Product 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

I bought this book for myself; I am an adult that was only recently diagnosed with ADD, and I wanted to try dealing with the problem naturally rather than always relying on drugs (which, if properly prescribed, are fine).
I will grant that there are some interesting ideas in here about nutritional deficiencies perhaps contributing to the symptoms, and they were helpful in pointing me toward researching more reliable sources on the same subject (the part about minerals like magnesium and zinc being common deficiencies I would never have known about). But they lost me a tad when they started discussing aromatherapy and Chinese medicine, and then I started questioning most of the book.
While I can appreciate this isn't a technical book, there is no attempt to show research studies backing up some of their claims, and some of the claims sounded like they were simply winging it in an attempt to paraphrase in an accessible way ("this causes heating in the brain"?? I'm hoping that was a typo). Other claims just sounded like pure BS, like they took the word of some schmoe in a pharmacy who claimed to know a lot about herbal supplements.
While I don't doubt a more natural and nutritional approach to treating ADD works best for many people, I believe there must be far better books out there on the subject. | | |  | very simple answers to a complicated problem Jan 23, 1999 |
