, then you can look elsewhere. It's worth trying.

Thanks Terri for your recommendations. I guess I should have noted

that I already practice eating a very healthy diet for the most

part. I look at every single label of everything I buy. I buy a

majority of my foods at a local health food store, organic whenever

possible, I make my own bath and body products and cleaning products

as well. I even use organic infant formula for my two youngest when

they were weaned from breast feeding. My kids never get sick like

other children do in their school so it makes me proud to know I am

doing something right. My two year old has never so much as had a

cold. There is room for improvement, I have went back to more

processed foods lately, unfortunately because of the convenience,

which I know I need to cut out. I am also trying to get wheat out

of her diet in case she has a food allergy I don't know of

(suggestion of local health food store). I would like to try to

make some tinctures for several purposes, including my daughters

condition. I am very thankful for your thoughts, I definitely do

need to make some improvements in some areas. take care

Thank you very much, I have thought about the Cleansing, just not

sure the best way for a child. I used to do a lot better at the

whole foods diet, but have kind of slid off the wagon lately. I do

however, buy a lot of my foods at a natural health food store and

organic whenever possible. Thanks for the ideas

Usually, with bipolar and OCD, the brain chemicals are out of whack.

Usually, the culprit is a deficit of dopamine, or serotonin, or both.

Drugs usually only make things worse. Most of the " brain " drugs out

there either ARE narcotics, or at least have molecular structures that

VERY closely resemble them, and thus may have the same effects and

addictive/toxic properties. You may also want to know that most

prescription drugs out there are made of coal tar and petroleum

products/by-products and are extremely toxic to the body. " Modern

Medicine " is actually extremely barbaric and ineffective, but then

again you probably knew that

But there ARE REAL remedies! In addition to going organic and

whole-grain and everything, I would also make sure to clear out her

energy meridians via acupuncture. I've experienced acupuncture

myself, and I can assure you than though it usually involves needles,

they DO NOT hurt. I have a hand-held electronic device that can clear

out my blocked/unbalanced meridians without needles.

Hope this helps! If you have any questions, plz feel free to contact me.

Hugs,

--Jyoti
