Herbal formulas for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder)

[Guest guest]

Hello:

 

I am new to the group and wanted some suggestions from you as to help

and treatment with herbs. I see from the sharings here there are so

many that seem to be knowledgeable about various herbs that I feel

certain at least some of you can give me ideas, have had experiences

or know of someone that had been helped by particular herbs or

combinations.

 

I actually have not been diagnosed by a physician to have ADHD but

have come to the conclusion myself. I am an adult male and am 49

years of age. I began having panic attacks and depression about 10

years ago. I feel I have dealt with the issues surrounding those

circumstances. Have not had a panic attack in about 9 years but have

continued on a low dosage of Ativan and am now taking Lexipro for

depression.

 

I do have trouble maintaining my attention on things at work, get

bored easily, am very impatient and maintain a general uneasy feeling

and have trouble relaxing. I also have sleep apnea and I realize

some nights I do not get the rest I need even though I do use CPAP as

directed by the doctor. I do not worry about things as I used too

and do not feel down/depressed.

 

I just feel I need something to take the edge off and to help me stay

calm and to keep my mood on a level plain.

 

I also do not want to take other medications if i do not have too and

if possible would like to be able to get off the ones I am on.

 

I have read about a number of herbs for nervous conditions including

Kava Kava, Passion Flower, California Poppy, Catnip, Chamomile, Gotu

Kola, Lemon Balm, St. Johns Wort, Thyme, Valerian Root and Hops.

 

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for being here.

Joe,

I am a little versed in this area. There isn't just one or two herbs

that will fix this. First you have to know the cause, or if you

really have ADHD. Normally the hyperactivity in children matures to

anger in adults. Sounds like you may have ADD anyway, not ADHD.

Either way ADHD and ADD and autism are caused from either too much

pharmacutical iron during pregnancy, or shortly afte birth or

mercury toxicity from tooth fillings in pregnant woman, and the

fathers. After conception there's high mercury foods such as tuna

and lesser infected fish, and ect. Then after birth mercury toxicity

from childhood vaccines. There are something like 22 vaccines

required before the 5th year of life, and they far exceed a safe

amount of mercury for an adult.

After vaccination there is a fever the body gets " they " call normal

but isn't. It is encephalitis (brain infection). It causes damage,

more in the gifted than any other. The more gifted, the more damage

which is why every ADD, ADHD and autistic kids far exceed in some

things. Tightens my jaw and breaks my heart just to think of it.

Poor innocent precious babies.

So now you have the cause.

Deworming your body (people think to do this for their animals but

the need to do themselves escapes them), need to do that to get the

organs functioning right to handle some minor cleaning, liver

gallbladder flush (the one I have had for 16 years is the very same

one on file here), to prepare the liver for some more dumping and

cleaning of the body.

Then you are ready for the poor man's oral chelation that will rid

your body of heavy metals.

Heavy metals settle in the pancreas. One reason ADD, ADHD and

autistic kids can't handle sugar is pancreas is not workin right.

Need a pancreatic healing and flushing of heavy metals and after

that you need to redo the deworming. All types of things hide behind

that metal barrier in the pancreas safe from anything behind the

sheild of heavy metal, that nothing can penetrate. Get rid of the

wall and re-deworm.

You can do alot with your diet to completely stop many symptoms of

ADD. Once again ridding wheat, dairy and sugar. Raw honey, rice

bread, and rice milk.

Stay away from almonds, tomatoes, oranges, apples and all citrus if

you do have ADD you will react badly to natural sacrilytes, and

vitamin B. If you are ADD you will have a severe calcium defiency,

which accounts for bad sleeping. You will need a good assimilatable

calcium and you will have trouble assimilating calcium if you are

ADD.

Pycnogenol is real good herb for this aliment, and so is MSM

couldn't beat that one. I think Doc sells it here. We NEED MSM. It

will help you with many things. Do not skimp on a cheap brand, or

spend a ton thinking it's a good brand. If you do not get the right

stuff it will not work and you will lose it's effect on the body

irregardless how much you spent on a bottle of it.

You will benefit HIGHLY on your concentration with a real good

borage oil. Go to Mountain Rose herbs and get your borage oil there,

it's high quality, not necessarily high cost.

You will probably have to avoid corn, maybe soy

There's a ton more, but this will get you started and feeling better

in no time.

FYI, gifted people often exibit the same symptoms of ADHD, the

gifted are often misdiagnosed. If you are gifted, which you very

well may be, you will not be able to fix the quick boredom,

immediate gratification syndrom, bucking authority, not needing much

sleep, things like that....sorry. Sad thing is, most gifted see

themselves as dumb or below average. Quite the opposite. It's just

damage public schools do to our gifted. It's a shame, if they

escaped damage from the vaccines, chances are they didn't make it

through the public school systems unscathed.

The good news is, much of this can be fixed. Will give more info

when you have gotten through this and yell if you need more help

getting started with something specific. You can't get to point B

without first doing A so I will stop here.

Joe,

What's your diet like? I don't think herbs are your answer. I think we need

to take a good, close look at how you eat and change that, and I bet your

symptoms will go away and you'll be able to focus and get off those drugs!

Thanks for your response so let me try to answer your questions. I

try to stay mostly on a low carbohydrate diet. I am hypoglycemic and

if I eat much in the way of sugars or carbs I begin to feel very

weak, will likely break out in a sweat (especially my head), and get

extremely sleepy. I try to eat meats, cheese, protein shakes which I

usually put an egg in along with a couple of ounces of whipping

cream, low carb bars with chocolate (I'm a chocholic) and green

vegetables. Occassionally I have some things that are higher in

carbohydrates such as cake, cookies, bread and etc. but rarely. I

pay for it when i do. I drink diet sodas which I would say on

average are about 2 a day. Morning coffee and usually about 2-3

glasses of tea a day.

 

I work for the State of Alabama. I sit behind a desk most of the

time in a very mundane and boring job. However, I plan to retire

from it in 1 1/2 years with 25 years.

 

I generally go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week and usually do some

cardio type workout for about 30 - 40 minutes.

Hi Joe,

 

Just noticed your comment on drinking diet sodas. You need to avoid anything which says "diet" or "light". The sugar substitutes being used usually contain aspartame, which has many counter indications especially if used in such quantities as you describe. I stay well away from anything which has aspartame in it.

 

love,

Lisa
