Re: ADHD The Easier Solution

[Guest guest]

KC,

Enjoyed that article. That has been my belief since April of this year. My

sons behavior changes like night and day when exposed to mold, and chemicals. I

thought he just a bit-hmmmm what's the word I'm looking for-well that he had an

over abundance of energy, like mountains of it, he have tantrums, couldn't

concentrate, just went all day. Like his nerves were in a frenzy. After

getting the school cleaned and our home free of chemicals and diet changes I

could see massive changes. Since, I can tell when he is exposed to something.

It is just amazing how much chemicals play a part in our daily health.

ADHD The Easier Solution

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.

disease by showing them how to live in a clean environment.
