[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate your post, 9:33 and am glad you've had success on your journey.  However, most of the treatments you cite have their own side effects, are cost prohibitive because they're not covered by insurance and there isn't conclusive scientific evidence that they are effective.  I also don't think they're appropriate for my ADHD (primarily inattentive) DS.  My DS doesn't have significant behavioral issues.  He's classic ADHD in that he can attend very well to things he's interested in but not on thing that not of interest or that require sustained mental effort. He also has anxiety.  From my own research, I don't believe alternative medicine is an appropriate choice for him and I think pursuing some of these treatments would exacerbate his challenges.  I'm not discounting them, certainly you believe they have helped your DS and they may benefit other kids with ADHD.  I have just come to a conclusion different than yours.

Can I ask if you were to suffer from depression would you avoid medication?[/quote]
