This message is to Regina Finan, but I couldn't pull up any direct message
from you, Regina. Only quotes in Charity's messages. I'm an eavesdropper on
this echo.
You say your ADD son will go on meds this summer, and I just wanted to
input some information for you to consider. If the med is Ritalin, a better
alternative may be phenytoin (PHT). For more information see my article on
this in "Homeschooling Today" May/June 1994. This is much safer and
probably cheaper because the patent has run out. Ritalin is pushed upon
the doctors by the drug companies, and nobody is telling them about PHT.
Many mainstream doctors don't take kindly to suggestions that are not
mainstream. But if you are concerned about Ritalin, you may wish to look
into this alternative.
