ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER
ADD and ADHD |
Are you, your child, or a friend suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder or ADHD?
ADD or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyper-Activity Disorder) is a baffling and frustrating disorder not only for those who have it, but for their loved ones and the doctors who attempt to treat it.
Some of the symptoms are: Excessive fidgeting with hands or feet, repeated difficulty remaining seated, marked difficulty following instructions, extreme difficulty in attempting to work or play quietly, excessive interruption of conversations and intrusions upon other children's games, marked appearance of not listening to, nor comprehending what is being said to them, and multiple repeated performance of dangerous acts, without thinking or weighing the consequences.
Science has not yet identified the cause or causes of ADD, which means the appropriate treatment for the condition is still being researched.
There are many theories to what causes ADD, but as yet, no facts; which is why physicians in the US have only been able to offer powerful drugs a treatment.
Millions of parents across the US are very concerned that their children are being prescribed treatment which usually consists of powerful stimulant drugs such as Ritalin, Dexedrine, and Cylert.
Some noted side effects with Ritalin are: Loss of appetite and resulting weight loss, insomnia, headaches, stomachaches, drowsiness, potential liver damage, facial tics, and a "sense of sadness."
Many parents have to make the difficult decision of weighing the positive and negative effects of putting their child on a prescription drug. This has often led to very agonizing and frustrating times in both the parents' and the child's life.
So far, almost all of the information on ADD has been very discouraging. But, there are new reports from many thousands of parents and adult ADD sufferers who are discovering dramatic relief from a new and entirely NON-drug approach!
It is a powerful effective nutritional method that is 100% natural and non-toxic. Dr. Jacques Marsquelier discovered that the active components found in the bark of certain pine trees conformed to the characteristics of a bioavailable flavonoid...and ultimately led him to the discovery of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (also known as OPC's or pycnogenol). Grape seed extract is another excellent source of OPC's. Pycnogenols are known to be the most powerful natural antioxidants available today and many progressive doctors are now beginning to recommend them to their patients.
E. Dr. Richard Passwater, one of our nation's most respected biochemists, has documented the research done in Europe over the last 20 years. This research shows that pycnogenols gives relief from as many as 80 different degenerative health challenges.
Also especially gratifying is that adults and children with ADD are finding that pycnogenols are literally providing them with a non-drug approach to a healthy alternative treatment and a new lease on life!
