When you get the correct "why" for something, this opens the door to an effective handling. So it is with ADHD and indeed most or even all "mental illness." Now that we understand what truly causes it, a safe and effective remedy is suddenly in plain view.
But it does not stop there: drinking soft drinks also causes the same effect, because they also contain refined sugars. Looking at the quantity of these highly unhealthy soft drinks consumed by some children it is hardly surprising that they are acting like....well, someone being slowly poisoned.
Refined sugars cause behavioral problems because they deplete the body of the nutrients that are essential for neurological health. Such nutrients include the B vitamins and several vital minerals, such as magnesium and zinc. The simple fact of the matter, a fact studiously ignored by psychiatry, is that when the body is deficient in these vitamins and minerals, the unfortunate owner of that body will exhibit both mental and physical disorders.
It is little wonder then that commensurate with an increase in junk marketed by an irresponsible and avaricious food industry and fed to our children by uninformed parents under the blind eye of negligent or corrupt governments, there has been an increase in those symptoms dubbed "ADHD."
There is another source of poisons that can play havoc with neurological health and brain function. It often damages brain and nerves permanently and irreparably (a horrible thing to do to any child) and that is drugs. Drugs are as much poisons as refined sugars, refined carbohydrates and so forth and indeed are often far MORE poisonous. Among the worst and most devastating of these are the psychiatric drugs that are the almost exclusive stock in trade of psychiatry. It is little wonder then that the more we drug the population, the more "mentally ill" the population becomes.
It is a tragic irony that a child suffering from symptoms that are caused by the fact that he or she has been fed poisons in his diet is "treated" by feeding him more and often worse poisons. And then everyone wonders why his physical and mental health deteriorates!
Parents of course are rarely told these truths by doctors who do not know or psychiatrists who have a vested interest in pushing the drugs or governments that do not seem to care much about their own citizens.
As a result we have permitted the psycho-pharmacy to set in train in the name of corporate profits a true humanitarian and social catastrophe as tens of millions of our children are dosed up with various drugs that cause them brain and nerve damage and not only do not handle but actually exacerbate the true reasons for behavioral problems.
The true answer to these various behavioral problems or lack of focus is to remove soft drinks, cookies, and sugary breakfast cereals from the child’s diet, to give your children proper foods that enhance their health and do not poison them. Such proper foods include unprocessed foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and super foods like wild blue-green algae. Do that and they cease to exhibit such behavioral problems.
Instead of allowing our children to be drugged and thereby done irreparable damage and impaired from the outset in their ability to survive, it would be smarter and kinder to stir ourselves to do something about their diets. That would include removing junk-dispensing vending machines out of our schools, reformulating the school lunch programs so that they supply children with healthy foods that promote learning, mental health and their overall well being. Of course the primary responsibility for the care of children resides with the parents so there is a crashing need to dispel parental ignorance with information on how feed their children right.
It would be an act of wisdom and indeed responsibility also to ban all marketing of unhealthy products to children. How can any civilized society that wishes to ensure any kind of a future for itself allow companies that manufacture products that cause obesity, "ADHD" and other disabilities to promote those products to children?
Of course this may be highly inconvenient to sectors of the food industry that rely on the public being ignorant enough to go on buying its junk. It may hurt the psychiatric-pharmaceutical axis whose profits and power depend upon the public being duped into believing its myriad drugs are all vitally necessary. It may also involve schools, parents and educators in a bit of hard work but what is on offer at the end of all this is healthy drug-free and well balanced children. But what could be harder and less gratifying than the current scenario of having to cope with children driven to all manner of erratic behavior, obesity and physical illness by the poisons we feed them, then further deranged or incapacitated by the drugs we give them?
In the end of course even the criminal organizations responsible for this health debacle will win if we start to do things right because the way things are going at the moment there soon will not be a society to sustain them.
Once the parasite kills the host, it too dies.
