The Film, “Is Your Child’s Brain Starving?”
Lecture on how diet can contribute to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) by Dr. Michael R. Lyon, MD. Shot at Mount Royal College, Calgary, Alberta. Dr. Lyon - “As the director of a medical & research centre, I have explored a variety of potential treatments to improve brain function in children and adults, without the use of drugs like Ritalin. Although I believe there is promise in certain herbal medicines and in non-drug treatments such as biofeedback, I have seen the most profound improvements in learning and behaviour through an intelligently applied nutritional program.” Notes from cameraman (Gordon McDowell):
Dr. Lyon later emailed me a copy of his Power Point presentation , which I’ve incorporated into the video.

ADHD natural remedy - Herbal remedy for ADHD - ADHD natural treatment
Over the years many attempts have been made to find natural therapies for ADHD in order to avoid the use of stimulants such as Ritalin. Very little research has been done in this area since the medical profession has focused their attention almost exclusively on the use of stimulant drugs. It does seem probable that some nutrients or herbal remedies could eventually be found to be helpful. Some herbal remedies used in ADHD include ginkgo biloba and St. John’s wort. Here’s a research abstract on ADHD herbal remedy.

Effect of the herbal extract combination Panax quinquefolium and Ginkgo biloba on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: a pilot study.
J Psychiatry Neurosci. 2001 May;26(3):221-8. Oceanside Functional Medicine Research Institute, Nanaimo, BC.

A combination herbal product containing American ginseng extract, Panax quinquefolium, (200 mg) and Ginkgo biloba extract (50 mg) (AD-FX; CV Technologies, Edmonton, Alta.) was tested for its ability to improve the symptoms of ADHD. AD-FX capsules were taken twice a day on an empty stomach for 4 weeks. Patients were instructed not to change any other medications during the study. After 2 weeks of the ADHD herbal remedy treatment, the proportion of the subjects exhibiting improvement ranged from 31% for the anxious-shy attribute to 67% for the psychosomatic attribute. After 4 weeks of treatment, the proportion of subjects exhibiting improvement ranged from 44% for the social problems attribute to 74% for the Conners’ ADHD index and the DSM-IV hyperactive-impulsive attribute. Five (14%) of 36 subjects reported adverse events, only 2 of which were considered related to the study medication. These preliminary results suggest AD-FX treatment may improve symptoms of ADHD and should encourage further research on the use of ginseng and Ginkgo biloba extracts to treat ADHD symptoms.

Comments: It may be preferable at first to just try one herb for a few weeks before adding another one. The combination of herbal remedy with pharmaceutical medication may be unpredictable. We suggest using the herbal remedy by itself, not in combination with ADHD drugs.

Has anyone ever tried anything holistic for ADHD? If so, which products work best?
Yeah, well I'm not planning on giving my 4 year old weed.
I should also note that I am not open to discussing stimulants or other meds, just natural suggestions thank you.

Adderall works! I guess that's not a 'natural remedy' though. I'd rather take a prescription than suffer through life with ADHD though…

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common childhood behavior problems in the United States. Roughly one child in every classroom is diagnosed with this disorder and controversies exist about its over- as well as under-diagnosis and its proper management. As a result, front-line professionals working with children, such as pediatricians and school personnel, need access to evidence-based information about the diagnosis and treatment of this highly prevalent condition. “ADHD: Managing the Social, Medical and Emotional Impact” will provide up-to-date information about the diagnosis and long-term course of ADHD as well as evidence-based treatment strategies. The report will include an emphasis on the practicalities of ADHD management in today’s busy pediatric practice.

On Thursday, September 4, at 8:00AM EDT, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC will present a Pediatric Grand Rounds lecture titled “ADHD: Managing the Social, Medical and Emotional Impact.” The presenters are William I. Cohen, MD, a developmental-behavioral pediatrician and director of the Down Syndrome Center at Children’s Hospital, and Brooke Molina, PhD, director of the Youth and Family Research Program at UPMC’s Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic.
