ADD/ADHD: Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, and of course these run in the same vein, pretty much the same relative type situation, or disorder if you will, from a nutritional standpoint. I hesitate to call it a disease because it disturbs me that so many children get treated for this as if it were.

With ADD and ADHD, the child is having a hard time focusing, concentrating, they’re hyper, and yes, they’ve got things going on in their body, and these things that are going on, more times than not, is caused by a lack of good nutrition. They’re not able to sleep well, they don’t get a good meal, they get bombarded with sugar on top of sugar, and sugar is not just from a Twinkie. White sugar, white flour, white rice, white potatoes, or even white pasta, all these things convert to glucose type sugar when they enter the bloodstream. As a child is exposed to these type fast foods, day after day, they all knock down the body’s supply of Chromium. Now Chromium is very much needed in the body to metabolize sugar, and as we get exposed to these white food products it knocks down the amount of Chromium in the body. The child is left without the ability to metabolize sugar properly, therefore, they have hyperactivity, or the lack of being able to focus and concentrate. This is primarily due to a lack of good nutrition.

I would highly recommend in this case the Complete Foundation Kit. On top of that a little extra Chromium everyday, and for most children, based on how old they are, and how much body weight they have, a teaspoon a day extra, if the child is between 70 and 150 pounds. If the child is over 150 pounds, a tablespoon a day of extra Chromium and a little bit of extra Magnesium and Calcium wouldn’t hurt. An extra ½ ounce of Magnesium a day would give them that calming effect.

Children need nutrition they don’t need Ridlan, and these other terrible drugs, so before you go to something like that as your remedy to correct these children, get them off of the white flour, white sugar, white rice, white potatoes, and white pasta products. Getting the Complete Foundation kit is going, give them a little extra Chromium, (chromium should be after school) a little extra Magnesium (magnesium should be given before school) every single day, and you will see in my estimation a very, very big difference in these children. You have everything to gain on this respect, and you have absolutely nothing to lose. All these different type of drugs are designed to control a body that doesn’t need to be controlled. It simply needs to be fed good nutrition. Give your child raw fruits and vegetables as a large part of their meal. You can have pasta, but do it in whole grain. Yes, you can have rice, but learn to cook brown rice. I hate to say the potato itself is bad because the skin of the potato, the white potato, has a large amount of Potassium and other nutrients in it, and your child needs that, but they don’t need the deep fried fatty white potato part, which has hardly any nutrition left in it. If your child has a problem with ADD/ADHD you need to get them off these products and give them a good substitute. Substitute whole grains anywhere you can especially with bread and pasta. Get rid of the white sugar products. A good sweetener called stevia is a food supplement that you can find in your health food stores, and it is many times sweeter than sugar, but does not have any negative side effects like that of a white sugar product.
In extreme cases of ADD, a water soluble mineral called Platinum, early in the day
can be helpful. 1 tsp. for body weight 70 to l50 pounds. 1 Tbls. for body weight over l50 pounds. For ADHD, not the Platinum, but Gold taken at the same time and in the same doses as above can offer assistance to the body. You should also consider doing the toxic sludge cleanse and the immune boosting cleanse found in the Complete Cleanse Kit. Children's directions are available in the kit.

To re-cap a little bit on the products that you may need if you’re dealing with ADD/ADHD with your children is the Complete Body Balance Kit and the Complete Cleanse Kit. Extra Chromium after school events, directly after school, but not before school because now you are giving the child extra energy. This energy needs to be burned off in the after school time frame. The other minerals that you will need is Magnesium to keep them calm while they’re in school. It’s a very relaxing, anti-stress mineral, very calming mineral, and it’ll do that child a lot of good to keep them relaxed, and calmed down while they’re in the school setting. If it’s a very serious situation you may want to use a little bit of Gold. Gold has a very calming placid effect, so just prior to the child going to school, a little bit of Gold could be very beneficial. And then of course a natural product which is a food supplement called stevia in place of your white sugar products.
