ADHD
ADHD: Misdiagnosed and overmedicated
In one school in San Diego, 65 percent of fifth graders had been diagnosed with ADD and put on medications.
Even "normal" kids are subject to random drugging so they act like the
adults in charge of them want them to... dull, placid, and compliant.
The fact is that up to 20% of American school-aged children are now on behavioral medications, according to child neurologist, Fred Baughman, Jr. MD. Parents are told to place their children on poisonous medications or their child will be refused attendance at school and have even been threatened with charges of "medical neglect."
But ADD and ADHD are not medical conditions. There is no X-ray, brain scan, blood test, or any other medical test that a doctor can look at and say "yep, that's ADHD alright. Just look at this X-ray. ADHD, right there, plain as the nose on my face." The fact is that ADD/ADHD are neurodevelopmental disorders and not medical or psychological disorders. But with just 5 minutes at the right doctor's office a parent can walk out with a deadly schedule I or II pharmaceutical prescription and a permanent medical record of ADD/ADHD diagnosis for their child.

What you get for drugging your child
* According to the USA Today and the New York Times, ADD/ADHD medications initially raise math test scores of a child with ADD/ADHD by less than 3 points after 1 year.* After three years on ADD/ADHD medications, the child is academically back to where they would have been if the child was never put on drugs in the first place.
* USA Today, April 2009: After three years on an ADD/ADHD medication the dosage has been raised an average of 41% because the body builds tolerance to and "tunes down" the effects.
* After three years on ADD/ADHD medications the child is on average 0.79 inches shorter and 6 lbs lighter than children with no medications.
* Children and teens taking ADHD stimulant medications are seven times more likely to die suddenly than their peers.
* A child that has been on ADD/ADHD medications is impacted permanently on career choices and can be outright disqualified for opportunities such as a commercial airline pilot, certain law enforcement positions, and may be disqualified from military service and military officer eligibility.
ADD/ADHD medications work by causing malfunction in the brain. When used long term these medications physically alter the brain, causing brain atrophy and gross malfunctions in the brain of the child.
ADD/ADHD: a disorder of the brain
The causes of ADD/ADHD as a spectrum disorder lie in incomplete developmental levels, brain disorganization, under-developed sequential processing skills, brain maturation abnormalities, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, allergenic responses, sub-clinical health issues, or other bio-medical issues. It is a criminal act against the health and safety of a child to classify any of these causes as a "spectrum disorder" for the purpose of categorically medicating them to sweep the symptoms under the carpet.ADD/ADHD is a "disorder of the brain." A disorder by definition is a condition where the normal order of things is disrupted. Drugs do not cause order; they only cause more disorder. It takes order to overcome disorder. In other words, you cannot expect organized function from a disorganized brain, no more than a tornado can assemble a working school bus by running through a salvage yard.
It's high time to take this disorder out of the hands of the medical specialists, who have not only outright failed to treat this non-medical condition but have caused much harm to our children. Let's place it in the rightful hands of developmental specialists and nutritionists. But keep in mind that raising healthy children is ultimately the responsibility of the parents and not the professionals.

ADHD - no drugs
Recover from ADD, ADHD, and depression without drugs
Chances are you've been prescribed antidepressants or know someone who has. According to the Centers for Disease Control, eleven percent of Americans over the age of 12 take antidepressants. Between 1996 and 2005 alone, the number of people taking antidepressants doubled to 27 million.
Concurrent with this pharmaceutical boom, we have also seen the rise of the ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) diagnosis. According to the National Institute of Mental health, 3 to 5 percent of kids have ADHD, but some experts believe that figure could be as high as 10 percent. Yet there are no lab tests to confirm ADHD in children or adults. Instead, doctors rely on the patient's response to questions, the family's description of behavior problems and a school assessment. Once a diagnosis has been made and the patient is put on ADHD medication, the medications usually have troubling side effects. Those may include headaches, upset stomach, dizziness, toxic psychosis and even death, among others.
Many individuals are reporting that diagnoses for depression and ADHD - along with their attendant pharmaceutical treatments - are being handed out like candy. "I don't think you can make a diagnosis of depression in a 10-minute doctor visit, you just can't," said Dr. James Parker, a child psychiatrist at Group Health Cooperative in Seattle. Frank Barnhill, M.D. is a family physician and author of "Mistaken for ADHD". He writes, "Insurance companies often try to squeeze the last penny of profit out of medical care and push doctors even harder to provide that care in less time and for lower costs."
Kerri Kasem knows this experience personally. The radio host was battling depression in her early 20s when she sought medical attention for it. "I'd get really high highs and really low lows," she says. "The doctors wanted to put me on drugs. I walked into an office and 20 minutes later, with him asking me just a couple questions, he told me I had ADD and he gave me Ritalin. He didn't ask me if I had any food allergies or 'What's your diet like?' There was not one question about my health."
Trusting his advice, she began taking Ritalin, but "at the end of one week, I was so sick that I gave him back his drugs... I felt ill." Kasem decided to have her blood tested and learned she had some pressing nutritional issues. "I was very low on iron, I didn't have enough vitamin D. I had all these deficiencies. So I started taking supplements. I got off the sugar completely and that included all the pastas and breads. All of a sudden, my brain started working a little better."
She started taking supplements for the brain and noticed a marked improvement in her ability to focus. "My head was like a calculator; I was quick on my feet. I never had that before." This prompted her to research possible food allergies, and she discovered that she was allergic to gluten. After eliminating gluten, her thinking became even clearer. These changes proved to be a professional game changer for her too. "I can do radio!" she realized. "I wanted to do talk radio more than anything. It was something I wanted to do but I never thought I could." With her new focus, Kasem began interning at radio stations and taking classes. She's now been doing radio since 1997, and you can hear her on the K-pod and Sixx Sense. She is a wellness advocate who promotes natural approaches to disease such as juicing, and eating a plant-based diet. Kasem reflects, "There's always another option, despite what the doctors say."

ADHD: The Preventions and treatment
The Preventions and treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD and ADHD)
Attention Deficit Disorder/hyperactivity disorder is a condition characterized by behavior problems with attention, over-activity and impulsivity. Chronic difficulties with concentration, mental focus and inhibition of impulses tend to impair daily functioning at school, at work and in relationships. It affects between 8 to 10 percent of children and 4 percent of adults.
Dr. Maschino recommended several natural supplements to help those with this disorder.
Adëeva All-In-One Multi-Vitamin & Mineral
All-In-One Multi-Vitamin & Mineral contains key levels of the vitamins and minerals required for the brain to make dopamine and other neurotransmitters involved in attention, focus and stimulation. (Please visit Dr Merschino's website for his recommended dosages).
Adëeva Nature’s Essential Oils
All-In-One Multi-Vitamin & Mineral contains key levels of the vitamins and minerals required for the brain to make dopamine and other neurotransmitters involved in attention, focus and stimulation. (Please visit Dr Merschino's website for his recommended dosages).
Additional Recommended Supplements
Mucuna Pruriens extract
Mucana Pruriens contains L-Dopa, a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is often deficient in the brain of those with ADHD and ADD. This herb also contains other ingredients which may affect other brain neurotransmitters involved in alertness, focus and mood. I have been adding mucuna to my superpowder chocolates for a long time now.

Vaccines
We've all heard this before...but how many actually believe the person who informs us of this, and actually does something about knowing these scary truths? Sadly we as a population tend to believe those in charge and the mainstream media (controlled by those who profit from us...who both suppress and manipulate Very important safety information! This is unacceptable!).
Make note I am not anti-vaccines, but let's take a look at at How many Unnecessary vaccinations are now being given to tiny babies (more than triple the amount in the last few decades)...and the risks in the ingredients in vaccinations as well, that have been covered up, and how many deaths and life long illnesses have been a result of this highly profitable industry! What I do promote is SAFER vaccines! Let's not trade one poison for another JUST to feed the pockets of these companies. If the vaccines themselves don't make you sick, learning how this industry operates Will make you sick! Firstly, when it comes to medicines one does NOT fit all! Secondly ingredients like Mercury are NOT safe at Any dose!

Wake Up and Americans Unite against the lies that is told to destroy our children. Here is an interview that is very rare and will shock you. Hear how the vaccinations were started what they have in it all from the mouth of Dr. Maurice Hillerman admitting to massive field trials, and hiding the truth from the press book mark this and show it to all your friends.

Mercury, Autism And The Global Vaccine Agenda
David Ayoub, M.D. goes through the relations of Mercury to Autism as well its connections to "National Security Study Memorandum 200"; for population control. Showing its shocking connections to today's G.A.V.I. Are powerful forces really trying to help the poor people or could it be for another agenda; the sterilization of the poor? This is an upsetting video, so brace yourself.
Vaccine Nation
Mercury, known as thimerosal, and other heavy metal additives are highly toxic and threaten children with neurological damage. The long-term efficacy of global vaccination remains controversial, inconclusive and is suspect in light of the powerful corporate interests, lobbying efforts, and profits associated with a multi-billion dollar vaccine industry..

Deadly Immunity - Full Documentary
An investigate report written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about the government cover-up of the mercury / autism scandal. The CDC, FDA, WHO and pharmaceutical companies have been involved in a massive deception of the public in order to ensure their sustained profitability.
Perhaps this will motivate more people to begin independently investigating these companies and the relationships between those who are looking out for the health of our population and those who stand to profit from our illness.

ADHD
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.

Helping ADHD Children (from adhdchildparenting.com)
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.
