| ATTEND Homeopathic ADHD Alternative Medicine |
 |
|
Attend is an excellent alternative treatment for
ADHD , and is the most advanced "natural alternative
ADHD remedy" available today.
It is a powerful, all-natural treatment choice that is
Clinically Tested with computerized testing, in addition
to parent reports. Attend is one of the most popular
alternative choices to ADHD medications such as
Ritalin, Strattera, Concerta, Dexedrine, Adderall, or
other medications for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder. As some evidence mounts that stimulants
may not be as safe as once thought, many parents
are looking for an alternative that works.
Try Attend first!
In 1996 VAXA's Neuro-Scientists developed Attend
using cutting edge research with amino acid
combinations, Essential Fatty Acids and Lipid
complexes, homeopathic medicines, and precursors
to specific neurotransmitters.
This combination of neural building materials gives
the brain what it needs to optimize performance in
filtering out noise from the "outside world," and noise
from "the inside world," to focus better on the task at
hand. Attend helps children and adults who have
problems with attention, learning, or impulse control!

| Storm in a Western Pill - Fear and Empowerment in ADHD Drug Treatment |
 |
|
Our guest author is Shane Wong. Mr. Wong is the
Editor-in-Chief for Juxtaposition Global Health
Magazine, a student-run publication based at the
University of Toronto. According to the author: "This
article will explore how ADHD medication can
empower diagnosed patients, and why fears towards
such drugs and the pharmaceutical industry persist
across North America."
"Ritalin, Ritalin, seizure drugs, Ritalin." Such is the
lunchtime rhyme for a typical school nurse in the U.S.
as she trots from class to class, dispensing pills into
outstretched hands of young children (01/18/99 - New
York Times).
Welcome to the uniquely North American psychotropic
environment. A continent featuring a prescription drug
market for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) worth over 2-billionUS annually, and where
the number of prescriptions have grown four-fold in 20
years and over 90% of prescriptions worldwide
originate.
But when patients as young as two-years-old are
prescribed drugs that a government puts in the same
category as morphine and cocaine, controversy
concerning the use of drug treatment for ADHD is
bound to arise. This article will explore how ADHD
medication can empower diagnosed patients, and
why fears towards such drugs and the pharmaceutical
industry persist across North America.

| 6 Ways to Communicate Clearly With Your Teen |
 |
|
By Guest Author: Christine McGogy
How would you like to have a closer
relationship with your teen again? Your
ability to communicate effectively with your
teen is one of the most precious skills you
can develop to achieve this goal.
When we think of communication, we tend to
think only of the way we can express
ourselves. This is certainly important, but
listening is the single most crucial of all
communication skills.
As a mother of two teenage boys I know that
it isn't always easy to communicate well with
your teen. It's particularly frustrating when
they aren't talking to you. However, when I
started applying these techniques to our
lives, I found that we started getting along
better almost immediately. There was less
arguing between us, and our relationship
became stronger.
1. Focus, and Give your teen your full attention.
I know that this is a toughie, because we
tend to be so busy. It seems like we are
always multi-tasking. However, it is
important in clear communicating that you
make a point of stopping what you are doing
and really listen to your teen (rather than
just hearing them). When you give your teen
your undivided attention they will know that
you care, because you took the time to
listen, and it will increase the chances that
they will listen to you.
