Why so many kids on meds???

[vicki845]

First of all I would like to say to all the moms that have children who have add or odd. I truly beleive you have your children's BEST interest at heart. It has to be pretty tough making a decision to medicate or not. It also has to be very differcult dealing with their illness and NOT knowing what to do to help them. No one has the right to condemmed whatever decisions you make. Now for my 2 cents. I think that SOME people do beleive and accept everything that a doctor says to be right. Let me say I'm not against doctors or medicine. I am sure there are certain illness that require taking medicine but I think too many people beleive modern medicine is the ONLY way you can treat a lot of illlnessess. Which I beleive isn't right. Now I never had add nor do my children have it. However I do know what it's like to be very sick and not have a single doctor or meds help me. I got well through diet AND natural medicine. Which is my reason for posting. I know a lot of conditions CAN be treated by eating the right foods and elimating the bad ones. There is a lot of evidence that what we eat can cause certain illnessness. I would love it if anyone would research ADD and diet. I'm by no means saying that this Will cure add but I think it's worth doing the research on it. I don't know if I'm allowed to post any links but I just goggled diet and add and here are two links thet I found
