How to cure hyperactivity using natural remedies |
|
Statistics show that almost every tenth child in the Western world is hyperactive.
Hyperactivity is a chronic problem that continues into adulthood for 50% of people.
Hyperactivity is a condition in which a person is abnormally active.
Hyperactive children have a constant need for movement. Find it difficult to sit still and quietly carry out their activities. They keep talking and it is impossible to stop them. They are very impatient – they can not wait.
Together with hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder is other problem children often have. This problem is called ADHD - attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.
Children with attention deficit disorder do not listen when spoke to, they can not concentrate, they quickly become bored, they can not be organized. Such children often have learning problems and poor grades in school.
Hyperactive person usually can not follow the rules and regulations, has problems fitting in and becomes a problem for society. Therefore, mainstream medicine is trying to “calm them down”.
Conventional "treatment" of hyperactivity
There is no accurate method of diagnosing ADHD. Diagnosis is based on interviews with parents and observation of the child's behavior in school.
The child's behavior is then compared with the behavior of his peers on the basis of which it is determined whether a child is hyperactive or not. After that, doctors recommend therapy.
Unfortunately, in the absence of precise method of diagnosis of ADHD, there is a lot of room for mistake.
The most common medications that are recommended for ADHD are stimulants. However, their effect on the hyperactivity is not tested. It is still not completely clear how much they actually help people with ADHD.
In addition, these drugs have a number of side effects, such as anxiety, irritability, abdominal pain, headache, loss of appetite.
Famous medication for hyperactivity, Ritalin (methylphenidate), can cause addiction, insomnia, arrhythmia, heart attack and stroke. Ritalin is associated with the death of hundreds of children in the world.
Therefore, the time is right to turn to natural solutions for this problem.
What does alternative medicine offer
Many alternative doctors believe that the hyperactivity is a fictional disease. More on that you can learn by watching a show called "The side effect of death."
Abnormal behavior in children can be caused by:
- toxins and heavy metals in food and the environment
- unbalanced diet
- allergies to mold
- vaccines
- emotional stress
- physical or psychological abuse.
Recently, there are more and more evidence that poor diet and toxins can cause hyperactive behavior.
Dr. Ben Feingold from Kaiser Permanente Medical Center claims that toxins in food - for example, additives - can cause a reaction similar to hyperactivity.
According to Dr. Feingold, the first step in the treatment of hyperactive children is to eliminate foods containing colorings, flavorings, preservatives and other additives.
Unhealthy diet, which includes lots of candy, soft drinks and snacks, is also on the top of the list of possible causes of hyperactivity in children.
When the child consumes sweets and sodas, especially on an empty stomach, blood sugar levels are increasing dramatically. During the period of increased blood sugar levels, a child is in the biochemical shock.
This rapid increase and then decrease in blood sugar levels can cause hyperactivity and impede child’s concentration and learning. Recently, it was observed that many hyperactive children have an allergy to mold. After eliminating mold from food and housing, children were behaving better and were learning faster.
Deodorants, hair sprays, cleaners and other common products used in household contain toxins and heavy metals, which in children can cause allergy symptoms and abnormal behavior.
Try to eliminate toxins and heavy metals from your home, using organic cleaning products and natural cosmetics.
Use fresh ingredients, preferably local food or organically cultivated. Avoid foods that may contain pesticides, hormones and antibiotics.
The importance of omega-3 fatty acids
Recently, we hear more and more about the importance of omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are effective against a wide range of diseases and they have shown excellent results in the treatment of ADHD.
Daily dose of omega 3 fatty acids affects hyperactivity better than Ritalin - the controversial drug for ADHD that is associated with the death of children in England and the US – according to the Daily Mail UK.
In studies, 30-40% of hyperactive children showed significant improvement after 15 weeks, 40-50% - after 30 weeks of taking omega-3 fatty acids.
The researcher then compared the results and confirmed that omega-3 fatty acids provide a better result than Ritalin and Concerta.
The best natural source of omega 3 fatty acids is flaxseed oil; it contains twice as much omega-3 fatty acids than fish oil. Recommended intake of flaxseed oil is 1,000 mg (1 tablespoon) per 50 kg of body weight.
Daily dose of flaxseed oil for children:
- babies (10 to 15 kg) - 1/4 - 1/2 tsp
- children (15-25 kg) - 1 tablespoon
- children (from 25 kg to 35 kg) - 2 tsp
- children (35-50 kg) - 1 tablespoon
- children (over 50 kg) - 2 tablespoons
Hyperactivity is not a disease, but a disorder that reflects the state of our diet, relationships and the environment. This disorder can be treated in a natural way, without the risk to the health and life of your child.
