Israeli scientist develops natural alternative for Ritalin

By David Brinn January 01, 2006

Parents of children with attention deficits have come to rely on Ritalin to keep their children calm and attentive in school.

However, potential side effects and health hazards have made many parents hesitant about giving their children the drug, and has caused sleepless nights among those who have made the choice to do so.
