ADHD and Natural Therapies

ADHD and Natural Therapies

A small pilot study was published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (2007 Dec;13(10):1091-7). The idea was to treat the 10 subjects with multiple natural therapies, including chelation, nutrition, environmental control, behavioral therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy and educational therapy. The subjects were aged 4-10 and had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and with ADHD. They were treated with a comprehensive program of natural therapies for 3-6 months. The results were judged by doctors, teachers and parents and all ten children demonstrated significant improvement in language skills, writing, behavior and social interaction. Also, urinary lead levels dropped in all of the subjects. Granted, this was a small study. It was not double-blind or placebo controlled. It does, however bring up the interesting possibility that children with ADHD may respond to a comprehensive program of natural therapies. It makes sense to use a multi-faceted approach and try to develop a safe and natural way to address this complex problem. A larger, objective study would be interesting to see.

Iodine, AGAIN

Iodine is pushed out of essential tissues by chlorine in sweeteners like Splenda, fluorine and chlorine in drinking water, and bromine in commercial baked goods.

Which means: take artificial sweeteners and GET FAT? Why? Your thyroid NEEDS iodine and when this hormone factory doesn't have enough raw materials to make hormones, then there is no product: YOUR METABOLISM SLOWS DOWN TO A HALT! We have a liquid Iodine

You might think that you can get it in iodized salt? The form is not readily accepted by your body.

Iodine is used to treat the following:
ADHD,fibrocystic breast ,breast cancer,mucous,heart disease,hemmorhoids,headaches, hypertension,liver disease,thyroid disorders,
80% of people in the Midwest are iodine deficient.
“Iodine is found in each of the cells in the body; and without it, life is not possible.”


Iodine is responsible for the production of all the hormones in the body.

Lead Levels and ADHD

Research appearing in Archives of Environmental Health (May/June, 1996;51(3):214-220) indicates that there may be a connection between lead leavels and ADD. Lead was measured in hair samples from 277 first graders. The data was correlated with questionnaires from parents and teachers. The researchers found a relationship between lead levels and negative ratings from teachers. They also found that lead levels tended to be high in students with doctor-diagnosed ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
