Help for the hyperactive child without prescription drugs? Read on!

It is estimated that 15% - 20% of children in the U.S. suffer with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) which is excessive or increased activity. There are many symptoms and they vary widely from child to child. Twenty-five years ago there were one in each class, now there are five according to a leading pediatrician. Symptoms include distractibility, confusion, inflexibility and unpredictability, constant movement, food cravings and allergies, sleep problems and coordination, impatience, recklessness, extremely emotional, talks excessively and has difficulty paying attention. Once the child notices or perceives something, something has to be done about it. Residual ADD also occurs in adults, exhibiting similar symptoms. Many experts think these children and adults are affected by the foods they eat, especially sugar and sometimes "healthy" foods such as dairy products, corn or wheat. About 20% of the population seems to have some psychological background allowing food to affect behavior. Most ADD children and adults feel better if they eat small amounts of food frequently throughout the day. Excellent snack foods are fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, protein shakes, chicken/turkey cubes, hard-boiled eggs, whole grain toast or crackers with unprocessed nut butters. Omega 3 fatty acids are extremely important. All children and adults (with or without ADD) need to take at least one tablespoon of high-lignan flax oil every day. According to "Naturopathic Handbook of Herbal Formulas", the answer to ADD and hyperactivity are a combination of herbs shown in the following chart. This makes sense as homeopathic remedies aid the body systems to fight imbalances. Usually when we get sick we are considered "out of balance". This is one of the most exciting breakthroughs for ADD and hyperactive children. While all of these herbs have been used singly with some success, when combined into a specific synergistic bio-active formula, the results have been dramatic. All across the country parents, teachers and doctors are attesting to the fact that there is finally an alternative to prescription drugs with their unacceptable side effects. The following chart shows the herbs included in the Melissa Supreme formula and perhaps why they work so well. In addition, we (Karinya) think you should seriously consider taking your children off of all soft drinks, especially those that contain aspartame, neotame and other sweeteners.
