This is a place for discussions about treatments not considered to be a part of conventional medication. These may be used instead of, or in conjunction with, pharmaceutical medications.

CABF encourages parents to report any serious adverse events (such as severe worsening of symptoms, seizures, mania or depression resulting in hospitalization) associated in time with a child's taking a prescription or over-the-counter medication, or a nutritional supplement, to the FDA Medwatch program. You don't have to name the doctor, or know for sure that the adverse event was caused by the medication or supplement. The FDA looks for patterns in the reports to determine if additional studies or labeling are needed.

CAUTION: Response to medications, supplements and treatments is highly individual and varies a great deal between children. DO NOT START, STOP, OR CHANGE THE DOSE OF YOUR (OR YOUR CHILD'S) MEDICATION OR TREATMENT WITHOUT CONSULTING A CLINICIAN WHO KNOWS YOUR CHILD.
