Children with depression or ADHD/ADD

[bearpolar]

Hey guys i just wanted to share this in case some of you are not too close minded.

Lots of kids nowadays get drugged for depression or learning disabilities. One of my kid has been suffering from depression set in not long after moving back to Thailand.. He stopped hanging out with friends at school, he started not wanting anything. He wouldnt bring his homework home and he would not mind being offered to sit in a corner for the rest of the night, everyday(i obviously did not do it). Complete Apathy. disinterest for all the food he loves. He already had a few learning disabilities, most of it comes from ADD and dyslexia.

So he went through what a lot of drugged children have. I myself have suffered from massive depression and panick attack a few years ago and after my first bite of SSRI's i decided i would look for something not as disgusting at it is.

I found 5HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan, also known as oxitriptan, is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan.)

There's a few university studies, all show that its just as good as SSRI,s with 0 side effect and more upsides. I researched that the same day i took the first pill and wanted to die physically. Spent 12hrs looking at every source that was from universities, calling contacts that are in the medical field and reading testimonies on sites that did not sell any product.

I ran to the store before it closed, bought it and 7 days later i was cured from 10+ daily panick attacks and depression.

After seeing my son suffering in school (behind, hating homeworks, feeling humiliated as he's way better at almost everything he does than his friends, except school) and now having a real depression on top, i decided to give him a low dosage. 50mg once per day in the morning so he is not even getting the benefits that happen with night time consumption(better sleep)

10days later~ he was happy again, i decided not to tell anyone. 14 days after i asked the teachers if something changed as he was not bringing homeworks anymore but he was bringing "best of the class for the week" awards. They told me h e was an entirely different person. He started playing with everyone, he was confident enough to make jokes out loud, he wasnt just following people but he was leading them often. He was walking up to the teacher to ask school work questions(he has never done that even when he was happy) his speech issues are completely gone hes using advanced words now. He's learned his multiplication table by himself(they dont do it in school, its suposed to be an homework yet he's never done them at home) while a few weeks ago i could barely get him to do simple additions even when i'd give him 95% of the answer. He's learned the whole thai alphabet and he can read thai decently for how long hes been working at it. Hes finaly learning english. His home attitude is also a lot better, a lot less angry meltdowns when i say no as he's finaly able to listen to my explaination.

Sorry for the wall of text, but i urge you if you have children in trouble (or know some) and love them. Consider 5HTP. I try to educate people on this natural supplement that is better than the big pharma's offering but most of the time i get shot down by people who enjoy losing libido and having medical issues.

Im uncertain if its sold here but i have had mine shipped from an online supplement stores many times.

edit: forgot to say, now hes been taking them for little over 4weeks~ everyday is better than the day before.

I don't agree with the post. It seems like you've projected your own mental states onto your child. All children go through ups and downs, its part of their development, especially after they've had something like a location change. Just need to support them and help them and be patient, no need to offer 'medically proven' alternatives that you claim worked for you. At least get a professional 2nd opinion before making such decisions... .

So ADD is a symptom of location change when there is no location change? My son had been seen by many professionals for 2 years before that about his school and speech issues, is that not a professional opinion?

He had already lived in Thailand before, this location change was not life changing.

So no i do not need an extra doctor paid off by uneducated drug pushers to destroy the hormonal system of my son with SSRI's or ritalin(basically amphetamines)

Say what you want, my child went from last of his class(and they are with a lower level, so he was behind younger kids) to one of the top in a month, his life improved immensely for him as well and he has no weird feeling that you get when a doctor drugs you with those hard medecines. Same feels as if i had given him a vitamin c tablet.

I sincerely doubt the intelligence of anyone who is against a natural supplement that boosts serotonin without any side effect and would rather have the world drugged, feeling inhuman for the same effect while adding tons of highly disturbing side effect.

It's not like curing cancer or pneumonia with natural oil, it's natural medicine for a chemical imbalance, not a break in dna or a virus. People take it after using MDMA's. It cures the immense next day low's.

I say it again, most doctors have no time to research anything as they are too busy getting money from pharma pushers, those that are interested are very happy to hear about this medicine, back home i showed it to a few and they are starting to offer it as an alternative to those that are happy not suffering while fixing their problems.

the sad part is that MD's don't get kickbacks for prescribing something natural to aid serotonin production and rather prefere to prescribe a SSRI which means, big bucks for the hospital, the doctor & returning customers as you have to come back every (few) month(s) for a refill.... if you read the package insert for ZOLOFT : you will find something like : we do not know how it works, but we believe to think it works by increasing serotonin levels ... well, 80 percent of serotonin is not in the brain but in the gut ... unhealthy gut (too much sugar, pesticides residue, bacterial overgrowth) = not enough serotonin available, also with wrong diets as you need protein as a precursor to your neurotransmitter production. There are no precursor foods in for example : cereals, donuts, (cheap) white industrial bread, ...
