Distractibility, impulsivity and restlessness are the three cardinal symptoms of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or AD/HD. Although there is no single, definitive, pathological abnormality that can be tested for — like a chest x-ray, or a lab test that defines AD/HD —the symptoms of distractibility, impulsivity and motor restlessness are real. There is a growing body of evidence which suggests that there may be not one, but a series of causes or risk factors which act in coordination to influence and cause the symptoms of AD/HD.
- B Vitamin and phytonutrient deficiencies
- Mineral imbalances
- Essential fatty acid and phospholipid deficiencies
- Amino acid deficiencies
- Heavy metals and other environmental toxins
- Food and additive allergies
- Low-protein, high-carbohydrate diets.
- Thyroid disorders
These risk factors are testable by medical laboratory testing and are reversible. Studies suggest that correcting these risk factors eliminates the symptoms of ADHD.
The letters “ADHD” in ADHD Therapy stand for Attentional Disintegration of Hurt and Distress. This therapy can be used to treat a famous disorder that goes by the same abbreviation, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but ADHD here actually stands for a treatment not a diagnosis.
Believe it or not, everyone has an already built-in, hardware system within their brains, which is designed to make emotional and physical pain disappear. Unfortunately though, it is dormant and in most people never gets activated during their life. Most people go through their lives encountering terrible physical and/or emotional pain at certain times, and never switch on their pain-killing hardware. The main reason for this is that temporary, quick fixes are very seductive. Popping pills for emotional or physical pain takes no effort. Even if we had all the best drugs in the world at our disposal all the time, it is impossible to go through life without having periods of significant mental or physical anguish. So at the very least, learning the skill of activating your natural pain-killing pathways which are already hard-wired into your brain, is a great tool to have to help you cope with life.
But ADHD Therapy can give you far more benefits than simply giving you a powerful way to handle emotional and physical distress. ADHD Therapy actually activates authentic healing abilities built into you. Did you ever hear the saying that, “Healing must come from within?” Well, its true; but any saying, however steeped in wisdom, means nothing until someone is shown how to make healing happen within. ADHD Therapy can show you how.
Another famous and related saying comes down to us through the ages from Hippocrates, the father of medicine, “The Greatest Medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.” Some “healers” and healthcare practitioners may find ADHD Therapy to be subversive, because it shifts the power of healing from them to you. I have always believed that it is better to teach people how to fish, than to give people a fish for today. Unfortunately, the philosophy embraced by mainstream healthcare is the exact opposite, because its really all about controlling you and your medical or psychiatric problem with drugs, herbs, therapies etc., instead of empowering you to take charge of your life and your wellness.
Many people would rather have a “father knows best” or Marcus Wellby kind of healthcare practitioner who takes complete responsibility for their suffering. If that describes you, ADHD Therapy is not for you. ADHD Therapy is about you taking responsibility for healing yourself from within, by waking up the dormant, God-given anatomy which is obviously designed to heal you, and which has always been within you but was asleep.
