ADD and ADHD

A Quantum medicine and Naturopathic Approach
ADD or Attention Deficit Disorder and ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) in our medical view are NOT considered as states of disease but more of imbalances in functions.

Both ADD and ADHD are common neurodevelopmental disorders most frequently diagnosed in children, although they could carry on to the adulthood too. The history of such diagnosis goes back to the early 20th century and they almost did not exist before that as something to bother the children.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ADHD is most often identified in the elementary school years. However, adults can demonstrate symptoms and be diagnosed as well.

Boys are more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls, but females are not necessarily less susceptible. Females with ADHD are likely underdiagnosed for a variety of reasons, including some differences in symptoms and an unequal focus on males in research.

In the 1960s, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) formally recognized it as a mental disorder, and in the 1980s, the diagnosis became known as “attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity”. Again, in our opinion, ADHD is NOT a mental disorder, but dysfunctions of the CNS (the central nervous system) and confusion in controlling the functions of the entire body in the affected kids.

The Real Causes of ADD and ADHD
Health is the state of balance. That means balance within the physical body, in between the emotions and in our mind where the thoughts and beliefs exist.

It is not hidden to most of the people that our world today is in the state of crisis when it comes to toxicity. Toxins often act as obstacles to cure, whether they are chemical, biochemical, emotional, mental or environmental.

Our world today is progressively more toxic that what it used to be only a few decades ago.

Our basic living requirements such as food, water and air are highly contaminated today with various and many irreversible toxic compounds everywhere!

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Canada, billions upon billions of pounds of noxious and harmful toxins are released into our air, water sources, ground and food annually.

Additionally:

• There are more than 8,000 chemicals are being used in the American food industry.
• Many food items are genetically modified (GMO), something which never existed naturally in the past!
• Various hormones and antibiotics are regularly used in some food productions.
• The lack of food quality and nutritional contents are found everywhere, mostly due to be due to large preservatives, long-term storage, over productions, excessive agricultural stimulants, processing, pesticides, herbicides, radiation, coloring, excessive heating and many more!
  > Some government studies shows a staggering 68% of American do not consume the recommended daily intake of Mg (magnesium)!
  Dietary magnesium and C-reactive protein levels. J Am Coll. Nutr. 2005 June 24(3): 166-71
• Heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum are found in many food varieties today. They are famous to cause damage to growing and delicate nerve tissues (most of the early childhood vaccines contain aluminum as adjuvant as well as other heavy metals).
• Microwaves ovens destroy the architecture of the food and basically kills anytime alive in it.
  
• Plastic is man-made and never existed in nature. Therefore, there is no natural solution in the environment and our bodies to deal with it!
• Mother’s milk concentrates over 350 chemicals, esp. the flame retardants & Dioxins
  > Dioxins (many types), found 80 times more concentrated in breast milk than in the blood!!!
• Babies absorb chemical and toxins much faster than adults due to their higher metabolism and less resistance.
• Unmanaged emotional and mental toxicity are also an important factor in ADD and ADHD
• And more…..

 When toxicity of the body is raised to higher levels, especially in the early ages when the nervous system is growing fast, they cause disruption in the naturel growth and development of the nerves (including the central and the peripheral nervous systems) and other delicate cells and tissues.

As the result, the body of our babies cannot remain clean from pollutants and therefore, it cannot function properly. The use of drugs and chemical medications will only make things worst in future (even if they may seem to be helpful in the beginning) since they increase the toxicity.

Now you tell me how the body of the child could stay in control when the nerves are in malfunction mode!

Treatment Plan, Naturopathic & Quantum Approach:

• First is to determine the causes of toxicity (microbes, food sensitivities/ intolerances), environmental, behavioral, etc.
• Then to cleanse the body, mind and spirit from the negative (blocking) factors
• Finally, to rebuild the weakened and out of tune areas for restoration of balance.

The results are outstanding, but it requires a close cooperation between the therapists and the parents/ caregivers.
