Alternative ADD treatment

pycnogenol aka pine bark extract

or snort lemon juice

METH will do the trick for you

Omega 3.

Walnuts, oils like Flaxseed oil or hemp oil, you can find at your local co-op. There are other foods that have it.

Good luck

The quickest, cheapest and simplest solution is to remove excess sugar from your diet.

Check out "That Sugar Film".

Good luck.

Omega 3 and L Theanine.

Please explain what ailment you have that require taking amphetamine (which is what Adderall is).

Supposedly matcha tea. It's expensive, but possibly worth trying.

If you've not already tried, your MD might be able to contact the insurance company to request an exception.

Or, if they make adderall in a sustained release version, maybe your MD could prescribe that.

I think insurance companies are especially cautious about add drugs because some are prone to abuse. Not excusing their rigid stance, simply explaining one possible reason.

If you can locate wild sources, Ephedra aka Mormon Tea (grows in Utah?) though made illegal due to OD side effects is nice as a snuff or tiny doses, too much effects the heart.

Since it has ephedrine which is a precursor to meth & adderal it got banned for that too, like some pseudoephedrine cold remedies. The latter have a similar effect slightly.

Orthomolecular Psychiatry is best approach, second Clinical Ecology but in either case besides prescribing nutraceuticals they can test for vitamin deficiencies or dependencies & give a regimine, also Cytotoxic Blood Tests are invaluable for rooting out allergies & sensitivities ala the Feingold diet.

Organic food & filtered water, also Hatha Yoga by Yogi Ramacharaka, the breathing exercises will level you out some.

As some mentioned, brain foods like brewer's yeast, wheat germ, lecithin, 5-http, some of the other brain needs like derived from lecithin, can't recall. Flax oil, fish oil, eat Salmon.

Probably should take a good megavitamin but check rating service for brands, avoid synthetic vitamins. Get 30 min sunbathing daily for natural Vit D.

I am 54 years old and when I was young - up into my teenage years - I had ADD.

My Dad found the cure: his three inch wide leather belt.
Across my ass. Across the back of my thighs.

Whack. Cry. Repeat. . . until the lesson sank in.

All cured!

That's cool but I don't think OP is looking for a dom daddy. Nice of you to offer though.

I have to work all day and night at this without any rest.

"Military" war time.

If you buy matcha preferably find one not produced in china... as its most likely high in lead even if organic. For this reason dont give to children or pregnant women... obviously. Some will say the nutritional benefits outway the lead content... up to you to know your sources.

Replace all light bulbs to full spectrum lighting, get plenty of natural light.

Calcium. Magnesium. Zinc.

coffee…..uppers have something to do with the way the nurons and synapse work. I never liked the Stuff from my doctor

Low doses (3-5 grams)of Kratom helps with energy and concentration.
It's still legal in most states.

THIS!^^^ it works! Try bali kratom.

Ironically, I think OP forgot this thread.

5-10 years ago no one would have even thought like that, much less stated what you just said.

Hey retard OP. There's no proof ADD exists, you fucking idiot retard. It's a marketing gimmick to make money on healthy children. DUMB FUCK.

ADHD has no scientific basis in reality and no proof it exists, nor any way to measure it or take a test for it. It's part of a long line of fake mental disorders designed to exploit you for money by rich corporations who don't care whether you live or die. Anyone can take a drug to increase concentration, but it doesn't mean anyone was ever missing the ability to concentrate to begin with. Add on unnecessary over-diagnosing to make even more money.

What a tool. OP is on medication for fake mental disorders with no evidence they exist. What an epic fail!

ADD does not exist.

If that *lesson* sank in, you were never ADD..GFY

ADD is an abnormal prefrontal cortex that lacks normal inhibition and symptoms can be suppressed by most stimulants including double shot espressos. On hard days bronchaid over the pharmacy counter helps a lot.

ADHD is supposed to be on the autism spectrum, but as a special education teacher, the symptoms are identical to children with high anxiety caused by environmental reasons, such as problems at home, etc.

I hate the Ritalin solution, but am no doctor nor pharmacist.

One thing that can help these children function is to create a very calm, highly regulated home (and school) environment. Sound and light should be kept low and calming; child's activities and surroundings should be regulated, up at same time, bathed and dressed at same time, breakfast at same time, ....the child needs this regularity and familiarity to keep fear at minimum.

These children often have extreme sensitivity to fabrics next to their skin, so prefer to wear soft fabrics. They often confuse sounds and lights with other senses. Keep routines low sensation, quiet, regular and no surprises.

Refrain from yelling, striking, grabbing or beating these highly susceptible chldren. It will make the problem worse.

Keep highly stimulating activities to a minimum; ask the teacher to allow the student a 'quiet space', especially during overly stimulating activities.

Ensure the child has plenty of reasonable exercise. Maybe shorten the child's academic day if he/she is exhibiting ADD/ADHD behavior, to relieve anxiety.

When issuing directives to the child, give one directive at a time not in a list. He/she will only remember the last item on the list. As the child is older, an actual list of a few items can be given to him/her and the child can cross off his duty as he performs it.

I have been listening to a really informative audiobook that is very applicable in the modern age of information overload, it's called "The Organized Mind" by Daniel Levitin. He had a chapter about ADD and attention etc and from what I can remember he mentioned dopamine a lot and a synthetic form or supplement called L-DOPA that, I think?, can be purchased at health food stores. I am giving it some thought.

I took Ritalin once, from a friend, and played guitar for 8 hours straight. And when I used the internet etc I was speed reading everything and scrolling like crazy. It works...

If you are ADD, stimulants have the opposite effect - they calm you down..that's how you ferret out bipolars.

I don't consider it a disease to be eradicated, but rather part of one's personality.
