Yes, I could go on QUITE a while about how I feel about how ADD is treated and about "no child left behind". Prescription drugs are SCARY now at the numbers they are being handed out. I hope it becomes more common place for people do tons of research BEFORE starting any or starting their kids on ANY long term prescriptions and find out what ALL their options are... Thanks again for your personal story and comment! Gratefully, Jenny Hey Mike,

I'm an ADD person, and could I tell a tale or two.<br/><br/>You see, ADD, now more than ever, doesn't fit into the program that schools and society has for our children. Freedom of thought and expression has little place; instead our kids are crammed full of information and taught to regurgitate it on some standardized test thanks to the "no child left behind" act.<br/><br/>No wonder we need to medicate so many kids to get them to fit into the square hole!<br/><br/>It was ADD medication that gave me seizures which cost my my career in law enforcement. I will never ever put a child on this stuff. It's equivalent to making a child sit in a corner all day, what it does to a creative mind! It should be criminal.<br/><br/>I'll give you, and any parents out there a key to overcoming ADD, its the power of habits. Wonderful!

Thank you for recognizing ADD as a gift. I’m an ADD person, and could I tell a tale or two.

You see, ADD, now more than ever, doesn’t fit into the program that schools and society has for our children. Freedom of thought and expression has little place; instead our kids are crammed full of information and taught to regurgitate it on some standardized test thanks to the “no child left behind” act.

No wonder we need to medicate so many kids to get them to fit into the square hole!

It was ADD medication that gave me seizures which cost my my career in law enforcement. I will never ever put a child on this stuff. It’s equivalent to making a child sit in a corner all day, what it does to a creative mind! It should be criminal.

I’ll give you, and any parents out there a key to overcoming ADD, its the power of habits.

I agree - a HUGE problem and I hope things start to change with treatment options SOONER rather than later. I don't even want to think about what happens when all these kids that have been on these drugs start suffering from the side-effects of long term use. Just gotta hope with the natural wellness awareness growing -- there will be a shift in the treatment of this "condition". Thanks again! Jenny Thanks Todd, I really appreciate you leaving a comment.

When you know something "works" for you (like your friend) sometimes it is hard to be motivated to try something else. In that way I had it easy -- my pain meds weren't working, made me feel pain even worse when they wore off, and I had always had a phobia of dependence -- which made me seek out LoA and alternative methods.... Anyone going off long term medications would need the help and support of a good doctor who also studies complimentary medicine... I hope in time more doctors will and will encourage patients to explore other options....<br/>Thanks again, Jenny Neil, Thanks for the comment and the DIGG.
