sharp -“Oh, really? I don’t think so.”
And e/o should listen to your opinion as opposed to medical prof. because Why?
“I know someone that took their child to a doctor for an evaluation and got an RX for Ritalin because the Dr. diagnosed ADHD. The mother put the RX in her pocket and refused to fill it.
Instead, she took the child off sugar completely and in a matter of days, there was a significant change in behavior. She kept him off sugar and went to this Dr. for a follow-up. The Dr. said that the kid is doing great, and the medication must be working and told her to keep the kid at the same dose.
The mother then told the Dr. that she had in fact never filled the rx, but tried to keep him away from sugar first and when she saw that it’s actually working, there was no need for her to get the meds then.
The rest is history.”
Well thank you for this little story. All it proves is that your friend has an incompetent doctor. Is this Doc in the Frum community? It sheds no light on the disease called ADHD.
Yes, there is such a disorder called ADHD and it’s treated with meds and therapy amongst other modalities.
