Usually people regard natural ADHD remedies with some suspicion and skepticism. Actually, the more I read and learn about this subject, the more I am convinced that natural ADHD remedies are much safer that conventional psychostimulants.
Why do I think that? There are several reasons. One is that Dr. William Pelham, a world renowned expert on ADHD, is increasingly sceptical about the long term use of these medications. His studies also show that over a two or three year period, the effects of these meds will actually wear off.
The FDA is so concerned that it is not taking any chances at all with these meds and have issued them all with the maximum warning there is, the black box. Not surprising as we are basically dealing here with amphetamines which are still a Class II drug, a controlled substance. That is why students who use these meds, especially Adderall, for studying all night, are actually breaking the law because they do not have a prescription for them.
So, while these medications can actually relieve some of the symptoms of ADHD such as restlessness, distractability and impulsivity, the benefits seem to end there. The main problem of course is that they will not help the child to distinguish bad behavior from good and his own problems of short attention span and being hyperactive will not help him at all.
So are natural ADHD remedies actually safe and above all, are they effective? Let us take homeopathic remedies for a start. Did you know that there are actual homeopathic ingredients which can restore the mind body balance in a child? It is this imbalance, usually manifested by the brain transmitters not working at full speed or efficiency that is causing the problem.
The ingredients used are Hyoscyamus which can really calm kids down and reduce impulsive and hyperactive behavior. Then there is Arsen Iod which can help to equalize balance after an outburst and Verta Alb which is great for soothing nerves.
These ingredients are working to restore the lost balance. They can do that without any side effects at all and there are no long term effects which is very irritating for the medical community. They have responded by funding research projects to demonstrate that homeopathy is false and nothing but a sham. Science may not be able to explain all this but the results speak for themselves because there are millions of adherents all over the world, including the Queen of England.
So, there we have it. We have two options. We can either go for ADHD meds and risk our children losing their appetite and having stunted growth and not sleeping at night. Or we can choose the safest of all natural ADHD remedies which are the homeopathic cures which are becoming enormously popular. Why not be part of the movement for change for safer and more effective medication?
