ADHD and Learning Disabilities

Homeopathy can be helpful for ADHD and Learning Disability. Anke Zimmermann, BSc, FCAH, distance consultations availablePicture

ADHD, Learning Disabilities and Homeopathy

Have you been told that your child may have ADD/ADHD? that he or she should be medicated?

Not so fast! My experience has been that many, if not most children labelled with ADD/ADHD are incredibly bright and creative and frequently feel understimulated in school.

​I regularly advise parents to have their children assessed for gifted status, to try and find better schools for them or to find other outlets for their intelligence and creativity. One 8-year-old child I saw who was identified as troublesome in grade two, was so bright that he is now being tutored by a university professor in mathematics. 
​

Some children really do struggle with ADD/ADHD issues. Homeopathy does not treat the condition, but the individual by addressing underlying causes and improving his or her constitution. 

​Causes for ADHD and Learning Disabilities may Include:

Picture
  • Head trauma, at any point in the past
  • Heavy metal toxicity, especially mercury and lead
  • Food and environmental allergies
  • Adverse reactions to medications and vaccinations
  • Exposure to toxins in child or parents
  • Inherited predispositions
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Malabsorption issues
  • Chronic infections
  • Prenatal stress
  • Birth trauma
  • Lack of exercise
  • Emotional stress
  • ​Excess electronics
Often it is a combination of several factors. I really enjoy trouble-shooting and freeing these usually very promising youngsters from their limitations. 

A few Examples

Every child is different and treated as an individual with homeopathy. There is no one remedy for ADHD or learning disabilities.

One child I saw for a learning disability described how words were moving on the page, which made it hard for him to read. A few doses of a homeopathic remedy covering this indication helped him.


Another could not focus due to disrupted sleep, as he was sleepwalking three nights a week and had bad dreams. I thought that he suffered from a chronic, low-grade infection. Once that was treated the sleepwalking stopped and he could focus without any problems.

Yet another child I saw had suffered a head injury at 9 or 10 months old and always felt as if in a fog. A homeopathic remedy frequently used to help with head injuries helped this boy.

What to Expect

Assessment involves a very detailed case taking. I usually meet with parent and child for the first visit of 60 minutes and then with the parents only for another 30-60 minutes. I review baby photos, medication and vaccine records, diet intakes, reports from other professionals and samples of art and handwriting as well as a detailed family history. 

I may or may not recommend further testing. Sometimes blood work, allergy testing or a hair mineral analysis can be very useful. 
​

A care plan is usually designed after the second visit. I then see the child about once a month for several months for approximately 30 minute visits, often only 15 minutes as he improves.

Care is aimed at addressing possible underlying or contributing causes for the child's ADHD or learning differences and improving their overall health. Please see some examples of successfully managed ADHD cases from my practice below.

Successful Cases, ADD/ADHD

A Boy with ADD and Dysgraphia

Leo, a ten-year-old boy, was diagnosed with ADD and dysgraphia. His condition was likely related to a head injury he suffered as an infant and he was cured with a homeopathic remedy. He actually lost his diagnosis.

Andrea - ADHD Related to Stress

ADHD can have many causes and successful treatment depends on the identification of these factors. Sometimes emotional trauma is the problem as this case of young girl illustrates. Homeopathy has a lot to offer in such cases.
