ADD/ADHD Testimonials and Stories from: Beck's Biometics:
http://www.beckinc.com/add-adhd.html
- My son, Justin, started Biometics (Bio Fuel 2000, Aloe Plus, Get-Go-N,
Cal/Mag 100) 3 years ago. He was 10-1/2 yrs old, weighed 70 lbs., and was
taking Ritalin 3 times a day. Because he was beginning to develop "tics",
and the Ritalin suppressed his appetite, we wanted him on the best vitamin
available. The first month on Biometics, we kept him on his regular dosage
of Ritalin. The second month we started "weaning" him off the Ritalin and
by the end of the second month he was completely off the Ritalin and has
been ever since! We noticed when he started Biometics, his headaches
decreased, he started gaining weight, he was sleeping better and he started
focusing better than before. Teresa P.
- "Justin takes his full cocktail in the morning as soon as he wakes up
about 5:30 (1 T Bio Fuel 2000, 2 scoops Get-Go-N Plus) and then I give him
1 T of Bio Alert in our wonderful travel bottles that Biometics has and a
packet of Get-Go-N Plus. I put the travel bottle with Bio Alert and the
Get-Go-N packet in a larger Rubbermaid sipper cup and he goes to the office
between his classes and mixes it up himself and drinks it. He drinks it
prior to his class before lunch period. (When Justin started middle school
we went for a teacher conference and we told them Justin was no longer on
Ritalin, and that he took nutritional supplements instead. They didn't
care if he drank it in the restroom prior to class, but Justin prefers
going to the office - I'm sure because that way he gets to socialize in the
hallway and with the office staff - which isn't a bad idea, because it gets
him out of his seat and into a new surrounding for a few minutes which is
very good for a ADD child.) No one in the office has ever questioned us
about this. In fact, they question Justin to see if it's something that
will make them feel better. Now the new vice principle, and one of the
office staff members are on product. (There are also several teachers -
his Health/PE teacher, his language resource teacher, and more on it as
well.) I think that you all will find that more and more children are
taking nutritional supplements at school. Just talk to the teacher and let
them know what you're doing. If they need a doctor’s note, then ask your
doctor to write one up - but don't offer one, just wait until they ask for
one! (Tip: Get-Go-N packets and the sample program is a great teacher
appreciation gift. I did it to help one of Justin's teachers with the
business, and we did get people on product from it! Another one of our
down line "students" gave them away as Valentines gifts instead of candy.
She told her teachers she wanted to give them something that would make
them healthy, not hurt them and make them unhealthy like candy would!)"

- My daughter is 12 as of yesterday, where does the time go? Anyway, we've
been on these products since July of 97' the Deluxe Nutritional Program is
what we use, and then when Bio Alert came out I added that as well to her
morning routine. I recommend playing with the get-go-n to find which amount
works best for each child. Venessa has 3 scoops in the morning, one at
lunch in a thermos with juice before she eats her lunch, then one to help
her through her homework at 4:00 when she gets home from school. On
weekends only one scoop in the afternoon is needed. We gradually found this
combination for her to work, with my friends I suggest 2 scoops in the
morning, then see if they notice or teacher notices afternoons being harder
then mornings then adjust accordingly. :) Dona
- Hi, Tracy here. I give my ADD daughter (age 6) 1/2 servings of Bio Fuel
2000 & Get-Go-N. I also give her 2 tsp. Cal/Mag 100 & a splash of Aloe Plus
before school and then repeat when she comes home in the afternoon (it
helps with homework time). You can read about her results in the latest
issue of Lifestyles. She's at the top right corner of page 3 (next to the
92 year old sky-diver!). I honestly credit these products with her success,
and I can only imagine what our situation would be like now had I not found
Biometics when I did!
- I hope the information is useful... It's so nice to be able to help
people, especially children! As for the products, I give only the Cal/Mag
100 and Aloe Plus twice. I used to give it to her at night, but after
talking with my sponsor (Teresa P.) and hearing what has worked for her
son, I decided to try breaking the Cal/Mag 100 up during the day. It has
made a big difference in helping her stay calm enough to focus. I have even
taken my Cal/Mag 100 in the morning to help me take it easy when my toddler
seems to be having one of his "terrible two" days! Hope this helps! Tracy :)
- My daughter has ADHD; she has been on Biometics for 3 years, since the
age of 14. What have worked for her are Bio Fuel 2000 - 1T, Aloe Plus - 1T,
Get-Go-N Plus - 4-5scoops, and this drink 2x a time. Also, we get Cal/Mag
100 at night and recently she has added Bio Immune and sometimes when
needed she gets a little Bio Nite to calm her. I hope this helps. Barbara
- No more Ritalin: "I have been on the Biometics for just three weeks. I
have ADD and Hyperactivity. Since being on the Get-Go-N and Bio Fuel 2000,
I have noticed that I am more organized, am able to ‘think straight' and
focusing has become much easier than ever. My largest problem in school is
math...I had a D three weeks ago and my teachers had a conference with my
mom, as my grades were very low. This Monday, I received the Academic
Achievement Award as I have raised my grades to C's and B's! I have also
noticed a great help with my attitude and my ability to relate to others
without getting short tempered. This product has been a miracle for me! I
am busy telling all my friends about my wonderful results. I am only
expecting to keep getting better and better! Thank you Biometics!" -

- "Prescription drugs were not doing anything for Rachael. In fact, they
were making it worse. Once I put her on Biometics, the results were
amazing! I finally have the daughter I've been praying for." - Barbara W.,
Livermore, CA
- "My eleven year old son, Nicolas, was diagnosed with Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) three years ago. His behavior was literally
tearing my family apart. At first we though it was strictly a behavioral
problem and went through the sessions with a psychologist. This did not
help. We were having a real problem as I found knives hidden under his bed.
Once Nicolas became angry there was no bringing him back to a calm state.
He even punched holes in the walls of our home. In a fit of anger, he threw
something at this sister and split her head. Finally, three years ago,
Nicolas was diagnosed with ADHD and we were told that Ritalin was the drug
that would help. I agonized for six weeks as to whether he should be on it.
As a parent, there is a real sense of guilt that goes with having to make
the decision to put your child on this kind of powerful drug. Finally, I
decided to put Nicolas on Ritalin. I felt like I had no alternative. He was
put on 10 mg. in the AM and 10 mg. before lunch. If we were going somewhere
at night, we would give him another 5 mg. We tried to keep him off the
Ritalin on the weekends. The problem with Ritalin is that Nicolas's
behavior was progressively getting worse when he was coming down off the
Ritalin then it was before he took it. Nicolas himself asked not to take it
because he didn't like the way he felt coming off it. I was introduced to
the Biometics nutritional supplements by my sister-in-law. I got such
dramatic results such as an increase in energy and it cleared up my
allergies. My whole family is on the products. Nine weeks ago, I started
Nicolas on full dosages of Biometics. I could see the difference within a
week's time. All of a sudden he was calm. We were able to eliminate the
Ritalin completely by the end of the first week. It has been nine weeks
since Nicolas has taken any Ritalin. His temperament is very level and his
anger is under control. Now we can have a disagreement and I can bring him
back to a calm state. I feel like I have a whole new child. He is so happy
and he gets along with his sister. Our family life is pleasant once again."

UPDATE: "I could not believe what happened to my son after using these
products. It has now been two years since he started the products and he is
has been Ritalin free for 1 3/4 years. In the mean time, I registered to
become a distributor. I have dedicated my entire Biometics business on
ADD/ADHD children and their families and I often hold seminars on how to
deal with an ADD/ADHD child without drugs."
- "We started Joey on Biometics on a Monday. On Tuesday at school he was
able to sit still for the first time. His teachers were wondering what
happened so I had to tell them. They are in awe of his improvements." -

- Heard at a Biometics presentation...A forty-year-old gentleman was
diagnosed with ADD only one year ago. All of his life he was very
anti-social in school and felt like a complete failure, but never
understood why. He recognized that he had very poor organizational skills
and needed to be doing 4-5 things at once, although he felt deep down that
he was a good person. He just couldn't cope, so his doctor prescribed
Ritalin, which is an amphetamine. Ritalin is supposed to calm a person with
ADD, but for this individual, it had the opposite effect and made his
symptoms even worse. He then developed Ryder's Syndrome, which is a type of
arthritis caused by inflammation of the connective tissue. It left a
permanent blur in the pupil of his eyes. His doctor said Ryder's Syndrome
was brought on by the additional stress of trying to cope with society with
ADD. In just over thirty days after taking Biometics products, he has seen
dramatic changes beginning with relief from fatigue, which forced regular
napping. He has also stopped taking Ritalin and the blurred spot in his
pupils has disappeared. He now reports that Biometics is helping his body
and brain chemistry to find a healthy balance. Symptoms of the arthritis
have now subsided.
- "One of my kids has ADHD. By using Bio Fuel 2000 and Get-Go-N Plus this
child is responding as well as, if not better than, when he was on the
prescription medicine. He takes Get-Go-N Plus three times a day, whenever
he is having trouble, and within 15 to 20 minutes we can see a calming
effect and the ability to concentrate better. My husband also takes Ritalin
for ADD, and he still does. There are times when he doesn't take the
Ritalin. He then uses the Get-Go-N Plus, as he is in the process of trying
to wean himself off the Ritalin. He also uses Bio Fuel 2000 as well as the
Get-Go-N Plus. He is feeling much better and says his math skills are much
sharper with the Get-Go-N Plus. Biometics has really helped them." - Bonnie
- "My son was diagnosed with ADD and had been on Ritalin since he was 6
years old. He is now 14. It was a very difficult decision to put him on the
Ritalin. He had terrible food allergies and I was also trying to balance
his behavior with the food he could eat and eliminating the foods that set
him off. We had him on the Ritalin during the school year and took him off
of it during the summers. When he was on the Ritalin he consistently had
night terrors. One of the side effects of having an ADD child was that
other families did not want to spend time with us. It can make you feel
very isolated. He started taking the Biometics products in February 1994.
He took mainly Bio Fuel 2000 and Aloe Plus Concentrate with minimal
Get-Go-N. His doctor felt he shouldn't have much caffeine, although he was
still getting it in some of the sodas he drank and the caffeine did not
affect him. When school started in the fall of 1994, he was doing so much
better that it did not occur to us to put him back on the Ritalin. He took
20 mg. twice a week that were time released and 10 mg. three times a week
that were not time released and he did not take it on the weekends. The
doses and times got smaller and smaller over a four-month period. We were
always trying to balance what he took. What we discovered that after being
off the Ritalin for 4-5 months, was that he started to grow. He grew 6
inches this last year. He had always been smaller in height and weight than
the average and we were thrilled with his growth. He has taken Karate to
learn how to deal with things and to help him learn self-control. When he
went to the eye doctor (he had worn glasses for a very long time) the
doctor told him he no longer needed glassed. He is feeling better and
better about himself. He works a lot on the computer and in the testing
they do at the end of the year his comprehension is way beyond his grade.
He also reads large books and reads a lot more than the average adult. We
are very grateful for what Biometics has done for our son."- Judith S., E.

- "My son has ADD and is on the products. Biometics has a special program
for mental alertness called the Nutritional Alert Program. I have noticed
that he is a lot more calmed, happier and more observant. And he even got a
‘good listener' award in school the first week he was on the products! I
was so pleased with the results that after my first week on the products I
became a distributor!" - The Cyr Family, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
- "The medicine slows down my body so I can sit still in school and not get
in trouble. But my thinking is like a movie going fast forward. With the
vitamins my thinking slows down so I can pay attention better and it's easy
to sit still. In the two years I have taken the medicine, I haven't grown
any and I'm not hungry. Now I eat all the time and I've gained ten pounds.
Before I couldn't sleep at night because when I laid down all the wiggles I
had stored up all day came out my feet. Now I sleep really good! I like to
take the Bio-stuff because I don't get into trouble as much any more." -
Lucia (11 yrs old)
- "I have a son, Matthew, with ADHD and a learning disability. When he
entered kindergarten, he was disruptive in class, had no friends, and was
not completing his work. I received notes and/or telephone calls on him
almost everyday. When he began Biometics, I started him on a dose for a
child. It was not until he was on a full adult dose that I knew the "light
bulb" had come on for him. He began to complete his assignments, make
friends in class and become proud of his accomplishments. When I first
started him on products... he took and Aloe+ for focus and concentration
and Cal/Mag 100, for the hyperactivity. The Bio Alert has added even more
concentration and memory. He has just finished 2nd grade making all S's and
A's on his spelling tests every Friday. He began 2nd grade at the end of
1st grade reading level but ended 2nd grade reading on the 1st level of 3rd
grade. There is no cure of ADD/ADHD; but, I know that Matt would have
eventually gone on Ritalin (against my better judgment) had it not been for
Biometics." - Teresa D.
- "My son Kevin (5 years old) was diagnosed with ADHD in March, 1997, and
started on Ritalin and Catapres. A year later things were not better. He
was re-evaluated in March 1998 and his medications were recommended to be
increased and if this didn't work then change medications or send him to a
school for behavioral kids. I was desperate to find something rather than
to have to send my son away. Prayers were answered. I came across a
Biometics brochure in my dentist office. I contacted the name on the
brochure and she sent me a two-day sample. I got a lift from that and let
my son taste it. He said he would try it in Grape Kool-Aid. I ordered the
Nutritional Alert Program and Cal/Mag 100. My son's progress was barely
noticeable the first week but he was calmer, more alert. The second week
was even better than that. My husband and daughters noticed a difference
too. During the second week I started to decrease Kevin's Catapres (used
for calming him down at night from the Ritalin) and after he had been on
Biometics for one month, he was drug free! Praise God and thank you
Biometics for giving me back my child who is now very loving, eats like a
horse, and is a whole lot calmer." - Jane R., Clayton, NC
