NO MORE ADHD
Treating the Underlying Causes of Attention and Behavior
Problems Instead of Using Drugs to Cover Symptoms
Dr. Mary Ann Block, top-selling author of No More ADHD, No More Ritalin,
No More Antibiotics and Just Because You're Depressed Doesn't Mean You Have Depression and international expert
on attention and behavior problems, refutes the very existence of the ADHD diagnosis. Dr. Block is an outspoken
critic of the dangers of psychiatric drugging of children. She travels the world speaking to public and
professional audiences about safer and more effective non-drug treatments for children with attention and
behavior problems.
In her practice, Dr. Block sees thousands of children from all over the world who have had both
physical and psychological problems as a result of the ADHD label and treatment. Prior to seeing Dr. Block, most of
these children never had a thorough medical exam to rule out the many health problems that can cause the symptoms
before they were labeled ADHD and given psychiatric drugs. These drugs carry many risks. Dr. Block has seen
countless children who have suffered serious and frightening side effects from these drugs prior to coming to The
Block Center.
 Amphetamine-type drugs such as Ritalin, Adderall and Focalin
and the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI), such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil and Luvox and the new
selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors such as Strattera, can cause serious side effects. These can
include seizures, cardiac problems such as arrhythmias, hypertension, heart failure and even death. These
drugs can also cause emotional symptoms such as psychosis, agitation, aggression, hostility, anxiety and
hallucinations. Parents can find complete information about the side-effects of each drug in the drug insert
from the pharmacist or in the Physician's Desk Reference, a book that can be found at the library.
When Dr. Block
completes a comprehensive history and medical exam, she often uncovers a variety of underlying health and
learning problems that were not found nor treated prior to the child coming to her.
Dr. Block has seen, time and time
again, the attention and behavior problems resolve after treating the identified health issues. The most
common causes of attention and behavior problems that Dr. Block finds in her practice are undiagnosed
allergies and food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, low blood sugar, learning
differences, gastrointestinal problems, thyroid problems and other problems.
Dr. Mary Ann
Block treats many other chronic health problems such as, asthma, arthritis, gastrointestinal problems and
others. He approach is to look for and treat, whenever possible, the underlying causes instead of covering the
symptoms with drugs.
Find The Cause -- Fix The Problem
Dr. Block looks for and treats, whenever possible, the underlying cause of the medical problem rather than just
covering symptoms with prescription drugs.
Dr. Block`s approach is based on the century old medical philosophy,
"The body has the ability to heal itself if we give it what it needs and we take away what it doesn`t need."
