I am sick of my kid being a science experiment...try this drug it might work, no, ok try this one, you have to wait for it to build up, this drug shouldn't have that affect, blah blah blah.
I am through with traditional medicines for now - toooo many side affects. Today we went to see a homeopathic doctor for my 10 yr old with severe ADHD and BP. She gave him an ion foot cleanse to start and would like to detox him from all the crud he has built up in his body. He was tired afterwards but immediately afterwards he was calmer and the circles under his eyes were lighter. I'm really hoping this works and then maybe we can consider some other traditional medical strategies. If it works I'll let you know but at least I believe it is a step in the right direction as my son's psych has recommended his removal from public school while she "tweaks" his meds. Tweaks - we've had facial tics, severe agression, anal bleeding! Sick of this and it has been 7 years since we started down the traditional medicine road. Has anybody else had success with natural supplements, detoxification or heck does anybody have any input?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Good Luck!

Also, the other day I was reading about the latest studies for ADHD, and they are finding that people with ADHD are usually lacking "Essential Fatty Acids", ex) Omega 3, 6 , Flaxseed. The study found the control group showed marked improvement when this deficiency was addressed. Check with your child's Doctor to see if adding a natural supplement of Omega would be okay. Also, studies have shown that Omega helps with depression as well.
My Doctor, put me on Omega several years ago, and it seems to help. Good Luck!
