ADHD The Easy Way

ADHD The Easy Way
By: Dr George W Graham
ADHD is a very rapidly growing part of the health care industry.
The symptoms are varied, including: irritability, hyperactivity and
behavioral problems. Many kids are so affected that they require some
pretty hefty drugs to control them.
I spoke at a medical conference in Denver in 2004. One of the other
speakers was a pharmacology researcher. He brought up a statistic that
indicated that kids on Ritalin [one of the prevailing drugs for ADHD]
tend to become addicted to methamphetamines.
On the radio the other day, NPR was talking about giving these kids
marijuana for the symptoms.
What are we doing to our kids?
According to the Psychology Department @ the University of Tennessee,
kids with TRUE ADHD average about 5-7% of a normal classroom.
However, somewhere between 50% of kids in school today are
diagnosed and treated for ADHD.

What does this tell us? There aren't as many kids with ADHD as we are
led to believe. Why are we drugging the kids without true ADHD?
Because these kids are a behavioral problem.
Surprisingly, we find that when we get rid of mold and toxic chemicals
in a house, kids with ADHD in the home tend to get better. Almost
immediately they have to go off their drugs.
Case file: We consulted with a school on the east coast. The school had
sick kids [sinus infections and ADHD] and teachers [sinus infections
and cancer]. The school board chose to do nothing. The people on the
school board had an agenda that didn't include the health of the kids.
Many of the parents took their kids out of school to home-school.
Guess what?
The kids with ADHD who were now being home schooled, had to go
off their Ritalin.
The logic behind this is easy to follow.
When mold grows in the house, car or school, chemicals are given off.
These chemicals are known as mycotoxins. These mycotoxins cause
many different problems from cancer to dandruff.
One class of mycotoxins is called neurotoxins. These toxins affect the
nervous system. They can cause hyperactivity, confusion and even
hallucinations. We had one home where the family saw rats. The pest
control company said they had never had rats. We removed the mold
and the rats went away. Hallucinations caused by neurotoxins.

It is these mold toxins that can cause symptoms that can lead to
misdiagnosis. These toxins get into the body and mimic normal
chemicals that have specific functions. These normal chemicals may tell
the legs to move or tell the body when to calm down. If these normal
chemicals are bypassed or blocked by the toxins, then weird things
begin to happen in the child's world.
If your legs moved when you didn't want them to, wouldn't you be a
little hard to get along with?
What is the cure?
[Let's get one thing cleared up first. Getting rid of mold will not change
kids with real ADHD.] Although, it may help.
Too much moisture or too little ventilation in the building causes mold.
1. So dry out the house. Make sure the vents in your attic and
crawlspace are open and working.
2. Fix leaks in bathrooms and kitchens.
3. Insulate A/C ducts and water pipes.
4. Get and use dehumidifiers to dry the air.
5. Leave washer and dryers open when not in use.
6. Make the yard drain away from the house.
Don't drug your kids. Cure their ADHD the natural way. Clean up your
environment.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
