Alternative to Meds for Child & Adult ADD/ADHD

October is ADHD National Awareness Month and I'm taking the opportunity to shout good news and hope from {cyber} rooftops!!

  

There are natural alternatives to treating ADD and ADHD without medication.  There is hope.  There is a "different" way and you have the right to explore choices and even buck the system if need be.  I'm a mother of 5, I wish more than anything that someone had shared this enlightened thinking with me years ago.



In actuality, the statistics are staggering - our children and our peers are taking prescriptive Class 2 drugs recommended by doctors and educators alike for ADD and ADHD.  Are you aware that Adderal and Ritalin are under the same classification as Oxycontin, Methadone and Percoset?  List of Schedule/Class 2 drugs available {HERE}.  

I'm not mincing words anymore...we're in crisis mode and in need of a tipping point.

The Drugging of our Children

{a documentary}

  

Take the time to watch this documentary and embrace the hard evidence that we need to turn the tide.  

Remember, knowledge is always power.  If you suspect you or your child is struggling with ADD or ADHD do your due diligence.  If you have time to watch a TV show, you have time to research.  There are so many people out there ready to help and educate.  Books, magazines, the internet, documentaries...every tool imaginable to help you make an educated decision, to help you make the necessary changes in your diet, your exercise routine and your environment.  Truly, there are no excuses to NOT being armed with knowledge when faced with the question:  A natural alternative or, medication?

My sister Dori, the creator of Jeddy's Blend has been a huge source of relief for many. Because of her own family's struggles with Anxiety, ADD/ADHD, Asperger's and PTSD she's been able to put practical wisdom and natural alternatives to work for them, it's been nothing short of amazing to watch.  Some may disagree but, intuition and intention will guide you well every time.

ADHD is real, I don't believe anyone can say that it isn't. Especially, if you yourself or your child struggles with it.  It's hard for a parent to sit and watch their child struggle daily and not know how to help.  Neither my sister or I are medical professionals, we're just average Mom's who needed some help.  Dori's story is powerful, she was getting pressure from school authorities to put her son on medication in 1st grade!  Of course, she couldn't stand the thought of it.  She herself as an adult has ADD and as a blogger, it's been difficult for her to concentrate long enough to write a post.  She tried medication several years ago, it made her sick, so run down that she got sick easily, broke out in cold sores, she was angry, irritable, couldn't sleep and, generally felt awful. Dori couldn't imagine putting her 1st grader through all that.

Does putting your child on medication make you a bad parent?
  

No.  A parent knows what is best for their child and what they need.

  

Some children will benefit from medication beautifully, it's right for their situation.  However, in my opinion all avenues of natural alternatives should be exhausted and medication the last resort. 

Before I close, I want to mention that teachers have such an important role in a child's life.  My nephew's 1st grade teacher treated him as if he was the worst child, of course it affected Jeddy. He always had recess taken away, my sister was getting calls daily from his teacher, and some days from the principal and Jed's confidence spiraled downward.  As a mother, my sister was desperate to find something that would help him without medicating him.  That's when she created Jeddy's Blend, a synergistic blend of PURE essential oils.

Topical application of Jeddy's Blend is uncomplicated and convenient with a high quality roller bottle.  I fill a roller bottle with the blend to apply.  A typical application:  Roll Jeddy's Blend on the bottoms of both feet every morning before leaving for school or work.  I also roll the blend at the base of the brain stem. Diffusing the blend at home during homework, in the office or classroom is also very effective!

In your own effort to make the right decision your due diligence will pay off.  Jeddy's Blend is one of many alternatives to using Class 2 narcotics.  Isn't it worth a try?  If you're wavering at all, maybe this info will help you decide.  During your most stressful days, reach for Jeddy's Blend.  This is my go-to remedy for stress and anxiety.  I've also used it as a gentle muscle relaxer...it relieved a stiff neck on my 3 yr old grandson.  In my book, it's a versatile family blend!
