I am a 39 year old sufferer of Attention Deficit Disorder. I was only diagnosed 10 years ago...it explained many of the problems I had in school. I am no doctor but I do know this: The doctor put me on 'Downers' (.25 to .50 dose valium) when I was 14 ...all that did was to get me depressed. A pile of different types of drugs to numerous to mention after that.
I have seen several students on Ritalin (at the high school I work in) and yes they calm down after they get high from it (it is a narcotic and there is a lawsuit against the company who manufactures it).
I witnessed my cousins child 5 years ago going berserk. He was in Grade 1, was in trouble all the time, and had not done well in school. I was at a family gathering during the summer and he had been fine just an hour befor. He was kicking and biting at his mother like a wild dog. My cousin and his mother told me that he 'gets like this sometimes'. I asked if they paid any attention to what he was eating (I eat only natural foods), and for lunch the boy had eaten a bag of Cheesies (artificial colour and flavour) and a large glass (or 2) of Coke.
I told them that if they monitored what he ate and gave him only natural foods they would notice a difference in just a week. As they were at the end of thier ropes, they decided to try. The next time I saw them, the mother through her arms around me and thanked me. The child was a changed boy...mannerism, attention, violent behaviour all were normal.
He passed grade 2 with A's and B's and has NEVER had a relapse.
Just as in my house, no artificial products are ever consumed and organic products are used as often as possible. It takes a little extra time at the grocery store but the results are worthwhile!
