[QUOTE="Faithful-Heart, post: 3032, member: 484"] Natural treatment is a great way to go...but please be aware that even natural...herbs, ect could affect your son's heart...so do this with guidance from a homeopath dr. Some take insurance and many don't so it can get expensive. There are some new methods out there for helping with ADHD...like biofeedback that don't involve taking anything. The biofeed back teaches the child to learn to control their brain waves...sounds werid I know...I guess I shouldn't say its new though...been around for a long time now. Also diet changes can help...getting rid of any foods that could be making the problem worse. I was reading in a book at the bookstore the other day (couldn't afford to get the book) about how kids don't aborb sugar like adults do and there recation to sugar can cause problems such as hyperactivity. Also caffine can hype a kid up or slow them down... Avoiding dyes, especially red dye 40, which with my son can cause hyperness, aggressive behavior and well him just getting plain nasty if he gets too much. Red dye 40 is in everything too! Makes me so mad. Look around at the foods, drinks, vitamines, over the counter medications, ect that your son eats/drinks and see how many have red dye 40 in them. The dyes are usually listed toward the bottom of the ingretance. when I did this I was totally shocked...even my son's juice which I thought was good for him had it in there. I slowly got rid of everything with red dye 40 and replaced those foods, drinks, vitamines, ect with things that did not have red dye 40 in them. Though they keep ADDING this horrible dye to more and more foods. Anything red, purple, pink and sometimes even orange will have red dye 40 in it. I have even found it in baby fourmula and grape juice of all things. I have read many stories of kids who with diet changes calmed right down...though changing their diets isn't the easiest thing to do its better then dealing with the behavior all the time too. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
