ADHD can be helped NATURALLY!

[Babernethy]

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!

Interesting posting...granola? You ought to check what a'stimulant' actually relates to. A stimulant is a narcotic. Additionally there is proof in the non-medicinal 'cure' as hundreds of people have been able to control most or all of thier symptoms by getting away from the 'junk' that is in unnatural processed food. I know of at least 20 people who have gone this route and ALL have had major success with thier ADD. Additionally it has been written up in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The 'feingold' diet theory was debunked 30 years ago! ADHD is a neurological disorder, NOT a food allergy!

Call your pharmacist, or look up narcotic. Narcotics are drugs derived from opium,such as morphene, codeine, and paragoric, NOT stimulants.


NARCOTIC DRUGS
General Monograph, CPhA
Anileridine
Butorphanol
Codeine
Diamorphine
Fentanyl
Hydrocodone
Hydromorphone
Levorphanol
Morphine
Nalbuphine
Oxycodone
Oxymorphone
Pentazocine
Pethidine (meperidine)
Propoxyphene

Funny...no stimulants are on that list...

Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The narcotic analgesics act primarily on the CNS. The perception of and emotional response to pain is modified when the narcotic analgesics bind with stereospecific receptors in the CNS. Five major groups of opioid receptors are known: mu,kappa, sigma, delta and epsilon. Narcotic analgesic activity occurs at the mu, kappa and sigma receptors. Opioid agonists such as morphine and others exert their activity mainly at the mu receptor. Mixed agonist-antagonists such as butorphanol, nalbuphine and pentazocine act primarily at the kappa receptors (thought to mediate analgesic effects) and sigma receptors (may produce subjective and psychotomimetic effects).

How do you like your crow cooked? Naturally, I assume.

I and all who are on natural diets feel great...I don't even know who Feingold is (hey I'm ignorant) nor do I understand half of what you wrote in your last posting. The fact IS I AM 100% better. I was diagnosed after years of testing. I live a normal life(except for 183 different allergies), have a wife and 2 kids, and am feeling great. I have been off the the prescription drugs for over 10 years, by the way, with not 1 major relapse. The onlt times I get 'weird' is if I accidently induce some 'unnatural food'.
Since you seem to be such an expert on NARCOTICS, answer me why ALL the students in my High School get HIGH when taking Ritalin?
Additionally check out the article in Natural Life Magazine (November 2,000) regarding the lawsuit against the manufacturers of Ritalin...which is indeed being called a NARCOTIC, because it shows all the deleterious effects of other narcotics...temporary elation and dependancy.
By the way, I rarely eat granola...too much coconut for me.
Do you work for the company that makes this drug?
