Old Wive s Tales and other things that can easily help with ADHD

Old Wive s Tales and other things that can easily help with ADHD Here are some tips that I have heard of parents who have had more than 15 years my work with ADHD children and their families. These are not clinically tested. Six suspects. These are not actions I would say that we are reliable and valid approaches to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but I wanted to continue, it seems, for some children, and I do not want the court if he can help the child or not . Then you can try this from time to time and see what happens. Some children are very sensitive to certain foods, regardless of whether they are sugar, sugar, in combination with carbohydrates, some food dyes, soda, or even some fruit. I personally have seen some children almost psychotic reactions to red grapes, for example. And many of my patients report that their parents their child has a significant reaction to various foods or beverages. So, here are some things that some of these are parents who work for them if their child is "off" in foods? 1) Peanut butter. Yes, some parents have told me that if their child is actually winding up after eating something that does not have a spoonful of peanut butter layer is the baby in about 10 minutes. Why? I have no idea. Perhaps the FAT or proteins, but I really do not know. 2) Alka-Seltzer, Alka-Seltzer, particularly gold. In the same situation above, the other parents report their child Alka-Seltzer. In fact, with the child, the "crazy", after the consumption of red grapes (and more times before the red grapes are the problem) and the Alka-Seltzer any time are working to address the problem within about 10 -- 15 minutes. I have more parents, the Alka-Seltzer in their purses just in case the children need if they are together. NOTE: Alka-Seltzer contains aspirin. Ever, aspirin, if a child has a fever, because it can cause bad things happen. This is probably OK for young people and adults. Consult your doctor. Why this work? Well, I think that probably has something to do with the level of sugar in the blood, the pH of blood, and pancreas. Sugar, I have already mentioned, the pH values more acid, which sends a message to the pancreas, most insulin, which raises and then drops quickly. Through the roller coaster levels of insulin, the child hyperactivity and mood may be serious problems. Well, this is far beyond my knowledge, that I am not an expert on blood sugar, etc., but I would say we have had good success with a simple intervention. If I have a child who has ADHD and has a terrible mood in the moing when you wake up, I recommend two things. First, sugar-free after 7 clock and, secondly, as soon as he wakes up, drink a small cup of orange juice. This so far has helped the situation every time with every child who has this problem. Well, I wish that you would never believe that blood sugar cause ADD. It is not. However, a small percentage of ADD children are very susceptible to problems such as food and environmental allergies, the problems of sugar in the blood, and the like. Add Just because children do not have these problems does not mean that children do not add these problems. Some, and suggested above, because they are strange, it might help some of you reading. Let me know if you can help. Oh, yes, as always, and ask your doctor before you do something like this. This is not "medical advice", but only the women, "Robinson Crusoe". . .
