We put my son on "Grape Seed Extract" liquid drops for the same thing when he was 3 1/2. It worked great and helped him attend while in class and in ABA therapy. We put a dropper full in a cup of orange juice in the morning and when he came home from school. As he grew we could no longer administer the same amounts and his body became used to it. Check with the nutritionist at the health food store. We got it at Nutrition S'Mart in Pembroke Pines. The pill form is also called Pygnogenol (not sure of the spelling). Check it out.

My 5 1/2 year old son takes several supplements and is on the GF diet. He also is receiving sensory integration therapy and we try to provide with with lots of opportunities to get the input he needs at home (trampoline, cushions, deep pressure, music, etc...) Nevertheless, his ADHD symptoms are quite strong. His teacher says he has a lot of potential to learn but his sensory issues get in the way (he has difficulty staying seated, staying quiet (verbal stimming), paying attention, staying on task and gets very easily distracted.) Any suggestions on alternatives to ADHD medication? Thanks, Ida

Hi,

I just heard of the Respen-A patch that is homeopathic. I just ordered it and will see if it works for us. Google Respen-A and you can see the studies and the videos. Good luck.AlwaysAna Brushingham

Diet is also an important factor with ADHD, there have been proven studies in England that food coloring causes ADHD symptoms to worsen. So look at foods and drinks being consumed also. there are calming supplements out there, there is one by "Buried Treasure" I don’t remember the exact name but its ADDed attention or ADDed calm or something - its brain nutrients. GABA is sometimes used for calming as is amino acid L Theanine. Valerian can be given safely in small doses for kids but usually if you go to a health foods store you will see in the kids vitamins section all kinds of calming vitamins. And of course if you can afford it, seeing a naturopath would be the way to go. Good luck.

One of the problems with ADHD, is a brain chemistry problem. Dopamine release is

usually erratic. When the symptoms are more severe, it usually means the

dopamine issue is compounded with a Serotonin production issue. This is why

drugs work so well with ADHD, acting directly on brain chemistry.

The good news is that helping the brain regulate its dopamine can be done via

the sense of smell, which is rarely so defective that it cannot be used. The

protocol consists in presenting a smell that he likes. It doesn't matter what it

is, so long as he likes it. It can be freshly baked cookies, a flower, lemon

peels, an essential oil, anything.

Studies point to long slow inhalations being more effective than short strong

ones. Getting the boy to do it is going to be a challenge at first, only until

you are able to make it a warm and fuzzy experience and an effective one. Three

long slow smells is all it takes.

The effect of regulated brain dopamine lasts one to three hours, and you get the

added benefit of good oxygen intake through deep breathing. Studies also

indicate that this repeated protocol prompts brain growth and neural repair, but

that's another story.

Hope this helps.

Would love to know how it works for you. My son is 13 with high-functioning

Hi Robin,

We did try the grape seed extract for a month or so but unfortunately, it did

not make any difference for my son. We also tried Ginko Biloba which I saw help

my friend's son A LOT and it had no effect on my son. I guess it is just our

luck *sight*

> How exactly does the grape seed extract work ? Is it a calming effect or a

homeopathic replacement for meds like ritalin family ? Just to share I have

epilepsy that at times goes status in gran mals - not good. I've been using a

product called ' Epi Still ' and the effect is incredible. Like many nowadays I

don't respond well to much..and have a hard time keeping a blood count that's

within range *20 to 40* - after using Epi Still for just one week along with a

change to strictly vegetarian diet and the results are so noticeable. I'm

Sicilian and have looked pale for years even while I was in Hawai'i . I've

been in North. Calif. for only 3.5 weeks and have had a dramatic decrease in

peti's to he point of not even noticing myself when it does happen and the

status has been minor in only having 2-3 max back to back and only twice in the

All of it is inexpensive.. and the benefit of not taking medication that will

is receiving sensory integration therapy and we try to provide with with lots of

opportunities to get the input he needs at home (trampoline, cushions, deep

pressure, music, etc...) Nevertheless, his ADHD symptoms are quite strong. His

teacher says he has a lot of potential to learn but his sensory issues get in

the way (he has difficulty staying seated, staying quiet (verbal stimming),

paying attention, staying on task and gets very easily distracted.) Any

suggestions on alternatives to ADHD medication? Thanks, Ida
