Looking for Safe Natural Remedies

I have twin boys 6 yrs. will be 7 in November. Both have displayed symptoms of ADD and ADHD. I have taken them to their pediatrician and at the time did not want to formaly diagnose because they were premature 28.5 wks. and had some delay issues. We are waiting until their birthday to have them assessed again. My first step is I have decided to have them repeat the 1st grade, have them on fish oil supplements, and have just now been told about (Concentration Essentials for ADD/ADHD) has anyone heard of or tired these supplements for their children before? I have tried a few natural things since their teachers told me they had concerns but have seen no real difference. I have tried BeCalm products which have magnesium. One of my boys tends to be more hyper while the other MUCH slower but has almost no interest in anything regarding school... They will be going back in about 2 weeks and was just looking to give them a good start. Thanks so much any advice would be very appreciated.

Parenting kids with ADHD

Hello,

First I would like to recommend a book that has helped me a lot to understand that we have to rule out any other problem that might shows symptoms like ADHD. "Parenting kids with ADHD" By Vincent Monastra is a great deal of info that makes you think about going step by step before taking the meds. On our case, I guess we have tried a lot with not so much success. It might be time to start thinking about medication.

My son is 9 and ADHD. He was disgnosed when he was 7. We have tried several alternatives remedies (homeopathy, neurofeedback, gluten free diet, fish oil) but we have not had the results that we were expecting. He is very impulsive and he just can not focus at all. He has been seeing by a naturopathic doctor and was diagnosed by her as a highly intolerant to gluten and eggs( thru a blood work.) Since we changed his diet, his behavior improved noticeable (but not enough)

He also takes zinc and magnesium on a daily basis, cod liver oil, he is in a gluten-eggs free diet. Homeopathy treatments by a certified practitioner are a good and reliable option. You gotta know that homeopathy is a slow pace remedy, you won't see results quickly. If you are lucky that my work for your kids, but need to go with a practitioner, because the remedies are made according to the info provided.

Hopefully this info was helpful,

ANA
