ADHD « Nature Cures Clinic: A Naturopathic Acupuncture Chinese Medicine Clinic in Portland Oregon

A second study looked at brain performance in children 6 to 14 years old before and after one year of taking a multivitamin/mineral supplement. The results are hardly surprising: there was a significant improvement on two different attention tasks than kids not taking the supplements.

Ironically, what are the most commonly prescribed medications for school aged children? Of course they are medications for attention deficit. How much more sensible would it be to supplement these kids with multivitamins than to “supplement” them with pharmaceuticals?

The Naturopathic Approach to ADD/ADHD

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Listen to The Naturopathic Approach to ADD/ADHD

In this podcast, Dr. Eckel and Dr. Nigh address the politics and money that the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD swims in. Is it a true diagnosis for these patients, many of them kids? Or are there some other aspects that need to be looked at before these patients receive this label, and therefore forced to take medication that they really might not need?
