ADHD/ADD
Re-post of two posts and additional info for simplicity
Nutrients deficiencies commonly found in individuals with ADHD
Vitamin D: Approximately 78.4% of children with ADHD are deficient, compared to 48% without ADHD. (D3)
Iron: ADHD patients are twice as likely to have iron-deficiency anemia.
Magnesium, zinc and omega 3: half of children with ADHD are deficient.
If you crave chocolate your low in magnesium
Nutrients involved in making and regulating neurotransmitters: Magnesium, zinc, iron
Teen girls 12-18 need 15 mg Iron and possibly up to 25mg during menstrual cycle
Iron level vary from childhood to adulthood and differ in males and females
Allergenic foods: Milk, chocolate, soy, wheat, food dyes.
Hormones: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, which are part of your endocrine system can play a role in ADHD
Brain: Frontal lobes and Parietal Lobes involved in sustained attention. Plus other areas of brain.

Nerve regrowth brain: Lions Mane, Gotu Kola
B1, B6, B12
May need
Kidney support: Chinese medicine connects with brain
Large intestine support: Brain gut connection, probiotics
Immune support: aide in nerve healing
Ashwagandha and Rhodiola could be valuable
Inflammation: Turmeric with Bioperine
Food based multivitamin/mineral essential
Complex carbohydrates needed simple carbs, even fruit juice is like eating candy. Addiction to carbs, sugars needs to be addressed. Mouth inflamed from foods or drink. Can use coconut oil like mouth wash. Around tablespoon, swish for couple of minutes, spit in trash not drain.
Bipolars want to read
That is Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity. “Disorder”
Lets look at Hyperactivity! In Bipolar disorder they call it mania. ADHD can get that depression similar to bipolar after they are hyper. Bipolar is a little more intense. Like your adrenals get stuck in hyper-drive.
What is causing this Hyper/Mania? Adrenal Glands
What causes the adrenal glands to do this?
Explanation: STRESS is a big factor. Your Endocrine system out of whack along with Amygdala.
OK Your Amygdala deals with emotions, fear, anger...It's the Fight, Flight, Freeze part of the brain. So if you get your Amygdala sending signals to your Pituitary and then Adrenals. Then Adrenaline goes at a high-level. Part of Anxiety too. To much adrenaline can give you racing thoughts, abundant amount of energy, raise your heart rate etc. Hello!!! Hyperactive/mania!
WAIT!!! What happens when your body uses up adrenaline? Crash! Depression
Cortisol: another adrenal hormone: a destructive one when high. How can you tell if it is way high. You will have tingling through out your head and maybe face, but don't mistake it for Histamine it can fool you. (lite sensation, brain fog)
What can help this: Ashwagandha and B-complex or a Food based multivitamin/mineral
Ashwagandha works with the amygdala, hypo-thalamus, pituitary, adrenals thyroid, testes and ovaries
B5 supports adrenals, B6 pituitary
You still need to look at the whole body!
FOOD and Beverage ALLERGIES: HELLO HISTAMINE
“Histamine is a neurotransmitter that can influence brain function, focus, and mood, and imbalances in histamine levels may contribute to ADHD symptoms like hyperactivity and difficulty concentrating. Some research suggests that histamine intolerance could exacerbate ADHD symptoms” (AI) You be the judge.
So if you have ever drank a soda/pop like mountain dew or similar...Food dye, sugar, caffeine!! The trifecta of hyperactivity. Then crash...depression.
So your job is to look up histamine foods and take them out of you diet! Also low histamine probiotics and what foods reduce histamine. What herbs are antihistamine. Its a little lengthy.
Just because you don't get rashes, shortness or breath, symptoms of high histamine does not mean that histamine is not messing with your brain!
Oh! A note on Dairy products. Milk is for baby calves not humans. Calves/baby cows have four stomachs and can digest, humans can't or struggle. So if you a stuffy nose, sign of dairy problems. All dairy. Goats milk is the only suitable animal milk for humans. Remember short chain proteins good (goat milk, long chain proteins (cows milk) bad. Opposite for Carbohydrates. Its necessarily lactose intolerance, dairy is inflammatory and when processed harder to digest. Unprocessed milk humans tolerate better, but it's illegal to sell or buy in the U.S.
Now you have two valid reasons for hyperactivity. Other reasons: if your liver is congested and inflamed heat can rise and fill the pericardium. That is the sack around the heart. This can cause speed talking. (Chinese medicine)
Your nervous system can cause hyperactivity too, but different, more constant. Your liver can make you driven. Yes high testosterone and estrogen can have affect, part of your endocrine system. Why you need to balance whole body. Holistic Medicine. Why I call most mental health disorders, general health disorders.
Yes Bipolar and ADHD may come at different ages but the hyperactivity and mania can give similar symptoms, laser focus, extra energy, increased multitasking, rapid speech and racing thoughts. They both can increase hyperactivity and mania when an allergen is introduced ex. Red dye.
This information is a combination of of medical, Naturopathy, Chinese medicine and Auricular Therapy
Please look up words you don't understand.
I encourage you to look up the iron level of your age and sex. Internet search medicinal properties of Lions Maine and Gotu Kola and any other information you might not understand. Auricular Therapy pictures and videos.
Again please see a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist. If your on meds don't try to mix herbs and meds. Disaster waiting to happen.
