Homeopathy for ADHD?Filed Under: Alternative Treatments for ADHD
Q:
"A co-worker keeps urging me to take my son off ADHD medication and have him treated by a homeopathic doctor. Can homeopathy really help?" 
A:
Homeopathic treatments have not been proven to help ADHD. If your co-worker is not a friend, you can say, "Thank you, but I accept the advice of my child's physician." If she is a friend, you might say that you checked into homeopathy for ADHD and learned that there is no scientific evidence that proves it works.
Larry Silver, M.D., is the author of Dr. Larry Silver's Advice to Parents on AD/HD and The Misunderstood Child: Understanding and Coping with Your Child's Learning Disabilities. He is also a clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
