Kind of like the saying you are what you eat. Your nutritional intake reflects your mood swings, emotions, and the overall way you feel. What you eat also affects your biochemical state and is reflected in the actions you perform. There are many different foods that can help/hurt a person that has ADHD, knowing these foods is important to improve ones condition. The best source I have found on to naturally fighting ADHD is the e-book below. This e- book puts what I have written in the above into perpective. Add to C3 Kids http://strmbank.c3kids2.hop.clickbank.net (if link is not active copy and paste the complete address into the address bar) Hopefully this will help your son with his ADHD, it has helped a few people in my family. Have a great day, David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Biofeedback is also a wonderful tool for ADD/ADHD/ID/OCD and Autism. I use them in my practice frequently and with good results. Diet is essential. Dr. Feingold has a great diet for reducing symptoms and bad behaviors. Jenny K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Merry meet, I'm from an ADD ADHD family. Our conditions have always been kept in check through our diets and not so much through man made medications. I myself believe that earth mother holds the key to all that ails and ADD or ADHD is a good example. My brother could not have red dye #40 because of the amount of sugar used to make the dye. My other brother has never been on Ritalin or the like and is ADHD as well, he has been on a healthy and stable diet his whole life. He has never had a problem with his ADD controlling him as I and my other brother did. Low carbs, low sweeteners. Limit the things that would produce over amounts of energy. Personally, I am ADD and I have a diet routine that I stick to. Tea and soda with little sugar and a moderate amount of fruit and vegetables are my main aspect. I do not eat a lot of sweets (I never have), I also have a meditation and yoga routine which helps me push out the stress of the day. I highly recommend encouraging your child to have a " time out " set aside each day where they sit down to read a book, draw or something similar. Not video games or TV time, this time is really to encourage their stability and focuses their attention on themselves, in time they'll understand they're own perks and weaknesses, but for now taking the time out can help them learn to focus their mind. My therapy with my ADD is art, I'm not great in Math but I excelled in English and art. I suggest focusing on strengths as much as you would on weaknesses. The key really isn't in medication or herbology, it's self discipline and acceptance. No one that I have ever known that is ADD or ADHD has ever truly benefited from medications as a child. Granted those that develop bi-polar later in life do benefit. It's the habits that you learn as a child that help you to recognize anything that may change and turn later on in life. From my own personal experience, it is better to use learned behavior then medication unless it can not be avoided. There are other ways of course, diet and whatnot. But if my brothers and I can do it, we feel that anyone can. Blessed be, Jade Cat Jade Cat Find me on MySpace.com Access over 1 million songs - Music Unlimited.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 26, 2006 As far as I can tell after several years of looking into the subject ADHD is both real and grossly over-diagnosed. Send a blank email to coping-with-add to get a series of helpful articles in the mail, one a day. I should get back to writing a few more...

Guest guest Report post Posted January 22, 2008 Dear All, Warm wishes for a very happy new year and regret my long silence in this forum...I've had good reasons for the same! After undergoing visits to a Clinical pyschologist, Peadiatric Neurologist etc, my son has been labelled as a kid with ADHD. Maybe this particular issue has been discussed earlier but I would request some fresh insights on the same and a possible Ayurvedic approach to treating this " disorder " . Not that there have been any drugs prescribed for my son yet, but I am totally against any brain altering medication which will almost certainly have lot of side effects in the long run... I request all the learned members for their insights into this as my son will begin schooling at a regular school soon and I want to get way ahead of this problem before the schooling begins. While I am on the subject, I have also had it upto my neck with all the advise for " special schools " . Thanks a ton, any inputs will help relieve my anxiety to a great extent!! Sincerely Bhairvi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 23, 2008 I would like to know a few things like: Where do you live What symptoms did he have how old is he School has been suggesting this about my son, but I hate the ADHD thing My son is very bright and gets bored with the usual school atmosphere. If you live in Canada or the US you could try a montessouri school where kids learn hands on and self directed and do not get bored. If he has restless legs - wiggles all night you can try iron suppliment. Do not let him spend too much time on video games keep him physically active play brain stimulating games with him give him lots of books to read talk to him a lot teach him interactively. Give him herbs like brahmi and organic foods avoid foods with color lots of fruits and vegetables and dal ________________________________ After undergoing visits to a Clinical pyschologist, Peadiatric Neurologist etc, my son has been labelled as a kid with ADHD.

And the doctors are trying to put her on medication. I don't want to give her any medicine. Is there anything in Ayurveda which will help her? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 26, 2008 I would try removing anything with food dyes (like red dye #40-hot dogs, jello)?from his diet and see if there is improvement.? Have you looked at the diet/brain connection?? There's lots on the web--drugs are not the answer.? It is often a biochemical cause from eating the wrong foods.? Try the Ayurvedic diet for his body type. Katy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 25, 2009 hi group! I am adding some conventional knowledge. adhd is is quite complex and is not one issue only. there is a good side to being adhd. it means thinking visually, having an immense drive, and the ability to hyper-focus. that right, to focus more than others! they can store vast amounts of knowledge- but they don't know how to access the details out of the salad that is in the brain. these kids are ether the great achievers of the next generation or the bums of the next generation. its important to know that adhd kids (and grownups- you don't grow out of it- you learn to live with it and turn it to an advantage) are either on or off. they ether love you or hate you. there is no in between, no middle ground. so motivation is the key. if they really want to attain a goal - they will shake the world and attain it. ideals are the way to go. as an educator, I know these kids have a hard time in school. they thrive on external discipline- because they don't have it internally. that's why they excel in the police & army. soft parents or teachers are bad for them. they need to follow a strong personality who gives them love and support- but insists on achievement. they not only need it- they love it! my experience shows that a good iridologist can give a custom diet & that works. standerd diets work 20% of the time, but its healthy anyway- so do it. many adhd kids have sensiomotor problems. better to do OT, than to take ritalin. more on that some other time. maybe Andrew can tell us more about TCM and adhd. I would very much like to hear his opinion, his essays are great. that's it for today folks. may you all be well, shaul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
