Dr. Mercola's suggestions for eliminating ADHD.

Dr. Joseph Mercola is one of the
superstars of alternative health
therapy. He sends out a bi-weekly
electronic newsletter that is full
of need-to-know information.

Today's letter (9/18/04) has a story
about a study which shows that chilren who play OUTSIDE after school and on weekends, reduce and
eliminate their ADD and ADHD symptoms.

It makes lots of sense. When I was
a child in the late 1940's, no one
ever heard of ADHD. When my friends
and I came home from school, we
played outside till dark. And we
sent almost all of our weekends
outside. TV didn't become common
until the early 1950's, and of course, there were no computer games.

In addition to lots of time outide
in God's sunshine, Dr. Mercola
makes three other suggestions which,
he says, will eliminate the symptoms
of ADHD from most children.

1) Increase the amount of Omega 3
fats in your child's diet (and yours, too). I choose to grind
organic golden flaxseed to supply
my Omega 3's, but you can also get
them from cod liver oil and fish.

2) Drink ONLY water and fresh juices. Banish all the diet soda
and processed drinks. Lots of pure
water will eventually wash away the
toxins in your kids.

3) Eliminate sugars and grains. Not
easy to do, but vitally necessary --
especially the sugar.

For those who don't know Dr. Mercola, I suggest you visit his
website (www.mercola.com) and read
some of his newsletters.

Good luck with healing your kids!
