Let me begin, by telling you some I learned while watching a talk Show. Phil Donahue, He did a show on ADD or A.D.H.D .A little boy nine years old has it, people would say to mother "can't you control him". He couldn't even control himself.
"The Doctor said. "Not to let have stuff like candy Bars" his behavior changed, A friend of mine she can't have Hi C, or Hawaian Punch, why it changes her behavior. Ok maybe there are children who have ADD or ADHD, but it thats the case why is it that in some people. When people eat less junk food and more natural foods their behavior change for the better,
could it be that some types of food allergies mock ADD, or ADHD, or dose nutrition play a part in how our brains work. Take the kids who are full of energy. Let walk, run get some health exercise. Dr. Phill,
"Once said A DD is both under and over diagnose, another words. Some children who have it haven't been diagnose, and some who have it haven't been diagnose. Some adults also have this disorder or whatever it is called.
Exactly. what is ADHD or ADD? I don't know. All I know is that some people aren't diagnose until they are in their late twenty's, or thirties. People before you run to the doctor for medication look at your diet. Now I not against medication if someone really really needs it. I had once heard on a radio show about a lady who was in and out mental institution, and she keap getting worst until they took her to this doctor in Candida.
"He ask what kind of diet is she on?" He wanted to take her off of all her medication, and he gave them a diet to follow, You know she got better, Now image that diet has a lot to do with our health. Both physically and mentally
Think about it, don't you fine that some foods are more satisfying then other foods.? Will ADD and ADHD some times can be controlled through diet. OK maybe medication is needed but medication should not be first option. They should try other stuff first, a good doctor or therapist would work with child and his or her parents to fine out what they can do control it but the medication should never be the first options
Listen if the kid is younger and Mom or Dad tell the teacher, Listen I don't want Johnny, Susie to have any thing that has a lot of sugar. The teacher should try to stick by it regardless of what everyone else is having.. Have something else in replace of it. HAY Thats LIFE ! but I believe older kids should know what they can and can't have. Maybe Mom or Dad would say they don't want their child to have anything with chocolate in it, make sure its not chocolate. A safe bet would be plain vanilla
