ADHD and ADD. The Hyperactive Child (Part One)
Contents provided by Dr. Lendon Smith, M.D.* How Many Children Have ADD? * The "diagnosis" (pseudo-or quasi-) of hyperactivity or Attention Deficit Disability with and without hyperactivity has increased to the point that on any school day in the United States about 4,000,000 children receive a dose of Ritalin --- the favored drug --- so that they will settle down in the classroom, not upset the class routine and allow these wild and disruptive children to concentrate and learn. The use of this prescription drug has increased exponentially in the last few decades.
* Why Ritalin? * The only diagnostic criterion we prescribing pediatricians and psychiatrists have is: "If the Ritalin works, the child needs it." It suggests that the child has a Ritalin deficiency. There is no doubt that Ritalin or other stimulant drugs have a calming effect on these over-sensitive and hyper-responding children (and adults).
* What Type of Child Is Hyperactive? * As time went on in my practice, I realized that many of these children came from the same mold: they were often fair, ticklish, and had obvious food sensitivities. As infants, many of them had ear infections and colic which turned out to be related to a cow milk sensitivity.
* Do These Children Have Nutrient Deficiencies? * In an effort to make a more scientific diagnosis, I tested these children for nutrient deficiencies, and found that most were deficient in magnesium, especially, and calcium. Some also needed zinc, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and essential fatty acids. Supplementing the diets of these children plus removing dairy products and sugary nothings made a big difference in their ability to focus and sit still. Many of these children have low blood sugar from eating "junk food." Diet changes were slow to accomplish the desired results; Ritalin works in about 20 minutes.
* What Nutrients Help To Reduce Hyperactivity? * Dr. Billy Crook, Dr. Doris Rapp, and the late Dr. Ben Feingold have solved most of these children's problems with diet changes and the addition of supplements. It is well known that our topsoil is deficient, and the foods that come from these soils are not giving most of our population what we all need for health, mental and physical. I am beginning to believe that the condition of hyperactivity is at a comparable stage to the situation in 1950 when Dr. Hoffer and Dr. Osmond gathered enough information to show that much schizophrenia was a deficiency of vitamin C and B3 in people with a genetic need for huge doses of those nutrients.

*** Will Noni Juice Work For Me? ***
Don't you agree that's a natural enough question to ask?
These questions are good because they get us to look seriously for the answers. When we have the answers we can make wise decisions.
Are you aware that Noni Juice has worked for the natives of Tahiti for 2,000 years for all sorts of ailments? Are you also aware there are all sorts of scientific studies that have been done on Noni to find out why it works so well? If you need to know more about the scientific studies you can go to our web site: http://www.iwr.com/noni-juice/
I'm so grateful that I was shown how to ask the right questions so I could take the nutritional supplements that would help me with my health problems.
I got the best for me. Now I want the best for you too.
