Another of the ingredients listed is "Choline." I looked to see what that was and found:
""Choline has only recently been recognized as an essential nutrient. Choline is part of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which plays a major role in the brain; for this reason, many studies have been designed to look at choline's role in brain function.
Choline functions as a part of a major biochemical process in the body called methylation; choline acts as a methyl donor.
In higher dosages, minor but annoying side effects may occur, such as abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea. Maximum safe dosages for young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been determined.""
Hmmmm...sounds like one of her ingredients is a drug that affects the brain, and affects methyl....and she complains about methylphenidate? Do I see a pot calling a kettle black? She is pushing a drug that affects the brain...while decrying medications that do the same????
Not to mention that "max safe dosages for young children has not been determined..." This is what she is insisting is safer for our kids?
She also lists many types of "friendly bacteria", the most widely known is acidophilus...however, this also does not have an established safe level for kids:
""There is no information available regarding the use of acidophilus by children. Do not give any herbal / health supplement to a child without first talking to the child's doctor.
Although uncommon, allergic reactions to acidophilus have been reported. Stop taking acidophilus and seek emergency medical attention if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction including difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives."""
Wow...this woman insists that taking methylphenidate is dangerous, and then she offers something that I *know* causes hives topically, and other ingredients that have been known to produce anaphylactic shock?? Oh, yea, let me stop taking something that has proven useful and not dangerous, and give me hives and shock!!!
Yeah, but hers is all natural, Buny--it doesn't come from one of those nasty pharmaceutical companies!
Besides--what could you have against the poor woman turning a profit?

So far, it has been shown to be beneficial for treating AD/HD, cancer fatigue, drug addiction, and, there is evidence that it may prevent certain types of breat tumors in lab animals.
OH, and Joe Parsons and I are old friends, and we share many common interests.
