Brain Exercises to Cure ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a thinking disorder, not a behavioral one. And it can be cured without the use of Ritalin or other medications. So maintains renowned psychiatrist/neurologist Dr. Amnon Gimpel, whose has developed targeted mental and physical exercises that stimulate development in precisely those areas of the ADHD brain where growth is deficient.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Gimpel calls upon new discoveries in brain function to present a revolutionary, multi-disciplinary program that frees ADHD sufferers from a dependence on medication and equips them with the skills necessary to enhance memory, heighten concentration, sharpen decision-making skills, and control hyperactivity and impulsivity. Step by step, in easily understood prose, Brain Exercises to Cure ADHD demonstrates convincingly that the future of those with this debilitating disorder is bright at long last.

1don't waste your money  Jun 17, 2010
By Wendy
As a mother of two sons with ADHD I am always trying to stay current on the latest tools to help them. After reading the reviews I was really interested in this book. I guess I was interested because, since the title of the book is "Brain Exercises to Cure ADHD", I thought there might be some actual brain exercises in the book. There are 271 pages. The closest thing to this is the chapter on Brain Exercise Therapy (p. 113-126). There is basically a description of the science of brain neurons and how they are different in the ADHD brain. The author also describes that using the brain in new ways develops more neurons. OK, this makes sense. At long last I made it to the whopping 2 pages with suggested activities, and the activities aren't really specific to what area of the brain they will help develop. For example, "What is of interest to your child? Use it. For example, children often develop intense interests. If they are fascinated with cats or dogs, buy books that discuss the different types and their names". Additional suggestions include doing martial arts, chess, magic tricks and Rummikub. None of these ideas are bad, but they are also not rocket science and there is no specific benefit tied to any of them. Honestly, there is virtually no information in this book that you don't already know (gems like "praise you child" and "have structure and boundaries". Really? Don't we already know that?!) This book was a big fat waste and I'm pretty sure the other reviews were written by relatives of the author. If you want specific activities that work get Brain Gym, or Rappin' on the Reflexes.

5Wonderful book  Feb 12, 2008
By Dina
I purchased this book about a month ago, and after reading it I decided to implement into my kids lives a few of the various methods mentioned in the book. The simple brain exercises that are in the book have made a world of difference in my life and even more so in my kids lives.
Both of my sons have ADHD and since I've started using the methods that are explained in the book my kids have been behaving better, working harder and even feeling generally better about themselves.

All and all I found this book to be LIFE SAVER and a BIG help, I would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

Special thanks to DR. Amnon Gimpel on such a GREAT book!

5Amazing Discoveries about A.D.D. There is a cure!!!  Feb 18, 2008
By M. Darling "Mo D."
After suffering 19 years with a daughter who has A.D.D., we've finally found hope. I'm only 1/2 way through this book and I have to say that it's packed full of good info on how to cure A.D.D. There is an answer.

My husband has A.D.H.D and I've actually witnessed this working on him and he is 44 years old. I can't wait to share it with my daughter and get her started.

5Great Book!  Feb 18, 2008
By M. Braswell
I just received this book about a week ago. I can't put it down. It's the first book I read that makes sense. It is full of practical ideas and simple to read and understand. Looking forward to trying the exercises with my grandchild.

5Excellent resource  Mar 04, 2008
By Meg Russell, LMBT
This book is excellent - especially for the medically inclined (I found that to be true, although it is still relative to the layman). It's eye opening and very very helpful. I zoomed through the first 5 chapters the first night and didn't expect that! We've begun implementing the coaching parenting recommendations and it is so much nicer and easier for everyone involved. I don't like the title or the fact that he advocates the use of medication, but ultimately he is showing how to be better parents and understand our child better. There were a few typos. :)
