ADD/ADHD Nutritional Support

ADD/ADHD Nutritional Support

With the unsurmountable pressures on society and our disconnect with nature - we tend to rely on our limited knowledge and have not looked at what the ancients have accomplished with healing. Why is that? 

Below are the top nutritionals now for over a decade of recommending, not prescribing, a nature cure.

Personally I have seen such a tremendous recovering in ADD patients that they come back thanking me years later for the work we had done in educating him on the beneficial effects that are as a result of taking and using the following:

TOP THREE NUTRITION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADD/ADHD

1. AFA blue-green algae PEA (phenyl-ethyl-amine) is in a 4x concentrate. Research with ADD adults and children, the PAA (phenyl-acetic-acid), in the brain is normally very low in these patients, compared to a person who does not have attention deficit behavior. CNS (Central Nervous System): the AFA's also calms nervousness and helps reduce stress.
2. Carlson Cod Liver liquid (lemon), or Nordic Naturals EFA fish oils for brain EFA deficiency.
3. Focus Factors (Gotu Kola, and a blend of brain enhancing herbals).

AVOID RED AND BLUE COLORS
Red and blue food coloring/dyes in any food, ice cream freezes, or personal care products.
Why? Feingold Study 1970's established that these two color are most harmful to the brain, and ubiquitous in candy, sodas, electrolyte beverages like Powerade/Gatorade, and personal products.

ALSO NOTE:
Salicylic acid is found in high levels peanut butter, turkey meat and to be avoided while in natural treatment for ADD/ADHD. Salicylate's are directly linked to increased attention deficit and the display of outbursts in behavior such as excessive hyperactivity.

MORE TIPS:
Lemon balm good for soothing the hyperactivity. Also called Melissa Officianalis.
Seasame foot/scalp massage relaxing, and has been used for centuries in Asia.


Disclaimer: Always check with your personal/primary health care physician before changing or starting a new health regime. 

Please seek the advice of a qualified health practitioner that supports your desire to try something that may work. The above recommendations pose absolutely no side effects and has worked successfully for many, many people who have had no alternative but to medicate their child see no change in their condition.

Why NIH Applauds the AFA Wild Algae... Amazing!

TFC ABC's of Nutrition: A is for Algae... and Amazing!

After visiting the pristine waters of the lower Klammath Lake area and worked feverishly on the best ways to market this harvested, preserved, original first green species on the plant. This has not been an easy task.

Then to bring to market working with top scientist who had 100% published proof that this "super-duper-food", releases the human stem cell from the bone at a substantially quicker rate. 

It has been a long journey, over a decade now, since publicly shared and demonstrated the algae at Mother's in Orange County, and other health food stores. Even now, I remember the shock of people walking around the store, feeling the product work in their body and coming back to buy a couple of bottles. What a great feeling to know that people can have such an astonishing response to what their bodies need.

AFA's for Pets: My 17 year old labrador retriever received health benefits from taking this product. He never suffered with tumors or hips problems (this normal degenerative disease that affects this breed). I have witnessed horses, cats, dogs, and even honey bee's benefit dramatically when mixed with their feed. 

Scientific evidence now proves that ONLY the AFA species [Aphanizomenon flos-aquae] elevates mood with naturally occurring PEA (phenyl-ethyl-amine). A key ingredient in the famous Smiley Perfume, with worldwide sales and a line of products. 


[Note:  This report does not specify that they are reporting on the AFA species, however the source citations 1-4 are very specific on the science that has been established on the AFA species particularly that has been harvested at Klamath Falls, Oregon.]

National Institute of Health Report on Blue-Green Algae:

Blue-green algae are used as a source of dietary protein, B-vitamins, and iron. They are also used for weight loss, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), hayfever, diabetes, stress, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and other women’s health issues.


Some people use blue-green algae for treating precancerous growths inside the mouth, boosting the immune system, improving memory, increasing energy and metabolism, lowering cholesterol, preventing heart disease, healing wounds, and improving digestion and bowel health.


Blue-green algae are commonly found in tropical or subtropical waters that have a high-salt content, but some types grow in large fresh water lakes. The natural color of these algae can give bodies of water a dark-green appearance. The altitude, temperature, and sun exposure where the blue-green algae are grown dramatically influence the types and mix of blue-green algae in the water.


Some blue-green algae products are grown under controlled conditions. Others are grown in a natural setting, where they are more likely to be contaminated by bacteria, liver poisons (microcystins) produced by certain bacteria, and heavy metals. Choose only products that have been tested and found free of these contaminants.


You may have been told that blue-green algae are an excellent source of protein. But, in reality, blue-green algae is no better than meat or milk as a protein source and costs about 30 times as much per gram.


How effective is it?

Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.


The effectiveness ratings for BLUE-GREEN ALGAE are as follows:

• Precancerous mouth sores (oral leukoplakia). Early research findings show that taking 1 gram of spirulina blue-green algae (Spirulina fusiformis) daily by mouth for 12 months reduces oral leukoplakia in people who chew tobacco.
• Weight loss. Research to date shows that taking spirulina blue-green algae does not seem to help reduce weight.
• Tics or twitching of the eyelids (blepharospasm or Meige syndrome). Beginning research shows that taking a specific blue-green algae product (Super Blue-Green Algae (SBGA), Cell Tech) by mouth for 6 months does not reduce eyelid spasms in people with blepharospasm.
• Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
• Diabetes.
• Immune system.
• Fatigue.
• Anxiety.
• Depression.
• Memory.
• Energy.
• High cholesterol.
• Heart disease.
• Wound healing.
• Digestion.
• As a source of dietary protein, vitamin B12, and iron.
• Other conditions.

How does it work?

Blue-green algae have a high protein, iron, and other mineral content which is absorbed when taken orally. Blue-green algae are being researched for their potential effects on the immune system, swelling (inflammation), and viral infections. [Recent science proves that it heightens the release of stem cells from the bone. This covers a number of health concerns. Phycocyanin, found abundantly in the AFA's has a COX2 inhibitory feature. PEA concentrate has been proven to work with mood elevation and may assist Attention Deficit.]

Are there safety concerns?

Blue-green algae products that are free of contaminants, such as liver-damaging substances called microcystins, toxic metals, and harmful bacteria, are POSSIBLY SAFE for most people.

But blue-green algae products that are contaminated are LIKELY UNSAFE, especially for children. Children are more sensitive to contaminated blue-green algae products than adults. [Make sure that you have a company that offers a quality product: We use E3LIVE, never a problem with our child].

Contaminated blue-green algae can cause liver damage, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, weakness, thirst, rapid heartbeat, shock, and death. Don’t use any blue-green algae product that hasn’t been tested and found free of mycrocystins and other contamination.

Are there any interactions with medications?

Be cautious with this combination. [Always let your doctor know when you have added something new to your daily supplements.]

Blue-green algae might increase the immune system. [WONDERFUL, but not for people who have auto-immune problems]. By increasing the immune system, blue-green algae might decrease the effectiveness of medications that decrease the immune system.

Some medications that decrease the immune system include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), corticosteroids (glucocorticoids), and others.

Are there interactions with herbs and supplements?

There are no known interactions with herbs and supplements.

Are there interactions with foods?

There are no known interactions with foods.

What dose is used?

The appropriate dose of blue-green algae depends on several factors such as the user’s age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for blue-green algae. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

Special precautions and warnings:

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of blue-green algae during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

“Auto-immune diseases” such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), pemphigus vulgaris (a skin condition), and others: Blue-green algae might cause the immune system to become more active, and this could increase the symptoms of auto-immune diseases. If you have one of these conditions, it’s best to avoid using blue-green algae.

Phenylketonuria: The spirulina species of blue-green algae contains the chemical phenylalanine. This might make phenylketonuria worse. Avoid Spirulina species blue-green algae products if you have phenylketonuria.

FLOURIDATION: A Daily Health Hazard, DIY Protection

FLOURIDATION: A Daily Health Hazard



IMPORTANT NOTE: Toothpaste and tap water are the main source of fluoride poisoning in our daily environment.


Natural News on Flouride Poisoning
This report directly links flouoridation to serious diseases of the thyroid. The thyroid is responsible for maintaining metabolism. Hypo-thyrodism is linked to weight gain and body fat that is very difficult to lose.

What You Can Do:

The very simplest thing to do right away... is to purchase ONLY non-flouride toothpaste. Trader Joe's has had a non-flouride toothpaste on the market for years. Whole Food's will also have this product in stock for a bit more expensive, but a more of a selection of flavors.

Get water filtration system for your home that will filter this toxin, so that your daily shower, or children's baths are going to be free of this neurotoxin. This is obviously a more expensive investment than just changing your toothpaste. There are carbon filters that you can buy to attach to the head of the shower and only filter bath water through shower head. And the very cheapest option that I have seen and a little skeptical on how effective it would be to protect my family is; the carbon ball filter that hangs just under the spout for bath water. I guess something is better than nothing. 

It is important that if you have been exposed to high levels of toxins that you consider the best detox that is directed towards the organs/system that you are trying to cleanse.

The liver and kidneys are affected by toxic load. They are always good organs to cleanse and build in your daily supplements and lifestyle. Disease is certain to happen if your cell systems are not healthy and vibrant.

Flowers for Negativity : Beech, Beech, Beech

 

...was described by Dr Bach as the remedy for people who 'feel the need to see more good and beauty in all that surrounds them.' 

Beech

People in a Beech state are intolerant of difference. They lack compassion and understanding of the circumstances and paths that other people are given, and fail to see that they too are working towards perfection in their own ways.

Sometimes Beech intolerance is manifested as outbursts of irritability: the remedy helps to encourage tolerance and understanding, and as this happens so the irritability also fades.

Dr Bach on Beech Flower:

For those who feel the need to see more good and beauty in all that surrounds them. And, although much appears to be wrong, to have the ability to see the good growing within. So as to be able to be more tolerant, lenient and understanding of the different way each individual and all things are working to their own final perfection.- The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies
