Each
ADHD person is very different and therefore we make no medical claims about
these products.
We
will say that they have helped some ADHD people but we recommend , if you
think they may help you or someone in your family, you trial them for 2
months, and notice if there are any differences. Also check with
your doctor if you are taking medication.
We
also only recommend these brands as these are the ones that have made a
difference for some people, within our experience.. Ingredients can vary
so much from different manufacturers even though the labels may look the
same, and so please go with these brands if you want to see if they
may help.

Essential
Fatty Acids
The story:
Bill is 55 and an adult ADHD. All through Bill's schooling he
found it difficult to cope and up until two years ago was quite convinced
that he was an academic failure.
He owns a heavy machinery contracting business, digging irrigation systems,
and logging and he got very angry very fast with his customers.Because
of this his business was small and he spent many hours on the phone ranting
to his clients.
His ADHD son then told him about Optimum Omega which was helping
him. Steve had found essential fatty acids and convinced Bill to try them.
We soon got a phone call.Bill wanted to tell us how excited he was about
essential fatty acids and Optimum Omega which has made such a difference
in his life.He is better able to focus, is more
rational, less angry and getting on better with his wife! He
had added the adults multi nutrient from the same product range, called
Lifepak to his daily intake and is feeling better than he has in 54 years!
Ths is the supplement he took, called Optimum
Omega
The research;
"Striking results from a major ongoing research programme on Dyslexia.
Dyspraxia and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) show that
lipid (fat) supplementation can make a child less
clumsy and more able to catch a
ball within 12 weeks These findings are supported by observations from
leading UK medical research centres indicating unusual brain lipid biochemistry
in people with Dyslexia.
Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADHD are closely associated. Some children
have only one of these disorders but many have two or all three leading
to problems, which are extremely distressing both for the child and his
or her parents. Such problems often lead to disruptive behaviour
and school failure.
An abnormal EFA metabolism could explain the
unusual preponderance of allergic and autoimmune problems in
dyslexics and their relatives as EFAs can affect immune function.

3 fatty acids (including EPA and DHA) and other Omega 3 fatty acids, deodorized

Proper
Nutrition
~
for the children
The
story:
Our son has taken Jungamals Multi Nutrient since he was 12 and it has
been amazing for him, especially through the teenage years, as he is now
16. He notices the difference too! (and so do we when he hasn't taken them!!!)
He is more rational. getting better grades at school, does more outside
school hours, and is happier. He doesn't get so much teenage rage!
The research
"SCIENTISTS HAVE TOLD us that PROPER NUTRITION is the key to PROPER
FUNCTIONS of the brain and body.
Yet today, with our fast paced microwaveable-instant world, nutrition
can be shockingly absent in the diet. The effects of mild
to moderate nutritional deficiencies in children AND adults are documented
to result in the indication of moderate to severe
attention, emotional, and behavioural abnormalities.
UNFORTUNATELY, the broad clinical presentation of these nutritional
deficiency symptoms are very time consuming for a
health professional to identify, and are commonly OVERLOOKED during
evaluations. Many times this leads to the
administration of drugs and various chemical therapies for behaviour
modification that can ‘mask’ the underlying
cause...nutritional deficiency symptoms. " An excerpt from the Christmas
edition of the ezine which goes into quite some detail on nutrition.

We take a product called Lifepak and we have recommended it to

us healthy and we know we are getting all the nutrients we need. Tested
against 200 other brands in1999 this is the product that came out on top.
The research:
Leading health experts recommend eating five or more servings of fruits
and vegetables each day for optimal health and longevity. Unfortunately,
most of us don’t even come close to this recommendation. Fruits and vegetables
are packed with health-protecting nutrients, including a class of powerful
antioxidant compounds called flavonoids. By eating the daily recommended
servings of fruits and vegetables, you might’ll generally consume 150,
between 100 and 200 milligrams of health-protecting flavonoids.
The supplement:
Lifepak.
If you’re in the majority who don't eat all those fruits and vegetables,,Lifepak
–now with the addition of catechins –delivers 150 milligrams of cell-protecting
flavonoids every day. Click here to

Amino
Acids
Story:
Dr Chris Reading is a well-respected orthomolecular
psychiatrist and consultant in Australia. He says, " the child
with ADHD is usually very metabolically disadvantaged
with low vitamins, amino acids,
minerals and a high level of toxic and heavy metals."
They may also have delayed reactions to food
and chemical sensitivities as shown on the cytotoxic test, and often
immediate reactions to foods and inhalant allergens."
"many have sever food and chemical sensitivities
to cow's milk, gluten-containing grains, legumes and beans- all of which
can cause severe malabsorption state and flat gut villi and thus
low vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Research:
Some ADHD people who need to eat massive amounts of protein to
help them gain control.
The more we researched the more we found the same thing, and
we have become quite excited about it all.
There seems to be two amino acids that are often repeated as being
essential.
Phenylaianine helps brighten mood, stimulate energy, and improve memory.
To feel energetic and to have a good long-term memory, it's absolutely
vital that you have sufficient intake of phenylaianine.
Glutamine can also improve clarity of thought, and can increase alertness--probably
because it helps produce glutainic acid,
which neutralizes metabolic wastes in the brain. Some people
ingest glutamine prior to events that require increased alertness.

Feeling
tired and a bit depressed
Story:
It's not just the children who get tired and depressed! Bio St
John's is the product we use and can tell you it makes a real difference
to us within about 30 minutes.
Research
Several well conducted studies have shown that
children with ADHD are more likely than others to become depressed at some
time during their development. In fact, the risk for developing depression
is as much as 3 times greater than for other children.
A study recently published in the Journal of
Affective Disorders (January 1998, 113-122) examined the course of depression
in 76 children with ADHD in order to learn more about the relationship
between ADHD and depression. The authors were especially interested in
whether depression in children with ADHD represents an actual clinical
depression, or whether it may be better understood as a kind of "demoralization"
that can result from the day to day struggles that children with
ADHD often have. " an
exerpt from the August ezine
