Thanks to Suzanne Somers, natural hormone replacement is gaining acceptance by women. Because natural hormones – estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — are not patentable, the pharmaceutical industry is not happy. When women switch from synthetic to natural hormones, pharmaceutical industry profits are threatened.
Board certified internist Dr. Michael E. Platt, M.D.is not happy about Suzanne’s promotion of natural estrogen for another reason. Dr. Platt says estrogen, natural or synthetic, causes six kinds of cancer, and has statistics to back it up.
Author of an extraordinary new book, “The Miracle of Bioidentical Hormones”, Dr. Platt treats causes of illness while conventional, pharmaceutical industry-driven medicine treats symptoms.
He believes it’s proper to prescribe natural estrogen for severe menopause symptoms. Other than that, estrogen replacement is not necessary. After menopause, the body continues to produce estrogen.
But “The Miracle of Bioidentical Hormones” is about more than just estrogen. Dr. Platt’s favorite (and safest) hormone for men, women and children (yes, men and children) is natural progesterone. It’s an amazing hormone, which traditionally trained physicians seem to know little about because they have been trained to use synthetic hormone replacement.
For years, doctors have prescribed synthetic progesterone and synthetic estrogen derived from horses’ urine and now we are living with an epidemic of breast and other cancers.
Using actual patient histories, Dr. Platt explains how he treats common health issues such as PMS, fibromyalgia, ADD in children and adults, morbid obesity and more – with natural hormones and specially formulated dietary supplements.
Some of Dr. Platt’s solutions to common problems are not traditional, but they work. For example, if a woman has urinary incontinence he prescribes testosterone and an exercise regimen. He says the problem will clear up in one week if the patient follows his directions. And who would think that progesterone could cure a migraine headache? But Dr. Platt makes it happen. His success in treating ADD in children and adults with progesterone is amazing.
Traditional incontinence treatment utilizes drugs that don’t cure – they only alleviate symptoms. And they are a lot more costly and side-effect ridden than Dr. Platt’s solution. Traditional treatment of migraine headaches means using potent drugs with nasty side effects, and they don’t always work. Children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD are dosed with potent drugs that are mind and personality numbing.
Many people seek Dr. Platt’s advice as a last resort – conventional medicine hasn’t helped them. As you read his case histories, and see how he has helped “hopeless” cases, you get the sense that something is seriously lacking with our traditional health care system.
The Miracle of Bioidentical Hormones is a highly readable, informative, eye-opening book. Read it if you are open to untraditional solutions to some difficult health problems. You will be glad you did.

We have taken our 10 yr old son to 4 different psych docs and EVERY single one was more interested in writing a prescription for an adult size dose of Prozac and getting us out the door quickly rather than actually talking to our son and figuring out what diagnosis is correct and what would be the best treatment for him!
Jeff Crisco in Mukwanago is awesome. He specializes in Autism but also works with kids with ADD/ADHD. Or you could try Cornerstone Counseling in Brookfield, they have all sorts of specialists. http://www.cornerstonecounseling.com/locations-staff/brookfield.htm.
A psychologist may be a better choice over a psychiatrist. That’s the way it works these days… the psychologist does the work and the psychiatrist just writes the scripts. Cornerstone has counselors of all types and 3 psychiatrists that mostly prescribe based on the diagnosis of the psychologists.

http://www.reefer.cc When amphetamines are excepted over a plant for treating children, you have to be concerned. The lack of testing by the USA scientific community is not a reason to keep this beneficial ADD/ADHD treatment from the American people and the rest of the world. If children using marijuana as medicine bothers you, you are nothing less than uninformed. Marijuana is a safe and EFFECTIVE treatment for 100’s of conditions and that can be proven, Show me one case in the history of man where the toxicity of THC brought harm to someone and I will change my view and adopt yours.

There sure are alot of myths about ADHD, especially when it come to ADHD adults. Here are some of the most common myths and the truth about them:
Myth #1: It is not possible to accurately diagnose ADD and ADHD in adults. While it is true that there is no single test that will diagnose this disorder, there are very clear and formal documented symptoms in the DSM-IV. These documented symptoms, listed by the American Psychiatric Association, have been researched, studied and evaluated. With this reliable source and other cross-references, current methods of diagnosing ADHD are very accurate.
Myth #2: Children outgrow ADHD. This myth is totally inaccurate and untrue. It has been found in a number of studies that ADHD is a neurobiological disorder that has to do with brain wiring. Although symptoms may not appear to be as severe in adulthood, ADHD is clearly a life-long disorder. This has been shown through several follow-up studies of persons suffering from ADHD. Moreover, it is important to realize that if ADHD is not diagnosed, it causes other emotional and psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety.
Myth #3: If you are a bright or intelligent person, you cannot have ADHD. This is totally untrue. In fact, individuals with ADHD tend to be higher in intelligence than much of the average public. ADHD has nothing to do with intelligence; it is a disorder involving the regulation of attention, and affects how well you can sit there and get things done, or how well you can listen to your boss or teacher. ADHD has nothing to do with how bright you are – Albert Einstein is thought to have had ADD!
Myth #4: You do not have ADHD because it was not apparent in your childhood. Unless you were the child bouncing off the walls during classes, it is highly probable that even if you do suffer from ADHD, this went unnoticed at school. Adults with ADHD without hyperactivity are prime suspects for not appearing to have ADHD. Many people with inattentive ADHD internalize their symptoms. Often, people do not associate this with the picture of hyperactivity or restlessness.
Myth #5: Everybody has ADDD symptoms sometimes, so why the diagnosis? This is like saying that everyone can get depressed, so why diagnose clinical depression? Yes, it is true that sometimes average people feel distracted, have a lack of focus and maybe some of the other ADHD symptoms. What is important is the degree that this is occurring and the duration of the symptoms, and if they are having significant problems performing tasks and activities that other people their age do not have issues with.
Adults only seek a diagnosis because ADHD is causing a problem. Often, when an adult is diagnosed with ADhD, they are relieved, as they realize that they do not have to entirely blame themselves for their struggles, and can seek treatment and move on in life.
