ADHD Natural Treatment - Alternatives For Raising a Much Calmer, Happier Child
There are so many drawbacks to using just conventional pharmacological preparations for ADHD
, that I do not know where to begin! Let me just paint you a few scenarios so that you get the picture and then you can decide if this is really the right treatment for your child. You can then decide to opt for ADHD natural treatment as that is much safer and much less hassle all round.1st Scenario:- Your ADHD child is not hungry and is losing his appetite. He is on one of the psychostimulants such as Concerta or Adderall XR. This latter one is a new drug but its website states that up to 36% of patients may experience a loss of appetite. A whopping 30% also experience problems in sleeping. It should be clear that your child has little chance of doing well at school on an empty stomach and having had little sleep!
2nd Scenario:- You have been giving your child Ritalin(made from methylphenidate, a type of amphetamine) for his ADHD for two years now. Some of his symptoms have improved but not others. You are disturbed to read a report from the University of Buffalo, led by an ADHD expert called Dr William Pelham. The research says that after about three years, the effects of this drug will begin to wear off. Does this mean that there will be no long term benefit at all? The same report says that behaviour modification is the only thing that works but you cannot be bothered with that. But a nagging doubt at the back of your mind suggests that you should perhaps look at ADHD natural treatment after all.
Then you read that there are no long term studies at all on Ritalin. Just one study on 100 children showed that 6% became psychotic after years on that type of medication. Nobody seems to know what the long term implications on mental health are. It is no surprise to learn that you, the parent, are now taking sleeping pills! Maybe it is time to consider natural treatment ADHD after all. It must be safer than this and it must be more effective.
So, here are a few alternatives to raising a calmer, happier child. The first way is to seriously consider child behavior modification or just call it effective parenting skills or whatever you want. The point is that this is the only long lasting effective way to help your ADHD child to cope with learning, living and socializing. No pills will ever do that.
The second way is to consider a homeopathic remedy to keep your hyperactive child calm, focused and with a much brighter outlook on life. There are no side effects so he will start eating again, and how!
So, there you have it. Why not consider ADHD natural treatment for your child given that the psychostimulants seem to cause more problems than they solve. Check out my website.
