   My brother is ADHD, and when he was little my grandmother suggested putting him on a low dairy, low sugar, organic diet. It kind of worked a little bit. The herb Ginkgo Biloba helps you focus, which is one of the symptoms of ADHD. My mom just simply reduced his dairy intake, hardly let him have any sugar at all, and made him eat only organic foods. Coming up with games that require thinking and concentrating could help too. Not everything requires medicine, it all depends on the severity of it.

   Try to find a local chiropractor who works with kids that have add/adhd. Everything in the body is controlled by the nervous system and the brain. Chiro treatments allow the nervous system and brain to work at their full potential and help the body heal itself from the inside out.

   I have an 8 yr old who has the poor impluse control type of ADHD. When he was a preschooler we tried several different all natural things. For some children going on a wheat free and low dairy diet helps to control ADHD others respond well to a low sugar diet other respond to a chemical free diet(no additives or preservatives) I have noticed that with the children with ADD and ADHD that I have worked with that caffine seems to calm them down so I allowed my son to drink tea or coffee and withen an hour he would be sound asleep. Most medications that would make a normal person sleepy makes these kids more hyper and stimulants calm them down. My son is now on a medication for his ADHD because his ADHD was effecting his ability to learn at school and he told his doctor he hated feeling like he had to move constantly to concentrate and getting in trouble for it. I recommend giving the meds a trial run for a few months if diet modifications do not work and talk to your child about how they feel while on it and off it.

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

   You really open to doing it naturally?

   Put them on a diet of no sugar/no yeast/no artificial sweetners. It will be gone in 3 wks. Seen it happen. With several kids. ADHD is caused by overconsumption of processed foods and dyes. Eat fresh fruits and veggies…..lean meats, nuts, eggs.

   Here's a resource for you….that supports natural options and teaches you also what the alternative does.
