JP>Ritilin is not addictive, allows children to integrate better into
JP>social situations and control their aggressive behavior.
By making zombies out of them?  That is not integration into social
situations as far as I am concerned.  The same effect can also be
obtained by tying the kid up and gagging him or her.
  Perhaps it
JP>is a shot in the dark but until we learn more about the cause of
JP>AD(H)D and find better drugs, are you really willing just to hang
JP>these kids out to dry.
You are scared stiff to think that the drugs are not necessary for all
kids with ADHD or ADD!  If there is any history of genetic alcoholism in
your family, do yourself one big favor and get in touch with the man who
did the original research on this with Kenneth Blume in Texas, Dr. Terry
Neher.  He can be found at Neurohealth Resources, 25717-118th Place
S.E., Kent WA 98031, phone (206) 204-7967 or 1-800-849-9475.
One warning, the stuff will not work if you allow the kids to eat as
much sugar as they want.  I have one grand daughter who is tended to be
hyperactive, cannot persuade her mother to stop feeding the family pie,
cake, cookies, candy, and soda pop.
  I have a son with bad ADHD and one with
JP>mild Tourettes/ADD.  I am also ADD/ with mild tourettes.  I wish I
JP>had had the drugs available to my kids when I was young.  My
JP>education would have been much smoother and I would be in a
JP>different place today.
It is not too late IF THERE IS A HISTORY of genetic alcoholism in your
family for you.  I know of some adults who are using this mixture also
and they say it does a lot for them.
 JP>Perhaps we don't know everything about ritilin and there may be
 JP>people who should never take it, tourettes/add it causes increased
 JP>tics.  I also agree that some psychotic JP>disorders are extremely
 sensitive to prozac, my sister-in-law went JP>off in a super manic tiff
 that put her in the hospital for a week. JP>They finally found she was
 bi-polar.
A bipolar individual also has the genetic codes for alcoholism, which
means that if this is a blood relative, it runs in your family.
What do you have to loose by getting in touch with Dr. Neher?  Fear?
Be advised that a mother of a child with Down's syndrome was recently
interviewed on TV because she has developed a food supplement formula
for that problem.
Kids born with Down's syndrome do not get the nutrition they need to
have their brain cells grow. THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE MENTAL RETARDATION
AS THE NERVE CELLS ARE NORMAL AT BIRTH!
I would love to be able to shake my daughter hard and any other parent
who will not take the time to find out what can really be done by
remedial diets!  Ask anyone who knows why a PKU test is done on every
child born in a hospital and how many turn up positive.  Only those who
do get a special diet to prevent mental retardation.
What else do we have to do to convince parents that feeding kids for
their specific problem is useful?
