I have a good friend whose son was diagnosed as bipolar when he was about 7

years old.

This poor kid was on so many drugs when he was about 11, it was ridiculous. He

didn't eat

much at all, and some of the side effects from the drugs he was on were awful.

He was on

Ritalin and Adderall at the same time, also Lithium and several other drugs. He

had palsy

like symptoms, insomnia and horrible behavior problems. Lo and behold, finally

somebody

figured out the poor kid had thyroid problems when he was about 18. It was

amazing the

difference in this kid once he got on thyroid meds, the physical appearance

alone was

dramatic. Needless to say, this kid, (I shouldn't call him a kid any longer,

he's 20 now)

doesn't have very good things to say about mainstream medicine.

That is so sad that it took most of his life for someone to figure it

all out. And this happens to thousands of kids.

I have a co-worker whose youg son has major problems and is on meds so

his own Mother and Grandmother can tolerate him. I have tried a few

times to inform her that there are other methods (holistic) that could

help him dramatically. Her answer: " His Dr. knows what he is like and

has him on medication " .

Thats IT! End of story. She doesn't seem to even want to try any other

route. I dont' understand how a mother would not want to try healthier

choices? His problems could be so simple to treat. Maybe his thyroid? A

lack of something?

How much did he start on and has he increased or decreased over the

years? Does he have to take any medicines any more?? What else does

he take in natural things?

My niece is bipolar.

Thanks,
