Finally Focused, Revised Edition - by James Greenblatt & Bill Gottlieb (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Now revised and updated, discover the ADHD solution for your child with this holistic, evidence-based, and customizable approach to alleviating unwanted symptoms without relying on medication.

In his many years of practice, Dr. James Greenblatt has seen the positive effects of personalized treatment, rather than simply prescribing medication for typical ADHD symptoms. ADHD is a medical condition, not a discipline problem--and Finally Focused, Revised Edition addresses each individual's unique pattern of biological factors to get at the root of the issue.

Dr. Greenblatt details natural methods used to treat problems such as nutritional deficiencies of magnesium or zinc, dysbiosis (a microbial imbalance inside the body), sleeping difficulties, and food allergies, all of which, unbeknownst to many, can cause or exacerbate the symptoms of ADHD. By exploring each of these possibilities in Dr. Greenblatt's Plus-Minus Healing Plan, parents will finally be able to finally get the assistance they need in providing true wellness for their children, whether or not they're already on medication, and adults with ADHD will find new avenues of treatment.

This fully revised and expanded edition includes a new section on adult ADHD and how to use natural methods to control other health conditions that often accompany adult ADHD; new material on genetic testing, herbs, medication; and the latest research on natural remedies, along with updated success stories from patients.
