New thread...for Zmyst concerns re: ADHD
son. Remedies vs or including other forms of intervention.
(If anyone can tell me how to transfer my post on this subject from another thread...I would appreciate it. Can it be done?)

Thanks,
Zmyst

Dear Zmyst - I see you did it!! Yeah!

No, I for one didn't have an Epidural. I did receive a total of 3 shots of Demerol too early in labor so that labor stopped for a while. Then I wasn't allowed to have any more for the rest of labor and delivery.
Actually my son was a delight untill about 20 months old. I'm not talking the typical terrible two's. Something else happened to change him so much. I am questioning Vaccinations along with some emotional abandonment. (I was/am a confirmed codependent...and became too involved in a new relationship and neglected my son emotionally. )
For the last year or more we've been trying remedies...so far not much luck...a few changes. I am at the point right now, because of his age (almost 16) of sending him to an Outdoor program out of state for some character development. VERY VERY difficult decisions here. I love him so much but am not strong enough to give him 24/7 what he really needs at this time and that's a totally NEW start. Hope to rebuild the relationship we once had.
Homeopathically speaking, I beleive there is a remedy that will really help...we have yet to try what GM has suggested, but even so...Knowing that we are all spiritual, emotional AND physical persons with long histories...I don't think that Homeopathy alone will help correct old and long standing habits. If I have read peices of the Organon correctly, other things need to change as well. It's not just the remedy.
Is this correct? Feed back appreciated. I certainly am in need of support at this time.
love ya'll

Thanks Lisa
I did it! Took awhile...computer illiterate as I am!

Dear ZMYST, Hi, Dont feel guilty if you think he was emotionally neglected.Out of my 4 kids my 10yr. daughter has "ADHD" among other diagnosis, she also was a quiet content baby until walking then LOOK OUT! But luckily I didnt have to work so I was with them all continually and they never had any sitters, they went with me everywhere, anyway I always wonder am I nurturing enough, I always seem so busy with housework and trying to give each one enough attention as they fight continually, but it is definately a physical problem. She also will be following GMs script when it comes. Keep up your good work, LindaM.

Zymyst You will be amazed at what depths homoeopathy can reach. The remedies are raised to a higher power than material substance. Since they affect the mind, not just the body, and all the distinctions between parts of our being are artificial anyway, it is possible for homoeopathy to cure at a very deep level.
What The Organon tells is that if there are maintaining causes of disease, (eg a while ago someone posted about her terrible working conditions which were making everyone in the office ill,) then these maintaining causes need to be eradicated as well as administering the remedy.
But you don't need to believe that the remedies will work to make it happen, so just sit back and enjoy the results!

Oh, I do believe, although you wouldn't think so with the "no-luck so far" we've been having. However, how could it help with habits of a character nature? Doesn't he have to want to stop the behaviors too?
I am sure he delights in his dependencies. Too easy to rely on mom. Likes his BEE phobia. etc....
Sort of like being in-between a more adapatable, moldable younger child and being an adult who can see things from a different perspective and WANTS to change. There he is...stuck in the middle of two possibilities.
Heck if we could change others preferences just by slipping them a homeopathic remedy, I'd like to know what to slip my brother when he isn't looking.
Along with a few other people in my life...
If I am missing your point, please explain further.
Thanks
Zmyst
PS: GM had suggested Nat MUR. for my son. Any comments. Should I still try to give, even if I send him to the camp or not? Worry about aggravations etc. if he were to leave in about two-three weeks.

ZMYST & CFF7, I have a friend whose child was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and recieved tremendous help through going on a gluten,dairy free diet. Also she began giving her a vitamin drink called Reliv. It took about 3 months but it's like a different kid. There are web sites about the Reliv product you can check out. Also Her daughter started exhibiting symptoms at about 17 mo. not long after she recieved the MMR vaccine. I find this curious because there is new finding to suggest the vaccine may cause autism. Something about the breakdown of the intestinal lining and certain protiens? leaking that in some people react in the brain like opium. Perhaps there is a connection?

This is the beauty of Homeopathy, Zmyst! Like Anna said, it works whether you beiieve or not!

More to the point, though: Homeopathy works on the WHOLE person - mental, emotional and physical - so, while some characteristics are indeed the signature of a person - there can also be imbalances (anything excessive like anger, extreme shyness - that sort of thing).

Think of it as a 'dent' in ones spirit - or soul - or energy source (whatever you need to call it!) - and the remedies are matched to whatever symptoms a person is having. Remember - looking at the threads, you'll have noticed not only physical symptoms - but emotional and mental symptoms noted as well as likes, dislikes, cravings, etc.

So, when a remedy is closely matched with ALL the symptoms a person is having - it will stimulate the body to heal - bring things back into balance - ON ALL LEVELS.

Hope this makes sense to you, and sheds a bit of light .
