"Dear Simon,
I have got an ADHD child 9 years of age. I've read
through your article and I have to say that I agree with you that not a lot
is known about the side effects of these drugs given to these kids. My
experience with them are limited to Ritalin and Adderall. I have to tell you
I was not impressed with either. Against the wishes of my husband to the
point of having very HEATED arguments with him, I got our son these meds
hoping they would work. I was desparate to try anything to have my son
function at " normal " level. While my son is not destructive he was being
disruptive to his peers because he was always moving and wanting to play. I
found these drugs did no more than just what they are; Drug him. This while
calming his physical symptoms, had no effect on his ability to focus.
I took him off the meds ,and was to the point of home schooling. I was
fortunate enough to have been directed to a charter school in his school
district that teaches only children with his disability.
Since being there our son was chosen as one of 3 kids to participate in an
experiment involving Magnets and Far Infar Red. We were so pleased with the
results my husband and I have become distributors and are busy telling all
who are willing to listen about these non invasive and drugless products that
can help others. While we are not claiming these products to be medical
devices we believe them to be an alternative to these drugs.
As you stated in your article, sleep deprivation has been
shown to have an effect and even more pronouncement of these symptoms
expressed by these children.
One of these magnetic products I mentioned is a sleep system. It is a
mattress pad in which magnets are dispersed and secured. There is also a
comforter that is made with the FIR ceramics which is floated into the fabric
of the comforter. It was to my delight that I found these products had a
very positive effect on my son.
My objective is to introduce you to a product that has been my experience and
that of others to be helpful to those children.
I am including my phone number and email . Please be aware that my answering
machines' outgoing message is that of my husband's company as, he works from
home.
