Although
drugs can sometimes provide a
quick, temporary solution to hyperactivity
and attention deficit-related
problems, it's important to remember
that pharmaceuticals simply treat
symptoms of attention deficit
disorders--not causes. When medication
is stopped, symptoms may promptly
return, setting the stage for possible
lifelong dependence on prescription
drugs. Please also note that many
prescription medicines deplete
the very amino acids necessary
to bring balance to the brain neurotransmitters.
The following neutotransmitter
Test test, HPA
Profile by Neuro Labs,
can be used to detect possible
causes and contributing factors
linked to hyperactive behavior,
problems with focus, depression
and migraines in children and adults
and can provide the basis for natural,
drug-free alternative methods of
treatment. Once tested, Dr Rispoli
can custom taylor a program to
bring balance back to the brain
chemicals, calm down racing minds,
bring focus and mental clarity
back into focus, all with specific
natural amino acids. The
amino acids can be used in conjunction
with medicine, making the medicine
more effective, or in many cases
in place of medicine.
An
inadequacy of essential fatty acids is one of the most widespread
nutritional deficiencies among modern humans. This represents a
serious potential health risk for children, in particular, since
fatty acids are so crucial for proper growth and development.
Clinical controlled studies show that essential fatty acid levels
are significantly lower in hyperactive children.1,2 The
British Organization Hyperactive Children's
Support group conducted a detailed survey
of hyperactive children and their families
and concluded that "many of these children have a deficiency of essential
fatty acids."3 This
deficiency had a greater impact on male
children, because their requirements
for essential fatty acids are, in general,
much higher.
Imbalances in fatty acids can be compounded
by the zinc deficiencies often seen in
hyperactive children, since zinc is necessary
for converting essential fatty acids
to prostaglandins--a crucial hormone-like
chemical that regulates numerous cell
reactions in our bodies.
The
Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids Analysis
identifies levels of 30 individual fatty acids and 5
crucial fatty acid ratios, establishing a clear and solid
foundation for designing the most effective supplement
program possible.
