Our focus today will be on ADHD:
The most common features of ADHD are hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Other symptoms include:
- Excessive physical movement.
- Constant fidgeting, can’t sit still, even in a calm environment.
- Running around, climbing on everything, often at inconvenient times.
- Acting inappropriately, saying inappropriate things without thinking.
- Interrupt conversations.
- Struggle to concentrate and focus on tasks.
- Easily distracted.
- Inattention usually leads to poor organisational skills, sometimes also into adult life.
- Avoiding activities/problems that require focus and concentration.
3-7% of school children are affected by ADHD, and unfortunately, the numbers are rising.
According to research, trauma and traumatic stress are associated with ADHD disorders.
Trauma and adversity can change the structure of the brain, especially in children.
Children who experience family and environmental stressors are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD.
People suffering from ADHD usually show the following symptoms from puberty:
- Experience a shorter sleep time.
- Struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep.
- Have a greater risk of developing sleep disorders.
- Nightmares are also common in children with ADHD, especially those who struggle with insomnia.
- Although anger is not one of the common ADHD symptoms, many adults with ADHD struggle with anger, especially impulsive outbursts of anger. Frustration, impatience and even low self-esteem can cause such reactions.
- People with ADHD usually think faster than most other people.
According to Peter Shankman (Entrepeneur and author of Faster Than Normal: Turbocharge Your Focus, Productivity, and Success with the Secrets of the ADHD Brain), the brain thinks faster because it produces less dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline than ordinary people’s brains.
This can be a great advantage if managed properly.
ADHD AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DOPAMINE:
Dopamine is secreted by the brain when something good is expected, such as a reward.
The nervous system uses dopamine to circulate messages between nerve cells.
High levels of dopamine secretion make you feel good and motivated so you can concentrate/focus on tasks.
A good expectation such as food, shopping, vacation time coming up, loved ones visiting or anything that is normally enjoyed, raises dopamine levels.
These expectations can be addictive, like when someone is addicted to sports activities.
Factors that will decreases dopamine levels:
- Lack of sleep
- Obesity
- Drug abuse
- Saturated fats
- Stress
- No expectaions
- Poor prospects
Dopamine deficiencies cause a chemical imbalance and physical symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, poor balance, poor coordination and sluggish spontaneous movements can be experienced.
Medication containing stimulants are used to increase dopamine levels and successfully decrease ADHD symptoms.
INCREASING DOPAMINE LEVELS:
Medications that contain stimulants increase dopamine levels in the brain and can be used successfully for ADHD conditions.
The increased dopamine levels improve focus and concentration, while reducing hyperactive and impulsive behaviour.
The stimulating effect of the medication gives greater self-confidence, makes one more talkative, but also more emotional.
These medications can pose health hazards, especially if prescribed in childhood or when the dose is exceeded.
Conditions of depression and anxiety are also exacerbated.
Natural remedies like Phosphatidylserine and Ginkgo biloba also increase dopamine levels, without side effects.
Ginkgo biloba (Maidenhair tree) is a natural herbal supplement that is widley marketed to help improve memory and blood circulation in older adults.
However, studies have found that and extract of Ginkgo biloba successfully improved ADHD symptoms in children and that they were less impulsive and distractible.
Ginkgo biloba is found in the Aloe Ferox® product CIRCULATE-IT.
WHY USE CLEVER-4-EVER FOR ADHD SYMPTOMS?
- Phosphatidylserine is the active ingredient in CLEVER-4-EVER capsules.
- 70% of the outer layer of brain cells consist of Phosphatidylserine.
- Phosphatidylserine is a nutritional supplement. It strengthens the relationship between the different cells so that new information can enter the brain more freely.
- Vitamin B5 in CLEVER-4-EVER helps reduce stress and anxiety levels.
- Vitamin B6 in CLEVER-4-EVER helps reduce symptoms of depression.
In short, Phosphatidylserine is a very good alternative for the treatment of ADHD.
Success Story:
This lady’s son struggled to concentrate and found it difficult to adjust to a school routine. He was transferred to a school for children with learning difficulties. He used prescribed medicine, which after 3 years contributed to him being transferred back to a mainstream school. An Aloe Ferox® distributor recommended CLEVER-4-EVER. With the use of CLEVER-4-EVER, the boy experienced an improvement in learning his tables and found that his spelling also improved. Moreover, he is much calmer and not as aggressive towards other children as before.
