treating ADHD naturally

by Kimidawn, Jul 01, 2008 12:50AM
My 8 year old son has recently been diagnosed with ADHD and I am looking for alternatives to prescription medication for him.  The school is pushing me to put him on prescription drugs but I want to use them as a last resort.  Is there anyone who has had success in treating a child with ADHD without perscription drugs?

Hi there-
check www.thedrakeinstitute.com or google it if that website is not right.  I have been diagnosed with adult add, and had it as child but was overlooked.  I have been on medication for 8 months, and it is working, however, i too want alternative help, and discovered the drake institute and have a consultaion with them next week.  I'm very excited in hopes that their way will help me long term.  Try not to medicate your son, if at all possible.  Check out this site first!
Good luck!
