homeopathy for adhd

Children in Britain aged 5 – 9 attended a party. They were split into two groups: Group One: was fed healthy options such as apple slices, carrot sticks, sandwiches, hummus, etc. and was given water to drink.Group Two: received the usual party fair: candy, potato chips, and soda, all containing loads of sugar, artificial coloring, and other additives. The children’s ability to follow instruction, concentrate, and remember information was then measured as they played party games, and their actions were carefully recorded. You may be surprised by what they found...

Homeopathy can be particularly effective for children with ADHD. This article by Sydney homeopath Linlee Jordan who, as far as I know invented or at least popularised the term "challenging children" for those afflicted, describes a typical case history and the gratifying response to the indicated remedy. See our Perth clinic pages: www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp and

"Recently, a founding father of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder),  announced a few months before his death that ... "ADHD is a prime example of  a fictitious disease."  After turning 87 years old, American  psychiatrist Dr. Leon Eisenberg made this statement to the German weekly Der  Spiegel on 2 February 2012. Seven months later, he died. Apparently, he had  decided to come clean and confess before moving to the beyond..."

A nice case of ADHD by Dr Wequar Ali Khan, in which Stramonium was the indicated remedy. The result was profound as we often see in these cases. Of course this does not mean that this is the remedy for ADHD. Many remedies can be indicated, and the child's constitutional medicine needs to be assessed by the homeopath. It is a common problem treated at our Perth clinic. See our page: www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp

This excellent article on ADHD discusses signs and symptoms, causes, risk factors, and both orthodox and alternative treatment options. The complementary measures include dietary changes, the use of vitamins, minerals, herbs and fatty acids, biofeedback... and homeopathy. In our Perth clinic we focus on dietary naturopathic options together with homeopathic treatmnent, as described on our page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp 

Perth has one of the highest rates of ADHD diagnosis and treatment in the world. Our experience is that some parents report a link between food colouring and behavioural changes in their child. These should be eliminated, but homeopathic treatment and naturopathic dietary changes are effective: http://www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp 

Homeopathy provides consistent benefit for our patients with ADHD at this Perth naturopathic clinic. There are now several studies that show positive effects of homeopathy on this condition. This article discusses these and criticises the methodology of trials that don't reveal improvement. As we know, homeopathy doesn't fit the mould of studies that are designed to test drugs, as all treatment is individual. Here is our page: http://www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp

The results of this research are not surprising. Moderate sleep restriction has a negative neurobehavioural impact on both "normal" controls and children with ADHD. It becomes clinically significant in ADHD children. This is obviously one part of the puzzle. Take a normal child, add poor sleep, a bad diet and deficiencies, sugar, chemicals and other toxins. Voila, ADHD! See the homeopathic and naturopathic approach outlined on our pages:

Soft drinks are a toxic mix of sugar, high fructose corn syrup and a combination of colours, flavours and petrochemicals. Recent studies have established a clear link with the aggression and attention problems of ADD and ADHD. At our Perth clinic we are mindful of the dietary connection and also find that homeopathy is very effective, as outlined on our pages: www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp and

We know that ADHD is often a diagnosis with a number of causes and contributing factors. Many children are given a diagnosis of A.D.H.D researchers say, when in fact they have another problem: a sleep disorder, like sleep apnoea. The confusion may account for a significant number of A.D.H.D. cases in children, and the drugs used to treat them may only be exacerbating the problem. It is a common problem treated at our Perth clinic: www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp

This study found that in a rodent model second-generation deficiencies of omega-3 fatty acids caused elevated states of anxiety and hyperactivity in adolescents and affected the teens' memory and cognition. This shows that their behavioural health is compromised not only by their own poor diet but that of their parents. The parents of today's teens grew up at a time when beef changed from being grass to grain fed and omega-3 deficient oils became prevalent. This could partly explain the increase in ADHD in today's children. See our Perth clinic page www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp

Here is another excellent infographic from "A Health Blog". It divides ADHD into Type One (also known as ADD) and Type Two, and looks at both the positive and the negative, the myths and the facts. This page covers the homeopathic approach at our Perth naturopathic clinic: http://www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp 

At our Perth naturopathic clinic we see children who have been diagnosed with ADHD and ADD virtually every day. They are treated individually with homeopathic medicine and usually respond wonderfully. See our page:

http://www.cottnat.com.au/add-treatment.asp Some dietary strategies and supplements may alsp prove useful. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that boosts brain function and mental concentration

At this Perth naturopathic clinic we see children with ADD and ADHD almost daily. Homeopathic treatment is individual, based on the whole symptom picture, not just the diagnosis. See our page:
