today were saying that almost a whole crisis an epidemic of a_t_t_ and eighty
0:06
htm the last twenty years it’s been increasing five percent every year five
0:10
percent every year
0:12
for now it’s somewhere in some states
0:14
one out of five boys
0:16
or actually taking drugs
0:18
frady h_d_ lady di
0:20
and some states it’s nine boys to one girl we look at the statistics of the
0:25
statistics range differently
0:27
the jelly is three to one or ten to one
0:29
boys having a d dat h_d_ symptoms
0:32
overgrowth
0:33
serena focus on why that is we’re gonna focus on what creates a_t_p_
0:37
we’re going to focus on an eighty eight sti
0:40
we’re going to focus on what it is how we created it where it started
0:44
and then what you can do about it
0:46
because the solutions a very simple and the solutions are non-toxic non drug
0:50
solutions
0:52
all the remedies that i suggest there nontoxic and i’m trying
0:56
toxins and drugs as a remedy is not my expertise i feel you know how to help
1:00
you help the body that’s the good health should be as how can you help your body
1:04
be healthier an dvd it’s a disorder
1:07
it’s out very common today attention deficit disorder when i first became
1:12
aware of it was in the nineties
1:14
litter missed our interview used and i started to
1:17
researchers and realize that every man who came to me for counseling actually
1:21
had the symptoms of a didi
1:23
attention
1:24
deficit
1:25
disorder
1:26
attention deficit will wither women’s biggest complaints were they still today
1:30
their men’s the biggest complaints of men
1:32
as men don’t listen to prepare
1:34
thereof attention very quickly
1:36
and if you understand what attention deficit disorder symptoms are
1:40
i’ll go through them briefly
1:41
you’ll see that they’re kinda normal boy symptoms normal men symptoms
1:45
but exaggerated that’s the problem here you take a condition and you exaggerated
1:50
any becomes a disorder and it is a disorder
1:54
all really out what in response to this disorder now suddenly they’re giving out
1:58
medications
1:59
which do not cure it
2:02
at can take away symptoms for a while but actually can make the condition
2:06
works
2:06
so what are some of the symptoms of a de dat hdv
2:09
and being disorganized you’re kind of spaced out
2:13
you don’t remember things you run into room
2:15
and you’re going to do something and you start doing something outstanding
2:18
you before you finish that you start something else that’s one of the
2:21
symptoms that’s caught aideed eighty h_d_ inattentive
2:25
somebody’s talking you get distracted
2:28
uh… you can stay on task you talk to your child they just don’t hear you
2:32
they’re thinking about something else you talk to your husband
2:35
he doesn’t he read the disease thinkin about something else something else is
2:38
gripping his mind and you can take n
2:41
what you have to say
2:42
oppositional behavior which is you try to change a child no i don’t wanna
2:46
change from here to there
2:48
i resist change wanting to stay with one thing
2:51
it’s high perfect city hyper focus
2:54
uh… these are all hyper space and
2:56
attention deficit attention deficit disorder
2:59
after you got
3:00
hyperactivity
3:02
uh… which is
3:03
i’m pretty good for young kids at the dap you read it shows that this way
3:06
which is it is busy moving their body all the time they gotta keep their body
3:10
moving
3:11
at pier brea ca change is the condition is still there their brain is thinking
3:14
that way
3:15
but now the or part of the brain opens up to where they can actually be solving
3:19
problems in doing thing in their head as opposed to having to do things in their
3:23
body
3:23
so these are kids that are hyperactive embodies a twitching all the time
3:27
another symptom most people don’t realize that goes with a_d_d_ in eighty
3:30
eight sti
3:31
is hypersensitivity
3:33
casick ride to drop of a dime kids i think about themselves kids that are
3:37
crying all the time
3:38
hyper hypersensitivity
3:40
is also
3:41
uh… state of uh… a_d_d_ a d_h_ diesel a sense of the hyper state
3:45
hyperactive
3:47
hypersensitive
3:48
hyper focused uh… hyper fixed
3:51
hyper compulsive
3:52
you and repeat the same things over and over and over all your life any change
3:57
uh… so these are this is a state that
3:59
shows up in a variety of different ways and is
4:02
civic caught a syndrome
4:04
but the reasoning
4:05
you cook all these symptoms the gather is that there really is one cars for at
4:09
all
4:10
and that one cause just shows that differently according to a child’s
4:13
temperment
4:14
according to a person’s temperment
4:16
some people their temperament is more emotional
4:18
some people there temperaments more active
4:20
some people their temperament is more creative
4:23
think of new things start new things
4:25
some people there to permit
4:27
is the team work ah… more routine or e had more
4:31
more are compulsive they wanted to do this to do this and do this wanna finish
4:35
things
4:36
some kids one starting
4:38
a sick so you get these different temperaments and their normal
4:42
then you add a phenomena which is called inflammation in the brain
4:46
when you have information in the brain
4:49
does natural tendencies becoming saturated
4:52
and that’s where they do d_n_a_ d_h_ d_r_
4:54
they don’t know how to fix it so what they do is they give you something that
4:57
works somewhat for some kids in that car rental and adderall these are drugs that
5:03
are given the kids
5:05
well we have to know it doesn’t cure the condition in some cases it improves
5:09
symptoms
5:10
quite wonderfully
5:11
but it doesn’t cure the condition and if you understand we’re deeply you see it
5:15
makes the condition worse
5:16
overtime
5:18
one of these drugs they’re very similar very similar
5:21
to methamphetamine their speed
5:24
they stimulate a brain chemical called dopamine
5:27
and then suddenly a child begins to not need to take a risk for example not t_v_
5:32
to need to
5:33
have outburst i will not need to behave inappropriately to get attention
5:40
those that those activities would normally stimulate dopamine now you’re
5:43
taking a drug
5:44
to produce dopamine answer the brain can be ignoring more normally
5:49
so we see is that information in the brain
5:52
inhibits dopamine function
5:54
dopamine
5:55
is the brain chemical the gives us pleasure and attention
5:59
and focus
6:00
and motivation
6:01
silliest they put on one thing when i jumping all over the place when i have
6:05
in our body jumping all over the place
6:07
even for a child is a motion have said get plenty of dopamine
6:10
it’s only a couple pink in the perspective rather than just being on
6:14
that one emotion and not being embassy the whole picture
6:16
so flexibility adaptability
6:19
these are all aspects that happen when you have plenty of dopamine
6:22
video game for example is like taking a dopamine drug it stimulates the brain to
6:27
make dopamine with with danger with bright colors with sex with food with
6:32
movement was scoring
6:33
uh… challenge challenges your big government stimulator
6:38
ultimately in a healthy child the approval of your parents is the ultimate
6:42
dopamine stimulator you know sometimes is that if you do your best tools they
6:46
need a dessert
6:47
desert is the motivator there
6:49
because desert gives you a big burst into brain chemicals serotonin which
6:53
makes you happy incom
6:55
and opening which gives you a lot of pleasure
6:57
and energy so that sharply you using
7:00
desert sky like a little drug
7:02
to motivate them ultimately the best motivation is to please your parent that
7:06
will make me happy this is the right thing to do this is what we do is a
7:10
family
7:11
those motivators are being lost like background noise
7:15
till rock band playing really loud
7:18
which is these dopamine stimulators that our children are faced with all the time
7:23
so they do is fine
7:25
have a better understanding of it
7:26
where does it come from primarily why do we have this increasing amount all-out
7:31
while eighty d_n_a_ b_h_p_ symptoms are increasing in our society what we see is
7:35
that
7:35
pregnant mothers
7:37
have higher blood sugar
7:38
high blood sugar
7:40
causes something
7:41
and some resistance
7:43
and as the resistance actually inhibits the release of dopamine in the brain
7:48
so high blood sugar
7:49
also causes inflammation in the brain and the mother’s brain dead also affects
7:53
the child’s brain was developing
7:55
so the brain has the child is born with inflammation they have these symptoms of
8:00
a d_d_t_ various degrees
8:01
it insist are getting worse and worse and worse
8:04
it can be stopped by removing the information in the brain
8:07
one of the civil remedies for this for example that most people don’t know
8:11
simple remedy
8:13
vitamin c
8:16
grape seed extract great seed extract is known to take away inflammation in the
8:20
body
8:21
vitamin c is known to take away information the body gracie extract
8:25
actually
8:26
activates the vitamin c even more so doesn’t go right through your body
8:30
so research double-blind studies have shown
8:34
that three hundred milligrams a grape seed extract
8:37
six senate sick that i know a grams of vitamin c a day and children
8:43
reduce the symptoms of a d d_n_a_ d_h_
8:46
the will too
8:47
ritalin and had a role
8:49
so at least with that remedy you can get rid of
8:52
all the prescription drugs and know that you’re not hurting your child
8:55
and you give me your child are really
8:57
there certainly other factors involved
9:00
in terms of treating a_d_d_ an eighty hdm n_e_h_
9:04
but they’re very foundation just so we can stop giving our children drugs
9:08
who was the give your child methamphetamine caesar classy narcotics
9:13
as
9:13
as the f_d_a_ is said
9:15
this is not what you wanna be giving your child perience
9:18
i know so many parents go but it help but it helped
9:20
guess what there’s an alternative now
9:22
vitamin c and grape seed extract that is the first step
9:26
that doesn’t do everything but at least it’s better than drugs
9:30
and another discussion i would share with you out there remedies they can
9:34
even help it more
