Yes.....there is a natural remedie for your condition. It's called TRANSFER FACTOR PLUS and TRANSFER FACTOR RECALL. My Son was a diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6, he is now 12. His been on many different meds and nothing seem to really do well with him. I've been searching and also tried many natural remedies through this time and finally find one that truly works. This has really been a dream come true. NO MORE MEDS..... My son now eats normal and sleeps with no problem. Anyone interested in this product...please email me at NALVAR7@aol.com
St. Johns Wort is undergoing clicical trials for ADHD. I've had some success with that and Fish oil for anxiety.Hi,
We have a 7 year old son who is displaying symptons of ADHD and is in the process of being assesed. I am very interested in finding out aboutTRANSFER FACTOR PLUS and TRANSFER FACTOR RECALL, since we are worried about giving him any meds. Please share any information or advice.
Michele - I'm 38 but think my experience may help. I was on 15mg Adderall XR for 8 days. My blood pressure went from 100/60 to 125/80 which is still safe. However, the clarity I had with Adderall was wearing off earlier and earlier each day. And, instead of going higher in dosage or switching drugs, I committed to trying natural supplements.
I take DMAE, Ginkgo Biloba, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Omega-3 DHA (fish oil), Inositol, Huperzine and a multivitamin.
I need to get on an E supplement as well. I also take OPC when I remember.
And, I quit coffee. I still get one coke a day so caffeine is almost out of my system. It's been a week on natural and every day is getting more and more clear. The first couple days off Adderall and caffeine at the same time made it difficult for me to maintain a cohesive thought. If anything, quitting caffeine was harder on my system than stopping Adderall. I had severe headaches one day and the next day I had severe upper leg aches. The aches are gone.
I was completely hooked on caffiene. It got to a point years ago where it was no longer giving me clarity and energy but became a must to have just so I wouldn't have a headache.
I've got a ways to go before I'm as focused as when the Adderall was ideal for me. But on the natural supplements, I'm more focused than when I was on nothing but coffee.
Had Adderall worked for me throughout the day and into the night, I may have stuck to it. I'm glad I did give Adderall a try because now I know what's possible in terms of focus and clarity. Had I not seen what was possible, it would have been virtually impossible to stay on the natural supplements long enough for it to take affect. I went into it knowing that if natural didn't work, I'd give Straterra a go. But, so far, so good. In fact, very good. I've journaled my entire experience from the first day of taking Adderall, getting off it and switching to natural supplements... and I'm encouraged by the progress so far since where I am now is so much farther ahead than where I was just a few days ago.
I hope this helps. Karen.
kiwi38419.3507175926Hi, after years and years of getting nowhere with drugs for our son's so-called "ADHD," we gave up on shrinks and drugs. It was the best thing we ever did. Shrinks have absolutely NO physical proof of any of their diagnoses so they don't really know what they're doing. In contrast, there are many biochemists who DO know what causes ADHD: biochemical imbalances, not "chemical" imbalances. "Bio" just means "natural." ADHD is often the result of natural chemicals, such as B3, B6, zinc, etc being deficient in the brain. The term "ADHD" is just a catch-all diagnosis engineered to sell drugs. In reality, millions of American children have pyroluria, acrodynia, sub-clinical pellagra, etc. These are all BIO-chemical problems and easily treated with the right nutrients in large amounts. You can read about them in detail in my book but I don't think I'm allowed to tell you the name of my book here. Anyway, it's published by AcornPublishing.com and the author is Linda Santini. Biochemists have known the real causes and real cures for "ADHD" for decades but drug companies don't want you to know about them because drugs and useless talk therapy are not needed.Hi,
We just switched to an all natural vitamin/mineral supplement end of Nov. It is a miracle for our son. I researched a lot of supplements and if you can get testing done for vitamin and mineral deficencys that is the best place to start. There are studies that show ADHD kids have deficiencies that bring on all these symptoms of ADHD and Anxiety. Some supplements out there have 100 ingrediants in them and for someone like my son who is the side affect king of ADHD drugs starting out a natural supplent that carried every homeopathic ingrediant around in it was not even a consideration. There are basic deficiencys found in the systems of these kids and adults such a magnesium and zinc among others. We started my son on a half dose to play it safe for a month and he had improvement on that. He then went to a full dose. He is a new person full of happiness and life.We did not do the vitamin testing due to lack of funds $$, but after talking to people who did and seeing what they gave there kids and how it helped, I was very comfortable trying the product we got because I knew what was in it and it matched what others had been perscribed by qualified doctors who deal with deficenys. If you can get testing done I'd do it. I posted my son's story (Jakes Story) on my website of www.magneticjewelryusa.com/adhdhelp.htm and it has nothing to do with my magnetic jewelry site, I made a seperate page called ADHD HELP because I feel so bad for putting my son through all the hell the pharmacuicals drugs did to him, maybe I can save someone else from going through it.
