"Dr. James Greenblatt's strong, integrative approach to dealing with ADHD uses natural minerals to treat imbalances in the body so that any child (or adult) can flourish without being held back by ADHD symptoms.

By exploring each of these possibilities in Dr. Greenblatt's Plus-Minus Healing Plan, parents will finally be able to finally get the assistance they need in providing true wellness for their children, whether or not they're already on medication.

Dr. James Greenblatt has seen thousands of children and adults struggling with the symptoms of ADHD--hyperactivity, inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and often irritability and combativeness. To really heal, the ADHD child needs personalized treatment to correct the biologic imbalances that affect the brain and trigger symptoms. Rather than simply prescribing medication, Dr. Greenblatt tailors remedies to his ADHD patients' individual needs, detecting and treating the underlying causes of the disorder.

Finally Focused provides a comprehensive solution to the ADHD patient's unique biochemical imbalances using proven natural and medical methods to easily treat problems such as nutritional deficiencies or excesses, dysbiosis (a microbial imbalance inside the body), sleeping difficulties, and food allergies--all of which surprisingly can cause or worsen the symptoms of ADHD. Dr. Greenblatt's effective Plus-Minus Healing Plan allows parents to understand the reasons behind their child's symptoms and provides customizable tools to eliminate them. Adults with ADHD can do the same. And if conventional medication is still necessary, this integrative approach will minimize or even eliminate troublesome side effects.

With Dr. Greenblatt's expert advice, millions of children and adults with ADHD will finally get the help they need to achieve true wellness.

Review Quotes

"Finally Focused offers up a powerful and compassionate alternative to the current reality that two thirds of ADHD patients are taking powerful medications, the long-term consequences of which have never been evaluated. James Greenblatt's work honors the notion of 'above all, do no harm, ' and does so while achieving impressive results."--David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain and The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan
