Attention Deficit Disorder ~ Recommended Herbs, Vitamins, and Considerations (931 hits)

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are 2 concocted disorders created by the medical engineers (who create diseases and disorders to introduce, justify and prescribe medication for profit and control purposes). These disorders really don’t exist (despite real damage to the brain caused by sugar) but are used as an excuse or legal justification to drug American children in an attempt for the pharmaceutical industry to make more money via Ritalin and other Ritalin-like drugs sales.

Students who are alive, energetic, and imaginative are dubbed “problem students.” It is natural for young children to be so alive and energetic. Just because most teachers (adults, adulterated individuals) cannot challenge (or keep up energy-wise with) the students of today is not justification to drug them.

Children are dubbed “hyperactive” under the banner of ADD or ADHD and thus dubbed “problematic” and then put on a “legal” drug called Ritalin, a close chemical cousin of the drug "crack cocaine" which the U.S. government, via the Central Intelligence Agency, developed in an abandoned Pepsi-Cola plant in Laos in the 1960s and conveniently dropped off in Black communities all across the U.S. in the early 1980s to (1) fund warfare in Central and South America, (2) to create an enhanced crime wave throughout the U.S., and (3) to create a plethora of new criminal statutes aimed chiefly at minorities (Three Strikes Law, car-jacking, etc.).

The U.S. government is the biggest dope pusher on the planet. They get away with it by the use of the term “legal” or placing the word “legal” in front of the word “drug.” What’s the difference between a “legal” drug and an “illegal” drug? The only difference is Federal Drug Administration approval. Placing the term “legal” in front of the word “drug” does not make the drug safer or less harmful or fatal than a so-called “illegal” drug which is a drug banned for political-legal purposes.

In the U.S., legalized drug pushers and peddlers are called “pharmacists.” They have a license to (1) distribute drugs, (2) get you hooked/addicted, and (3) even kill you from overdose.

All teachers and school nurses have to do to dub or deem a child “hyperactive” and a candidate for Ritalin drug use is to attach any one of the following characteristics to the child: lack of concentration, a tendency to disturb other children, self-destructive behavior, emotional instability/mood swings, disorders of speech or hearing, temper tantrums, extreme distractibility, forgetfulness, absentmindedness, inability to finish tasks, difficulty solving problems or managing time, low tolerance for stress, learning disabilities, a tendency to become frustrated quickly, an inability to sit still for any length of time, even at mealtimes, and failure in school despite average or above-average intelligence.

Any one of the following characteristics attached to your child makes that child a candidate for drug use (Ritalin). Ritalin is very harmful! The late Dr. Mendelsohn supplied the following medical facts in regards to Ritalin:

“Nervousness and insomnia are the most common adverse reactions but are usually controlled by reducing dosage and omitting the drug in the afternoon and the evening. Other reactions include hypersensitivity (including skin rash), uticaria (swollen, itching patches of skin), fever, arthralgia, exfoliative dermatitis (scaly pacthces of skin), erythema multiforme (an acute inflammatory skin disease), with histopathological findings of necrotizing vasculitis (destruction of the blood vessels), and thrombocytopenic purpura (a serious blood-clotting disorder), anorexia; nausea; dizziness; palpitations; headache; dyskinesia (impairment of voluntary movement), drowsiness; blood pressure and pulse changes, both up and down; tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), angina (spasmodic attacks of intense heart pain); cardia arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat); abdominal pain, weight loss during prolonged therapy. There have been rare reports of Tourette’s syndrome. Toxic pyschosis has been reported in patients taking this drug; leucopenia (reduction in white blood cells) and/or anemia; a few instances of scalp hair loss. In children, loss of apetite, abdominal pain, weight loss during prolonged therapy, insomnia, and tachycardia may occur more frequently; however, any of the other adverse reactions listed above may occur.” Excerpt taken from THE INDIGO CHILDREN: THE NEW CHILDREN HAVE ARRIVED, by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober (1999), pgs. 163-164

For so-called ADD and ADHD, it deals more with taking away from than giving to. If parents would change their child's diet, and moderate their children's consumption of things they frequently give their children to eat (e.g. sugar, candy, soft drinks, pastries, commercial brand fruit juices, etc.), they would not have to give anything to their children for so-called ADD and ADHD.

A lot of poor, African-American children and students, especially the males, are quick to be labeled ADD and/or ADHD in today's public school system. This is truly sad and unfortunate because these so-called minority students are highly gifted but lack the necessary outlets to express their genius and creativity nor do they have the necessary parental guidance. So by the time most of these males finish elementary school, any genius and creativity they had previously becomes null.

Because the public school curriculum of today is not challenging their genius and creativity, many of these young Black boys turn to the street life whereby they appear to have no regard about life, and get caught up in a life of crime and end up in jail and/or dying young, which the government systematically plans, believe it or not.

As a foster parent, I have helped quite a few so-called ADD/ADHD children with the mere use of herbal teas. Herbal teas that contain chamomile, spearmint, lemon grass, and other herbs and flowers are generally considered to be safe options for children and adults. Since children with ADD and/or ADHD have more problems falling asleep, sleeping soundly, and getting going in the morning, they are often recommended as a way to encourage rest and sleep. These teas may be best used before bedtime.

Vitamins essential for helping ADD and/or ADHD are Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin B6, Zinc, and Omega 3 and Omega 6.

Eating small portions of protein throughout the day evens out energy levels in children with ADD and/or ADHD. Make sure the child gets protein for breakfast, too. Offer your child an egg (scrambled or poached) on whole wheat bread, and low-fat plain yogurt blended with a banana for sweetness. For an afternoon snack, offer nuts or any nut butters such as peanut butter or cashew butter. Nuts (of all kinds) are high in protein.

Green vegetables such as broccoli, kale, collard greens, spinach, and whole grains should also be included in the diet, These foods are excellent sources of calcium and magnesium. While calcium and magnesium are known for helping build strong bones, they also support cell membranes and helps the nervous system, especially in impulse transmission, which could improve a child's behavior. If your child hates vegetables, offer at least two servings of raw fruit daily.

Find activities that help your ADD/ADHD child build self-esteem. Children with ADHD often struggle to do well in and out of school, so it's important to find activities that build self-confidence. Most children with ADD/ADHD have a fondness for art, music, dance, and sports, so if your child has an interest in any of these activities, you can look for a class or activity in those areas. If your ADD/ADHD son or daughter hasn't found her niche yet, think about their particular talents.

Maybe your child is a creative writer or likes to sew. Creative writing or sewing classes might be just the thing. These activities boosts self-esteem, gives them freedom of expression, and helps them focus on what they CAN do rather than what they CAN'T do.

Compliment your children's abilities. Tell your children they're beautiful and that you love them every day. Families often assume their sons or daughters feel loved but they need to hear the words frequently to boost their self-esteem. Try to be a positive role model for your child by not shouting at them or calling them "dumb" or "stupid" or cursing at them. Establish boundaries to help them feel safe. For example, when your son or daughter does something wrong, you should tell them that it's wrong, but teach your child not to give up and show them how to do better next time.

Finally, don't be shy about discussing your child's challenges with teachers or other school staff who work with your child. It's important for you as a parent to introduce yourself to your child's teacher or principal and closely monitor your child's progress in school. Communicate with other parents nearby who have sons or daughters with ADD/ADHD, or check online message boards to see what other parents say about activities that work well with their ADD/ADHD children.
