"My 10 1/2 year old son has had problems in school for years and at home causing frustration, attention problems, and anxiety.
He was thought once to have absence seizures due to staring in the class room. Medication for that was disastrous; it brought out hyper episodes, rash behavior, and total personality changes for the worse. He has always been entertaining and fun loving.
He was taken off that medication and eventually tried Adderal which turned my child into an emotional wreck. He lost weight, experienced insomnia, and had poor self esteem. A total personality change for the worse. Next was Concerta, high doses of this medicine created a Zombie affect, on lower doses he still had insomnia, (the boy could not sleep and refused to sleep alone in his room for years, always a fight at night) and it just did not improve the focus in school. He was more argumentive and whiny on these drugs.
He was on nothing since the last month of 2004 school year, until we heard about natural supplements helping children. We started Listol in late autumn I believe, because he just could not focus and grades were dropping to D's and F's. We started just one capsule a day out of fear of side affects, after a month, he had no side affects. We increased it to two a day. This is a new child. He has slept in his room alone for the last 7 or 8 weeks and even goes to bed on his own. His last report card was a C, C+, two B's and a B+. He is calm, not argumentive over homework and he does not complain about church. Who is this child! All that torture we put him through with those medications. If only Id known sooner. Thank you for Listol."
