I can understand how someone might wrongly be labeled ADD/ADHD. Sometimes that has to do with psychological factors such as a poor fit between the child and his school environment. Changing teachers or schools can help. Sometimes the ADD/ADHD symptoms are actually caused by “allergic” reactions to things in the environment or diet such as chemical fumes or food additives. The American Academy of Pediatrics finally acknowledged that there is a link between hyperactivity and what kids eat. This is something so many parents already knew/suspected but doctors would not believe.

There’s a great book out by Dr. Kenneth Bock called Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma and Allergies.

Notice that the title includes ADHD, asthma, and allergies along with autism. All of these are actually linked together because they have similar root causes: genetic predisposition triggered by environmental insults such as our poor diet and an overload of toxins.

Ever notice that more kids these days have asthma and allergies too? Check it out. Open your eyes. Our kids really are sicker today than they were in the past. And it’s not because of poor upbringing or the medical community mislabeling our kids. This is real.

I’m offended that apparently my sleepless nights for both of my children have no weight on you for being neccessary! Yeah, who cares if by daughters wheezing is so loud that I sit up all night comtemplating when her inhaler just isn’t enough, and I need to take her to the ER. The fact that when her asthma hits her so fast she can’t even say, “Mommy, I need my medicine” in less than three breaths. But that doesn’t matter to you.. she is just faking it! I’m just curious, since you seem to be so confident on your knowledge about childrens behavior, does an eleven month old infant have the brain capasity to fake having trouble breathing?? Cause that was how old she was when we brought her to the ER for the first time! And what about my son! Since you know so much, why don’t you stop by and talk some sense into him!! I’m sure that is all he needs! The fact that he didnt make eye contact as an infant, didn’t start making babbling noises until recently (he just turned 3 yrs old in March), clearly did not understand verbal commands or retain an alternative method of communicating like sign language, would stare off in space for any length of time sometimes laughing for no reason known to us- all of these things are just him being a brat, RIGHT!

I’ll be sure to tell my husband to have a talk with him, and to call him an idiot in the process! Yeah, that is how loving parents deal with “brattish behavior”defined by Michael Savage.

All I have to say is maybe you should pick up a book to read on the subject before you make such an a$$ of yourself again! And because you pissed me off from talking about a very sensitive subject matter for me, I hope the statements you made come back to bite you in the a$$ someday!!

But a lot of spoilt brats are just that
