Yes. The Nemechek Protocol will help many childhood issues because many have similar origins, an overgrowth of intestinal bacteria and multiple mechanisms that fuel inflammation.

After starting the protocol, a gradual improvement in focus, attention, and hyperactivity will become noticeable after a few months. As this continues, reducing the medication dose by 25-50% will allow you to measure if the medication is still necessary. I always recommend dose reductions with the assistance of the prescribing physician.

As the blood pressure regulation system recovers, you’ll notice greater improvements in your child’s focus and attention skills beyond what the medication provides. A reduction to a new, lower test dosage periodically can help you determine if they still need as much medication. Some parents will stop the ADD/ADHD medication completely over a weekend or during a school holiday break to see how much they are needed. If a child functions significantly worse on the lower dose, increase back to the prior level and try again in another 4-8 weeks.

No, I use an age-based dosing regimen.
