Do you worry about possible side effects?

There have been neumerous studies published regarding the negative side effects associated with long term use of medications prescribed to treat symptoms of ADHD.  Stunted growth, suicidal thoughts, increased risk of drug abuse.  Even sudden death. 

Instead of blood tests and a thourough medical evaluation, parents of children seeing a medical doctor for ADHD have a conversation about the school's checklist, and leave a few minutes later with a prescription for a powerful psychotropic drug for their young child. 
-Did the doctor check for a thyroid disorder?
-Did the doctor test for heavy metal toxicity? 
-Did the doctor even mention nutrition or possible food sensitivities? 

Whole Child Wellness is named as such because we examine the whole child, and determine the causes of their symptoms, then treat their condition naturally.  We must warn you, however, there are some pretty powerful side effects.
