Dr. Bobs Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 Days
Additional Details
Product Description
Dr. Robert DeMaria has worked over 30 years with patients using the holistic approach, the idea that you treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. This makes complete sense in the treatment of ADD and ADHD as well. The use of Ritalin in the United States has risen from 5% in 1989 to 25% by 1995, and 90% of Ritalin produced today is used in the U.S. That's scary! Dr. Bob offers an alternative to medication-- get healthy and live naturally. Lack of proper nutrition can cause symptoms of ADD, ADHD, and hyperactivity. This can be a result of vitamin deficiencies, improper fat metabolism, sugar consumption, preservatives, and additives. This book is a guide to change your life. The author suggests you read through the book slowly, take notes, and incorporate changes gradually. The result will be in that 18 days, the half-life of the Omega 3 fat, you will notice improvement. He begins by explaining how the body works including the stomach, pancreas, intestines, adrenal gland, and nervous system. He then explains the complications resulting from specific nutrition factors. For example, sugar consumption depletes essential minerals and vitamins necessary for fat metabolism, and improper fat metabolism is a leading cause of hyperactivity in children. Dr. Bob offers plenty of interesting facts to help you understand the effect of food on the body. He doesn't stop with information; Dr. Bob lays out a plan that will help you make necessary changes toward a healthful lifestyle. There are even sample menus and a few recipes to get you started. I have never been an advocate of medication for treatment of ADD/ADHD, but unfortunately it has become a quick fix. This program would mean serious changes and some hard work; definitely worth it in the long run. 194 pgs, pb. - Donna
