Tired Of Drugs To Treat ADHD?

 

If you are like a lot of parents, you don't want to give medicines to your kids, unless you absolutely have to. The same goes with treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Parents had no substitute but to medicate their overly active Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder children. There are side effects that can be both harmful and or irritating for the child. The can get headaches, tics, decresased appetite, sleeping problems, delayed development, and irritability (when medicine wears off). You must find the right doseage or change medicines to get the right effect.

Wouldn't you rather forego all medicines and try natural alternatives? Of course it takes more work on both the child and parents parts. Parent training, and dietary measures may help. You can try the Feingold diet. This consists of taking certain items out of your childs diet. These include, artificial colorings, flavorings, and preservatives. This may seem hard, but actually you can research some items that would be easy to take out foods with artificial coloring, such as candies, instant teas, koolaids and more.

You can also add Omega 3 supplements, as people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are lacking in Omega 3 fatty acids. Chiropractic medicine has also been used, as Chiropractors believe the skull may have become misaligned and therefor just needs minor adjustments. However, regular doctors do not believe this to be true. Recent studies have shown that CBD Hemp Oil has a potential in treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Neurofeedback is another method. People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, have less beta w aves, and more theta w aves. This causes unbalance in their brain w aves. Some doctors believe in training the brain to increase beta w aves, while slowing down the theta w aves. A machine is hooked up to the child, watching the brain w aves, a doctor then tries to train the client on what to do. There is a high cost to this one. Give some of these a try before medicating your child.
