Treating ADD/ADHD Without Medication

ADD/ADHD is one of the most frequent diagnoses is pediatrician’s offices.  Many parents are led to believe that medication is their only option. Most parents would prefer to not medicate their child.

So what are your other options?

Often times, these children have several other underlying health symptoms such as a history of chronic ear infections and allergies which through treatments with medication and/or other environmental stressors contribute to the possibility that your child also has an imbalance in their gastrointestinal system.

When the health of the G-I Tract is disturbed, it not only creates an inflammatory response which can manifest itself  in the form of hyperactivity, it can also prevent the absorption of key nutrients that your child needs to be able to focus.  

Addressing the health of the G-I Tract is a good first step towards treating your child’s symptoms of ADD/ADHD and is one that parents may want to consider before medication.
