Discover The Foundation Of Good Health That
You May Never Have Heard Before And How
It Effects Your Child With ADD/ADHD 

 

     There are about 24 million children who are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and
now there are many adults being diagnosed also. Most of them if most all are
on some form of medication like Ritalin. There are other ways to get relief
other than medication. There are many cases where medication has even made
things worse. That is what this is about an alternative for those parents
who do not like the affect medication is having on their children.

     There is a foundation to good health that most people have never heard
of before, mainly because there is not a lot of money in the medical field
for staying healthy. Basically there is a whole industry centered around
ADD/ADHD and billions of dollars to be made with the medication. Do we want
our children medicated or healthy?

     With that being said the question arises what is the key foundation to
good health? I t is actually pretty simple it is alkalizing the body. When
the body is at the proper ph level that is alkalized it is brought to a
natural state of balance which leads to optimal healthful condition. The ph
scale measures the acidity or alkalinity in the body. The scale goes form
1-14. The lower the number the more acidic the higher the number the more
alkaline our bodies are. We need to be in between 7-9 to be at our
healthiest. When the body is too acidic it leads to ill health like cancer,
disease and other common illnesses.

Natural unpolluted lake water is at about 7.5, which is where the body
should be. By the way soda is at about 3 which is very acidic which is unfit
for human consumption.

     Another question is what leads to an acidic body? Life itself can lead
to being acidic like, stress, metal attitudes, certain foods, exercise,
environmental pollution and other sources. In the case of ADD/AADHD the
childs body is too acidic. Once the childs body is alkalized he or she
calms down and is able to function better mentally which leads to becoming a
happier and healthier child or adult.

     So the next question is how do you alkalize the body. Taking proper
nutrition. Mainly taking minerals which do the alkalizing like calcium,
magnesium and the other minerals we need in our bodies. Which most of us do
not get through the foods we eat, especially processed foods.

     How does all this tie into ADD/ADHD? What we are finding out is that
with proper nutrition for alkalizing we are seeing parents decreasing
medication and in many cases stopping medication all together. Which parents
are thrilled about. We advise using the nutrition in conjunction with the
medication. That is when parents are seeing the dramatic changes and decide
to decrease or stop medication. Of course this is done with  keeping the
Physician informed.

If you are not satisfied with the medication your child is on this may be an
alternative for you.
