Recommendations for something to calm a child down who is beyond hyper.?
My Sister is 8, and has been on medications for ADD/ADHD, Bipolar/Schizophrenia but had healthy challenges with them. We are looking for a more natural approach and could use some help. The school called today and made us come get her because they could not handle her. We have tried calm child, focus factor, and many others… any other suggestions?

Omega-3 fatty acids are proven to help. Some use fish oil but due to contamination I prefer flax seed oil, in the capsules.
Some behavioral methods to try may be found through http://www.paxis.org/content/SimpleGifts.aspx.

I have heard of this technique called Upper Cervical helping kids with these issues.
It is a technique within Chiropractic it seems.
Have you tried eliminating products with flavorings and preservatives from her diet?? that will have a dramatic impact on anybodys eating plan …….. give her more fresh fruits and green and salad vegies ….. and get her to a food / chemical allergist and get her food and chemical panel tested…. the impact that food and or chemical intolerances can and do have can manifest with symptoms that mimic nearly every single known dis ease.

Take her to a professional Homeopath. It’s safe, gentle, effective and far better than toxic drugs that don’t work.
