ADHD & Chemical Imbalance

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been and continues to be one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed problems for children. ADD is a developmental disorder mainly characterized by: 
Distractibility 
Impulsive behavior
The inability to remain focused on tasks or activities
Poor self esteem
It can occur with or without hyperactivity, depression or anxiety. 

While ADHD is primarily associated with children there is a growing awareness of it in adults. A prominent psychiatrist in our area recently made the comment, “Only about 3 to 4% of adults with ADHD are being diagnosed.”

The bad news about ADD / ADHD is that almost no schools in America and very, very few doctors have a clue as to the cause of the problems of ADHD so they are unable to help (though they say they are trying to help.) If you know a child with  ADD / ADHD than you know that they get into trouble at school but they can't help it. They are not being bad just to be bad.  They can't help being ADD / ADHD and it is the ADHD that causes them to act the way they do.  One must understand that behavioral modification doesn't correct ADD or ADHD.  Threats, punishment, bribes don't correct the underlying behavioral problems of ADD / ADHD.  Those things can't correct ADD / ADHD.  At best they might modify some behavior, but more likely they will just frustrate your child and cause performance anxiety or drive the child away from you and into bad company. 

The most frequently used method of treatment for ADD / ADHD is medication since it is covered by most insurances. However, it is not the best method of treatment. Most people on medication have some complaints and/or concerns. 

Prescription medication is designed for temporary relief by imitating and redistributing existing neurotransmitters. They do not increase the body's supply of neurotransmitters, improve the health of neural receptors or restore overall health in the body. Prescription medication often causes chemical imbalances that traditional doctors keep adding more and more medication for. They do not always to the root of the problem, neurotransmitter imbalance. Neurotransmitter optimization can be used in conjunction with medication and other therapies to enhance their effectiveness.

There are neural mechanisms underlying attention. Attentional disorders or ADD represent dysfunctions in the chemical balance or the functional processes in these neural mechanisms. An imbalance of certain neurotransmitters, the chemicals in the brain that transmit messages between nerve cells, can cause the symptoms related to attentional difficulties. 

Decrease in systemic neurotransmitter levels, like dopamine, norepherine GABA and serotonin, directly correlates with diminished cognitive function. The other side of the coin is that as urinary neurotransmitter levels increase above the high end of normal (hyper-excretion,  there is also a correlation with cognitive function. Neurotransmitter testing of adults and children demonstrate a trend of hyper-secretion of dopamine and/or GABA, and a low secretion of serotonin.

The good news is that though the problems caused by ADHD are serious, and though these problems have done a lot of psychological damage to the child or adult already, ADHD is correctable and the child (person) can recover from the psychological damage. How do I know?  Because already there are thousands of kids (people) gone through special programs which actually correct the problems of ADHD. If you have struggled through other methods of therapy that just have not worked you need to try one with research and data supporting the fact that it helps. 

There is no better proof than success. 

The documentation proving a neurobiological connection to ADD /ADHD has been established. NeuroScience research has thousands of research files that indicate consistent patterns of neurotransmitter imbalances in those that have ADD / ADHD and autism. They also have thousands of tests from those same people and found that neurotransmitter optimization actually works. NeuroScience has spent thousands of dollars to find you a solution that fits into your life and promotes overall well being as well as helping control the symptoms of ADD / ADHD. Neurotransmitter testing for hyper excretion of neurotransmitters is a viable option to verify the etiology (root) of a suspected problem.

Neurotransmitter optimization improves the neural mechanisms of vigilance, sensorimotor integration, and cognitive processing.  All of which affect attention, performance and learning. Therefore it makes sense to enhance and balance the production of neurotransmitters through the use of natural amino acids and cofactors found in Balance Formula 1 and/or Endotrex. The appropriate ratios and binding of amino acids and cofactors are the only way to stimulate the production and balance of the neurotransmitters in a healthy way. 

The right balance of neurotransmitters can set the stage for restoring health and improving ADD / AHD. Your brain and nervous system will once again send strong signals to the restore your body and improve the symptoms associated with ADD / ADHD resulting in:

Even energy levels
Better concentration 
Improved mood  
Higher motivation levels
Behavioral and impulse control
Better control over hyperactivity, depression and anxiety

After the neurotransmitters are under control, one will need to work on remediating or improving the learning skills that were not learned prior to correcting the chemical imbalance. That is where the rest of our products come in. They help in improving the functional processes in the neural mechanisms involved in ADD / ADHD.

The typical protocol  for ADHD from Neuroscience is GABA Max and Serene. Neuroscience also produces a theanine spray or a citrus flavored drink for children that do not swallow capsules. Neuroscience also provides test kits to individualized their neurotransmitter program. It was very helpful for our doctors to have this information. It should that our daughter had digestive disorders that interplayed with her imbalance.

For "Fast Focus", we offer a purse size spray that seems to come in handy for our child. She thinks the name should be changed to "Fast Focus" because that is what it does. Email us for more information on the product.

Catecholamines are neural transmitters, and include dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline). Imbalance of catecholamines can result in autonomic dysfunction.

Theanine is a unique free form amino acid. It's a relaxant that increases alpha-waves producing mental and physical relaxation decreasing stress and anxiety, without inducing drowsiness. It is the therapeutic element in green tea, used in many products by the Japanese, however green tea also contains caffeine.

GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a messenger chemical that is essential for optimizing how brain cells transmit messages to each other and acts to put a damper on unwanted brain signaling activity
