Attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity are the epidemic
of our age, but current treatment is woefully inadequate.
While our society wages an ongoing "war on drugs,"
millions of children are hooked on "speed" in
the form of Ritalin and amphetamines. Apart from serious
and permanent side effects, these do not remotely address
underlying causes and can in no way be regarded as a cure.
In the other hand home remedies for ADD and ADHD are a great
natural alternative if you want your child to remain drug
free.
Diagnoses such as learning disability, hyperactivity and
poor impulse control are usually attributed to a brain chemistry
imbalance. A better term might be "toxic brain syndrome,"
since the overriding factor is a constant bombardment of
the child's nervous system with pesticides, mercury, lead,
food additives, artificial sweeteners, vaccines, antibiotics
and allergenic foods. Each one of these factors has been
shown to significantly and profoundly impact developing
brain cells and combine together with devastating effects.
Home remedies for ADD and ADHD are free of chemicals and
side effects.
A full-scale assault on these problems requires a homeopathic,
herbal and nutritional program to undo the developmental
and biological damage caused by chronic exposure to toxins.
Home remedies for ADD and ADHD
have the short- term gain of relaxing and calming, while
improving brain function and neurotransmitter production.
In the long run, nervine and adaptogenic plants can protect,
detoxify and heal the nervous system—all without the significant
toxicity or side effects of drugs. See also Anxiety

Why use home remedies
attention deficit disorder?
The prescription medication methylphenidate
(Ritalin) has become the most commonly prescribed medication
to ease hyperactivity. Researchers are discovering, however,
that this medication has many potentially serious, longterm
side effects including decreased appetite, weight loss,
insomnia, slowed growth, increased heart rate, increased
blood pressure, a period of increased irritability and intolerance
at the onset of use, and the possibility of developing Parkinson's
disease. Increasing adverse reports have been released in
recent years, warning parents of the possible side effects
of Ritalin—with some reports even comparing it to cocaine.
Other prescription medications often prescribed
include detroamphetamine (Dexadrine, a stimulant that produces
calming effects equivalent to Ritalin), pemoline (Cylert,
a stimulant that has been restricted by the FDA to use as
a secondary medication because it can cause liver failure),
methamphetamine (Desoxyn), amphetamine-dextroamphetamine
combination (Adderall), and tricyclic antidepressants (if
depression is suspected). For periods of extreme anger and
aggression, a tranquilizer called thiordazine (Mellaril)
may be prescribed, but it should be used only as a last
resort. Various side effects, some of them seri ous, have
been reported with all of these medications.
Due to the many potentially harmful side
effects of the medications available for ADD/AD-HD sufferers,
a growing number of parents and health professionals are
turning to all or a combination of the following as a way
to reduce, and even possibly eliminate the symptoms
of ADD/ ADHD: alteration of diet; vitamin and mineral
supplementation; herbal remedies; counseling; and the love
and support of family, teachers, and friends. Many believe
that medicating the problem is merely masking the symptoms
without getting to the root of the problem.
