Hi Jennifer,

My son has a similar story and I will tell you, if it weren’t for Focus Formula and PureCalm I am not sure I would have survived his childhood. He is now a successful college student and I am SO grateful that I researched natural remedies for him!

Thank you so much for your story!

My niece has ADHD. She is a teenager now. Her mother has had an extremely difficult time keeping her ADHD under control over the years. My niece has even been very violent at times in her very young years. I presume that it was due to the ADHD. She has been on numerous prescription medications for this disease in the past, but only seemed to make her like a Zombie. She was unable to function normally in school or the rest of society because of it. Now, you here so much about the side effects of different prescription drugs that people have been taking for years. It is on the TV every single day………attorney’s trying to find people that have taken these different medications that are now experiencing serious ramifications from taking those medications. I just do not trust prescription medications and continually try to tell people I know to try other options. There is a lot less risk to your health, if you do not take so many different prescribed medications for your ailments. Not to mention, the cost now is absolutely through the roof. I just wish I had known about this ADHD remedy years ago. It may have saved my sister-in-law a lot of grief.I am currently licensed as a nurse, but still feel that the best way to treat yourself is through the natural approach to medicine. In my opinion, it is a much healthier avenue to stroll down. I have been practicing the natural approach to various ailments on myself for several years now, and WOW, what a difference it has made. I am just a firm believer in Natural Medicine and truly hope that I can convert as many people as I possibly can to believe in the same thing.

I am doing much research on it. It seems that you do not have enough dopamine, serotonin, norephinephrine, gaba and one more. To elevate these levels you can NOT just take these. they dont cross the blood brain barrier, but if you take amino acids that are pre cursors of these neurochemicals…..then they cross the blood brain barrier. very confusing. Do a search on serotonin and SDD or ADHD. I found that taking a supplement called L5htp and a few others are supposed to help because they are natural and change intoserotonin in the body. Vitamin b 6 along with zinc and other vitamins and minerals help to change over to the neurotransmitters that we need. Just look up the traits that you have with low serotonin, low dopamine, low norephinephrine, and low GABA. then look up all with too much of a level. some times an individual has one that’s too low and one thats too high or just right. all these medicines can not fit every case. that’s why they done work for the most part. they dont fix the problem, just mask it.

Thank you for the info…I have a friend whose son is severely adhd. and because I suffer from it myself, I feel for her son more than anyone cuz it can be sooo difficult for him because most people just don’t have patience or want to truly understand what people go thru who suffer from it.

Epsom salt baths can be a highly effective way to treat symptoms of ADD and ADHD. Studies have suggested that both conditions are commonly caused a magnesium deficiency within the body. Magnesium is essential to many of necessary daily enzyme reactions that occur in our bodies. The problem is that magnesium is one of the most difficult substances for the body to absorb. However, soaking in an epsom salt bath for 20-30 minutes a day has been shown to increase magnesium levels in the blood stream through transdermal osmosis.

After many failed attempts at trying prescription drugs to help my daughter’s ADHD I did the research above and discovered that epsom salt might work. It was worth a try. We tried a few varieties but found that pepsom sports a spearmint scented brand of epsom salt works best for her. The scent and warm bath are soothing and it helps to calm her down before bedtime. It is 100% natural, cheap (around $3) and works much better than the other more expensive avenues we tried in the past.
