ADD/ADHD Cure?

s there a cure for Attention Deficit Disorder ADD/ADHD? Throughout the years
many doctors, chiropractors, and natural supplement companies have an-
nounced, often with great fanfare, that they have a cure for attention deficit
disorder or ADD/ADHD. The hopes of parents and educators are built up in this
fashion and are then quickly dashed when they realize that these claims are
vastly overstated.
At the present time there is no “cure” for attention deficit disorder or more
commonly known as ADD/ADHD. ADHD is a genetic disorder and learning
neurological disorder whose etiology is not completely understood at this time.
The genetic component is huge. If one parent has attention deficit disorder, a
child has a 60% chance of ADD/ADHD. If two parents have the condition, then
there is a 90% chance.
It is thought that the lack of neurotransmitter balance, especially dopamine
and acetylcholine, is one of the main reasons
for the disorder.
The symptoms of ADD are well-
known and include attention difficulties,
problems following through on tasks,
distraction, procrastinations, possible
hyperactivity and impulsivity. What is
not well-known, however, is that there are
six different types of ADD and not just the
Inattentive Type and Hyperactive Type.
These other types are Over Focused,
Temporal, Limbic and Ring of Fire.
Each type is very different and needs
to be treated in a different fashion, or
the results are often worse than the “cure.”
Although there is no real ADD “cure,” there
is effective treatment. It is possible to obtain 30%
symptom relief through diet, exercise, common vi-
tamins and supplements, a self-disciplinary ac-
tivity such as yoga or martial arts, biofeedback
or neurofeedback, and behavioral strategies
or ADD rules and protocols. However, until
recently the only way to achieve the other 70% improvement
was a combination of medication which usually consisted of a stimulant, such
as Ritalin, Adderall or Vyvanse, and an antidepressant, such as Effexor or Zoloft.
With the advent of ADD-care™, for example, this has all changed. ADD-
care is an all-natural amino acid, herbal and homeopathic compound that
has matched or beat the performance of the stimulants as shown by SPECT
brain imaging and the Conner’s ADD test for impulsiveness at the famed Amen
Clinic. Although ADD-care is not a “cure,” it has been shown by these tests
to significantly reduce distraction, impulsiveness and procrastination in many
people.
These results are available at ADD-care.com, and the supplement can be pur-
chased at that website or by calling 1-866-998-0560.
