ADD Remedies - What 'Really' Causes ADD / ADHD?

Girl Watching TV ImageIt's a question that is literally asked every day  . . . and that most pill-happy doctors unfortunately just don't know the answer to.

If you look in general medical literature, it'll tell you that ADD and ADHD are caused by a lack of neurotransmitters firing in your child's brain.

And while it's true that children (and adults) who suffer from ADD/ADHD do show 'differences' in the way their neurotransmitters function, that's really more of a 'symptom' of a problem than an actual cause.

In reality, what we call ADD/ADHD is caused by a number of factors including:

  • Genetics - if you have ADD/ADHD (or show ADD/ADHD-like symptoms since it's only been in the last 20 years that it's been "in-vogue" to diagnose and medicate ADD/ADHD) then your children are more likely to have ADD/ADHD as well.
  • Nutrition - Have you seen what most kids eat today?
  • Family life - how much personal attention a child gets and how much time they spend passively entertained by a TV.
  • Allergies - which can play havoc with your child's brain chemistry and ability to pay attention.

Or maybe a combination of everything above and more.

So how do you figure out what's causing 'your' child's ADD/ADHD?

Unfortunately, figuring out the real root cause of your child's ADD/ADHD can be pretty tough.

There's no magic machine out there that can tell us 'exactly' what's causing your child's ADD/ADHD and tell us just what to do to 'fix' it.

But here are some tips to help you become an "ADD/ADHD" detective and figure out what's keeping your beautiful boy or girl from focusing on what's in front of them and excelling in school.

1. Make a list of relatives who show ADD/ADHD like symptoms. Uncles, cousins, parents and grandparents are all game. If you show a large number of relatives who seem to have ADD/ADHD (even if they've never been diagnosed) you're probably looking at a genetic component.

2. Keep a journal of what your child eats on a daily basis. Just take a piece of paper and write down what your child eats, what time they eat it and how much they have. If you see a lot of processed foods and junk foods on that list, you might have your culprit right there.

3. Make a journal of your child's physical and mental activity. How much time a day are they spending running, jumping, skipping or getting other exercise?  How much time are they spending camped out on the couch or just playing video games?

Once you follow these three steps you should have a pretty good view of your child's life . . .and of the factors that could be contributing to their ADD/ADHD.

Later I'll dive into the nutrition equation and talk about simple changes you can make to your child's diet to lessen the symptoms of ADD/ADHD.

To learn more about how you can fight your child's ADD/ADHD safely and without drugs . . . and to hear incredible success stories of children who cured their own ADD/ADHD, get the 'Treat ADHD Naturally Remedy Report'.

Did you miss the news whirlwind in which it was proven that Ritalin has absolutely zero positive effect in treating ADD/ADHD in the long term? You can learn all about it by Clicking Here.

The New Science Of Epigenetics Shows Promise For Nutritional Medicine, While Big Pharma Funds Bogus Studies.

DNA strand

The bad news is Doctors like Joseph Biederman are spending millions of the drug industry’s money in a smear campaign against natural remedies for ADHD. The good news is, real progress is being made in the emerging field of epigenetics, which supports natural complementary alternatives.

More and more we are seeing bogus clinical studies being carried out by researchers who are being financed by special interest groups. In spite of the fact that Dr. Biederman spent $1.6 million in a desperate attempt to discredit the efficacy of St. John’s Wort, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) still published it without disclosing the truth.

Besides the fact that ADHD isn’t a real disease or illness in the first place, Dr. Biederman went out of his way to render the herb useless and inactive before the study even began. Hmmm makes me think.

I mean come on . . . the cat is out of the bag here. ADHD is something some Swedish psychiatrists made up to sell drugs to children. There simply is no physiological evidence to back up the claim.

Imagine the amount of power these corporations have to be able to get away with testing an inactive herb on a fake disease and then actually get it published. Well that says a mouthful about the American Medical Associations stakes doesn’t it?

So far these powerful psychological drugs have increased teen suicide rates, chemically-induced violence and stunted children’s normal development, not to speak of the weight gain, diabetes and heart issues that we keep seeing . . .

Mainstream medicine is not looking for truth . . . they only have one agenda . . . to sell more drugs and lots of them.

To close the matter, St. John’s Wort has been clinically proven to be very effective as an anti-depressant. Truth is it works better than Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) drugs in mild and moderate cases.

For Years They’ve Been Wrong But Soon They’ll Have To Admit It.

For more than 150 years scientists have presumed that any changes made to an organism (human, animal or otherwise) could not be passed along to the next generation. This may seem off the subject but hear me out . . .

Today excited epigeneticists are paying attention to the epigenome, a vast array of proteins created by the RNA. The RNA in the past has always taken a back seat to the DNA, until now.

Consider this . . .

The total genetic material you have inherited from your parents is as little as 15 percent of your genes. This new science has leading scientists convinced that if you lose weight, eat nutrient rich food and improved your health that your children would benefit from your health. Imagine that!

This is groundbreaking news which Big Pharma will “do anything” to keep you from discovering.

The future of medicine is here today
.

Imagine, by changing your diet today you can help prevent disease from attacking future generations.

This breakthrough is signaling the end of the “chemical dark age” . . . drugs will not have the clout that they hold today.

Chemicals will always have their place, but NOT in the marketplace and not in school children.

You see the other 85 percent of your genes, the epigenome, functions as an interface or antennae array that interacts with your environment . . . that means your food, nutrients and lifestyle you enjoy has a tremendous affect on your health, much more than some people want to admit. Therefore they will spend any amount of money and even publish false studies to sway the media and you to the contrary.

The epigenome controls your master switch board, changing the way your RNA translates your genetic code and the proteins that make you healthy, physically and psychologically well.

Every child who has the benefit of developing with ample nutrients, a healthy environment and genuine love shows amazing traits of genius in one form or another. Studies have shown that this innate intelligence can be negatively affected by poor nutrition, stress and lack of attention.

Children are especially sensitive to these changes between the ages of 8 and 12. In this juncture they either show signs of positive acceleration or they can begin to lag behind.

Genius can be nurtured!

Simple nutrients like vitamin B12, folate, choline and zinc play a significant role in a child’s healthy development both psychologically and physically. If a diet of fast foods and soda pop can wreck havoc on an adult’s health, imagine the impact on a developing child.

Children today are suffering record amounts of hypertension, obesity and diabetes as well as a whole spectrum of autoimmune deficiencies and imbalances . . . need I say more?

The bottom line is, before giving in to Big Pharma’s propaganda to pressure you or your child into taking dangerous and potent drugs, for anything . . .please do everyone a favor and seek natural complementary alternative medicine first.

I forget which American Indian tribe it was . . . if you know please tell me, I think it was the Lakota tribe that considered what impact their actions would have on the next SEVEN generations. I feel these are great words of wisdom for us today, especially when it comes to ingesting drugs . . . and protecting our children’s children.

I thank you once again for taking the time to do your own due diligence and searching for the truth about your health . . . truth, like great ideas, can only grow when it is shared and increase it’s
genuine qualities.

Live well,

ADHD Researchers Engage In Fraudulent Studies On Children That Border On Scientific Racism

More and more I see rogue researchers trying to create false scientific data to manipulate the public. Throughout history sound scientific truth has controlled the political world. Today corporations and special interest lobbyists are attempting to usurp science.

Their goal is to ultimately control science with policy.

Consider the fact that never before in the history of the world have we ever seen the mass drugging of children. Billions of pharmaceutical dollars are invested in prescribing psychotropic drugs to control the brains and inevitably the minds of this rising generation.

The numbers are shocking.

According to a comparison based on a new U.K. study, US children are prescribed anti-psychotic drugs at about six times the rate of children in the United Kingdom.
 
Does it mean U.S. kids are being over-treated? Or that U.K. children are being under-treated?

Experts say that’s beside the point, because use is rising in both countries. And with absolutely ZERO long-term safety data, it’s obvious the drugs are being over-prescribed for both U.S. and U.K. children.

The truth is most medicines being prescribed haven’t even been officially approved for kids. The most commonly prescribed drugs are for behavior and conduct disorders, which include attention deficit disorder, and an increasing percentage being prescribed for autism.

Side effects including weight gain, nervous-system problems and heart trouble and even cases of death have been reported in children using these dangerous drugs.

In fact they are just beginning to recommend heart testing be done on kids now that they have noticed more fatalities.

It seems they will stop at nothing to justify selling drugs to children. They used to sell Thioridazine to treat hyperactivity, until they found out it was damaging young hearts. In the U.K they prescribe a drug used for schizophrenia (Risperdal) to treat irritability . . .

How many children really need drugs . . . especially seeing how there are plenty of proven, safe ways to help hyperactivity and autism using diet, exercise and natural remedies?

Many pediatricians are standing up against the insanity and challenging the claim that ADHD is really a “disease” at all. So to defend themselves researchers for Big Pharma are claiming brain scans of children diagnosed with ADHD are “smaller” and less developed.

This is outrageous!!!

Not only does this atrocious act reek of Nazi racial politics remnant from WWII craniometry propaganda, but also all these kids scanned were under the influence of mind-altering drugs. The test is a lie!

You heard that right. Nazi racial policies claimed that the "size" and shape of a person’s head determined intelligence. Of course this has been debunked. Head size and shape has actually been shown to be influenced more by environment, NOT genetics.

Skull and brain size is NOT a marker for intelligence.

Today’s Pharma-researchers are using the same atrocious programs to justify exploring genetics and other biological markers that the Nazis used to influence the masses. Except now they are scanning defenseless children’s brains, chemically altering their nervous systems and stunting their growth.

As far as I am concerned this is all about pleasing share holders and ensuring future investors for Big Pharma.

Bottom line . . . there is NO evidence of the existence of ADHD. There is NO medical test to diagnose it. There are NO specific cognitive, metabolic or neurological markers for ADHD.

ADHD is a political invention diagnosed on the basis of clinical opinion and personal belief of a practitioner . . . but it is NOT a biological fact.

If you’re not upset by what Big Pharma policies are doing to our children, you are simply not paying attention. The best way to fight back is to claim responsibility for your health and encourage others to do the same. The evidence-based science is easy to find and more and more natural alternatives are being discovered everyday.

Please don’t stop looking until you find your own healthy solutions. Thank you for reading my letter today, I just had to share that with you. It gets me angry when they pull this stuff.

The Most Important Thing You Can Do For You Child

•  www.bartonpublishing.com news service
•  Martin Jacobse


Don’t judge your child by the tales of others.
It is important to keep things in perspective so we don’t lose our true priorities. After all it is our perspective that molds the world we see. Learning, whether in a private setting or a public setting is not for the sake of learning but is only a means of self discovery.

Self discipline comes from discovering who you are and what you love to do. It is that discovery of love which cultivates true self discipline. Forcing anyone to do something is not a true means for self development. The challenge with motivating ourselves as well as motivating our children and students is “inspiration.”

We can not expect to be fair if we cannot place ourselves in another’s shoes. If your child or your student is having difficulty sitting still in class, do you really believe drugging the child is the answer for improving learning capabilities?

Millions of children are being victimized by this pharmaceutical propaganda, and the teachers and parents are ultimately accountable, not the corporations that sell the products. Is Coca-Cola responsible for selling the idea of putting pop vending machines in our public schools? No, the superintendent that accepted the money for sponsoring Coca Cola and the PTA for allowing it is responsible.

There are better ways for raising money to buy computers than commercializing our learning institutions, don’t you agree? As far as the mass drugging of American children goes, is that the kind of “Drug Free Zone” Nancy Reagan intended? Or, I mean “Free Drug Zone?”

If “the goal” is not reached, don’t be tempted to change the goal . . . but change the steps necessary to reach the goal. Drugging students clearly changes the goal rather than the method of teaching. If the public education system has failed, let us admit it. Let’s not change the children by forcing them to take dangerous schedule class II drugs, let’s instead change the way we teach.

Seriously, have we even thought about what message we are sending to our kids? The true and original purpose of the institution is to serve the individual. Once the institution loses sight of the individual it is nothing more than a totalitarian corporation representing only its own interests. Are the sticks and bricks that build the schools more important than the minds of innocent children?

If we recognize the worthlessness of the building, only those who believe change is possible will discover its true usefulness.

By giving up on the future, any hope of change is futile. Only by nurturing young critical minds can we cure the diseases of tomorrow. For it can only be in the present that we can discover who we are and what we are here to do. Drugs steal that from us all.

A number of studies have indicated beneficial affects of supplementing children and adults with superfood sourced nutrients. These studies not only revealed an enhanced immune function of all the subjects, but also showed significant improvement in classrooms attentiveness and overall academic scores. Imagine that!

My conclusion is a more naturalistic approach to Behavior Modification Plans (BMP) rather than prescribing dangerous psychotropic drugs. Naturally this is a more intelligent and contrary to drug intervention, an ethical alternative . . . at least until we can revolutionize our current educational system.

Dealing with ADHD and Ritalin

One of the worst abuses of prescription medication has been Ritalin and the ADHD “apparent” epidemic. However, it is surprising how few people and parents actually understand the concept of ADHD and what it is.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is NOT a disease!

ADHD is a blatant act of fraud perpetrated upon the American public. It is nothing more than a list of the most common symptoms of the emotional frustrations of children, especially those which bother teachers and parents . . . without an ounce of real science to deem them a “disease.”

Even after 25 years there is still no true research to validate ADD/ADHD as a disease . . . yet, this “mock epidemic” has sky rocketed from 500 thousand to more than 7 million diagnoses in the last 23 years. Many doctors now agree that ADHD is nothing other than a creation of the psychiatric-pharmaceutical cartel, in order to sell massive amounts of drugs to children.

Children are being served these psychotropic drugs at younger and younger ages, yet without even any long term studies of what the side effects will be. Fact is, all pharmaceuticals are poisonous to the human body and even in small does, are proven to have accumulative effects. Drug residues have been detected in tissues and fat cells after as long as 40 years.

The drugs prescribed for ADHD are labeled schedule 2 stimulants and are dangerously addictive . . . that might be why they are the number one abused drugs by children and adults in America today.

What ever happen to “Say No To Drugs?”

Ritalin is actually methylphenidate. The street name is MPH or SPEED. It’s in the same class Dexedrine (dextro-amphetamine,) Adderal (a cocktail of dextro and levo-amphetamine) and, Gradumet, and Desoxyn (both of which are METHAMPHETAMINE, SPEED or ICE.) Children are dying from these drugs every day- in fact the FDA is soon to put a Black Box Warning label on these drugs. They cause enlargement of the heart, brain damage and kidney damage as well, if death doesn’t get your attention, the side effects should.

Yes, our entire country along with the 7 million diagnosed with ADHD today, have been lied to. Parents and children have been deprived of their informed consent rights and are being victimized for profit.

There is ample evidence that children belong to different learning types.

Some children learn “visually.” Some children are “auditory” and others learn “kinesthetically,” or a combination of them. Simply said, “ADHD is discrimination against auditory and kinesthetic learners.”

In other words, children that learn by “seeing” what the teacher writes on the board are generally considered “normal. But, children who learn better from “hearing’ (auditory,) or from “doing” (kinesthetic,) are generally segregated, discriminated and prejudged as “abnormal learners.” This need NOT be!

Did you know that, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and Samuel Clemens are among many who would be forced to take ADHD drugs, were they living as children in our world today?

We have to ask ourselves sincerely, in a time when the world is plagued by social, economic and spiritual crisis, can we afford to deaden the young geniuses of our tomorrow? What of the Amadeus Mozarts, the Isaac Newtons and Nicola Teslas of the future? The human race has survived over countless centuries without drugging children along the way . . . what will the generations to come say about our drug culture, will they call it the Chemical Dark Age?
