| Hi! I was diagnosed with OCD which came as no surprise to me, but still. Since I am wary of the classical methods for treating this disorder and have no idea what else to do, I hope to find someone to tell me what possible alternative OCD treatment would be recommended? |

| Hi! You could always use antidepressants and risk side effects. But, if you do wish to help yourself like I did, try using natural alternative in the form of St. John’s Wort herbal remedy. Still, I would strongly recommend natural stress relievers such as yoga exercises which will do wonders to you, trust me! |

My son 2 years ago started to display tics, OCD, and anxiety. It was sooo bad I wondered how he could live a normal life because it ruled his waking hours. I'm happy to now report he is symptom FREE!!!!
It took a lot of diligence and detective work but what we did it and it does work!!!
The first thing most people have to understand is that there are tons of chemicals in our everyday food sources and if you are already struggling with something whether it be neuro-disorders or even migraines...these chemicals will exacerbate these conditions.
It turned out with my son that dairy was the main culprit behind his OCD and anxiety, sugar aggravated his tics and salicylates also aggravated his tics and anxiety. Preservatives and additives will always set him off!!!!
The first thing I tell people is take out ALL dairy!!!!! Milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. wait 2 weeks and see how you do. I would also switch to whole foods!!!! You will also want to add omega 3-6-9 to your diet....good brain supplement!!!
If you are eating those sugary cereals STOP!!!! They have an ingredient list a mile long....mostly chemicals!!!!!
There are many things you can do naturally that I can't fit into a posting
If I can be of any help let me know. Good luck!!
Alternative mom!!
