Robert Tennenbaum is a dedicated professional with years of experience and knowledge in homeopathy. I am writing on behalf of my daughter "S". At the time of our first visit with Robert my daughter was age 5 and nearing the end of kindergarten, she had been clinically diagnosed as ADHD and a sensory kid. To describe her personality would be to say that she is very outgoing, always wants to be the center of attention, and has a twinkle in her eye.

In preschool she received special services for fine motor delay, sensory integration dysfunction and speech/language delay which in hindsight all work together, as these problems are all connected in the body, not isolated. In kindergarten she also received special services for part of the year; she improved and was released from services being up to appropriate age level tasks in the school environment. However, the one thing that had not changed was that she was still "ADHD"; highly distractible, not able to finish class work, in and out of her seat, socially she would either get in trouble for talking too much and too often, or say something that would hurt her friends feelings. Homework was torture for us both. It never took less than 45 minutes to complete what should have taken 10-15 minutes.

I suppose I could have just left things alone, after all, my husband was diagnosed as a kid and still is ADHD, school was always challenging for him and tudors were the answer for him at that time. But I felt that we needed to do something more to really help her, I didn't want her to have to struggle in school the way my husband had. Family time had become increasingly stressful. I had considered meds for ADHD for a fleeting moment, but was met with strong resistance from my husband. What do we do now? There must be a better way than using those drugs with their horrible side effects for our little girl. I was fortunate that I found Robert through the school psychologist at my daughters' school. I have to admit I was not that knowledgeable about homeopathy before working with Robert but I was willing to give a holistic healing approach a try. I was at the end of rope, and "S" still had her whole little life ahead of her.

Our first meeting was quite an experience for me, I felt that I was talking to a psychiatrist with all the questions about her behavior, her undeniable jealousy toward her younger brother since the day he was born, food likes, what time of the night does this and that happen, is it left or right sided, does she always hide behind things when people are around, does she always lick her lips? But most intriguing was Robert's interest in "S's" night terrors, physicians of all calibers would dismiss these as something that just happens in childhood. These 20 minute ordeals would happen nightly and we could not wake her from them. Other symptoms that I thought were part of life as a kid but did not even realize were all connected were the 2 or 3 ear infections she would get each year, Spontaneous nosebleeds, Rash on her buttocks that would go away temporarily with antibiotic cream, Her daily resistance to do homework including all reading and writing.

When "S" started first grade (just about 6 months after the first visit with Robert) I noticed something remarkable, "S" would sit down to do her homework without me even asking, and would do her reading and writing assignments asking for assistance only when needed. She started to pick up books in her spare time and just read for the fun of it. All through first grade she maintained an unbelievable to me 99 average. She was now the first to finish tests, but wouldn't double check her work and subsequently she would get an answer wrong. Her gym teacher commented to me how much better she had become at spatial awareness during gym classes.

"S" is now in second grade and continues to maintain a 99 average in school and actively looks to read a chapter book at any time she has nothing else to do. After a change of remedy to address her continued jealousy toward her brother and 3 months time "S" now asks her brother to play together and willingly includes him in games and activities. From a mothers perspective that is a wonderful thing. During the first year of homeopathy my husband and I hadn't told anyone that "S" was seeing a homeopath, we did not want to have input of any kind from anyone. At about the 1 year mark several family members had commented that she seemed calmer and more focused. Only then did we tell the family of our success with homeopathy.

Homeopathy done correctly takes time. Most of us have been conditioned to think every pain or symptom is isolated and can be cured with a pill and we expect immediate results. Robert would remind me that some of the symptoms that "S" had had been with her for all of her life and that it will take some time to CURE her. It was difficult to grasp that she would be cured of all that ails her. But Robert did cure her! "S" hasn't had an ear infection in a year and a half, nosebleeds no longer happen, night terrors are gone, the rash has not returned. The ADHD is no longer an issue. We can finally see and appreciate the beauty in "S's" bubbly personality.

I highly recommend Robert Tennenbaum to anyone who is interested in a cure as opposed to suppression. Recently my husband became a patient of Robert's. As for my daughter, she continues to be healthy and balanced and our family feels a great sense of calm.
