From:  Getting Rid of Ritalin By:  Robert Hill, Ph.D.       

Eduardo Castro, M.D.”     “Slow brainwave activity is at the core of ADD.  Ritalin is a stimulant and it speeds up the brain.  It is, however, only a temporary treatment.  Remove the stimulant and the brain slows down again.  Not only does Ritalin not fix the problem, it has side effects, and we do not know the consequences of long-term use.”  pg. viii.  Neurofeedback is a natural protocol (without side-effects) which helps the brain run the right speeds at the right time.
