Praise for ADHD Without Drugs

If I had one book to read about ADHD, this is it. It is well-written, practical and filled with the uncommonly good common sense of an experienced and compassionate clinician with fair-minded and rigorous reviews of the state of the science.

Parents are keenly interested in finding non-drug, holistic strategies that support their child’s natural healing systems and that help build healthy brains. This excellent new book artfully blends the best of conventional and complementary options for kids with ADHD. Over years of clinical practice and scientific study, Dr. Newmark has developed a balanced, safe, natural approach that I will wholeheartedly recommend for all of my patients with ADHD.

So many children with an abundance of life force and intensity are being diagnosed as ADHD and prescribed medications that all too often backfire and complicate the life of the child and family. This book offers an alternative: optimal health and balance — in ways that support a child’s body, mind, and spirit and in ways that ultimately pave the way to greater family well-being. Dr. Newmark is an amazing physician with an amazing message.

A true leader in the field of integrative pediatrics, Dr. Newmark has written a highly informative, practical, and inspirational guide for parents navigating the world of conventional and complementary medicine in their quest for optimizing the health of their children.

The information presented by Dr. Newmark is critically important for educators and parents who have been led to believe that the only way to respond to a high intensity child is medication. The quick remedy of medicating for the sake of ‘behavior management’ has robbed children of the life force that drives their creativity, enthusiasm, literally their “joie de vivre.” We MUST be determined to find another way to support the growth and development of these youngsters.

Dr. Newmark’s book is the definitive publication on the use of integrative medicine for children with ADHD. I will recommend it unreservedly to patients and colleagues alike.

Dr. Newmark’s immense breadth of knowledge and experience in treating children with attention problems is conveyed in clear, pragmatic language. And he never loses sight of the whole child amidst the confusion of diagnosis and treatment options that typically accompanies this disorder.
