Discussion of Presented Data on ADD ADHD
The "winner" of the "Marketplace" competetion was stimulant medication (Ritalin and Dexedrine) for the 30 day trial. However, we believe that both the EEG Biofeedback group and the "Attend" group would continue to make gains beyond their measured gains at 30 days, whereas the MED group would not.
The Comparison Data shows that each treatment option is beneficial.
Here's why we like the "Attend" more than the EEG Biofeedback or the Stimulant Medication...
1. "Attend" can give better results than the EEG Biofeedback training, at least as shown in our 30 day trials. The typical course of EEG training is 40 sessions over a 120 day period of time. The typical cost for EEG training is between $2,500 to $4,000.
Yes EEG Biofeedback training works, but "Attend" can deliver the same results, or better, for about $300 over a four month period of use.
If you are doing the EEG Biofeedback training, consider also using the "Attend" product. We feel that using both can enhance the EEG training, and speed up the process (and lower the over-all cost of the EEG training).
2. "Attend" does not have the potential serious side-effects of Stimulant Medications.
Yes Stimulant Medications work, and work quickly. Just make sure that your physician knows what he or she is doing.
If you are going to use stimulant medications , also consider using the "Attend" nutraceutical product at the same time. We have see many children and teens decrease their effective, or optimal dose of stimulants by 50% or more, ie. a child receiving great benefit from three 10mg doses of Ritalin might receive the same benefit from three 5mg doses of Ritalin plus the Attend. The Attend takes about 30 to 45 days to really take effect.
ALWAYS talk with your physician before making any changes to anybody's medications. Stimulant medications are not toys, or vitamins. They are powerful interventions for the treatment of attention deficit disorder. They can be a sharp two-edged sword, so treat them with respect.
