If you're susceptible to the placebo effect, then you can take whatever you want. Whether its essential oils or eating a piece of paper, if you think it will help your ASD/ADHD, then chances are it might on some illusional/psychological level.

For real results, I recommend sticking to real science, not watered down rip-offs.

Honestly I think eating paper will be better. So which type of paper do you recommend??

Hmm so what's real science ? Or medically science proven.

for example taking anti-depression pills or any anti- medicine for long term gives you build up tolerance and eventually a heavier dosage have to be prescribed for the effect you wish to obtain. People tend to get addicted to these and without them or stopping them suddenly will led you into a crash or withdrawal state to medicine. Simply drugs are taxing on the liver causing more issues or side effects that the doctor didn't wish to tell you.

so for adhd , the prescribed medicine may be ratalin which actually is meth. can you believe taking meth for a decade with out stopping. Does that give u a placebo effect after taking for so many years. I think providing a double blind test for patients on long term medicine gives confusing results.

doctors are more than willing to prescribe medicine to patients because that's why part of their revenue comes from.

well that's where I am coming from

I am on fluoxetine for so call dystemia diagnose with a GP. sometime when I don't take it , I probably feel the same. I had to go on for a month or two before I feel the effect "that my mild depression will go away"

as such I am taking saffron extract pills or real saffron (it's expensive) as a mood lifter or lessen depression. Maca root seems to improve on mood as well.

I won't say that these herbs are effectively good against depression , but I can't measure levels of depression either.

But if u believe chicken soup for cold is a quick relief or remedy , then that's may be something worth knowing.

Sorry for the verbal dump.

nope, psuedoscience is a waste of time and money and does nothing, especially nothing to treat something that is a neurological difference and not an actual disorder or illness needing medication

if i want to treat the anxiety that goes with it i'll use scientifically backed medication.

Do you know medicine for anxiety side effect can be worse than anxiety? it can possibly led you to have blur Vision , memory loss and into depression, drowsy .And you have to take depression pills by then.


I don't think psuedoscience is a waste of time or money.

It doesn't treat a neurological illness so doesn't medicine

Meaning to lessen or relieve symptoms that comes along with it and without side effects that medication do to you.

Have u heard of light therapy and aroma for dimentia for alzheimer patients

How many people actually conveniently picked up a camphor, eucalyptus inhaler for stuff nose or cold?

Practice of acupuncture to relieve backpain

a lot of psuedoscience creation can't be tested as such medication/procedures needs to be vigorously tested and may take 5 years before deem safe for mass usage. A patient may have died waiting for a cure.

Chicken soup is scientifically proven to work as far as it claims to rehydrate. Homeopathic remedies on the other hand don't have the evidence to substantiate the claims. Side effects come with anything scientifically proven or not. Medicines never made the claim to be a Magic Elixir. They're just to help or sometimes cure the ailment. Living has side effects, the big one that comes to mind death

Homeopathy has been the subject of at least 12 scientific reviews, including meta-analytic studies, published since the mid-1980s, and the findings are remarkably consistent: homeopathic "remedies" are not effective.

The only thing that homeopathic elixirs can possibly cure is dehydration.
