ADHD question

[Bud Weiss]

You might want to check out the Nurtured Heart Approach and the books that
are listed on the site www.difficultchild.com Read the research page there
and you will see massive reductions in problem behaviors as well as all but
one student off of all drugs in one fairly large title one school within
less than two years after the school wide implementation of the Nurtured
Heart Approach. One of the books by Howard Glasser, the creator of Nurtured
heart is called "101 reasons to avoid Ritalin like the Plague."  Sandy
Newmark, MD, the pediatrician who worked closely with Andrew Weil among
others agrees with much of that book. http://www.doctornewmark.com/adhd.html

Newmark has many recommendations. Unfortunately, despite lectures I have
heard by him, he still holds out for Ritalin in some so called extraordinary
cases supported by an integrative approach.  He has not looked seriously at
breathing issues that I work with in having helped a number of students from
ages 8 up. Nor does he really look sufficiently into thyroid issues which I
am certain many of these children have. Counter intuitively, I believe they
are hypo not hyper thyroid and they are running on empty with adrenals
teetering on the verge of exhaustion. Environmental physicians like Doris
Rapp, MD, in her books describes so many chemical factors that contribute to
serious hyperactivity and how to avoid then as well as developing antidotes
for them.

Serious developments with nearly all of these can be avoided if the
children, most of whom are serious mouth breathers and often have malacluded
teeth as well due to mouth breathing--which you can learn about that at
http://orthodonticearlytreatment.com/index.php?home --- can be helped to
retrain their breathing, keeping their mouths shut doing simple supervised
appropriately increasing step exercises and proper reduced breathing for
several weeks and so many of them calm down from little more than that and
of course some modest and not radical restrictive improvements in their
diet. Newmark claims that if you go on a very clean totally organic diet for
3 weeks, you will clear more than 95% of all the toxic chemicals you have
stored in your body.  The children who have asthma are on medications that
produce hyperactivity. They are basically adrenalin type drugs. And then
there are the steroids which must be given regularly to protect the children
from the dangers of the adrenolin type meds like Albuterol or worse far
worse killers like the long acting Beta Agonists in Advair or Symbicort.

In Scotland, whole schools were addressed with the Buteyko Approach and the
changes were enormous in terms of the reduction of attentional deficits let
alone asthma. see Glasgow school children video here:
