ADHD
Katherine Annala 2012
ADHD is considered a neurobiological disorder that inhibits a child’s ability to balance activity, perform tasks, and regulate behavior. Children with this disorder can have functional difficulties in the school environment, at home, and with peer relationships. Typical symptoms include a child’s inability to sit still for a reasonable period of time, act without thinking, and not finishing tasks. Children with this condition become at advanced risk for gambling, depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
Recommendations:
Start with an elimination diet to determine food sensitivities.
Avoid foods with a high glycemic index
Eat small regular meals
Increase protein intake
Spend less time with TV and video games, more time in nature
Exercise every day
Acupuncture
Supplements:
Melatonin
High EPA Fish Oil
L-Carnitine 100mg
Iron
magnesium
Zinc Gluconate (often too high in copper, deficient in zinc)
NeuBeCalmed
Chinese herbal formulas
