I have a 13 year old son who has always been "on the go"
and always been very defiant. Everything I read here sounds like bits & pieces of Alex. He's extremely intelligent and test sometimes 2 to 3 grades above his current grade. He has a violent temper. He thinks he's "the BOSS" when it comes to his siblings, the dogs, and even his s-father and myself. He always has poor grades and this last semester he failed 4 classes. I cannot trust him at home alone because he gets into everything, takes things apart plays with matches or lighter if he can find them (none in my house - but sometimes he brings them home from school). He has severe mood swings--I sometimes think he is Bipolar or Manic-Depressant even though they continue to tell me that its just ADHD. He is on Clonodine, Imiprimine and Zoloft just to keep him from getting his neck wrung at home and out of trouble at school. He is obnoxious & rude and is constantly making noises either with his mouth or by beating on something. He has only one friend that I know of and I'm not sure of that one friend. He gets beat up at school and is always being bullied. He goes through periods of depression "nobody likes me", "you hate me", etc. and I think I am going crazy just trying to deal with him. He's had pshycotic episodes when we tried ritalin and cylert. He seen thing and heard things that weren't there so we can't use those drugs, we tried herbal remedies and we even used the Feingold diet for over a year. The Feingold gave a few clues about some food allergies that made his conduct worse but no major improvement. I am going to order Neu-Becalm'd and see if it is the "GOD SEND"that your website's testimonials say it is. I've read everything published I think on ADHD.

I am taking a leap of faith in trying Neu-Becalm'd. You see, I am adopting a young boy that I have had in my care since he was five years old. He is now almost 10. He is bipolar and is what is know as a ultra-rapid cycler. He is also diagnosed PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and the list goes on. My home has been set on fire twice and my life threatened countless times. A car destroyed. My son has been in and out of mental institutions without any change in his life. He becomes very violent over the smallest incident at times and other times nothing can upset him.has a psychiatrist, psychologist and a therapist working with him. He sees one of them daily. psychologist have told me to seek help elsewhere because this situation was beyond their capabilities. Well, this "situation" is my son. Once I was told that it is very possible that my son has no conscience. I refuse to believe such. We have tried every drug out there and one doctor even said it would be best to keep him at a sedative state in order to keep everyone around him safe and to keep him safe from himself. I began doing research and being a layman in the field, would find more questions than answers. I began digging into amino acids, but could not find a way to get the proper mixture without giving my son a 100 pills a day. Thus, thinking my research was futile. Then I accidentally found your website. At this point, there aren't many options left to me. I just received my order today. My hope is that it will make some difference. My dream it that it will allow my son and I to have a life. What really stinks is that my son is exceptionally bright nd no one can see this but me and the doctors who administer the IQ tests and even they say he is much brighter than the scores show due to his mental condition. Just imagine what is locked up in that whirlwind of a mind!  Please continue to send information. Every ounce of reassurance helps.

I have a 13 year old son who has been on many of the current ADHD "Quick fix" drugs at one time or another. He is now on Adderall, where he has been barely surviving school and his life. (He has no social life because he can't keep friends very long because of his impulsitivity) He is a wonderful kid and I want him to have the chance to experience a normal life. One of the things I didn't see mentioned was the fact that ALL those drugs have side effects that include DEPRESSION... sometimes SEVERE. Unfortunately we didn't know this when we allowed the doctor to do all the switching of meds. My son suffered from severe depression for almost a year before we were finally able to force the doctor to diagnose him with depression. But, once that was done, what did they do??? They put him on an anti-depressant!! Now he is taking serzone after a bad run with Prozac and Elavil. So he takes the Adderall to combat the ADHD and then he takes the antidepressant to combat the Adderall. Seems to me like something is VERY WRONG here!!  I hate what these drugs have done to him. He struggles in school every day he is there and hates it so much. The teachers call me daily to share his "deficiencies" with me. (As if I am not aware of his struggles.)  We monitor his diet very closely and recently have wiened him off the Adderall and Serzone because my husband lost his job and we lost our insurance coverage. At 250.00 a month for prescriptions, without insurance we had to do something.  It was then that we decided to seek alternative answers. After reading the Matthew Smith story, I became scared to death for him. He has been on these drugs since he was 5. I MUST find an alternative.. insurance or not!!!!! While he is surviving at home now... once school starts, it will be a whole other story. I have done some research and am very interested in Neu-Becalm'd. The testamonials made me almost cry. I see my family in almost every one of those stories. I am eager to order your product.  Thank you for all the wonderful links to the ADHD pages and I will continue to pass your site along to other parents I know. God bless you for all you do!

I am writing this before I go to the phone to order. My daughter is six years old and she hasn't been diagnosed with ADHD but she definitely has behavior disorders Her actual diagnosis is ODD. She also has been being treated for anxiety and depression for over a year now. My beautiful daughter's troubles didn't start until she was three and my mother died and we lived in the home with my parents. My mother died in the home so my daughter saw me doing CPR and such and from that point on her behaviors escalated. Prior to that she was a stubborn but controllable child. I am at the point now of confusion as there is no reward or consequence that matters to her. She knows the consequences and can recite the proper behaviors to you, but seems incapable of performing them on a regular basis. Some days she can and others nothing will convince her to behave. I spent this last year being unable to work as I had to go so often  to school to pick her up I could not hold a job. I am desperate for something that will make a change before this new school year starts.

Need your opinion.... Hi there,  I have a 5 yr old little boy who has had developmental delays since 18 months of age. He recently was diagnosed with a mild to moderate form of ADHD. He was assessed at a 2 and a half year old mentality. His understanding is very low of what ever you ask him. Even his speech is very limited so his frustration level is quite high. I know as his parent that he has to many things going on in his mind to slow down and try to learn things that are going on around him. I am at my wits end. I want to help him with out putting him on chemical drugs, but I don't know what is available and safe for him. His father was ADD and a ridalin child for many years so we both agree that that is not the way we want to go. We have had to hold him back a year because he still can not understand what is expected of him in Kindergarten but this year we have no choice but to put him in school, and we still feel he is not ready.

I have twin boys 9yrs old, who have recently been diagnosed with adhd. We have tried 3 different medicines and none have helped, but some have made them worse and the others have made them emotional wrecks. I have stopped all medicines right now.  I would like some info about Neu-Becalm'd

JF - June 15, 2001    

Please register us for your drawing of a free bottle of Neu-Becalm'd. We are placing an order with great anticipation. We have two adopted children that are experiencing behavior problems. Dusty our 6 year old had a very trying time in Kindergarten with behavior problems. We asked for guidance from the school and they suggested analysis and Ritalin. We tried a new school with a structured behavior plan and it has helped some, but we are hoping that Neu-Becalm'd will aid in his behavior problem. The behavior problems described in your testimonials and the attention problems seem as if you are talking about our son. Our daughter is beginning to have some of the same problems with authority and with behavior at age 5. We are going to try both of them on Neu-Becalm'd

I am a mother of an 8 yr. old with ADHD.  He has been on RITALIN for 2 yrs. I am desperate to find an alternative to RITALIN. My biggest concern is that my son's biological father is a drug addict. I have to be realistic and be aware that my son may he proned to the same behavior as my x-husband and I feel RITALIN may have a negative impact on my little boy, who's had a rough start in his most important years, his childhood years.
I am very interested in any information that may help my son GET OFF RITALIN

BB - June 14, 2001

Please send us any and all information on ADD/ ADHD.
We have an 11 year old son that has this problem. We are trying to do what we can for him. Last year we enrolled him in Life Charter School in Dallas Texas. There behavoral discipline system consisted of tally's for unruelly behavior. After 3 Tally's you recieved a detention. After 7 detentions you were expelled. My son had six within the first six weeks of school. Not for pulling hair or for fighting, but for TALKING!!!  They finally ask about tranferring him to another school we did and he totally shut down He wouldn't do his home work, class work, participate in anything. He couldn't get his books, pencils and papers all there at one time. I met with the teachers and they said that he was definately ADHD. They wanted me to put him on Ritalin or something, and basically we decided to home school. He did great, he loves the one on one attention. The only real problem he has is in Math. For some reason it doesn't click with him. In the third grade the school told me that he should be put in the Oasis class which was for talented and gifted. He was in that for 3 years.I know that he is a very smart and talented child. Although his self esteem is low. He has a sister and she does not have this same problem. She has just completed the 8th grade and maintained the A/B honor roll.  He feels that she is perfect and is getting all the recognition for getting good grades, staying in school etc. She recieved her report card in the mail today and decided she would make him one. I graded him the way I thought he deserved and he was so happy that he got some recognition that he cried and gave his sister the biggest hug ever. We are going to keep searching for the answer to this problem We are determined and we are on a mission. Anything you can send about this, we will be greatfull for. Thank you so much for your time and effort in this matter!!!

My daughter has been on 17 different meds in the past 4 years. I'm so desprite to find a happy medium in our house hold. I just started her on Neu-Becalm'd about 2 weeks ago. She has went to bed and to sleep with no problems every night. This is a blessing. Thank you for your product... I hope that I will soon be able to take Neu-Becalm'd, instead of my antidepressant.

My son and three nephews have adhd. I have been treating my son with natural vitamins, diet, and structured home environment. My nephews are being treated with Ritalin. I try not to judge, but I strongly dissagree with the practice of druging a child for personal gain. Perhaps you could provide me with some non-judgmental referances to share with my family.

Hi, My name is Rebecca.  I am 18 years old and have suffered from ADHD ever since I was in elementary school. Well, my parents think I do not need Adderall anymore, but I have to have it.  Especially since, I'm taking a college classes this summer and I have to stay focused. I found your web-site and wondered what I should do. Thank you for your time.

My fifteen year old son has been having alot of problemsfor several years and we have tried all kinds of medications with no success. He is a good boy but he is terrible to wake up in the morning and gets in trouble in school for not being able to sit still and doing little annoying things. I quit my full time job because of all his trouble at school and the constant phone calls and meetings. He will be going into tenth grade next year but I can't see him making it to graduation without some help. If this will help him and are family that would be wonderful
