What are the causes of ADD?

There are many different causes and explanations for the symptoms of ADD including diet, allergies, food intolerances, low muscle tone, anxiety, depression, family problems, poor discipline and even some forms of illness.

Unfortunately some doctors and therapists do not do a thorough assessment and simply prescribe potentially harmful psychiatric drugs without considering what the causes the problem might be.

Why should you use BrightSpark?

Native Remedies clinical psychologist, Michele Carelse, has worked for many years with children and adults who struggle with the symptoms of ADD, as well as with children's parents and teachers.

As a result, she has discovered that a combination of natural remedies, healthy diet, and a structured and caring approach will usually result in a dramatic improvement.

The natural remedy that she developed to be incorporated into this combination is BrightSpark - a 100% homeopathic formula that she created in consultation with experts in the field of natural and homeopathic medicine. It treats the symptoms of child ADD without the potentially dangerous side effects associated with many psychiatric drugs.

BrightSpark is a safe and effective remedy that has been tested over the years in the treatment of hundreds of children in her practice. Feedback from parents and teachers has been consistently good.

Many adults and children with ADD are highly creative and intelligent individuals with a wonderful sense of humor. BrightSpark will keep you 'Bright and Sparky', while at the same time helping you to focus and pay attention, without the risk of addiction, drowsiness and other side effects.

How do I use BrightSpark?

Dosage: BrightSpark comes in very small sucking tablets (can be chewed as well, and have a pleasant taste) taken 2 at a time, 3 times daily.

The second dosage can be taken at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. for those children that are in school. Use on an empty stomach.

Avoid strong mint flavored candies, mint has long been recognized as an antidote to homeopathic remedies.

What is a homeopathic product? 

While it is not possible to go into the complexities of homeopathic medicine in full within of this FAQ, homeopathic medicine very briefly works by administering minute quantities of substances which are known to cause the symptoms concerned, thereby stimulating the body to heal itself. Basically, homeopathic medicines encourage the body's own defense mechanisms to correct the problem. A classic example is that of caffeine. Caffeine generally causes insomnia, but it is used homeopathically to treat insomnia. Minute amounts of caffeine extract, prepared in accordance with homeopathic pharmaceutical principles are administered to people suffering from insomnia in order to stimulate the body to heal itself against the symptoms of insomnia. A somewhat similar principle is used when children are vaccinated against chickenpox, for example. Homeopathic remedies must be used on a daily basis. After 6 months of regular use, we recommend that the remedy be stopped during a holiday to see whether symptoms return. If not, one can discontinue use.
 
How often should I take it?

BrightSpark MUST Be taken three (3) times daily, every day in order to be effective. It is very important to not miss doses. If you do miss a dose, however, do not take "make-up" doses.
 
How quickly does it take effect? 

This depends to a large extent on the individual's physiological make-up. For MOST children, BrightSpark will work its way up to full effectiveness over a three to five week period. We have had customer who have seen the benefits within a few days, but for the most part, expect a three to five week period. For those with ADHD who wish to see quick results, combine BrightSpark with Focus ADHD Formula for the first 5 weeks while BrightSpark takes effect.

How long will I have to take it?

This depends on each person's physiological make up. Because it is homeopathic,it is possible that use of BrightSpark can permanently improve or eradicate some of the symptoms of ADD or ADHD, and we have seen that in some children. We recommend taking BrightSpark in six-month treatment plans, stopping it at the end of each six-month period for a week or two to see if the symptoms have lessened or disappeared. If they have not, then resume for another six months and so on. There is absolutely no problem in taking BrightSpark forever if needed. There are no side effects, it is not addictive and it is 100% safe.
 
My child has ADD - is BrightSpark the right product? 

Yes - BrightSpark is the product to use. While it can also safely be used to treat ADHD, as a homeopathic product, there will be no adverse effect if one only has ADD
 
My child has ADHD - will BrightSpark help?

Yes - BrightSpark can be effectively used for either ADHD or ADD. 

Can I combine BrightSpark with your other Homeopathic remedies? 

Yes - being homeopathic, BrightSpark can be safely taken with any other medications, including our other homeopathic ones. This is often recommended, especially for children with anxiety issues (Kiddie Calmer) and who have regular temper outbursts (Tantrum Tamer).

Can I take it with prescription ADD/ADHD medications? 

BrightSpark is perfectly safe to take with other ADD/ADHD medications, including Strattera, Concerta, Ritalin and Adderall. Of course, we strongly advocate trying to get kids off these drugs, since their extreme side effects are well-documented. However, if you feel comfortable continuing their use but are looking to augment and improve their results with Brightspark, this is quite safe to do.
 
Should I continue to take prescription ADD/ADHD medications?

You can quite safely continue to use those products. However, if you find BrightSpark is working, you should consider slowly weaning off those other products, since BrightSpark is much safer, has no side effects and is non-addictive. If you feel safer doing so, consult your doctor to help you with a program to wean off these products.
 
How do I wean my child off other ADHD/ADD medications (Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta etc)?

As you know, Adderall, Ritalin and Concerta are amphetamine stimulants and if they have been used for some time, your child will probably experience withdrawal symptoms when he/she stops using it. These are usually fatigue and moodiness, often with frequent tears and low tolerance levels, which can last up to 2 or 3 weeks.

To wean off these, we suggest:

1. Try to find the least stressful time possible to begin to reduce the dosage. A school vacation is often good - especially if some family members can also take time off to support him/her while they are coming off the drug.
2.  As our BrightSpark formula can be taken together with any of these drugs without any adverse effects, were recommend that you begin your child on BrightSpark a week or two before you decide to start cutting down on the drug. Incidentally, BrightSpark is also particularly effective with children who have difficulty with anger and violent impulses. Some people experience an almost immediate improvement with BrightSpark, while for others a 3 - 5week period is needed to see significant results. Begin taking the BrightSpark exactly as directed on the bottle.
3. After a week or two of the BrightSpark, halve the dosage of the prescription drug for about a week and then give your child the reduced dosage every second day for a further week. While all may go smoothly, be prepared for some difficult times and try and ensure that there is as little stress on your child during this time as possible. At this point you can also begin giving your child a full dosage of Focus for ADHD, if you are combining our two remedies (often a good idea).
4. If all goes well after this, you can completely cut out the prescription drug and continue with BrightSpark and Focus.
    

Does it have any contraindications?

No, there are no contraindications for BrightSpark, and it is perfectly safe to take with other medications, including other ADHD / ADD medications.
 
Can adults take BrightSpark?

While BrightSpark was specifically created for children under 12, it has been quite successfully used by teenagers and adults. Adults using BrightSpark should increase the dosage to 4 or 5 times daily. However, both teenagers and adults with ADD (not ADHD) should strongly consider using Focus ADDult instead. Focus ADDult was specifically formulated for teenagers and adults and is very effective in treating ADD. For those with ADHD, use Focus ADHD Formula.
 
Can I take it if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Being homeopathic, BrightSpark is quite safe for pregnant women or nursing mothers and, in fact, would be the recommended treatment for those with ADD/ADHD. In these cases, the dosage should be increased to 4 or 5 times daily.
 
Does BrightSpark cure ADD/ADHD?

This depends on each person's physiological make up. Because it is homeopathic,it is possible that use of BrightSpark can permanently improve or eradicate some of the symptoms of ADD or ADHD, and we have seen that in some children. We recommend taking BrightSpark in six-month treatment plans, stopping it at the end of each six-month period for a week or two to see if the symptoms have lessened or disappeared. If they have not, then resume for another six months and so on. There is absolutely no problem in taking BrightSpark forever if needed. There are no side effects, it is not addictive and it is 100% safe.
 
What else should I take with BrightSpark?

BrightSpark is a very effective, 100% safe homeopathic treatment for ADHD. As a homeopathic medication, one would take it every day including on weekends. Some people immediately benefit from BrightSpark, while for some it can take up to three to five weeks for full effect. However, it is ultimately extremely effective and can be used on its own.

Since BrightSpark can take some time to build up in the body, to get some quicker relief from the symptoms, Focus ADHD Formula can be used along with BrightSpark. Use Focus for 4 - 5 weeks, then discontinue use if you so desire, and by then BrightSpark should be at full effect. For very bad cases of ADHD, you can safely use the two products together on an ongoing basis.
 
Does BrightSpark help temper tantrums? 

Temper tantrums in children with ADHD is often a bi-product of the frustration these children experience in feeling "different" or "out of control". Often, as BrightSpark takes effect, their frustration decreases and so do the temper outbursts. However, in some cases, it can be very helpful and is quite safe to use Tantrum Tamer along with BrightSpark to eradicate temper tantrums in highly volatile children
 
Is BrightSpark safe for children and from what age? 

BrightSpark can quite safely be given to children of all ages, from two years and up. Of course, one should be very careful in identifying a two year old child as ADHD or ADD. At that age, this is very difficult to establish and one should be wary about making such diagnoses. However, BrightSpark can quite safely be taken from ages two and up.
 
Will it help with sleep? 

While BrightSpark is not a sleep aid, hyperactivity often plays a role in causing irregular sleep patterns for people with ADHD. As BrightSpark takes effect and reduces hyperactivity, sleep patterns often improve. However, if you feel you need a sleep aid for regular use, consider using Serenite, which is a very effective aid for insomnia and sleep problems
 
Does BrightSpark interfere with prescription or over-the-counter allergy medications such as Zyrtec, Cingulair, Claritin etc?

No, BrightSpark will not interfere at all with allergy medications. In fact, it is noted that most kids with ADD or ADHD have a high degree of allergies. No one knows why, but there just is a high correlation. BrightSpark includes ingredients that help to reduce levels of allergies, so not only will it not detract from prescription or OTC allergy medications, it should help to reduce the child's tendency towards allergies overall.
