Medications for ADHD in the form of amphetamine salts are the subject of much heated debate in many medical., psychiatric and family circles. No wonder! The medications such as Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta and Vyvanse have all become household names. After reading about all this, I sometimes wonder if we will ever find the truth but here are a few pointers which should help us to keep an open mind. That means that we might be willing to try something else for our kids and not be slaves to current medical opinion, whatever that means!
Talking of ADHD treatments in general, some interesting trials have been done by the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) on preschoolers who have ADHD. The study is known as PATS (Preschoolers with ADHD Treatment Study) and researched 300 preschoolers with ADHD and looked at the effects of ADHD medication. It is not surprising that they found that they did not tolerate the side effects very well and that even though the doses were low, they still grew more slowly than normal children. This illustrates perfectly that the psychostimulants for preschoolers are a bad idea and that the NIMH would do well to look at alternatives to medications for ADHD.
One education expert, Dr. Gwynedd Lloyd from the University of Edinburgh, claims that ADHD is not even a medical condition. She maintains that as there is no blood test to diagnose ADHD and only a behavior checklist, the whole ADHD structure is a rather like a house of cards. Many experts are totally against using medication for what is basically challenging child behavior.
Medications for ADHD cannot go anywhere near solving difficult and inappropriate behavior although they will certainly calm a child down and help him to focus better.
Did you know that homeopathic remedies for ADHD can actually calm a child down, restore a balanced mood and help him to focus and concentrate as well? They can do all that without any side effects at all.
This treatment is scorned by the mainstream medical community but do not let that put you off.
Why not keep an open mind and learn what homeopathy can do for ADHD and what medications for ADHD can never achieve. The preparations I recommend on my website are all contained in the HPUS (The Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States in use since 1897) and manufactured in a FDA approved facility. There is also an unbelievable one year guarantee.
