I was browsing the net and came across 2 natural medicines designed for ADD. The feedbacks were very positive. I am not too keen on taking meds such as Concerta.... I have had very negative experiences with Lithium.... Need your advice. Thanks

I already have a very healthy diet (not too much sugar and junk food) and take vitamin B supplements.

first advice is stay away from doctors. most prescribe drugs as a solution to everything, including common colds. everyone has ADD to some degree or other. drugs will supress your senses. you will miss your life! take control of it.

I have heard of a juice drink called Noni (not sure if spelled right). I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and we have a Whole Foods Market her that has all natural juices and herbal products as well as herbal medications and other natural foods. Noni juice is said to help with the control of tempers and/or in place of an afternoon medication or other dose. Hope that helps.

If it is true ADD or ADHD, it is a chemical imbalance in your brain. There are some commercialized " natural " alternatives but to tell you from experience (my son has ADHD) the natural remedies do not work. He is taking the non-stimulative prescription medicine called Stratera. I am pleased with the results. But...if you want to try the natural products see what your doctor says is the best...

Stop eating processed foods, start eating whole grains and fresh vegetables.
Stop with the mass quantities of sugar.
Start a regular exercise program to release excess energy.
Seriously.

a previous answer refers you to your doctor for advice on natural treatments. That's like going to the corner drug dealer for that advice, Remember pharmaiceutics have long lists of negative effects, but that doesn't stop your doctor from prescribing them.

If it was your kids, I would say plenty of rest, slaps, and no caffeine, but plenty for you. But since it's you, take plenty of speed.
