This is a perspective that you do not hear in the media or from the average Doctor. Our Doctor diagnosed me in 5 minutes after asking me some BS questions.
It is crazy. I went nearly bananas taking Adderall. The only good thing about Adderall was that I lost almost 15 pounds… but trust me, it was not worth it.
Thank you for this video and for getting the Truth out there. I have read the book.
I knew a bunch of the info, but there were some really good angles that I have never thought of before. I will be trying the supplements in step 2 soon.
Our Doctor is recommending the new ADHD drug Vyvanse. Has anyone had any experiences yet? I am very leary of using meds… especially after watching this video.
Wow! thank you for all the comments. I have been flooded with positive emails. It really encourages me!
To answer your question. The jury is still out on Vyvanse… but I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. Shire created for the sole purpose of replacing their blockbuster $$multi-million drug Adderall.
Reason: the adderall patent is about to run out… and they need a “new” drug to replace it.
So put your kid on this drug so that the stockholders remain happy
I don’t think so!
Thank you for being active and making sure we all have the Truth on this very confusing issue.
I am loving the book… but the membership site with all the videos and articles has been a really big help. I have a new, positive perspective on my ADHD. Thanks
Jon,
I appreciate all of this great info!
Someone asked about the side effects of Vyvanse. Well, my child just started taking Vyvanse and I am highly concerned. They always said there are no side effects other than losing weight from taking ADD med’s and this is a lie!!!! My child has had blurry vision, nausea, stomach aches, she paces back and forth, has tics now, and difficulty sleeping. She also became very emotional crying for hours. We are no longer taking ADD med’s, until I do more research!!! Why has the United States Federal Government allowed the FDA to lie to us! It clearly states all these side effects on the drug label, yet the doctors say there are no side effects!!!!
wow! ididn’t know about this..thank you very much,this video is really helpful. The psychiatrist prescribed my son a Daytrana patch and there’s a lot of side effects and I saw your web and I decided ther’s no medication for my son.
Yes. It is like playing with fire. There is really no need because you can get better results naturally anyway!

My daughter has had the basic food allergy test and shows no allergies. But her doctor prescribes her Claritin and Veramyst for ’seasonal allergies’. Our physician is a big advocate for the ALCAT food and chemical sensitivity screening. This blood test will report sensitivities and then you remove them from your diet. We have not done this because it is extremley expensive and of course-out of network. Has anyone heard or tried this test?
Yes. This is an excellent idea and something that I really recommend.
Although it is extras work, you will be better for it in the long run. You can also get a hair sample tested for vitamins and nutrients you child may be lacking.
Just read your book. I had no idea. I have a eleven year old w/ADHD and we have taken him off of any med because of all the side effects. He was not sleeping, eating or socializing. He is much happier now and so are we, but I am afraid his school work will suffer. What should I try first? The vitamins or ne-be-calm? Any info would be helpful.
I would do the vitamins first and then add the neu-beCALM’d after you get that down pat

Hi, I am new to this site, in fact just purchased the book so have not read it yet. I have an 8 year old son who was recently diagnosed with mild form of ADHD. Doctors are suggesting drugs and I am still not sure on what to do. Has any one used or given to their children a drug called “Strattera”? It is supposed to be a non stimulant drug. Thanks.
Yes, Strattera was supposed to be the safer “non” stimulant ADD drug, but many doctors are moving away from Strattera because it has show to cause serious liver damage. There are a bunch of class action lawsuits. google it – Jon
This video was soo helpful! We have just finished taking our son off of Strattera. I am ashamed to say that he had been on this med for about six years. He is doing just fine although he is a little impulsive at times. What 11 year old isn’t? His grades at school are okay. We have started him on Omega 3, a good multivitamin, extra magnesium, and cleared the sugar out of his diet. He still has asthma and I would like to get whatever books I can to help me with further figuring out what else maybe causing allergy type problems. What books do you recommend? I want to say to everyone out there. STAY as far away as possible from the drugs that are being pushed at our kids. Kids are dying from this stuff.
Wow, that is a great powerful message. I do treat kids with ADHD and ADD symptoms with EFT and/ or NLP, plus a sugarfree and additive free diet. (If you’re interetsed: EFT4ADD.com, free manual & lots of free info video’s etc). EFT plus diet has a 80% success rate, but I will definitely look into the allergies as well. I got rid of my own allergies by using a combination of NLP and EFT; I was on an elimination diet for 20+ years before that.
For most kids a simple histamine-low diet would probably work, and then tackle the allergies for example with NLP and/or EFT?
Thanks so much for sharing this and for making parents aware!
PS. Vyvanse actually is an amphetamine;
Try getting off of wheat gluten It cleared up my asthma. It was even in some underarm deodorants.
I took Vyvanse, and it was good for a few months but I became seriously underweight. I dropped from a healthy 130 to 112 at my lowest. Everybody noticed how “skinny” I was and they weren’t saying it in a good tone. No matter how much I tried to eat I couldn’t gain any weight and my boyfriend became very concerned for me. I am also in the military and I tested positive for amphetamine and had to submit all kinds of paperwork proving that I was taking it legally. Imagine taking a meth derivative legally? It also took down my libido so I slowly eased off of it and have been much happier. Taking supplements has definitely helped and without the awful side effects of medication.
I AM GLAD THAT YOUR SON IS OFF STRATTERA. MY SON IS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND HE WAS OFFERED THE DRUG. HE TOOK IT FOR EIGHT DAYS AND HE WOULD NOT TAKE IT AGAIN. HE WOULD ACTUALLY FIGHT WITH ME NOT TO TAKE IT. HE HAS EPILEPSY. HE TAKES HIS MEDICINE WITHOUT HESITATION. THE STRATTERA WAS LIKE A CROSS TO A VAMPIRE.
NO DADDY, PLEASE I DON’T WANT IT. I AM NOT TAKING IT. NOPE, I DON’T LIKE IT. HE WOULD RUN AWAY FROM ME. OUT THE DOOR AND DOWN THE STREET HE WENT. I SAID WHY DON’T YOU LIKE IT? HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL? HE WOULD NOT ELABORATE. HE JUST REFUSED TO TAKE IT. I USED TO MIX IT WITH YOGURT. HE ACTUALLY SPIT IT OUT THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES I GAVE IT TO HIM. HE MIGHT OF ONLY TAKEN IT FOR SIX DAYS.
NO MORE. I SAID I AM SORRY SON. IF YOU DON’T WANT IT YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT. HE USED TO COMPLAIN OF HEART SCARES WHEN HE WAS ON ADDEROL, AND STRATTERA. SIX/SEVEN YEARS OLD AND HE WOULD DESCRIBE A PAIN IN HIS HEART AS A HEART SCARE. THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR ME. THESE ARE CALLED PHYSCHO-STIMULANT DRUGS. THE HUMAN BODY DOES NOT PRODUCE SO CALLED PHYSCHO-STIMULANT DRUGS. THESE KIDS DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT HAVE A PHYSCHO-STIMULANT DEFICIENCY.
THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS DO NOT MAKE MONEY FROM PRESCRIBING A BETTER DIET OR VITAMINS OR SUPPLEMENTS. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. NOBODDY FROM THE FOOD INDUSTRY GOES TO THESE DOCTORS AND SAYS ADVISE MORE PEOPLE TO EAT MORE VEGETABLES AND FRUIT AND I WILL GIVE YOU A PERCENTAGE OF THE SALES PROFIT.
DRUG SALESMEN DO THIS. THAT IS WHY THEY GIVE AWAY SAMPLES. DRUG SALESMEN ARE ALWAYS AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE WITH THIER BIG BAG OF GOODIES TO SHOW THEM. THEY SHOW UP AT THE CONVENTIONS THAT THE MEDICAL PROFESSION HOLDS EACH YEAR IN LAS VEGAS, PUERTO RICO, AND OTHER EXOTIC LOCATIONS.
DO YOU THINK THAT THESE DOCTORS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS DRIVE AROUND IN BMW’S AND MERCEDES BECAUSE THEY ARE NICE PEOPLE? NO. THEY NEED MONEY TOO. THEY HAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN STUDENT LOANS TO PAY OFF. MEDICAL SCHOOL IS EXPENSIVE. I DON’T BLAME THEM.
THE BOTTON LINE IS ABOUT THE MONEY. NOT ABOUT MAKING SOMEONE HEALTHY. DO NOT USE DRUGS, DON’T, DON’T, DON’T. WHAT DOES IT MATTER TO THEM IF YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER DIES? KIDS DIE EVERYDAY. IT WOULD ONLY AFFECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. NOT THIERS. THEY MIGHT BE SAD FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN BUSINESS AS USUAL. NOT MY KID. NOPE, NOT MY KID AND I
HOPE NOT YOURS.
CHANGE THE DIET. I GAVE MY SON MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENTS TWO DAYS AGO AND HIS BEHAVIOR IN SHCOOL AND AT HOME WAS EXCEPTIONAL. IT WAS THE BEST TWO DAYS HE HAS HAD IN SCHOOL ALL YEAR. THE SCHOOL STAFF ASKED ME WHAT I DID AND I JUST SMILED AND SAID WATCH WHAT I CAN DO. GOOD LUCK TO ALL PARENTS, I WILL TAKE AN OVERACTIVE, HAPPY, VIBRANT, HEALTHY, CREATIVE, KID OVER A DEAD KID ANY DAY. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL.
SINCERELY,

My grandson was taking concerta and resperdone.He developed a kind of gasping and facial ticks.I found out both have pretty much the same side effects..so what was causing the problem is anyones guess.I’m taking him off both.How long before the facial tics went away with your child.Is he better now?
dear Neil,
Are you a parent of a child with ADHD? Please share with me what diet and what supplement did you use for your child.
I am so distraught about my 11 yr old treatment plan that I dont know what to do ..he has been prescribed so many different meds that seem to last few weeks or not at all. I desperately need to help him help himself. He is in middle school and having difficutly listening, focusing, making friends. I gave up my nursing career, my social life, my everything to help help him. Please email me and let me k now. thank you, heidi
Hi, I just watched the video and read through the posts. My daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed the medicine vyvanse. She has not started it yet because the insurance does not cover it until it gets pre-approved. Right now I do not have the money to buy the book that is being talked about. Can someone tell me what natural ways to help ADHD. I also don’t want my child to lose weight or lose her personality. (She’s 15)
Hi!
I just sent you an email with some information. I hope it helps!!
-Jon
Thank You very much I will start to look at it very soon.
