Mom Refuses Ritalin and Heals Her ADHD Autism Kids with Natural Medicine
What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a common neurobehavioral problem that affects children as well as some adults.Causes of ADHD
Some research suggests that the cause of ADHD is a genetic deficiency of certain neurotransmitters. The brain is composed of millions of interconnecting nerve cells called neurons.In order for a person to think, move, or feel, these neurons must communicate with one another. They do so by sending and receiving chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
When a neurotransmitter is released from a neuron, it crosses a gap called a synapse and binds to a receptor on another neuron, thus passing on a signal.
Symptoms of ADHD
The symptoms of the disorder include impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and an inability to maintain attention.
What Does Dopamine Do?
Neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, help regulate behavior. Without dopamine, neurons in the frontal cortex of the brain, which is responsible for attention, do not communicate properly. There is also evidence that the neuronal receptors that recognize dopamine are dysfunctional in people with ADHD.

You will also want to consider these ways to help ADHD children.
1. Begin a diet to treat adhd for your child.
2. Have your child take a multi-vitamin for ADHD. Certain nutrients that may be missing from your child's diet can lead to various types of behavioral problems.
3. Work on more effective parenting strategies that put the parent back in charge.
Children with ADHD often know how to manipulate and control their parents. They know which techniques work to get what they want.
We have come to realize that there are things that parents often do that reinforce the negative behavior that is so characteristic of ADHD. Usually, they don't even know that they are doing this.
Because of this, they have found it helpful to receive training in parenting skills that help produce respect and reduce the chaos and anger in the home. One of the best programs that we are familiar with for this is the Total Transformation program.
Many families have found that the techniques taught in this program produce quick and lasting changes in the behavior of their children. The end result for those who put the skills to work that are learned through the Total Transformation is a much improved home athmosphere with healthier relationships and much less disrespect.
I recommend that you visit the Total Transformation Website and see what it can do for your situation. The results with ADHD children are often surprisingly fast.
