Hyperactivity and ADHD: Why Ritalin Is Not the Solution. Many hyperactive children are treated with Ritalin, a problematic medication that can cause lasting health damage. Barbara Simonsohn presents alarming results from studies critical of Ritalin. As an alternative, she explains a holistic healing concept. This informative guide helps to naturally improve the quality of life for hyperactive children and their families.

The first part of this book addresses the topic of Attention Deficit Syndrome with and without hyperactivity, as well as the increasing prescription practices of Ritalin and their associated problems. In the second part, I describe the influence of diet on ADHD symptoms. In the third part, I outline additional successful strategies to help children with ADHD.
