My son Garrett was diagnosed with ADHD 4 mths ago and was put on Vyvance. I really love the meds, he has really calmed down and not bring home red lights anymore.  ;)  .. So that is really good. We increased his Vyvance at the last appt.  He was getting a little out of control again, well we are there again. What Meds are your children on or what do you do??   Thanks Carrie

Hi Carrie....I' m Barrie...Author of the Autism & ADHD Diet......My book is in the book club on this site. I'm excited to be part of this new venture!!! I am just learning the ropes and checking out the different discussions here, to see if I can help.

I'm sad to hear that you LOVE drugs. i wrote my book, because after talking to 1000's of moms and hearing how diet vs. drugs was the magic trick...I knew I had to give diet a chance for my son. It has been our miracle!! You can read our story in my book and on my web site www.puttingyourkidsfirst.com

Sadly, meds have so many side effects in children..esp younger ones, with growing bodies!! I've heard so many horror stories..it's VERY sad!!

Please check out my TV interview on my web site and investigate FEINGOLD.org...you will read some AMAZING and wonderful stories of families who are now drug free, thanks to change in diet.

The most important thing to rid a child with ADHD is to GET RID OF ANYTHING artificial..especially artificial dyes and preservatives...they are VILE to ANY child's body esp to those with ADHD and Autism. Nitrites, too are VILE!! The chemicals have made my autistic son and typical daughter OUT OF CONTROL, whinny, meltdowns, bouncing off the wall, unable to sit still. 

I have a FREE 4 page starter guide...email me via my web site...happy to send it to ya!!  Happy to answer any questions, too.

There is another way..a safer way.....I hope you will seriously think about it!
