Many people ask me about natural cures for ADHD. Some people I know try them and know they work. Other people may not fully believe, but are curious, and so have tried a natural cure because it worked for someone they knew. Then there are people like me who will always try the natural or holistic approach mainly because it has worked so well for me. Even physicians are applying this homeopathic knowledge and using it with conventional medicines. I could tell you hundreds of stories from people where natural cures for ADHD worked, but you have to try them for yourself. What works for one child may not work for another but then that's what they do with all the ADHD meds. They experiment with several to find the right one! So why not experiment with natural treatments for ADHD?

Now with ADHD I have heard friends with small children telling me of the problems on prescription medication and I have heard many outstanding results with natural treatments for ADHD. There are some people who believe the ADHD epidemic is overblown with big Pharma making quite a bit of money from all of us and for any condition. Just look at the commercials. Do you really believe they have all of those commercials and "agents" giving free samples to the doctors because they want you healthy?

So many people believe in natural cures for ADHD that Consumer advocacy groups are working to get the FDA to come around to the dangers of artificial food colorings. The consumer advocacy groups claim these additives could cause hyperactivity and behavior problems in some children. When did you start hearing of ADHD? During the 60's when artificial dyes made there way into main stream foods and fast foods started to become the norm.

Research has proven that some dyes in food and yes, ADHD meds actually contain these dyes which trigger behaviors associated with ADHD. For 30 years the Center for Science in the Public Interest has mentioned the effect of dyes with children. The United Kingdom has begun switching to safer colorings. Here's a shocker instead of using Red Dye #40 for strawberry syrup the UK uses REAL strawberries!

Some children can benefit from prescription medications; they do serve a purpose for certain illness, but not everything needs a pharmaceutical pill. Natural cures for ADHD have a place also in treatments and have helped many children get off the pharmaceutical merry go round.
