You are allowed to be on your soapbox. It's your forum
I remember when there was a lot of talk about Omega 3 being really good for ADHD. My naturopath felt she could treat my son with things like Dhea or whatever, and get him off dexamphetamine and catapres - but there's the economic side. It makes it hard. Because I was receiving "child disability allowance" I could get my son's meds cheap - like $5.00 per prescription. It would have cost a fortune buying remedies from my naturopath -as good as she is - so we just couldn't consider it. Besides, I was doing IVF at the time and there is only so much a person can cope with. The meds were WORKING! That's all I needed to know. (I still believed in psychotropics at that stage.)
With autism - I got over looking for remedies a long time ago. He was diagnosed at 4; he is now 23. I've done a lot of research over the years and I'm done with it. It is what it is. Meh. As long as he - and therefore us - have quality of life - that is what is most important. Our concern now is what will happen when we are no longer here. *sigh* So much to think about. Stuff I don't really want to think about really. I just want it all to go away. Hmm.. maybe I should take another a/d and just stay "happy" - LOL only kidding!
