• Jun. 21, 2008 - To medicate or not medicate
This has been a questions on a few of the "groups" that I belong to. My son was diagnosed with ADHD w/ impulsivity, when he was 18 months old. Had I known back then, what I know now. I would have NEVER given him medication. This is just for me and may not be for every one. I struggled with it, everyday. Do I medicate him or become insane!!! I have researched this in its entirety and have implemented all that I researched. My Son is 13, off all meds and very healthy and happy. NO Mood swings,, temper tantrums or staying up all night because he can not sleep. The secret is in the diet. If you would like more info on this I will send it to you personally. Just e-mail me. I am in the process of getting a degree to become a nutritionist. I know that people like to see the "degree" so they know you know what you are talking about. |

I would love to know more re: the diet...We currently stay away from empty carbs and push Salmon Omega 3 rich foods - Thank God he loves Salmon - We suppliment fish oil as a regular "vitamin". There is so much info out there - We see a direct difference when he adhears to it himself...
Let's talk!
