Re: alleged “alternatives” for ADHD

[BAM123]

P S – it is pretty amazing that the responses can be so negative with out any personal experience. In the sea of alternative options, I agree there are many scams and it sucks and isn’t right and I feel the same as everyone along those lines. Taking advantage of someone who is looking for hope, symptom releif and trying to find a treatment is extremly low behavior and they should be sought ought and prosecuted.

I do not happen to feel ALCAT falls into the category of a scam or trying to take advantage,

But also in the sea of alternatives and new methods could lay the key to unlock answers. Some of those new methods will work for some and not for others.

Look at the posts on neuro feedback – the consensus is that it doesn’t work, but there are people that claim that it worked wonderfully.

Many people argue the lacebo efffect – who cares? If it worked what is the difference – aside from the costs of capital invested and emotional expectations.

So – one can say “There is no science to prove it” ( I personally don’t agree) – medcial science has only recently fully embraced the diagnosis of ADD. If you have ADD you know it – but 20 years ago a good portion of the medical community said it didn’t exist. Oh –

O K – so I thought I had ADD – but my MD says it doesn’t exist – thanks I feel so much better now.

I’m not saying the ALCAT blood test is for everyone – I’m just saying I had success with it and others I know did to . That is not anecdotal to me, that is real life. If you are looking for a nutritioinal program that MAY help with symptoms – it might be something to look in to.

..

Look at adderal – medical worls doesn’t really truly kniw why it helps with ADD – you could argue that is you gave anyone speed they would be more focus and attentive

Incidently my nutrionist has the following credentials: Bachelor of Arts in Biology, Chemistry and Education, Master’s of Science in Human Nutrition, Diploma in Classical Homeopathy (DSH) from the School of Homeopathy and is currently finishing up her doctorate (PHD)

I hardly thing this places her in the category of a scam artist. I don’t think that she went through that level of experience and education so she could hock snake oil. Incidently what are your qualifications on the subject, Walt, Larrynxa?

Additionally, toward the positive what alternative treatments have you found to be effective?
