recklessness

insomnia Does your child or loved one exhibit any of these symptoms? Are you overwhelmed by what seems like out-of-control behavior? Have you tried therapists who are all-too-willing to prescribe medication like Ritalin and Prozac for your child?s behavioral problems? Do you worry about side effects and the long-term implications of prescribed drugs? Did you know there is a simple blood test that might guide you in making safe decisions for the health of your child and family? If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, or if you have suspected that he/she may fit this catch-all term frequently used to describe common behavioral conditions, this may be the most important book you have read in years. A certified teacher and counselor herself, Linda Santini documents more than 20 years of dealing with ADHD-like symptoms and a wide array of treatments. From therapists to risky medications, from extreme symptoms to dangerous consequences, the author?s family experiences led her to a decade of research into the causes of ADHD and promising natural treatments. As a parent and caring professional, Santini asks the hard questions: Why are therapists and schools so eager to mask symptoms and unwilling to address causes? If there are natural treatments?and there are?that address the causes of ADHD, where do we begin? Are there better ways for parents to cope with difficult behaviors that may be biochemically based? Why are the AMA and the APA so reluctant to acknowledge the importance of natural therapies, nutrition, vitamins and minerals in the treatment of biochemical imbalances that have been proven to cause mental disorders? AND, did you know that anxiety, ADD, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder or ODD, depression, and Schizophrenia often result from the same treatable causes, such as Pyroluria? What if supplements like protein, B-complex, B-3, B-6, B-12, B-50, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, niacin, calcium, essential fatty acids, magnesium, and other minerals might help address the causes of your child's mental and behavioral difficulties? Would they be worthy of your research and consideration? Santini provides a simple, clear, and understandable overview of Orthomolecular Medicine, Orthomolecular Therapy, the research of experts like Dr. Abram Hoffer, Dr. Humphrey Osmond and Dr. Carl Pfeiffer, as well as resources like the the Pfeiffer Treatment Center and how they have helped thousands of families. Whether you are a parent, teacher, principal, medical professional, counselor, police officer, pastor, or youth worker, Solving the Mystery of ADHD?Naturally casts essential light into the dark corners too many children and families inhabit. A hopeful message for all of us striving for real mental health!
