The Alternative Treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder

Importance. Alternative medicine remains popular even nowadays when scientific medicine has reached a high level in use of modern technologies. Alternative methods come out to be especially effective in treatment of children because parents try to make it easier. The majority of disorders which appear in childhood is connected with incomplete processes in the growing organism.

Goal. Treatment of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been chosen as the subject of the review as the most common disturbance of children of the school age.

Methods and materials. We used the review of Ginkgo biloba, Melissa officinalis, Grapine, dimethylaminoethanol, l glutamine, and essential fatty acids as alternative methods in treatment of the disease and in comparison with substantiated medical preparations.

These substances are claimed to help restore the function of nerve cells, penetrate the blood barrier, provide improved mental alertness. Their role in the relief of the condition of patients with cerebral insufficiency has been mentioned in literature.

We provide the review of the experiment in which children of school age taking and not taking Ritalin have participated. Information regarding each participant’s behavior was collected from parents and teachers using the special measure.

Participants in the treatment groups began taking the dietary supplement combination consisted of particularised substances, Placebo, Ritalin in combination with dietary supplement combination and with Placebo. Then those who already took Ritalin received the double dietary supplement combination. Participants who first took a placebo received the double dietary supplement combination as well as an essential fatty acid.

Results. The use of these supplements with the dosages used in the study does not reduce symptoms of ADHD. Higher dosages of these supplements have the ability to improve inattentiveness and hyperactivity disorder. Essential fatty acids should be studied independently of any other treatment to test for possible treatment effects.

Conclusion. Neither the dietary supplement combination nor essential fatty acids could be declared the alternative for Ritalin in treatment of Children with ADHD.

Evaluation of therapeutic approaches: psychoneuroimmunology

Психонейроиммунология новая наука, возникшая за последнее десятилетие, изучает влияние психологических факторов и функционального состояния мозга на иммунную систему. В работе рассматриваются факторы, изменяющие иммунный ответ организма и способствующие процессу реконвалесценции.

Psychoneuroimmunology is a relatively recent branch of science that studies the interaction between the psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body. The object of the study is an influence of mental state of a patient on diseases and healing.

Interest in the relation between psychiatric syndromes or symptoms and immune function has been a consistent theme since the beginning of modern medicine. The term psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) was introduced by Robert Ader, a researcher in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York. In the 1970s Ader and other researchers found out how experience such as stress and anxiety could affect human immune system.

The experiments were held on laboratory rats, which showed that environmental factors could impact the immune system. Therefore the field of PNI began to develop and a lot of studies explored various interactions between the immune system and other mental and physical processes.

It has been determined that such conditions as heart disease, osteoporosis and arthritis are related to stress and negative emotions. Fewer studies have been aimed at showing the benefits of happiness or positive emotions on health and favourable outcome of a disease.

The report contains the information concerning the placebo effect as a significant aspect of healing. The actual incidence of the placebo effect is difficult to measure, but it is believed that one third of all patients will improve on a placebo.

More than a particular therapy, PNI is a field of research. PNI has explored the benefits of many nontraditional or holistic approaches to healing. These include psychotherapy and counseling for people with cancer and relaxation therapies to reduce stress. It is possible that PNI studies will lead to the discovery of new ways to enhance the immune system. On the basis of the findings the survey shows that PNI has proved the effect of the mind on disease and healing.

Key words

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), immune system, placebo
