QUESTION1
"How do I go about taking my child off meds and switching to herbal remedies? How important is diet? "
- Cheryl
ANSWER
Hi Cheryl,
We have two great products which can be used on their own or in combination. BrightSpark™ and Focus Formula™ are both proven over thousands of satisfied children, adolescents and adults, and are non-addictive with no side effects. Each product is effective on its own - however, the best recommendation is a combination of the two products. By using a combination of two remedies that work differently, you have the best chance for success.
BrightSpark is very effective -- as a homeopathic remedy, one would take it every day, including on weekends. Some children immediately benefit from BrightSpark, while for others it can take up to 3- 6 weeks for full effect. However, it is ultimately extremely effective. BrightSpark comes in small sucking tablets, taken 2 at a time, 3 times daily.
Focus Formula is a safe and very effective herbal remedy. It is easy to administer (being in liquid form) and contains ingredients in one formula. Your child would take a few drops in some water (or juice) in the morning, and again in the evening -just two doses per day. Focus Formula is very effective with no unwanted sedative effects.
While some professionals dismiss them as nonsense, we have see some spectacular changes in children once certain foods have been removed from their diets. Not all children respond, but there are definitely some children who do - and quite dramatically!
Things to avoid are soda pops and 'fizzy' cool drinks (especially cola drinks), anything with caffeine (cola drinks, coffee, chocolate), food with high sugar content as well as anything containing tartrazine (an artificial food coloring), MSG or artificial preservatives.
One must make allowances for the occasional treat and freedom to enjoy a birthday party for example, but educate your child and be firm about what may and may not be eaten, especially on school days:
- Avoid foods and drinks high in sugar - e.g. candies - during school days and limit over weekends.
- Try to keep junk foods down to a minimum.
- See what happens if you eliminate wheat and refined carbohydrates from the diet for a few weeks. Many children have a wheat intolerance, which can cause hyperactivity. Instead use oats, brown rice and rye bread.
- Eat lots of fresh fruit, salads and veggies. Include fish in the diet as much as possible.
- Take a supplement containing flaxseed oil or evening primrose oil.
If your child 'loses control' and tends to resort to temper tantrums, this is often due to low frustration tolerance, frequent misunderstandings due to communication problems and poor ability to defer gratification of needs. Children with these problems respond very favorably to our Tula Tantrum Tamer™, which is also a homeopathic remedy.
While there may be other issues needing attention in your child's case (as each child is different and should be treated as an individual), we would recommend that you begin with these recommendations. If there are any remaining concerns after a 6 - 12 week trial, we will be happy to advise you further.
Full dosage instructions are given on each container as well as on our web links.
