My name is Kathy. My son
David was diagnosed as having ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder) and was having trouble controlling his anger. The school he
was going to couldn't deal with children like our David.
The atmosphere at school
induced anger in David, which you could see in his eyes (like daggers).
He stayed in that school for two years like that then he said: "This is
enough, I won't go to school if I have to go there!" So together with
the counselor, we decided to send him to a school called
'Sojourner'.
Even with meds, David had to
meet many challenges. He was taking 8 meds a day. He started with
Ritalin but that just made him wilder. The teachers called to say his
behavior was worse than before. Then they gave him Dextrosat (a form of
Dexadrine). We took him to a therapist to find out what was bothering
him and getting him into trouble with the police. His grades dropped to
nearly failing (C's, D's and F's).
Together, David and I decided
to try Noni' Juice. Right away we saw a change in him. We started to see
if anyone else could see the difference. The school had an open house in
October.
One of his teachers asked: "Who are you sending to school
in David's clothes?" Let me say that I was pretty excited. Then
something happened. We ran out of Noni Juice. It took up to two weeks
for our next shipment. David's teacher called one day and said to come
and get David from school. He had gotten upset over something and had
knocked a chair over. The teacher said he didn't want him to ruin his
good record.
The next day, we received our
shipment and soon after I was getting good reports again. His grades
went up to A's and B's. In fact, he got the highest grade in one class.
He also is beginning to be mainstreamed into the middle school, one
class this quarter, two classes next quarter. After being removed from
religion class two years ago, he is now being confirmed with his
class.
The other day, I had a chance
to talk to David's hockey coach. He plays on the New Prague Pee Wee "A"
team. The coach was saying how much of a change he was in David from
last season to this. He was also saying that some of the parents were
telling him about the great difference they saw in David. And I said:
"Ya, he hasn't been in the penalty box as much."
We told David's doctor about
Noni (which he pronounced 'nuni') but after he searched the intemet and
with us leaving the brochure for him, he now knows how to pronounce
'Noni'.
David is now down to 3-4
pills a day. Our doctor suggested we change David's meds this summer to
one pill a day.
This story started at 9-10
years old and David is now 13 1/2 years old.
P.S. Now David is happy with
himself and smiles a lot and his eyes sparkle.
We just realized David has
dimples!
