It continues to seem that nutrition alone can ameliorate many previously believed “endemic” issues.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

I have always believed this was mainly a diet issue. That and kids growing up today with electric devices do not train their brains to focus for long periods of time such as when reading books.

Anything correlated with upper class whites can be shown as ‘healthy’. Anything correlated with poverty will appear ‘unhealthy’

Kids whose parents eat caviar and lobster have fewer problems with ADHD than kids who live withing 4 blocks of a liqueur store.

ADHD = Boys will be Boys so drug 'em

Yep.

Another dirty secret is that taking 100mg of Vit B-1 is more effective than any anti-depressant. But a B-1 tab only costs a few cents.

This makes me wonder if there’s any truth to the theory that ADD is evolved for hunting.... but it makes even more sense if it’s a result of minerals and essential compounds being out of balance.

It may also be not so much WHAT food you eat, it could be what is in or not in the food.

A grad student in poultry science told me years ago that the chemistry of an egg is not the same as it was when I grew up.

This change in food chemistry has an effect on the gut bacteria such that normal flora does not develop properly. If you want to look that subject up there is a ton of literature on it.

Keep artificial additives out of your kid’s diet.

My son was extremely sensitive to artificial vanilla extract. I had to use real vanilla extract or he would literally bounce off the walls.

Had a friend whose son turned into a sadistic monster with Red 40. She could tell every time he got some.

It weird that people are so conscientious about not putting red food coloring in hummingbird food, and feeding their pets natural, no additive pet food, and yet let their kids eat anything without a thought.

the big thing that makes kids adhd is sugar.

One of my kids had behavior issues at school. What we discovered was that kid had issues controlling blood sugar levels, particularly after being given a high carb breakfast of cereal. Blood sugar would spike and then crash.

Switched to ensuring a high-protein low-carb breakfast of eggs, ham, etc, and things stabilized nicely.

Humans are not designed for high amounts of sugar and processed carbs.
