Description: NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR A.D.D. ARE A REALITY! Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) crosses every socio-economic class in America. Everyone knows someone who has it, has had it, or is being tested for it. Since no one knows exactly what the dysfunction is, where it comes from, or how to cure it, it seems reasonable to explore all types of treatment. Drug treatments are well known. A.D.D. The Natural Approach tells us about the pitfalls of using drug treatments on people with attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Are we creating a society of drug dependent children? The authors, Nina Anderson and Howard Peiper suggest alternatives. A.D.D. The Natural Approach gives the reader a choice. Masking the problem with drugs may serve to create drug dependence. David Winston, Herbalist says, Most often our society is the cause of ADD and ADHD. We feed our children nutritionless pseudo-foods, artificial colors, preservatives and allergenic foods, sit them in front of constant stimulating images of TV and video games and then expect them to sit quietly throughout the school day. We may have created this disease in ourselves and by following the author s suggestions, we may not only lessen the symptoms, but eliminate the problem completely. This book is for the skeptic as well as the believer in natural healing. It makes sense and the information within its covers could change your life and the life of your child. Gillian Martlew, N.D. comments, I am pleased that this simple, down to earth and honest book is available to the public and can be used as a holistic reference for A.D.D. and Hyperactivity, and most especially, that it explains natural solutions that work. Parents, teachers, health professionals and the children will appreciate your contribution. Welcome to the 21st century, says Esteban A. Genao, M.D., F.A.A.P. Pediatrician

    Description: May,2000 treatment follow-up study shows that 92% of families rate treatment as Successful or Very Successful. See "Publisher's Comments" section below for more details.

    Most books on adhd rehash the same worn out theories and treatments. Instead, ADHD: A Path to Success offers a new perspective on ADHD that makes sense with your own personal experience. - it is not a deficit, defect or neurological disorder.

    - it is a highly refined, short-term coping skill that backfires.

    - takes it out of the realm of medical mystery and psychobabble.

    - describes a new, no drug, no diet, no nonsense, patented treatment technology.

    You can only help your child when you understand their experience through their eyes. The engaging story of Dr. Weathers personal struggle and conquest of attention deficit disorder is chronicled. He explains your child's experience of attention deficit disorder as they live it, rather than how adults think about it. Once you understand attention deficit disorder from your child's point of view, you have taken an essential step to helping him solve his problem. Instead of just seeing attention deficit disorder as a problem you will learn how it "works" for your child. It makes his life easier on the moment to moment basis, even though it causes problems in the long run. With this new perspective you can look at your child's behavior in a more positive light and react in a more helpful manner. It is easy reading designed for parents as well as professionals. Many case studies and concrete examples of effective strategies are provided.

    Description:
    Millions of children take Ritalin for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The drug's manufacturer, Novartis, claims that Ritalin is the "solution" to this widespread problem. But hidden behind the well-oiled public-relations machine is a potentially devastating reality: children are being given a drug that can cause the same bad effects as amphetamine and cocaine, including behavioral disorders, growth suppression, neurological tics, agitation, addiction, and psychosis. Talking Back to Ritalin uncovers these and other startling facts and translates the research findings for parents and doctors alike. An advocate for education not medication, Dr. Breggin empowers parents to channel distracted, disenchanted, and energetic children into powerful, confident, and brilliant members of the family and society.
