Treating ADHD Safely? A Bizarre Lack of Reliable Information
Posted by sleepyguy in Prescription Sleep Medicine on October 29th, 2010
Most parents are worried that the ADHD meds are going to affect their child negatively and have long term risks for their health and ask ‘how can I treat ADHD’. Basically, they are right to be alarmed. Treating ADHD safely has become a controversial issue and parents are right to question everything. While it is true that certain ADHD symptoms, such as hyperactivity, inattention and lack of focus, can be relieved with amphetamine type drugs in up to 80% of children, there are still doubts about the long term efficacy of these medications. In all, a bizarre lack of accurate information about the clinical trials of these drugs in the long term. Yet the majority of the 2.5 million children being treated for ADHD are on these drugs!
Just look at the short term effects that can ruin a child’s life. A child in the UK was recently prescribed a slow acting methylphenidate drug and while her schoolwork improved, she lost 5% of body weight and was weepy and emotional and could not sleep. All these are fairly typical of the ADHD medication side effects and you begin to wonder what on earth is the point. There must be a less hazardous and less dramatic way of treating ADHD safely.
Many parents are completely unaware of the fact that ADHD homeopathic remedies can and do have beneficial effects on ADHD symptoms without any of the drama of the above story which is typical of quite a number of children to-day. They are unaware of dietary changes, behavior modification and other complementary treatments which can be used in treating ADHD safely.
Parents sometimes are surprised to learn that the ADHD symptoms such as restlessness, impulsivity, tic disorders and temper tantrums can all be calmed and alleviated with the use of homeopathic medicine. There are no side effects and no FDA black box warnings. Children soon become less distracted and begin to focus at school. There are no long term health risks at all and no need to have a heart check up. The risk of depression or anxiety which are the effects of the ADHD conventional medications are non-existent with this type of medicine. Treating ADHD safely is within every parent’s grasp and is a lot more economical than the conventional ADHD medications.
