There is another alternative, let’s take a look.
First of all most of the time the medication makes the situation even worse. We see cases where the drugs suppress the appetite and the child loses weight. So now the child is underweight which can not be healthy. In other cases it disrupts the sleep cycle, which also is not healthy either. Some kids even become more hyper and disruptive especially in school. When these situations occur parents are left wondering “now what.” “The medication is not working now what do we do.”
Not to mention the long term effects of having your child on medication for the rest of their lives. The long term damage no one really knows yet, the human experiment is still going on. I am willing to bet it won’t be good.
Then there are those situations where medication is doing just fine, then you have nothing to worry about, maybe.
In doing extensive research on this subject I have found and seen the true path to good health for adults and children and that is to alkalize the body. Most people are too acidic which leads to illness, cancer and disease. This is true for everyone. Alkalizing the body brings it back to normal working condition.
So the question is how does this effect your child with ADD/ADHD? Well your child is probably to acidic. I have seen in many cases where alkalizing the the child’s body you can either reduce the medication or stop it all together. This is also true for adult ADD/ADHD. While at the same time bringing your child back to better health without the medication.
In summary Medication is not the only option for this condition it is the only one you are being told about. I truly believe most parents would like another alternative that actually works better than the drugs or where you can actually reduce it.
