Conventional treatment with drugs

Fact

Attention deficit symptoms often persist into adulthood

Traditionally many drugs are used to control ADHD symptoms, which include Ritalin, Cylert, Dexedrine among others. In some cases anti depressants or clonidine may be used instead. However, the down side of the stimulant therapy is significant, it is not curative, the effects last for only a few hours, and treats only some of the symptoms. 20-25% of the children with the presumed ADHD are non-responders. Though patients with ADHD suffer from some common symptoms, each patient has a unique set of symptoms that differs from those of other patients. Traditional medical therapy appears to be a superficial treatment since it only suppresses these symptoms without really treating the root of the problem. Drugs may need to be taken for life. The side effects for these drugs could also be very significant, that includes appetite and weight loss, anxiety, insomnia, and tics among others.

Homeopathy & Auricular Medicine

Luckily there are complementary therapies that are used with the intention to influence the basic disturbance causing the symptoms rather than suppress the symptoms alone. Many complementary therapies are safe, simple, and have no side effects or complications as with conventional medications. Above all these complementary therapies seem to be needed only for few months.

The unique and exclusive treatment for Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity that this center offers is divided into two parts:

Auricular Medicine

Sadly

20-25% of presumed ADHD children do not respond to drug therapy

Auricular medicine is a highly advanced and complex form of ear acupuncture. This is a unique seperate system of acupuncture that deals with the energetic disturbances of our organs rather than those of the meridians as it is the case in general body acupuncture. As a result, the practitioner can look for and identify the exact acupuncture points on the ear that relate to the disturbed parts of the brain that may be involved in causing the symptoms of ADD or ADHD. The involved ear points could be stimulated using many forms of stimulation including ear massage, needles or painless micro-electrical stimulation. This stimulation is believed to bring stability to the energetic status of the involved parts of the brain. In the 1950’s a French physician discovered after years of research that all our systems and organs are projected on our ears. He found t hat the body is represented on the ear in the form of an inverted fetus in the womb. For thousands of years many cultures treated certain diseases through the ear, however, it is only recently that we had full understanding to the extent of benefits we can achieve. Auricular Medicine is the tool that enables us to use the ear for providing information that is used in conjunction with the symptoms and various investigations to help with understanding the different ailments of our systems. This method, which is safe and painless, will allow physicians to pinpoint areas on the ear that represent troubled organs in the body, organs that contribute to the patient’s problems. In ADHD cases many parts of the nervous system do not appear to be fully operational, this dysfunction presumably causes ADHD symptoms. These points will be treated mainly through a painless micro-current electrical stimulation. By repeating this procedure and combining it with other treatment modalities, impressive improvement is expected in most cases in a period of time that varies “according to the complexity of the problem“ from 1-12 months.

Hope

Improvement with complementary medicine may be experienced within few months

Homeopathic Remedies

Homeopathic remedies are prepared by repeated dilution of natural substances that are of plants, minerals or animal origin. All of which are prepared according to the United States Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. Homeopathic remedies are known for their safety and lack of toxicity and / or side effects. By studying the unique symptoms of the patient the homeopathic practitioner would be able to prescribe the most suitable homeopathic remedies. Again, because the homeopathic consultation looks at the uniqueness of the patient's symptoms patients with ADD/ADHD may recieve different homeopathic remedies. These remedies are believed to stimulate the innate defensive mechanism of the body, which may help bring stabilization to the brain's functions.
