adhd is almost always dietary related. reactions to certain foods mess with neurotransmitters.. its becoming more prevalent because the destruction of our diets on society is reaching a head.. with gene expression from the pregnant mothers, antibiotics prescribed too early killing gut bacteria, sugar and monster grains with too much gluten causing leaky gut and way too much processed food.. you have a perfect cocktail for adhd. Its an autoimmune response too the body attacking proteins that cross the blood brain barrier.. My son has adhd and I wish i had known all this sooner.. but ive caught it now. We treat his problems quite well just by removing gluten, dairy, processed food and making sure he gets probiotics and enough minerals from his food.
also its so much hard work and many parents dont have the patience or skill to deal with it so medication is better than nothing.. although that easy way out is probably why their kid has adhd in the first place.. it was for me. I ate crap when i was pregnant and got sick.. had a preemie and a c section and he was on glucse drip and medication before he even had his first milk. Then I was a tired busy mama who found it easier to give him frozen dinners. A far cry from these days, hes 6 now and he takes a full packed salad, fruit and home made sugar dairy and gluten free cake to school every day, has home cooked meals every day, no take out.. It is more than most parents have time for and their pateince cracks the second their kid starts refusing veggies and screaming for macdonalds.. the healthy diet basically makes us make those chemicals naturally in our own body.
