Has anyone tried natural supplements instead of medication to control ADD? I really do not want to go straight to medication with out trying to monitor the lifestyle first. Any suggestion?

Diet Therapy For Adhd
I just finished an ebook that addresses diet therapy for ADHD. Since the site is new, I have few testimonies. I would love to send you a copy of the book, as well the bonus ADHD cookbook in exchange for your honest assessment. Drop me an email and I'll send it right over. I think you will find the information very useful.

Blessings to you,
Christine Abraham

Elimination diet works well, also cookbooks already out there, such as diabetic or celiac cookbooks can work wonders for a person with AD/HD becuase they can get rid of sugars that over-run the bloodstream.

Eliminate ALL high fructose corn syrup, all drinks besides water and 100% orange juice or 100% apple juice and white flour and its products.

adhd and kids
well all i can say is these kids are a blessing,they are here to build and strenthen us, yes i along as many ohters would like a gold medal thankyou.well done parents.
Our son, process of elimination with his diet was our key, no preservatives. sodium nitrate was a trigger(processed meats)colourings, additives all nastys.he couldnt even have bread.
I have him on a tsp daily of Flaxseed oil-linseed. and magnesium with multi vitamin.(which has helped wiht athsma also We had 10 years of extreemly difficult and many tears on my behalf but now we are winning. and homeschooling. i said i could have had 10 kids and that one would have been more demanding than the lot.
He is now 13 and we are dealing wiht normal teenage stuff.
I also found discipline a huge key and making him aware of himself and how he looks to others, at 12 he finally understood. he was very good at pressups, rarely now does he need them

Attend Supplement for ADHD
Ethan has used Attend for a number of years. It's quite good. We tried a number of other supplements before that didn't seem to do the trick. The site we buy from offers a money-back guarantee but some sites don't. I would make sure you buy from a site that offers the guarantee. What works for one person might not work for another. Such is ADD...

supplements and ADHD
I have a son with ADHD and LD. He is very bright. He started on strattera but became depressed taking it. We have a family history of mental disorders so this was not all that shocking to me. Our doctor put him on another med to counter act the depression. Then the aggression started. So let's try another med. You get the picture.

I decided to try supplements. There are many out there. Studies are showing that fish oil is extremely effective. Alpha-GPC is a choline supplement that is effective. MindCare by Himalaya is another product used for ADHD. All of these supplements take time to be efficacious. I could go on and on. I have been using supplements for quite awhile for various things. If you want more info, let me know.

Supplement are good if you get the right one from companies that still have integrity and are not just out there to try to just make a profit from making synthetic supplements. The underlining factor is that supplement are good for you when they come from raw plant source which still have energy from when it was harvest. The energy that it accumulated from its life cycle determines it healing factor on you. There’s many other method which work much faster then supplement to heal the body naturally that can help naturally heal the symptoms a person is having now and prevent them from ever obtaining it to begin with.

A quick update of things I have been learning. I have found out that essential fatty acids are possibly a good way to address ADD (they are proven to help brain development). I have been giving my son a product called Vitabase Focus Formula which is a multi-vitamin with essential fatty acids. The results have been great--no notes from the teacher for some time.

omega-3 and adhd
We have had wonderful success with a pharmaceutical grade omega-3 made specifically for kids ("Learn"). We've noticed less impulsivity, increased concentration, better moods, and the ability to "think before doing". Studies have shown that omega-3 is good for us in so many ways. It's a great solution alone or paired with medication.

Non-prescription adhd help
Go easy on me, it's my first post Smile

From what I have read, omega-3 seems to be the supplement with the most promise to improve symptoms of ADHD. As opposed to the flaxseed "omega-3" that roxy1234 suggested above, fish oil omega-3 has a much higher bioavailability and generally higher amounts of DHA and EPA, the components that do the most good to the brain. DHA is the #1 type of fat found in the brain, which is made up mainly of fat, while EPA can reduce inflammation and increase cerebral blood flow.

Always go for a pharmaceutical grade, purified and concentrated omega-3 supplement, don't go cheap!

Also: It's good to be here on the forums!

We found a natural alternative that has provided great relief from the hardships of ADHD.

I would like to share my personal experience with you;

I am 36 years old and less than a 5 months ago, I was diagnosed with ADD=Attention Deficiency Disorder. My whole life I had been staggering behind everyone, being laughed at, pushed around, mocked because I had a disorder that I was unaware of. I struggled through school, work and relationships believing that everyone else had found the way to live through life in the same way I was but, the only difference was that I didn�t get it. I couldn�t keep up.

Deep inside, I knew I wasn�t stupid or slow. With experience I knew the difference and that it wasn�t me. So, I continued the best that I could to go forward with this constant invisible wall that would push me back. Finally, some months ago, I was listening to CBC radio, because you cant get anything else in the bush!! And they were talking about the olympists and how some of them had this thing called ADD or ADHD. As they were talking away and explaining everything by interviewing some of the affected olympists, I found myself hearing my life�s description as I lived it year after year.

I called my wife and told her about it and we looked it up on the internet. I then found a site that explained step by step, all of the symptoms a person goes through from child hood, teenage years and finally adulthood.

That was me! On this web page, I was reading my entire life. Tears literally came down my face as I was reading through all of this because I had finally found what was going on with me and why I was having so much trouble in life.

Once I was diagnosed by a professional, I confronted this hurdle the same way I�ve always done it before, with both fists up. I wanted to know everything about this condition and how a person could help him or herself through it. I tried a medication called Stratera. It helped me tremendously mentally, but at the cost of many side effects. My heart was always racing, I couldn�t go to the bathroom right, couldn�t sleep and the effects were very un-equilibrated. One day, I was in control in full effects of the medication and the other, I felt nothing and my head was a mess again. I understood that this was due to my brain fighting against these medications. I was afraid from these and how the long term effect could damage my body, so I decided to try to go with a more natural approach. I bought supplements right left and center trying to find a combination that would give me back that feeling of calmness that Stratera did, but without success.

Finally, I found this site from this company that promoted this product that supposedly would give me what I was looking for. I tried it and was amazed at the results. They acted gentler and at a slower pace than the drugs but worked nonetheless. Since that day, I�ve received comments from members of my family and friends on how I looked so much more at peace. I can finally concentrate on one thing at a time, look at people in the eyes when talking to them without having my eyes waver, concentrate on what I am doing without my brain wondering off, fall asleep quickly and sleep through the whole night without waking up every hour. My thoughts are not racing anymore, are more organized and when ever I get hit with a stressful situation or an obstacle in my life, I don�t feel overwhelmed or drained. I feel happy and content which is something that I never truly felt until now. All of this with absolutely no side effects what so ever.

So, why am I doing this? Why am I taking time out of my life to bring you this information? I mean, there are thousands upon thousands of companies out there promoting wonder drugs and supplements that will supposedly help you cure all of our little problems, but will basically do nothing more than eat away at our wallets. I know, I�ve been there countless of times. From everything under the sun to weight loss products to health supplements that really never changed anything in my life besides make me poorer or fatter. I am doing this because I love to help people who need it. And due to my life changing experience I feel the need to let as many of you out there know about this so that you may live through a similar experience as I did. To finally be comfortable under ones skin, total calmness and contempt, to be in control of ones self and finally feel what everyone around us takes for granted everyday; a balanced neurological state of mind.

My personal experience have made me a true beleiver in this products, so much I have decided to become a distributor, for the sole purpose to help other people who have struggled like me. I have provided my personal email address below, If you are interested in getting more information or have any questions.



Take good care;
