17 Secret ADD ADHD Vitamins

Kindle Debut 90% off pricing (will be $9.99 soon!)

In this book you will learn the specific vitamins and nutrients that most ADD ADHD people lack.

More importantly, I show you easy ways to get these very important vitamins and nutrients.

From the Introduction...

Over the past decade I have been on a mission to help illuminate the Truth about ADD ADHD. Our society offers only one solution, drugs. If drugs were the answer there would be no need for a book like this. If ADD drugs like Adderall, Ritalin, and Vyvanse fix the root cause of ADD ADHD then there is no need to be concerned with nutrition.

We do not have a Ritalin deficiency, we have a nutritional deficiency.

Over the past decade I have been on a mission to help illuminate the Truth about ADD ADHD. Our society offers only one solution, drugs. If drugs were the answer there would be no need for a book like this. If ADD drugs like Adderall, Ritalin, and Vyvanse fix the root cause of ADD ADHD then there is no need to be concerned with nutrition.

We do not have a Ritalin deficiency, we have a nutritional deficiency.

This book will prove to you that there is overwhelming evidence that ADD ADHD symptoms can be alleviated naturally. Natural alternatives to medicine is often seen as week and non-effective. In the case of ADD ADHD, nutrition has proven to outperform ADD drugs in numerous studies.

The goal of this book is to share the scientific facts about the “17 Secret ADD Vitamins” and how you can benefit from these findings.

After pouring over scientific journals and clinical trials it has become clear that lack of nutrition is the main cause of ADD ADHD symptoms. The brain is the most nutrient demanding organ in the body.

When we don’t feed ourselves sufficient amounts of these vital building blocks, our bodies will naturally try to compensate. This is why ADD ADHD symptoms manifest.

Our modern diets leave our bodies lacking the main building blocks for healthy brain function. This should be no surprise to anyone. We have gone from a farming society to a “processed” food society. We eat fewer fruits and vegetables.

The ones we do eat have been laden with pesticides and artificial substances to “look” good on the produce isle. Much of these fruits and vegetables have travelled hundreds of miles leaving any remaining nutrient value “lost in transit”.

We thrive on fast foods and junk food and then we wonder why we are having trouble focusing. It has become increasingly difficult to eat a healthy diet.
This book is not a prescription for a complicated diet.

I discovered early on in my journey that there would have to be a better, easier way to get these crucial vitamins and nutrients into our bodies.

Thankfully, there are some excellent nutritional supplements that offer absorbable, bio-available nutrition .

By taking supplements we can be certain that we are at least “covering our bases”

It is my sincere hope that this information empowers you to have better days and reach your full potential.

Overcoming ADHD Without Medication: A Parent and Educator's Guidebook

A practical guidebook on how parents and teachers can help children overcome symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD - without stimulants or other medication.

There is much circumstantial, observational as well as scientific evidence that non-pharmaceutical methods of treating ADHD, including self-help, are not only of much value, but can effectively take a child out of the classifiable range.

Psychiatric medication addresses symptoms, but do not cure the illness itself. Lifestyle changes help almost all children to improve. Engaging in artwork, outdoor activities and nature helps many children with ADHD to focus. Many children with ADHD are visually-oriented.

Overcoming ADHD Without Medication was developed through years of research, field work in the public school system, and in working with individual students. The concepts presented here are effective, field-tested and can help most children to overcome symptoms of ADHD without ever needing to take psychiatric medications.

Professionals whose work is highlighted in Overcoming ADHD Without Medication are,
· Reading coach
· School psychologist
· Special education teachers
· Early childhood teachers

- Art teacher and professor

· Certified ADHD coach
· Clinical psychologists
· Educational authors
· Clinical studies
· University professors, researchers

Supplemental information from David Rabiner, Ph.D., Duke University on ADHD and Medication, Childhood Depression; Daniella Barroqueira, Ph.D., on Art and ADHD; Iowa State University research on Violent Video Games, ADHD and Aggression in children/teens. Information from Virginia State University researchers is included in an article entitled Children's Television Impacts Children's Executive Functions and Contributes to Later Attention Problems. Music and ADHD for parents and school principals is also highlighted.

A public school art teacher who had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as a teen, and who was on methylphenidate (Ritalin) and dextroamphetamine (Adderall) while in middle and high school shares his experience in successfully coming off psychiatric medications permanently.

Some of the non-pharmaceutical methods covered in Overcoming ADHD Without Medication, in addition to lifestyle changes and prevention, are art and art therapy, green therapy, nutrition, positive teaching methods and adjustments, positive adjustments in music, positive parenting adjustments, and neurofeedback. The need for love, nurturing, as well as personal attention, is also highlighted.

The book on ADHD is well-referenced, has an extensive bibliography and index, 15 photo-illustrations, six charts and graphs, as well as a recommended reading and resources section. We hope that it helps your child to be successful in school and in life.

The Gift of ADHD Activity Book: 101 Ways to Turn Your Child's Problems into Strengths (Companion Companion)

So much depends on how you look at things: Are you a glass-half-empty person, or do you discover advantages where other people find only weaknesses? When it comes to raising healthy, happy kids, positive encouragement and support can work miracles where attempts to change and control create frustration and resentment. In her first book, The Gift of ADHD, psychologist Lara Honos-Webb offers a positive, strengths-affirming new way to look at kids who present behaviors associated with attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Instead of struggling to “tame” your easily distracted child, she shows you how to appreciate your child’s creativity, sensitivity, and passion for living. In this book, she develops the ideas from The Gift of ADHD into 101 simple and engaging activities you can use to develop your child’s unique strengths.

The chapters of the book explore ways you can shift your thinking about different aspects of ADHD. Each starts with a short discussion of how a particular challenge can be reconceived as a strength. After that, the book dives into fun and positive activities you and your child can do together—often in just a few minutes—to help develop and reinforce the gifts of ADHD.
