ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common behavioral disorder that’s occurring at epidemic levels in children (and some adults). With this disorder the child acts without thinking, is hyperactive, has trouble focusing. They may understand what’s expected of them but have trouble following through because they can’t sit still, pay attention of focus on details.
The Ancient Seers of India who cognized Ayurveda stated 5,000 years ago that Apana Vata (the subdosha of Vata residing in the intestinal or pelvic region) and Prana Vata (the subdosha of Vata residing in the area of the brain) go out of balance together. Modern science has described this relationship as the “gut-brain connection”. Now we know that the friendly bacteria which reside in the gut make about 90% of the neurotransmitters affecting the brain. Therefore, if we truly want to get to the root cause of imbalanced mental activity, we must begin our search with the balance of the gut flora.
Unfortunately, every immunization a child receives destroys this friendly bacteria. The same occurs with antibiotic use. Both pharmaceuticals destroy this delicate balance of the gut flora, creating at the same time, both digestive disturbances, along with mental, behavioral and emotional imbalances. Therefore, our treatment protocols are designed to give attention to both areas: we regrow the friendly bacteria in the gut, as well as chelate the heavy metals (aluminum and mercury) from the immunizations, and rebalance normal brain functions using the various herbal formulas which not only re-awaken the brain but balances the different functions of the brain as well. By doing so, we have saved hundreds of children from taking medications that would only take the symptom away, but not address these deeper imbalances.
