A friend's son has been diagnosed with ADHD by this doctor. So far they have been happy with the care they have been getting. However, they now want a second opinion. Can anyone recommend any other doctors? Has anyone had any luck with tackling ADHD without medication? The medication he is on is making him very tired and his appetite has dropped. Please share your experiences. They have asked me for help, I said I will find out as I didn't have any advice to offer!

Thanks

Darling it is not for my son. It is for a collegue's son. They are new to Dubai and this is the last thing they need. It has caused a lot of problems at school for the LO, and they are happy to control it with the medicine. But the side effects are being to outweigh the good its doing:( Oh sorry I didn’t see it was your friend xx

Attention deficit is only part of my son's diagnosis, but this area is the one which has been most improved by diet and supplements. I would be more than happy to chat to your friend and share my experiences by e-mail if she would like. Best wishes Sian khoury at null dot net

There are successful programmes for treatment without drugs and I have heard of people in Dubai taking on case studies and practitioning HET. Sadly the solution all too often is to stick the kid on drugs rather than work alternative options. http://www.HETwebsite.com/
