JANE KELLEY was thinking about Add And Adhd and keyed into cyberspace:
JK>DS>I work for a psychotherapist here and some of the clients I have
JK>DS>off the record mentioned pycnogenol to try.  The majority have had
JK>DS>startling results One little boy who is mother refused to let him
JK>DS>take any drugs and he was just unteachable..couldn't read, write,
JK>DS>behavior problems.  Now he's at abou the 3rd grade level and doing
JK>DS>pretty well considering. 
JK>Some children from families with genetic alcoholism are doing well on
JK>a vitamin/amino acid compound.  They do not do well on Ritalin.
JK>DS>Research is great but sometimes you have to see how it works with
JK>DS>just plain folks.  If I had a kid with it, I sure would try it.
JK>DS>At least that's my opinion.
JK>I believe in trying every alternative to the drugs for behavior
JK>problems in children.  My daughter adopted two children, boy and
JK>girl.  The girl had a seizure disorder and behavior problems, didn't
JK>socialize well at all until she was fed gummy bears that are made
JK>from ingredients made from vegetables such as broccoli.  That child
JK>is now doing very well at school and much better at home.  The label
JK>just mentions the many vegetables, not what the concentrated results
JK>are. 
JK>She has to send for them, heard about them from a friend who now
JK>lives in PA and is a special ed teacher with a special child of her
JK>own. 
JK>That child won't be on Ritalin.
Right. because methylphenidate treats ADHD, not Gummy-Bear Deficiency 
Syndrome.
I just hope your grandchild does not grow up thinking it is fun to play 
with her medicine.
