Alternative Natural Treatments for ADD and ADHD

    Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is a
    behavioral condition characterized by a reduced attention span and may be accompanied
    by hyperactivity. ADHD occurs in both children and adults.

    It is estimated that 4 to 6 percent of the US population has ADHD/ADD. One half to two
    thirds of children with ADHD/ADD will go on to have the disorder as adults. Children with
    ADHD/ADD often have behavioral and learning difficulties in school. Adults regularly have
    problems with memory and concentration. Children and adults with ADHD/ADD may also
    experience attention problems, mood disorders, motor problems, addictions, and/or alienation.

    A recent study found that over 2 million children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
    (ADHD) are being treated with stimulant medications. This is a cause for concern due to the
    possible association of drug stimulants with growth suppression, and many ADHD children
    don't respond to stimulant drugs or can't tolerate their side effects.

    The study recommended alternative therapies including nutritional supplementation as
    an effective addition to ADHD treatment. Supplementation with healing nutrients such as
    huperzine A, DMAE, magnesium, and vitamin B6 can help improve ADHD symptoms in
    children and adults.

    Drugs and ADD

    Prescription drugs, such as methylphenidate (Ritalin), are common treatments for
    attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A study reports that using music as
    an auditory stimulation may be an effective treatment for educational problems among
    ADHD/ADD children.

    Home Remedies for ADD/ADHD

    There are a number of ADD natural remedies, including change in diet, routines and
    checklists and natural supplements. A few examples of foods you should avoid are all
    forms of refined sugar (simple carbohydrates) and any products that contain it. Also
    remove junk food and all foods that contain artificial colors, flavorings, monosodium
    glutamate (MSG), yeast, or preservatives. Avoid carbonated beverages, which contain
    large amounts of phosphates.

    Phosphate additives may be responsible for hyperkinesis (exaggerated muscle activity).
    High levels of phosphorus and very low calcium and magnesium levels (which can be
    revealed through a hair examination) can indicate a propensity for hyperactivity and
    seizures. Meat and fat also are known to contain high phosphorus levels.

    Routines are important for children with ADD/ADHD so they know what is expected of
    them. Checklists are good ways of letting the child know what is in store for them for the
    day. This will help them be prepared for what is happening next and may prevent
    breakdowns. Once a child completes the checklist they should be rewarded in some
    way to show them they are doing a good job.

    ADD Natural Remedy

    Listol is an alternative, all natural supplement formulated to work with the body to help
    with ADD/ADHD. Listol supplies the body with nutrients that are lacking and causing the
    symptoms of ADD/ADHD. Unlike prescription medications for the treatment of ADD/ADHD
    Listol does not have the unwelcome side effects. Below is a list of ingredients in Listol:

    * Vitamin B6 - Pyridoxine is essential for proper function of the nervous system.

    * Iron - Research indicates that iron deficiency is associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity
    disorder in children.

    * Magnesium - In a study of 116 children with ADHD magnesium deficiency was observed
    in 95% of the subjects. Analysis of the data showed a correlation between levels of magnesium
    and the quotient of development to freedom from distractibility.

    * Zinc - A study conducted to explore the relationship of zinc nutrition to the severity of
    attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in a middle-class American sample
    with well-diagnosed ADHD showed that serum zinc levels correlated at with parent-teacher-rated
    inattention.

    * Copper - When supplementing with zinc it is always important to take additional copper
    to prevent deficiency of this trace mineral, as zinc and copper compete for absorption.
    Furthermore, copper levels are observed to be lower in children with hyperactivity.

    • Phosphatidylserine - An essential phospholipid, phosphatidylserine can ameliorate
    symptoms of ADHD.

    * Di-Methyl Glycine - Abnormal glucose metabolism is a proposed contributor to ADHD and
    treatment with dimethyl glycine may improve symptoms of hypoglycemia, which can occur
    in some patients with ADHD.

    * Glycine - Glycine is a basic amino acid which is vital for proper nervous system function.
    * GABA Powder - GABA pathways in the brain appear to play a role in certain cognitive
    disorders like ADHD.

    * DMAE Bitartatrate - DMAE is a precursor for phosphatidylcholine, an important phospholipid
    in the brain. Supplementation with DMAE has demonstrated improvements in hyperkinesis, an
    older term for ADHD.

    * Huperzine A Extract - This natural compound is drawing much attention for its effects on
    cognitive function, enhancing memory and treating cognitive deficits.
