WELCOME TO
MY BRAIN - MY EDUCATION
Where the only limitation
is the one you place upon yourself

Attention Deficit Order -
Who's attention & who's deficit?

Are kids not getting enough
quality time with their parents?

 ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder
& ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
is way too often what a kid is called who's for some reason
not happy & are acting "uncontrollable". 

 Drugs are too simple of an answer
for such a complex situation.

There are many factors to consider
before taking chemical medications:
1) often times various ones have to be tested before
proper type & doses are some how achieved.
2) Long term unhealthy side effects, especially physically
to the liver. Emotionally, to the self-esteem for being labeled "sick" and the various "learning problems" often times are made worse with the drugs, as their senses are dulled and thinking becomes unclear.

 Why not take the same route of experimentation
with the alternative path?
  It has no side effects & when it is supervised with a
Healer of experience in such matters and with various nutrients that have shown to be helpful to kids of all ages who "seem" unable to concentrate linearly.

They are artists and they have a different kind of mind,
not a "sick" mind, just a different one than education had cultivated with it's linear approach.
They are quite possibly psychic and even creative genesis
if empowered to find their gifts!

To break the will or not to - 
that is the question!

and the answer is-

There is always a good reason
for bad behavior
and all too often it is a cry for help.

So, instead of outward disciplining-
which never works really, without unhealthy side effects
 (especially on smart, creative, overly sensitive and
 most likely psychic, kids- which most ADD kids are.)

With outward disciplining they respond by taking either of these two roles and volley back & forth between the two:

  the rebel- When things seem unfair by those who
care for them they are drawn to hurting others
(becoming a bully as a way of getting back at the ones
who bully them, through hurting younger siblings,
or smaller kids).
In addition they may develop self destructive habits
(a smoke, a drink, eating too much, etc.) that are
confused as "rewards" that they give themselves because they will go against the "rules" of person(s) who they feel they must rebel from.

the victim - they mainly use self-destructive habits
that are confused as rewards that they give themselves-
a smoke, a drink, not eating or eating too much.
Often times they attempt to be the "good kid" and
focus on other people's needs while they ignore their own. (This may lead to an outburst of rebel energy.)

Many good stories are about the rebel and/or the victim
who rises up and becomes the hero.

We are living in a time when we all
need to be heros to help our planet
to evolve into a healthy, peaceful place.

Cultivating self discipline-
teaching & modeling verbal, psychic, emotional,
& physical self-defense.
(a martial arts training with a kind & wise teacher
is the best thing a parent can do for an "ADD" kid.)

This comes as we cultivate the will with wisdom, using unconditional love as our guide -  seeking to empower
kids into seeing for themselves what is best for them
and why.
This teaches them to trust their natural instincts
to be attracted to and do good things for themselves. 
If we force them to do, what we think is good for them,
even if it is - they will always have a block against doing good things for themselves, themselves.  And as stated above- they will either, rebel as a reaction
to the forced behavior, in order to reconnect
with their spirit, or they loose their ability
to create the life they want in the future, and became subservient in all their relationships
throughout their lives or volley back & forth
which looks like Manic-Depression
to the medical community.

Through a parent being a living example
in their own life of how they live regarding healthy habits
and coping with stress, and accomplishing goals.
A child naturally gets in touch with who they really are,
and they come to see who they want to become -
and they have real confidence to know that they can
become it & they easily can do what's best for them, naturally if we empower them to see that they can,
they will continue to.

Giving them choices over personal decisions: what to eat, wear, do for fun
(negotiating fairly so that the child's needs are
within reason & the context of the parents flow and needs and making sure to keep educating them about their body, mind, and heart's needs, so they can make wise decisions) allowing them to have the dignity of being heard, & their voice being considered in negotiations that concerns them creates good decision makers for their own lives.

This gives living proof to the message
that is often said but not lived between parents & their kids.

"Together, we will share this journey
& I am in your corner."

 INSTEAD OF THE NORM WHICH IS:
(epically for ADD kids)

       "You don't know what's best for you, I must discipline you, until you know what is best, and if you don't do it,
you will be punished."

Again, this causes kids to rebel
or loose their spark of selfhood
which later creates several behavior problems,
meanness and self-destructive behaviors including not being able to commit to a relationship or career path &/or later being labeled with what is being called:Manic-Depression or for those who've lost their spark of self-hood they become the ones who are labeled with Chronic depression
These are labels for those who are highly sensitive
and are not being understood
by authority figures in early development.

We are so much more than chemicals & brains-
if we laugh, the whole brain chemical changes.
We are here to grow, & these people are sensitive,
and being misunderstood they are not "sick".

The Medical community,
(who hardly studies nutrition) mostly thinks the answer is to admit that you have a disease,
and through acknowledging that it's one that you will never heal from and taking your medication all your life, you may have a "manageable life".
All this does is set people on the path of medication to "cope" with the "sickness" all your life and this path only makes them sicker.

What a profitable business!!!

Once we begin to understand that humans were never meant to go about their lives at the stressful pace we now call "normal"!

And that we all can heal, if we take the time to do so.
When traumatic stuff comes up,
we need to take time off to deal with it.
 
In other cultures, one would be told to go on a walk about
to review & regain ones life vision.

Unconscious behaviors can be healed if we understand
the whole picture of who we are:
eternal beings of many life times,
that are here to grow spiritually and
get free of all that keeps us
from that growth.
Being grateful to all the blessings in our lives-  & reconnecting the disconnects of our childhood helps A LOT.

Letting the inner mother & Father nurture
& direct the inner child, for a balanced inner family. 

This is the path to healing.

The following are a list of factors that can contribute to ADD.
If a child has a low score on all of these factors, 
they are likely to exhibit some or all of the symptoms of what is now called "ADD".

Dietary contributors to ADD symptoms:

1. Way too much refined sugar intake 
{use: Grade B maple Syrup & Sucanat 
(dehydrated sugar cane juice)} 
They may have a yeast imbalance as well that are adding to the behaviors as well,  and yeast feeds on the sugars- acidophilus helps this as well as taking a Yeast  balancing supplements. Yeast Defense by Nutrition Now is a good one that has many helpful things in it such as: Caprylic Acid, Pau D' Arco (good to build immunity against fungus & molds too), Garlic, grapefruit Seed Extract & Chlorophyll.

2. Poor food combining and poor digestion
 that results in not getting nutrition from foods eaten
& constipation &/or sluggish symptoms
{ Eat grains & animal proteins at separate meals with veggies & at least one meal with raw veggies
- fresh juices are great
(tofu which is a bean & therefore combines with protein or starches) raw fruits eaten in AM or between meals.}

3. Heavy low nutritional foods
that have little or no nutritional value
& leave us still hungry & is a main contributor to obesity.
{Use Superfood combinations for across the board nutrition in a food based form: Ultimate Green by Nature's Secret &  Barlean's Greens & oil combos by Barlean's Organic Oils, and a new one, Enriching Greens by Natural Factors.}

Warning: Be sure you are not allergic to something in the mix, however small does could help the immune system to heal  the allergies & these are very concentrated & you need to drink at least 8 cups of water everyday or more & give up drinking coffee, black teas or soft drinks by finding non-caffeine alternatives. Coffee lowers our immune system as do other poisons in the body.

4. Preservatives & other additives
(especially hydrogenated oils which can NEVER be broken down, causing cellulite & other health problems) are the main causes in many illness complications and will eventually be especially linked with cancer.

5. Mercury & other poisons in vaccinations (and in dentistry and other toxic chemicals in foods and our environment) can effect our overall immune systems & therefore our behaviors
as well as other medications that are laced with additives,
as well as depleting the immune & digestive system of friendly bacteria through taking antibiotics repeatedly without replenishing them with Acidophilus (many different strains, Bifidum only for infants & small kids).

Please check out Dr. Mercola's information
before you immunize with vaccinations:
 www.mercola.com

Super foods: like chlorella & spirulina, other greens, raw organic nuts & various high potency foods &  herbal combination supplements are best to build the immune system, to be added to a whole foods focus.

A lifestyle that includes: deep sleep, meditation & light, consistent, joyful, exercise along with
a healthy balance of fun!

Nutritional Imbalances caused by any of these
or a combination of these:
Hypoglycemia, &/or  Food & Seasonal Allergies Yeast,  Parasites
(in blood &/or intestines), Molds, Fungus, &/or Environmental Toxins, a run down system due to eating processed foods &/or
too many antibiotics.

A connection with deep soul growth
can change everything we do in our life.
Life changing experiences can alter the way one thinks for ever.
This is the poetic mind of an artist- an ever expanding being who has been now told that they are "sick" when they see our way of doing things and don't just want to "fit" in.

More than likely,in another learning environment
they would flourish.

They simply learn differently
then how most are traditionally taught.
