Natural Supplement For Adhd – A Mirage Or A Miracle ?

Thursday, March 26th, 2009
I have just read about a mother who started a search for a natural supplement for ADHD after she read about a boy who was on three different prescriptions for ADHD and died of an overdose. Her own child who was on psychostimulants was extremely underweight and he was fading away before her eyes. So, did this mother find the natural supplements for ADHD she was looking for ? She persisted and her son was given Kava Kava, St. John’s Wort, Vitamin B complex, Melatonin for sleep problems, Gabba and Vitamin C. Within three years, her son was greatly improved and the ADHD symptoms of hyperactivity, restlessness and lack of focus had all greatly improved. In this particular case, it was a miracle because she was able to stop ADHD medication which she was so worried about.

Frankly there has not been enough research done on these natural supplements for ADHD and the jury is out on a lot of them. In this case it is a mirage because the magic natural supplement for ADHD has not yet been found ! However let us have a look at the ones which have been backed by more research and/or have given promising results. In many cases, it is sufficient to feed a child a healthy balanced diet and the supplements I outline below will be an added benefit because in many cases, they alleviate ADHD symptoms.

My favourite natural supplement for ADHD is Valerian which is great for helping children to sleep and there has been enough research to show that it is safe enough. I use it myself to sleep. Valerian has done well on some trials showing that children on it were able to get to sleep much quicker. It is sometimes given when children are on medication as they have problems in falling asleep. I would not use Melatonin which has been found to be risky for sexual development in children.

The Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are called essential because our bodies cannot make this substance and ADHD children have lower levels of these. Fish oils, flaxseed oil and olive oil are all sources of Omega3 and Omega 6 , which are the main components. The jury is still out on these but there were good results form an experiment with Vitamin C and flaxseed oil which did reduce fidgeting, impulsiveness and erratic behaviour.

Wise parents may add Vitamin C and fish oils to their children’s diet if they are not getting the full amount of fruit and vegetables every day. That is probably the best and safest thing to do. The best solution of all is to opt for a natural ADHD homeopathic remedy which is free from side effects and is non-addictive which no conventional ADHD medication can claim to-day. You may want to know what ingredients are selected and why they are selected. Also, what guidelines and practices are being followed. You should be wary of any natural supplement for ADHD which is not backed by guarantees of safety and purity. The link below will take you to one of the most renowned companies in the USA for natural remedies.

Acai Berry Juice and Natural Supplements

Saturday, March 21st, 2009
According to data from the USDA, the Acai berries ORAC value (antioxidant capabilities) is 200-750% higher then any other fruit or vegetable. Science has linked Free Radicals as forces to such diseases as, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, aging, and many more.

“Don’t underestimate the threat free radicals pose to our health. Scientists now believe that free radicals are casual factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease to arthritis to cancer to cataracts. In fact, free radicals are a major culprit in the aging process itself. By controlling freeradicals, anti-oxidants can make the difference between life and death, as well as influence how fast and how well we age”

A quote from Lester Packer, Head of Packer Laboratory -Dept. of Molecular and Cell Biology from, The University of Calf. at Berkeley.

So the evidence of what free radicals can do is now a fact, proven by modern science. Also proven is the fact that antioxidants are the solution to controlling and eliminating them, and preventing the damage they do to our bodies.

What are free radicals and healthy cells

Cells are made up of many atoms. When these atoms are healthy, they make an exact copy of themselves to keep the body healthy. What makes a healthy atom is the fact they have paired (2) electrons. Free radicals are atoms that only have one (1) electron. They go around stealing electrons from healthy cells, thus destroying and damaging them. When these damaged cells replicate, they make an exact copy of an un-healthy cell, thus leading to disease and premature aging.

Why not all supplements are created equal

Just because you take a supplement, does not mean that you will receive all the benefits of that supplement. Because the Acai berry can start to lose its potency within 24 hours of harvest, it needs to be processed in some way, immediately.

The freeze dried process is one of the most effective ways to capture all the qualities and potency. When this method is used properly, your cells receive all the nutritional benefits of the Acai berry. This can have a dramatic and positive effect on your body. If not done correctly, you are missing out on the health benefits, as well as wasting you hard earned money.

Whatever natural supplement you choose, be sure that it is easily absorbed by your body. Some supplements, in a pill or capsule form, can travel through the entire digestive system, and still be undissolved when the reach the colon. If they reach the colon in the undissolved state, your body can no longer realize the benefits, they are wasted along with your money. Be sure they are easily absorbed, and in the correct quantities for your body.

Through modern science, we know that almost all known diseases and ailments are a direct result of what we are feeding, or not feeding are bodies. Don’t under estimate the importance of natural health supplements have in repairing and maintaining our cells for a healthier you!

Boosting Your Metabolism Effortlessly With The Help Of Natural Supplements

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
Effortlessly boost your metabolism with supplements that are natural to the body will not do damage to any of your body organs.

 Our body is an amazing piece of natural equipment.  Most of the time, we are not even aware of the fact that our body is running and doing as many tasks as it is at one time.  It is certainly something that we take for granted all too often in our lives.  If our health starts to go downhill, however, our body may be on our mind on a constant basis.  It is a much better idea to make sure that we are taking care of ourselves regularly before something goes wrong than to try and correct it once it does.

 Staying fit and making sure that you’re not carrying around too much weight is a very important thing to many people.  Unfortunately, it is also something that is very difficult to achieve in the busy lives that most people follow.  That doesn’t mean that it is something that is impossible for us to do.  For example, we can make sure that we are helping our body along to the greatest extent possible by keeping our metabolism running at optimal levels.  This can either be done by eating properly, getting exercise or taking supplements.  Any one of these will work or you can try a combination of two or more.

 Taking supplements to boost your metabolism is a relatively easy thing to do.  There are plenty of supplements out there which help to fire up our metabolism and to keep it running well for us throughout the day.  The main thing is that you choose something which is all natural so that you do not end up damaging this vital part of your body in the process.  Taking man-made chemicals in order to alter the way that our body functions is simply a bad idea from the start.

 Although there are a lot of different supplements which can increase our metabolism, one of the safest and most effective as green tea.  You can either take this in its natural form by brewing it as a tea or get it concentrated in the form of a pill.  Green tea has several natural ingredients which can keep our metabolism running smoothly as well as some which work as an antioxidant.  Make sure that you take this natural supplement on a regular basis and you will see results come your way within a short period of time.

 To Your Health,

Herbal and Natural Supplements For Treating Cold/Flu Infections

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
Echinacea, zinc, vitamin C, and garlic are all the most well-known and respected supplements concerning the maintenance and strengthening of the immune system. Echinacea contains polysaccharides, flavonoids, caffeic acid derivatives, essential oils, polyacetylenes, and alkylamides, which contribute to the herb’s therapeutic benefits. These constituents are responsible for a variety of immuno-stimulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer properties.

Echinacea possesses the ability to enhance the movement of white blood cells into infected areas of the body. Echinacea also affects many of the immune system’s cells that are responsible for slowing viral and bacterial infection. Additionally, this herb enhances the performance of macrophages in the immune system, which are responsible for engulfing foreign material like bacteria, viruses, and dead cellular matter. Echinacea also has the ability to kill viruses that indirectly encourage the production and release of interferon, which is a substance that potentially blocks the transcription of viral RNA.

Zinc has been recognized for an extended amount of time as a protection against colds. It is well known that zinc deficiencies are linked to immune system-related disorders as well as the increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. Zinc throat lozenges have become very popular in treating colds over the last few years. One recent study found that zinc is not only beneficial to the immune system, but also necessary for its optimal function.

Vitamin C is one of the most well-known nutrients for battling the effects of colds and flu. Its benefits have been known for years, with a large body of research indicating its effectiveness in reducing the severity and duration of colds an flu. Additionally, vitamin C acts as an immunostimulant by enhancing white blood cell production, increasing interferon levels and antibody responses, promotes secretion of thymic hormones, and improves connective tissue.

There is conflicting information on how much vitamin C one should take, but most experts agree that the FDA’s recommended dietary intake is not sufficient. Many doctors suggest taking large doses, as much as 10,000 mg when suffering from a cold or flu. One of the great things about vitamin C is that it can be found abundantly in many fruits and vegetables. The best food sources include broccoli, sweet peppers, collards, cabbage, spinach, kale, parsley, melons, potatoes, tangerines, and Brussels sprouts.

Garlic, which is extremely well known as a culinary additive, is actually one of the most commonly used medicinal herbs as it is found throughout the world and employed for various therapeutic purposes for thousands of years. It is common in Chinese herbal medicine and has recently received a great deal of attention in the U.S. and other Western countries. Recent research has found that garlic possesses powerful capabilities relating the immune system and the body’s ability to fight infection. Garlic possesses antiviral and antibacterial capabilities and has been shown repeatedly to simulate and improve performance by the body’s immune systems. Studies on garlic have shown that it has the ability to actually kill flu and cold viruses. Garlic also can protect the body from invading virus cells by enhancing the body’s immune functions.

Additional herbs and natural supplements that are useful in fighting cold and flu viruses include goldenseal, pau d’arco, astragalus, licorice, peppermint, and beta carotene. No matter what you choose to do by way of a doctor or natural alternative, supplements such as these discussed have zero side effects if taken as recommended on the bottles label. Natural vitamins and herbs can be found at your local or internet health food store.
