Attend, Extress and Memorin Testimonials
My son is almost 12 years old. He has been using Attend and
Extress for over 3 years now. I can't express how happy I am with
these products.
He used to be Dexedrine. He lost a lot of weight, he had no
appetite, his teacher wanted me to take him off the drug as "he
looked like a zombie". The Dexedrine caused depression, so he was
prescribed an anti-depressant. This anti-depressant was not
recommended for children. The pharmacist asked me if I was sure I
wanted to give this to my child. I was at my wits end. The
psychiatrist said no, the anti-depressant was fine. Well it caused
more symptoms, so another anti-depressant was prescribed.
Well enough was enough. I asked the psychiatrist was non
prescription/non drug remedies. Diet, vitamins, exercise,
homeopathy, anything.
I was told "my way or the highway". I choose the highway.
With a naturopathic doctor, I weaned my son off the drugs. My son
was already taking Attends and Extress.
It took 18 months before he started gaining weight. So don't
believe the doctors that these cocaine-like drugs "flush out of
the system within 4 hours". If this is true, why can't you stop
taking the drugs cold-turkey? Why did it take 18 months before my
son started gaining weight?
My son will be 12 years old in August. He weighs 110 pounds and he
is 61 inches tall. He is happy, no depression any more, doesn't
look like a zombie, and doing OK in school. He wasn't do any
better in school when he was on Dexedrine.
He is a normal, exuberant boy with a zest for living. Twenty years
ago he would have been called a normal child. Today he is labeled
ADHD.
There are many things that you can do to help your child in today's
society:
a. Give them Attend and Extress.
Watch their diet. Too many chemicals in our food are increasing
ADHD symptoms. The really bad ones:
_
Sugar, don't believe that sugar intake is not an issue
_ Colour dyes. The biggies are Yellow, Red, and Blue. Toothpaste,
cough syrup, pills, kids cereals, sodas all have dyes to make them
better looking to children. You can get dye free toothpaste and
cough syrup now. Just be aware.
_ Chemicals. When purchasing anything, read the ingredients. If
you can't pronounce it, don't buy. These include: Chips, candies,
cereals, sodas, fast food, etc. Be vigilant. This is hard, I know.
I have been hearing about this forever: but my friends eat/drink
that, what can I eat then, etc. Be strong. Your child WILL NOT
thank you, but you will thank yourself.
b.
Remove from the diet all forms of refined sugar and any products
that contain it. Also eliminate all foods that contain artificial
colours, flavorings, or preservatives; processed and manufactured
foods; and foods that contain salicylates
c.
Do not use antacid tablets, cough drops, perfume, throat lozenges,
or commercial toothpaste. Use a natural toothpaste from a health
food store instead
Avoid carbonated beverages, which contain large amounts of
phosphates. Phosphate additives may be responsible for
hyperkinesis (exaggerated muscle activity), High levels of
phosphorus and very low calcium and magnesium levels (which can be
revealed through a hair analysis) can indicate a potential for
hyperactivity and seizures. Meat and fat also are high in
phosphorus.
d. Exercise. At least half an hour every day. This doesn't include
any exercise they get in school. Register them for a sport :
soccer, basketball, swimming, etc. This will get rid of the excess
energy they hoard.
e. Try Yoga Breathing exercises. There is a study being done in
one of the states. Yoga before school, yoga before class starts,
yoga to calm down students. This is working.
Read, Google, anything to keep up to date on various remedies,
studies being done, success stories. I found a study done over 4
years in one of the bigger school districts in New York. Every
year, this school district removed something some the school
vending machines and lunch food. Read One Million American School
Children Change Their Diets in http://www.spiritinaction.org/guide/learning.htm
f. Have your child tested for allergies. You might have to go to a
naturopathic doctor to get the ELIZA allergy test done. My son was
allergic to milk and wheat.
g. Do an elimination diet to see what foods trigger symptoms.
Through out the years, the one constant has been Jeannine, Attend,
Extress. There are no words to express my feelings about the
effect Attend and Extress has made in my son's and my families
life. The difference is like night and day. I hope the above will
help you and your family out.
