IGNORE NUTRITION DEFICIENCIES AT YOUR PERIL IN TREATING ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER

NUTRITION DEFICIENCIES CRITICAL IN TREATING ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD)

A recent Radio 5 Live report on the growing problem of ADHD in kids and young adults came as no surprise to hear hardly a single mention that nutritional imbalances of some sort are implicated in or are a direct cause of ADHD. If you are a parent and you want to treat ADHD effectively, (whether using Ritalin or not) you MUST address the following nutritional imbalances;

1) Vitamin & Mineral deficiencies

2) Toxic metal accumulation

3) Stimulants & artificial sweeteners in the diet

4) Sugar & refined carbohydrates

5) Chronic yeast infections including Candida Albicans

6) Food allergies

7) Fast metabolism

8) Improper diet

9) Bad fats from junk food

10) Hypoglycaemia

The reason you must address as many of the above is because ADD and ADHD are not a single disorder, but rather are symptoms with many possible causes.

It cannot be overstated that the role of nutrition including correcting vitamin & mineral deficiencies play a critical role in effective treatment of ADHD symptoms.  For example; Calcium, magnesium and zinc are deficient on the tissue mineral analyses of many ADHD children.  So is Iron. Other trace elements such as manganese and chromium also play a critical role in behaviour because they influence glucose tolerance.
Vitamin nutrition is no less important. Supplementation with B Vitamins including choline and inositol has been found helpful for some younger hyperactive and ADHD children.

It’s time right now for the media to start addressing the real ‘causes’ of health problems like ADHD, even if they offend Big Pharma or overworked allopathic doctors. Please let’s stop brushing critical health information under the carpet.
