I haven’t yet been down the medication path with my 8yo son, and strive to get the needed vitamins and minerals into him, but it is struggle, especially as I try to avoid those “kid friendly” chewable vitamins because of the sweetners added. Has anyone got a suggestion of how you get tablets into a child??
Thanks for the site Jon and the chance to interact with other like-minded people with similar issues.

I’ve always been confused why a person wouldn’t give the natural body a chance to work the way it is intended, and instead taking a chemical to treat a condition to only mask its symptoms and create more problems with the “side effects” from a chemical. (in some cases having to take other chemicals to treat those problems) We have always been told to eat right exercise, and get some R&R when stressed. We really need to slow down and think about our choices and find out all of our options and STOP looking for a quick fix. Thank you for your information and making it easy to identify what to look for and avoid! Thank you Jon Bennett for being “The Other quick fix”

Yes! After you have exhausted all possible natural treatments and it is you last hope… only then should you try ADD meds, but I would definitely do your homework. Not all ADD meds are created equal.

Some are far more powerful than others.

I was recently diagnosed with ADD as an adult, and of course, the first thing I was instructed to do was to take Adderall. Instead, I decided to do some research and came across your site. Thanks to this article and others on your site, I am using your program first before filling that prescription! Thanks so much!

I have a question – is there ever a time when you would recommend that an ADD prescription medication be used as the first choice of treatment?

Great article! As Americans, we have got to stop looking for a quick fixes, such as medication, to cure our problems. There’s more to ADD/ADHD than popping a pill!

This is making me think of the treatment of ADD in a whole new way. Very interesting.
