Curious as to how much of these therapies your health insurance covers?

And would you pursue only natural/alternative treatments for yourself if, God forbid, you developed cancer or other serious illness (for example, Steve Jobs apparently tried a juice/supplements diet for 9 months when diagnosed with his cancer)?

I don't have the time to dig, but I disagree with previous posters that the studies about ADHD meds are incomplete.  As with many other parents, I don't think medication is a cure-all (and we do some vitamins/supplements as well).  ADHD is a neurological condition.  It responds in many cases to medication.  It also requires other interventions because it rarely exists on its own.  Most kids with ADHD have coexisting conditions (such as anxiety) and often have learning disabilities as well.  Between school, how we structure our home life, and medication, DS is doing pretty well.

Health insurance doesn't cover a dime of it.  I didn't expect it to either.  But after reading how much money people put into private ST, OP, PT, etc, I feel pretty good about how I spent my money.

If I ever developed cancer, I would only pursue natural/alternative methods.  I'd never do chemo or radiation.  Once you've submersed yourself in the alternative community, you realize that there are soooo many success stories regarding people who the medical community had only given a few weeks to live.  There are many ways to cure cancer and disease that the medical community will never allow into the public awareness with ease.  They can't eliminate freedom of speech, so you can find the information if you look for it.  But, you wont find it in U.S. Weekly, Southern Living Magazine, or on the evening news.  [/quote]
