ADHD Alternative Homeopathic Nutraceutical Medicine
Attend may be an excellent ADHD alternative treatment choice, and is perhaps the most advanced "natural alternative ADHD remedy" available today.
Attend is a natural treatment choice that observed to work with computerized testing, in addition to parent reports. Attend is one of the most popular alternative choices to ADHD medications such as Ritalin, Strattera, Concerta, Dexedrine, Adderall, or other medications for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. As some evidence mounts that stimulants may not be as safe as once thought, many parents are looking for an alternative that works.
Try Attend first!
In 1996 VAXA's Neuro-Scientists developed Attend using cutting edge research with amino acid combinations, Essential Fatty Acids and Lipid complexes, homeopathic medicines, and precursors to specific neurotransmitters.
This combination of neural building materials gives the brain what it needs to optimize performance in filtering out noise from the "outside world," and noise from "the inside world," to focus better on the task at hand. Attend helps children and adults who have problems with attention, learning, or impulse control!
ADHD Alternative Medicine | ATTEND Homeopathic Medicine
Attend is formulated with 72 specific ingredients for maximum benefit:
- Specific Amino Acid combinations for the increased production of specific neurotransmitters,
- Essential Fatty Acids and Phospholipid complexes, as over one-half of the dry weight of the brain is made up of fatty acids and lipids, and supplementation in EFAs and lipid complexes has been shown to be beneficial with ADHD, and brain performance in general,
- and Homeopathic Medicines targeted to the symptoms of ADHD.
ADHD Alternative Treatment with Attend
Attend is a homeopathic medicine that is combined with the most advanced nutritional formula available. Providing nutritional and homeopathic support to the Central Nervous System, Attend may help the brain by giving the support required for new neural growth and neurotransmitter production.
Taken regularly, Attend was formulated to complement our body's natural calming and balancing agents, which may help to focus attention, calm down and relax more, and finish our tasks.
Turning Struggles into Success since 1996
We personally performed the research and development studies for Attend, and we have seen the positive results in real life settings.
Attend may help 70% to be more focused, to get their work done, and to think more clearly.
Improvement in Self-Control
The study group showed the greatest improvement in the area of Self-Control, shown by a reduction of "Commission Errors". This item improved by 1.6 standard deviations.
This means that as a group they made fewer mistakes, guessed less on responses, slowed down to get the right answer, and showed better neurological self-control.
More Consistent Performance
The next greatest improvement was in the Consistency of Performance, which is the most difficult category to improve whether using Attend or stimulant medications. The group saw an overall improvement of 1.2 standard deviations.
This means that as a group they were able to maintain their initial focus to the task longer, and they had less "ups and downs" during the test. They were simply performing better, longer.
Improved Focus to Task
The Focus to Task category, improved 1.0 standard deviations. This is also a very strong improvement considering it is for an entire group.
This means that as a group they were paying attention to the task much better, and for a longer period of time. Their "attention span" increased to the boring task of the TOVA test.
Improved Reaction Time
The improvement in Reaction Time was 5 points, or 1/2 of a standard deviation, which is still statistically significant, especially for a group.
Reaction Time is obviously neurologically based. Improvement in RT indicates that neurological performance had improved for the group for some reason. That reason was the use of Attend for 30 days.
Getting the Most From Attend

Does Attend Work?
Attend's Effectiveness as a Homeopathic Alternative ADHD Medicine
Over-View of Attend Study Results
Attend is an over-the-counter homeopathic nutraceutical treatment - ADHD alternative medicine.
There is no question that stimulant medications like Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, and Dexedrine work well for ADHD. But they can have side-effects that can be serious - so much so that they carry "Black Box" label warnings from the FDA.
A comparison of studies shows that Attend makes as much improvement as Ritalin or EEG Biofeedback training. Compare for yourself.
Attend, and stimulant medications for ADHD, can help you to be more focused, more self-controlled, and get work done faster.
Clinical Studies on Attend
Our clincial studies with computerized CPT tests found that 70% of the subjects using Attend for 30 days made statistically significant improvements in these areas:
- FOCUS TO TASK- Focus improved One Standard Deviation on the bell curve; meaning that subjects could pay attention to boring tasks much better than before, and for a longer period of time.
You could expect to see your child, or teenager, stay focused to his school work, or other tasks, longer and better. It will also help concentration in sports, and is sold under a different label for professional golfers.
- SELF CONTROL - In one sense, Self-Control is the ability to inhibit impulsivity, to not be so impulsive. This measure improved over One and One-Half Standard Deviations; which means that your child or teen will make fewer mistakes from being impulsive, control themselves better, and make better decisions.
- REACTION TIME - Reaction Time, as measured by a computer in thousanths of a second, improved One-Half of a Standard Deviation; which means neurological processing speed improves. Subjects processed information faster, and reacted faster. This is the hardest measure to improve, whether using Ritalin or Attend. Even college athletes improved their reaction time using Attend.
- CONSISTENCY - The Consistency of Performance score improved more than One Standard Deviation. This is also known as the Variability score on the TOVA test.
This is the most important score on the TOVA related to diagnosing and treating ADD ADHD. When this score improves, it means that your child or teen has: 
- FOCUSED longer and is more "dialed in" to the task
- IMPROVED overall performance
- LESS "SCATTERED" thinking and organization
- BETTER PERFORMANCE at school
- BETTER GRADES
- focus to GET WORK DONE
- organization to TURN HOMEWORK IN on time
Imagine the difference this EXCITING alternative to Ritalin, Strattera, Dexedrine, or other strong medications could make for your family!
Clinical Trial Results: Attend 30 Day Study
Our R&D Clinical Trial Results
TOVA Test results with subjects who were given a baseline TOVA, and then retested after just 30 days use of Attend (4 capsules per day).
As a group the subjects improved in every area measured. TOVA results are objective, as opposed to subjective parent rating scales, which is why we chose the TOVA.
We also gave out parent rating scales, and the results were that 80% of the subjects were reported to have significant improvements in the 30 day trial. We will report those results elsewhere.
Note: on the TOVA Test, an improvement of 1/2 of a standard deviation (or 5 points) is considered statistically significant. In other words, it was not just an accident but something significant happened to cause an improvement in performance.
Also Note: "100" on the TOVA test is the statistical mid-point, or center average. Between "90" and "110" would be considered in the "average" or "pretty normal" ranges. Scores in the 80's are "low normal" and scores below "80" need help.
The TOVA is not an IQ test, but is somewhat related to IQ. In other words, the higher someone's IQ is, the better we would expect that person would perform on the TOVA. If there is a performance gap, that might indicate a neurological problem like ADHD.
The TOVA measures four categories of performance:
- Focus to Task - measured by errors of Inattention
- Self-Control - measured by errors of Impulsivity
- Reaction Time - a good measure of neurological performance
- Consistency of Performance - measured by the Variability of the performance from item to item.
Improvement in Self-Control
The study group showed the greatest improvement in the area of Self-Control, shown by a reduction of "Commission Errors". This item improved by 16 points, or 1.6 standard deviations.
This means that as a group they made fewer mistakes, guessed less on responses, slowed down to get the right answer, and showed better neurological self-control.
More Consistent Performance
The next greatest improvement was in the Consistency of Performance, which is the most difficult category to improve whether using Attend or stimulant medications. The group saw an overall improvement of 12 points, or 1.2 standard deviations.
This means that as a group they were able to maintain their initial focus to the task longer, and they had less "ups and downs" during the test. They were simply performing better, longer.
Improved Focus to Task
The Focus to Task category, improved 10 points, or 1.0 standard deviation. This is also a very strong improvement considering it is for an entire group.
This means that as a group they were paying attention to the task much better, and for a longer period of time. Their "attention span" increased to the boring task of the TOVA test.
Improved Reaction Time
The improvement in Reaction Time was 5 points, or 1/2 of a standard deviation, which is still statistically significant, especially for a group.
Reaction Time is obviously neurologically based. It indicates that neurological performance had improved for the group for some reason. That reason was ATTEND.
To get the most benefit from Attend, learn about the Different Types of ADHD and the Specific Treatment Strategies for each.
Note that improvements were found in all four categories. These were very positive changes for the group.
Here is a rare radio interview with Gregory Young, Ph.D., Oxon., Neuroscientist and developer of Attend. This is from one of Dr Cowan's old "Your Family's Health" radio program from c.1999 on KERI radio. It is about 14 minutes long and is very interesting and quite in-depth.

NEXT PAGE: See how these changes COMPARE with the use of SIMULANT MEDICATIONS or EEG BIOFEEDBACK TRAINING. The RESULTS were very close, and very interesting.
Note: These study results are the sole property of Dr Cowan and until they are published as a study for the public they are not to be quoted or referred to as fact without the express permission of Dr Cowan. This study was not an academic study, but was conducted as a "research and development" project for VAXA International, the manufacturer of Attend. It was conducted in 1996-97. The group for the study on this formula of Attend, which was later put into production and is the formula used today, included more than 20 subjects. These study results were used by the company to determine whether or not to continue with an existing formula (the Old Attend formula) or upgrade to a new formula, which they did in 1998.
Compare Attend, Ritalin, EEG Biofeedback
Comparing Attend to Ritalin and EEG Biofeedback
We came across Rossiter and La Vaque's article on the EEG Spectrum site.
They used the same research tools as we had, namely the TOVA test, and they also used the same time frames (30 days). They had two groups, and compared the TOVA test improvements on a group using Ritalin for 30 days to a group using EEG Biofeedback training for 30 days.
One thing to note about these studies is that the TOVA test has no "placebo effect." That means that a researcher does not need a control group using a placebo for comparison. No one makes improvements on the computerized TOVA test scores unless there are some real neurological improvements.
A Comparison of EEG Biofeedback and Psychostimulants in Treating Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders. Thomas P. Rossiter, and Theodore J. La Vaque. Journal of Neurotherapy, 1, Summer 1995
When we put our information side to side with theirs, we have an apples to apples comparison for you to evaluate.
What should be obvious at first glance is that all three treatment interventions work. Each makes significant improvements on the TOVA.
Each intervention is helpful at reducing the symptoms of ADHD and improving performance.
Discussion of Presented Data on ADD ADHD
On close study is appears that the stimulant medication (Ritalin) performed slightly better overall than "Attend" or EEG Biofeedback training.
However, we believe that both the EEG Biofeedback group and the "Attend" group would continue to make gains beyond their gains measured at 30 days, whereas the Ritalin group would not make any further gains.
The Comparison Data shows that each treatment option is beneficial.
Why We Like ATTEND More Than Neurofeedback
Here's why we like the "Attend" more than EEG Biofeedback Training:
- "Attend" can give better results than the EEG Biofeedback training, at least as shown in our 30 day trials.
- The typical course of EEG training is 40 sessions over a 120 day period of time.
- The typical cost for EEG training is between $2,500 to $4,000.
Yes EEG Biofeedback training works, but "Attend" can deliver slightly better results for about $300 over the same 120 day period of time.
If you are doing the EEG Biofeedback training, consider using the "Attend" product while doing the training. We feel that using both can enhance the EEG training, and speed up the process (and lower the over-all cost of the EEG training).
Why We Like ATTEND More Than Ritalin
- "Attend" works almost as well, and does not have the potential serious side-effects of Stimulant Medications. See our articles on FDA Black Box Warnings.
Yes Stimulant Medications work, and work quickly. But make sure that your physician knows what he or she is doing.
If you are going to use stimulant medications , also consider using small doses of the "Attend" nutraceutical product at the same time.
We have see many children and teens decrease their effective, or optimal dose of stimulants by 50% or more, ie. a child receiving great benefit from three 10mg doses of Ritalin might receive the same benefit from three 5mg doses of Ritalin plus the Attend. The Attend takes about 30 to 45 days to really take effect.
ALWAYS talk with your physician before making any changes to medications.
Stimulant medications are not toys. These drugs are powerful interventions for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. They can be a sharp two-edged sword, offering great benefit but with potential serious side-effects, so treat them with respect.

The ATTEND Formula
Here is a rare radio interview with Gregory Young, Ph.D., Oxon., Neuroscientist and developer of Attend. This is from one of Dr Cowan's old "Your Family's Health" radio program from c.1999 on KERI radio. It is about 14 minutes long and is very interesting and quite in-depth.

The ATTEND Homeopathic Medicine Formula Details
- L- Valine- increases cognitive function and smooths nervous system functioning.
- L- Tyrosine- used by the brain to produce Dopamine and Norepinephrine.
Tyrosine has been shown to increase concentration, decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression. Best used in conjunction with vitamin B6. It is the parent compound for the manufacture of Norepinephrine and Epinephrine in the adrenal medulla, and of the hormones thyroxin and triiodothyronine by the thyroid gland.
- L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L- Cysteine - also helps to detoxify the body and promote healing.
- L- Cystine - strengthens the immune system, reduces damage from free-radicals, works to repair RNA-DNA in the cells, helps in the assimilation of vitamin B6.
- DL- Methionine - belongs to the lipotropic group of amino acids, supports the liver's manufacturing of lecithin (Phosphatidylcholine), and helps to chelate heavy metals from the body's tissues.
- L- Glutamic Acid - washes debris and cleanses the CNS so that you may think better and are calmer. It is involved in the creation of Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), improves overall brain health, improves attitude and mental performance.
- Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) - essential for normal inhibitory functions of the CNS.
It has been said that 70% of the brain is there to inhibit the other 30% of the brain. Certainly part of the problem with ADD ADHD can be classified as a "dis-inhibition disorder". GABA is an essential factor in the brain's inhibitory functions.
- Glycine - a neurotransmitter.
Also necessary for the immune system, for health of the thymus gland, spleen, and bone marrow. Helps to maintain adequate amounts of ATP in the muscles. Necessary for balanced white cell production.
- L- Glutathione - a free radical scavenger, helps to detoxify the body.
- Pyridoxine HCL- B6 - may help to increase serotonin levels in the brain.
- Calcium Pantothenate - necessary for normal cell function.
- Magnesium Aspartate - necessary for normal cell function.
- OptiZinc - to help regulate protein synthesis in the body.
Zinc deficiencies in children is associated with both behavior problems and mental retardation. Zinc is also helpful in building the immune system.
- Niacinamide-B3 - works with B6 and DLPA to increase serotonin levels in the blood and brain.
- Radix Heraclei, Gotu Kola, Gingko Biloba - to improve blood flow in the brain. May enhance memory and cognitive functioning.
- ChromeMate - to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
- DMAE - helps to "open up" neural pathways in the brain. Also acts to disolve lipofuscin on nerve pathways, thereby decreasing neurological "interference".
DMAE is also an acetycholine precurser. DMAE is basically a Choline molecule with one methyl group missing from the nitrogen. DMAE is more able to cross the blood-brain barrier than Choline. Once inside the brain, an enzyme performs a methylation that converts DMAE into Choline. So, taking DMAE increases the brain's potential to make neurotransmitters.
It helps with mood elevation, improvement of memory and learning, intelligence increases, and increases in the life span of laboratory animals.
- Pycnogenol, and Pine Bark Extract x4 - which are powerful antioxidants that can easily pass the blood/brain barrier.
They act to provide protection to CNS tissues and strengthen capillaries in the brain, plus act as free-radical scavengers throughout the body.
- DL- Phenylalanine - used by the brain in the manufacturing of dopamine and norepinepherin, which are excitatory neurotransmitters, which function to improve learning and memory.
DLPA increases energy, decreases depression and pain, increases helps to process proteins, often converted to tyrosine.
- NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - Coenzyme 1) - an enzyme stored in every cell of the body and used in the production of energy of each cell, may help to improve memory functions and learning, thought to increase the production of dopamine in the brain as well as noradrenaline and acetylcholine, may help to protect neural pathways.
-
- Catechol - a catecholamine precursor.
- A complete Endomembrane Lipid Complex including Phosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylethanolamine, Phosphatidylserine, and Phosphatidylinositol.
Phosphatidylcholine is found in every living cell, with its highest concentration found in vital organs such as the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys.
In the brain Phosphatidylcholine is transformed into acetylcholine, which is vital to the transmission of neural impulses. It has been shown to enhance memory and cognitive abilities.
- A complete Fatty Acid (Omega Oil) Complex including Medium Chain Triglycerides, Lauric, Myristic, Palmitic, Palmitoleic, Stearic, Arachidic Acid, Oleic, Linolenic, EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid), Decosanoic Acid, DHA (Decosahexaenoic Acid), Linoleic, GLA (Gamma linolanic Acid), Ecicosatrienoci Acid, and Arachidonic Acid.
Fatty Acids have been shown to be beneficial to the nervous system and to the body's immune system, as well as other vital health benefits.
New research is show Essential Fatty Acids to be highly effective in reducing the symptoms of ADHD.
DHA and Arachidonic Acid - exceptionally important long chain fatty acids. They are essential for normal brain development in infants and in children.
Attend also contains homeopathic remedies to reduce symptoms of hyperactivity and depression.
The formula is an extremely well balanced combination of "brain foods". This formula is years ahead of other labs in the development of non-prescription treatments for ADD ADHD.

The ATTEND Homeopathic Medicine Formula Details
L- Valine, increases cognitive function and smoothes nervous system functioning.
L- Tyrosine, used by the brain to produce Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Tyrosine has been shown to increase concentration, decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression. Best used in conjunction with vitamin B6. It is the parent compound for the manufacture of Norepinephrine and Epinephrine in the adrenal medulla, and of the hormones thyroxin and triiodothyronine by the thyroid gland.
L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L- Cysteine, also helps to detoxify the body and promote healing, L- Cystine, strengthens the immune system, reduces damage from free-radicals, works to repair RNA-DNA in the cells, helps in the assimilation of vitamin B6.
DL- Methionine, belongs to the lipotropic group of amino acids, supports the liver's manufacturing of lecithin (Phosphatidylcholine), and helps to chelate heavy metals from the body's tissues.
L- Glutamic Acid, washes debris and cleanses the CNS so that you may think better and are calmer. It is involved in the creation of Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), improves overall brain health, improves attitude and mental performance.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), essential for normal inhibitory functions of the CNS. It has been said that 70% of the brain is there to inhibit the other 30% of the brain. Certainly part of the problem with ADD ADHD can be classified as a "dis-inhibition disorder". GABA is an essential factor in the brain's inhibitory functions.
Glycine, a neurotransmitter. Also necessary for the immune system, for health of the thymus gland, spleen, and bone marrow. Helps to maintain adequate amounts of ATP in the muscles. Necessary for balanced white cell production.
L- Glutathione, a free radical scavenger, helps to detoxify the body.
Pyridoxine HCL- B6, may help to increase seritonin levels in the brain.
Calcium Pantothenate, necessary for normal cell function.
Magnesium Aspartate, necessary for normal cell function.
OptiZinc, to help regulate protein synthesis in the body. Zinc deficiencies in children is associated with both behavior problems and mental retardation. Zinc is also helpful in building the immune system.
Niacinamide-B3, works with B6 and DLPA to increase seritonin levels in the blood and brain.
Radix Heraclei, Gotu Kola, Gingko Biloba, to improve blood flow in the brain. May enhance memory and cognitive functioning.
ChromeMate, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
DMAE, helps to "open up" neural pathways in the brain. Acts to disolve lipofuscin on nerve pathways, thereby decreasing neurological "interference". It is also an acetycholine precurser, DMAE is basically a Choline molecule with one methyl group missing from the nitrogen. DMAE is more able to cross the blood-brain barrier than Choline. Once inside the brain, an enzyme performs a methylation that converts DMAE into Choline. So, taking DMAE increases the brain's potential to make neurotransmitters. Helps with mood elevation, improvement of memory and learning, intelligence increases, and increases in the life span of laboratory animals.
Pycnogenol, and Pine Bark Extract x4, which are powerful antioxidants that can easily pass the blood/brain barrier. They act to provide protection to CNS tissues and strengthen capillaries in the brain, plus act as free-radical scavengers throughout the body.
DL- Phenylalanine, used by the brain in the manufacturing of dopamine and norepinepherin, which are excitatory neurotransmitters, which function to improve learning and memory. DLPA increases energy, decreases depression and pain, increases helps to process proteins, often converted to tyrosine.
NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - Coenzyme 1), an enzyme stored in every cell of the body and used in the production of energy of each cell, may help to improve memory functions and learning, thought to increase the production of dopamine in the brain as well as noradrenaline and acetylcholine, may help to protect neural pathways.
Catechol, a catecholamine precurser.
A complete Endomembrane Lipid Complex including Phosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylethanolamine, Phosphatidylserine, and Phosphatidylinositol. Phosphatidylcholine is found in every living cell, with its highest concentration found in vital organs such as the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys. In the brain Phosphatidylcholine is transformed into acetylcholine, which is vital to the transmission of neural impulses. It has been shown to enhance memory and cognitive abilities.
A complete Fatty Acid (Omega Oil) Complex including Medium Chain Triglycerides, Lauric, Myristic, Palmitic, Palmitoleic, Stearic, Arachidic Acid, Oleic, Linolenic, EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid), Decosanoic Acid, DHA (Decosahexaenoic Acid), Linoleic, GLA (Gamma linolanic Acid), Ecicosatrienoci Acid, and Arachidonic Acid. Fatty acids have been shown to be beneficial to the nervous system and to the body's immune system, as well as other vital health benefits.
DHA and Arachidonic Acid are exceptionally important long chain fatty acids. They are essential for normal brain development in infants and in children.
Attend also contains homeopathic remedies to reduce symptoms of hyperactivity and depression.
The formula is an extremely well balanced combination of "brain foods". This formula is years ahead of other labs in the development of non-prescription treatments for ADD/ADHD.

Attend Contains Hypothalamus
Q: ATTENDS has Hypothalamus as an ingredient. Hypothalamus is part of the
Brain. From what animal is your source derived and is it screened for MAD
Cow Diseasel, which comes from the Brain of animals.
Answer from VAXA: Thank you for the inquiry. That is actually an easy answer. Those
ingredients come from pig. Pigs are genetically compatible with humans and
just as replacement heart valves and intestine come from pigs, so to do many
commonly used medicinals. I must note that the pigs used here in Attend
come from farms that raise pigs specifically for medicinal purposes and use
for humans. Furthermore since these are Homeopathics not even 1 molecule of
the original substance remains. I hope this helps.

Attend and FDA Recognition Status
The following is a reply to a question regarding ATTEND and its NDC number with the FDA. The reply is from Daniel Giddens, Customer Service Supervisor for VAXA International. We hope that it may serve to answer some of your questions regarding Attend and its status with the FDA. - ed
Thank you for taking the time to write us your concerns, hopefully I can clear up some of the misunderstanding. Växa International moved from California to Florida in 1999 in an effort to provide better customer service to our clientele, as California is 4 hours behind East Coast time.
Attend is a recognized as an alternative to pharmaceutical ADHD medications and has been available since 1987. Although Attend is not FDA approved (due to it being a natural product) it contains Homeopathics and is therefore recognized by the United States government as an Over the Counter medication (OTC). Due to this we have been assigned an NDC# (National Drug Control) for Attend; that NDC# is 67514-0266-3.
In order to verify the NDC # you must contact the FDA directly and tell them it is for a Homeopathic. There website will not list anything other than Pharmaceutical medications (ed.note - at this time the database seems to have only medications for diabetes treatment) which is why calling direct is important.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Because of their long use in the United States, the U.S. Congress passed a law in 1938 declaring that homeopathic remedies are to be regulated by the FDA in the same manner as nonprescription, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, which means that they can be purchased without a physician's prescription. Today, although conventional prescription drugs and new OTC drugs must undergo thorough testing and review by the FDA for safety and effectiveness before they can be sold, this requirement does not apply to homeopathic remedies.
Remedies are required to meet certain legal standards for strength, quality, purity, and packaging. In 1988, the FDA required that all homeopathic remedies list the indications for their use (i.e., the medical problems to be treated) on the label.
The FDA also requires the label to list ingredients, dilutions, and instructions for safe use.
The guidelines for homeopathic remedies are found in an official guide, the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. The Pharmacopoeia also includes provisions for testing new remedies and verifying their clinical effectiveness. Remedies on the market before 1962 have been accepted into the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States based on historical use, rather than scientific evidence from clinical trials.
Vaxa International meets all standards for manufacturing and production practices set forth by the FDA, which includes having an FDA attorney, and using a GMP Certified ‘A-Rated’ lab.
The Natural Products Association (formerly NNFA) praised President Bush's signing into law the Dietary Supplement and Non-Prescription Drug Consumer Protection Act (the "AER bill"), S. 3546. The legislation, which had cleared the 109th Congress in its final hours, will amend the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to require the reporting of "serious" adverse events for both over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and dietary supplements to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The bill was overwhelmingly supported by dietary supplement retailers, and suppliers who welcomed its passage as further proof that the industry is well-regulated and committed to consumer safety.
"Our top priority is providing the products that people want to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives," said David Taylor, president of the Natural Products Association. "So we welcome and support reasonable legislation like this because it will help consumers and the public understand what we have known for some time -- that our industry is made up of good people who make good products and stand by them."
The bipartisan legislation was introduced in the Senate in June of this year by Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and includes several provisions that were instrumental in earning the Natural Products Association's support. Among these key provisions are those requiring that only serious adverse events, not just any complaint, be reported; exempting retail stores from reporting directly to the FDA and preempting a potential patchwork of state laws on the issue.
"The industry has long supported passing this legislation and views it as the responsible, right thing to do," said David Seckman, the Natural Products Association's executive director and CEO. "This law is further proof that the dietary supplement industry is well-regulated and puts consumers first."
The Natural Products Association (www.NaturalProductsAssoc.org) is the nation's largest and oldest non-profit organization dedicated to the natural products industry. The association represents nearly 10,000 retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of natural products, including foods, dietary supplements, and health and beauty aids.

Attend is the Best Value
ATTEND can be as helpful as Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine, or Strattera, but without the side-effects.
When used with other advanced products in a specific treatment strategy, ATTEND is a powerful natural homeopathic intervention.
Other Alternative Herbal Remedies

- SEE a SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON between "ATTEND" and "BeCALM'd" and "Focus"
- LOOK at the difference in formulas, guarantees, effectiveness, and value
- SEE the ATTEND difference, and then decide which is the best alternative treatment for ADHD for you
- SEE the ATTEND formula in detail here
- SEE the CLINICAL TRIAL RESULTS of ATTEND here
- SEE our Comparison between Stimulant Medications, EEG Biofeedback training, and the ATTEND Nutraceutical over a 30 day period of time using a computerized Neuro-Cognitive continuous performance test (TOVA).
We also noted that the longer a subject used ATTEND, the better the outcomes.
Because ATTEND is a nutritional product it gradually helps the body function more optimally. In the same way that weight training takes three or four months to really make a noticeable difference in your body, nutritional medicines often take a while to make a difference as well.
By the way, we had some college athletes in a clinical trial.
Each athlete tested in the "normal" or even "better than normal" ranges on the baseline CPT, especially in measured reaction time (measured in 1000ths of a second). Each athlete was tested at baseline, at 30 days, at 60 days, and at 90 days. Each athlete continued to improve his performance as measured by the computer testing during each test administration.
Reaction time especially improved, which was exciting, as that is a good measure of neurological performance. Their use of ATTEND continued to improve their performance.
The longer they used Attend the better their performance.
As a result, we are also recommending Attend for athletes wishing to achieve peak levels of performance.
Extress for ADHD
Extress and ADHD
We have found that Extress is an excellent remedy for certain symptoms common to ADHD, especially
- temper and/or explosive outbursts
- hyperactivity or excessive motor restlessness
- anxiety or worry
- hyper-vigilance, or being easily startled
- having to touch everything
When used with Attend a broad spectrum of ADHD symptoms can be addressed.
We highly recommend its use for:
- "Tigger type ADHD," with hyperactivity, restlessness, bouncy-ness
- "Piglet type ADHD," with its anxiety and worry issues
- "Eeyore type ADHD" with its sadness or depression
- "Over Focused type ADHD" with its rigid thinking and anxiety
We also recommend it for all of you parents of ADHD kids!
Developed by a neuro-psychologist, Extress can also be very useful for anyone with anxiety, problems sleeping, tension or stress, or even some phobias.
Extress is the most popular product for our family, helping the Mrs. to feel less anxious and to sleep during certain hormonal changes, and helping others with stress related symptoms. Our family is never without it.
According to VAXA International, the company that owns and manufacturers Extress, this excellent product is a scientifically advanced homeopathic medicinal that provides the body its nutritional needs during periods of stress, tension, anxiety, minor phobic reactions or generalized anxious discomfort.
This formula contains a specific combination of amino acids as precursors to a series of neurotransmitters within the brain. Extress helps the body to naturally relax our muscles, helping us to avoid getting headache and backaches, etc. When these nutritional requirements have been appropriately addressed, the conscious mind is allowed to effortlessly become refocused without the bother of anxiety and stress.
The company reports that when stress increases, total caloric needs increase and are usually met by the breakdown of protein into amino acids, sugars and phosphate bonds. At least 30% of the diet should be made up of amino acids when the body is under stress because stress breaks down protein at an amazing rate.
Also of some secondary interest to athletes, these same amino acids used by the body to inhibit the breakdown of protein are used by the body to build up muscle tissue. When exercising, stress is encountered within the body and if sufficient free form amino acids are not available, especially those amino acids found within this formula, catabolic (the breaking down of cellular material) reaction will not be offset by anabolic (building up) reactions.
Extress was originally marketed to athletes under a different label, by the way.

Manufacturing Standards of Attend
Here is the information from the VAXA web site on manufacturing standards. It can be found online at http://www.vaxa.com/manufacturing-standards.cfm
The Växa top 1% Manufacturing Standard
There Are 1037 Nutritional Manufacturing Facilities in The U.S., but only one Passed Our Rigorous 7 Step Examination
Less than ½ of 1% of the nutritional manufacturing facilities in the country match the exacting standards followed in the Växa facility. Our products are manufactured in a lab that follows standards beyond those suggested under Good Manufacturing Procedure (GMP) guidelines.
- Clinical Lab Conditions:
No Contamination The manufacturing lab is a clinical environment with all stainless steel construction. To clean the lab we utilize UV sterilization, carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, ozone injection, mix bed de-ionization and boiler kettle our own water. This procedure is above kosher requirements.
- Precise Environmental Standards:
No Contamination Each room has its own air handler that completely exchanges the air 50 times per hour. Pure, clean air is a critical element in manufacturing a pure product. There are so many contaminants in the air that a state of the art air scrubbing system is a necessity. Many facilities just have a dust handler and rely on the air conditioning system to fight to replace the air. You might as well make the product in the parking lot. The temperature is at a constant 71 degrees and the humidity is less than 35%.
- Particle Sizing Means Greater Absorbency:
Every Capsule Has the Same Ingredient Mix The key element of our manufacturing process is particle sizing. Simply put, all of the elements come in different particle sizes. Picture BBs, ping-pong balls, golfballs, baseballs, softballs, and basketballs. Improper mixing yields batches that have all of the basketballs balls at the top and the BBs at the bottom. This would mean that each capsule has a different mix of ingredients (those early in the loading process - too many basketballs). We use cold process pulverization to take all particles to the same size - everything is a BB. Smaller particle size means that the body assimilates the elements more readily.
- Blending Process Reduces Oxidation:
Capsules Have Longer Lasting Potency The product is weighed and blended in a static and gravity free environment. This incorporates 100% batch involvement in the mixing process with no dead spots. While in the blending process, the ambient air has been removed and replaced with stable nitrogen, which is heavier than air and reduces oxidation and process contamination. The bulk material is weight validated to assure batch size compliance, then formulation and quality control verified for batch uniformity. The lab signs off on weight sheets to make sure that everything that was supposed to go in went in.
Capsules are Loaded One at A Time In the encapsulation department, pharmaceutical standard, GMP certified machines employ the dose tamping method. Powder goes into the machine then is tamped with pins into the capsule to the milligram of accuracy. This process is done one capsule at a time. During this process, at 5- minute intervals, a person will test to validate quantities. The capsules are polished, dust is removed, and they are hand inspected to see that they are not dented, scratched, or broken. The finished product is analyzed using high-pressure liquid chromatography, which creates a quantitative analysis of a compound. Then a mass spectrometer is used to create a qualitative analysis. This creates the blue print that all future capsules must match.
- Every Capsule We Make is Within a 1% Weight Tolerance:
No Short Cuts At the end of the production process, checks are run to insure that the product weighs what it should. Industry standards allow +/- 5% failure tolerances. We insist on a tolerance of +/- 1%. Many manufacturers cut corners here. It is in their interest to do so as 5% less material in each capsule adds up to serious costs saved over time.
- "Acceptable Contamination Levels" are 1/10th of Industry Standards
- Finally, a macro-biological test is done to make sure that the lab did not contaminate the product.
- Växa's standards are 1,000% higher than what the industry allows (than what other companies permit as "normal").
In the end, each batch comes with a certificate of analysis and has a National Drug Control number. Once it is manufactured and packaged, the product is then tested by lot to ensure quality control, stability, consistency, weight, and content. Time series and dating analysis are performed twice on all lots, first at the lab and then when received as a finished product by Växa. Strict controls of inventory dating and ongoing computer evaluations are performed daily, while total rechecks of inventory are performed each month.
