Natural remedy to cure ADHD?
13 Oct 2009
My son is using Alderal 25mg XR to cure ADHD. I need to find the natural way to cure ADHD. Is there any one has experience about natural cure for ADHD ? Please help !
Thanks
Give your son fish oil. Read this Daily Mail article entitled:
Fish oil ‘calms children better than Ritalin’:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-391503/Fish-oil-calms-children-better-Ritalin.html
…….and read about the Durham study involving children:
"66% of the children at the beginning of the trial had ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ concentration. After taking an Omega 3 fish oil supplement for 5 months, 79% of children had ‘good’ or ‘very good’ levels of concentration. All the children who were rated as ‘poor’ concentrators at the beginning had improved to ‘moderate’ or ‘good’." ……………….quoted verbatim from the Durham County Council website:

You could also give him a little chamomile or lemon balm tea if he will drink it.
Plus check all labels and don’t give your son anything containing aspartame, monosodium glutamate, E number colourings/additives, and other "flavour enhancers" as they are sometimes labeled on packaging [which is always suspiciously vague]. Too much sugar might also impact on behaviour.
A childrens chewable magnesium/calcium tablet might help also…..as a source of magnesium thaty helps the nervous system. Magnesium is best taken in combination with calcium so is often sold as a combined formula. Another supplement safe for children from 5-7 years and older [NOT younger children]……. that is good for the nervous system is Brewers Yeast, as a source of B vitamins….if the child is not allergic to yeast. But do NOT give Yeastvite as that has caffeine as an added ingredient so is not suitable for children.
Hope that helps.
