our 12 year old son...

Q.) Our 12 yr old son we think is suffering OCD. We are at the point of taking him to the Doctors but wish WE could do more to help him. Is there a chemical imbalance we should check out first?

A.) I would definitely take him to the doctors to rule out everything else. He should also do a formal diagnosis or be able to refer you to a counselor if need be. However somethings that you as parents can do is make sure that you feed him organic food. More and more foods are filled with preservatives, pesticide residues, even in our water are harmful chemicals. I would also recommend distilled water or water purified by reverse osmosis. Kids are more prone to be affected by these chemicals as their bodies are still growing and forming. We want our cells to act the way they are supposed to, but we don't want to give them the right fuel and we wonder why they don't work. It took me forever to give up twinkies and hohos and colas! Oh man, I do love me a good cola. but seriously, once you go organic, these old foods start to taste too sweet and it's kinda disgusting.

As far as emotionally, I would be there for him. Tell him he can do anything he puts his mind to. Praise him when he has little victories and this will pave the way for big victories. Be patient with him and help him gradually. The Bible says that if you teach a kid in the way he should go, even though he turn away, he'll come back to the principles you have put in his mind.
