Information on ADHDDescription Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavior problem characterized by a short attention span, low frustration tolerance, impulsivity, distractibility, and usually, hyperactivity. This can result in poor school performance, difficulty in peer relationships, and conflict between parent and child. Causes Recent research indicates neurotransmitter abnormalities, e.g., decreased activity or stimulation in upper brainstem and frontal-midbrain tracts. Toxins, neurologic immaturity, and environmental problems have also been hypothesized. Many factors generate symptoms that closely resemble ADHD, including sensitivities to food additives (artificial food colors, flavorings, and preservatives), intolerances to foods (corn, wheat, milk, soy, oranges, eggs, or chocolate), nutrient deficiencies and imbalances, heavy metal intoxication, and toxic pollutant burden. Also, evidence is mounting that abnormal thyroid responsiveness, perhaps engendered perinatally by environmental pollutants, is on the rise and predisposes to ADHD. Sugar intake makes a marked contribution to hyperactive, aggressive, and destructive behavior. A large study found that 74 percent of hyperactive children manifested abnormal glucose tolerance in response to a sucrose meal. Children exposed acutely or chronically to lead, arsenic, aluminum, mercury, or cadmium are often left with permanent neurological sequelae that include attentional deficits, emotional lability, and behavioral reactivity. ADHD is associated with poor prenatal health (preeclampsia, drug and alcohol use, smoking). ADHD is associated with, but not caused by: Learning disabilities, Tourette's, Mood disorders, Oppositional defiant disorder, and Conduct disorder. Lead poisoning and Medication reactions (decongestant, antihistamine, theophylline, phenobarbital) may cause similar symptoms. Conventional Labs Specialty Lab Tests Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address it. Phone consults are my specialty. Please call my at (239) 659-2684 to schedule a consultation.
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
