Helping your Child - Naturally

If you are a parent living with a child who has been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD – you know how frustrating it can be to try to help them be all they can be.

Maybe your child is on pharmaceutical drugs and maybe they are working – for some kids it does work and with no side effects.

For many more of us though – pharmaceutical drugs are not our first option and they also don’t always work as planned. With so little known about the long term effects of these drugs on developing minds – it is no wonder more parents and trying to seek alternative treatments.

As a mother, I also tried alternative methods: from Omega 3 fish oils to dietary changes and while they had a slight impact – they did not give the results we desired and needed.  With all of my first attempts at natural healing unsuccessful – I had no choice but to try the pharmaceutical offerings by our pediatrician. Time to face facts – our son was struggling in school, not making friends and losing self esteem due to his own realization that he was not where he should be academically and socially.

Our Pharmaceutical Drugs:

Up to bat first was Strattera – scary side effects after 5 months and we ended that option. Next – Concerta – worked a bit, then faded. Upped the dose and was WAY to high – poor kid was running a mile a minute with his mouth!

Adderral was next and it did seem to work for six months – and then…just seemed to work off & on – nothing consistent.

Native Remedies gets Recommended:

Just at this time, another mom in my community was saying how much her son had improved on something called “Focus Formula” by Native Remedies.  I checked out their site and products and read more customer reviews than I ever had before. All good feedback – all good responses so I decided to give it a try.

Our Mix:

Judging my son’s behavior I first tried the BrightSpark to help with his hyperactivity & impulsiveness. I also started the Focus Formula at the same time. He was doing great after only a week – less hyper and fidgety but still had his mood swings, anger issues and emotional flare ups.

So we tried Mindsoothe Jr and his own words on Day 2 were ” I feel calm inside – not as crazy as before.” Now, lucky for me he is almost 11 so he can vocalize his feelings.

I played with the meds a little – if he ran out of focus I let him stay off for a week or so to see if there was a change -there was. We tried variations of the meds and have decided to keep him on all 3 for now and yes, they work well for him.

The results:

More controlled, able to focus, less fidgety and in general: more rounded out as a person. This combined with good diet: no milk (only soy), limited refined sugar, 2 bananas a day, LOTS of water to flush the system – and also with exercise to help run off some energy & be part of a team group – we find this solution doing wonders!

I brought this product in as part of my store line up so I could offer the products at a nice low cost. It only makes sense if it can help others – why shouldn’t I bring it in and help others save money? Heck, if I’m ordering it for my boy – may as well bring lots in and help others try it to! So Natural E GREEN in Canada now carries these products from Native Remedies.

So I keep in stock:

Mindsoothe Jr

Focus Formula

Brightspark

Everything else can be ordered in and if something is ordered often enough I will keep it in stock too. I have ordered other formulas (ADD for adults, Vertigo treatments, PMS soother, digestive) and delivery time is quite fast.

A note:

My son was NOT on his pharmaceutical drugs when we tried Native Remedies. Although he could have taken them while on Adderral, I wanted a real comparison and since the Adderral was inconsistent anyways – decided to take him off and give the Native Remedies a real try.

This post is about my own personal experience with Native Remedies and does not, like any other drug (pharmaceutical or herbal), give any guarantees that your results will be the same.  There are many, many testimonials out there – and at least 5 from people I know personally that do give reason to try this product and see for yourself if it is a good fit for your child.
