[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because there are other options doctors refuse to try first.

I also refused to take medication for an issue I was having, did the research and changed my diet and my 2 year medical condition was resolved. I talked to the doctor about it and he said, "Most people are not that disciplined so I don't suggest it."

How about this ... suggest it, and let the patient decide.

Also, my son has a 3.3 GPA, he is happy, he is healthy, he is on 2 Varsity sports (as a Freshman) and volunteers with the Special Olympics. Why would I give him drugs?[/quote]

Because think of how much better he would be if be weren't limited by his condition. If your son was missing a leg, would you let him crawl around without crutches and then ask why should you give him crutches?[/quote]

If your son is missing a leg, why would you give him a drug that lets him pretend that his leg is just fine while ruining the rest of his health, instead of getting him the external supports that he needs to manage his condition?[/quote]

??  I wouldn't do that.  I'd give him a drug that makes his leg just fine as well as get the external supports he needs, which is exactly the same as what I do from my ADHD kid.[/quote]
