Improving Mental Performance in kids with ADHD

Phosphatidylserine (PS) has been shown to significantly improve Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms, short term memory and cognitive function in young children suffering from ADHD.  This is the conclusion of a 2013 clinical trial.
In the study, 36 children aged 4 to 14 with diagnosed ADHD completed the randomized, double bind, placebo controlled clinical trial.  Children were supplemented with 200mg PS or placebo each day for two months.  ADHD symptoms were the primary outcome measure of the trial.  No significant changes were found in the placebo group but those recieving PS showed an impressive 37% decrease in their ADHD score.  Children in the PS group showed improved classroom behaviour and social skills.
It sure makes sense to combine this treatment with a comprehensive treatment plan for improving mental performance and quality of life for kids with ADHD.  I remember being told at a seminar if we spend time ensuring the kids are healthy and balanced we'll run out of adult customers.  I wonder if that is true? If you have any questions ask Rosemary Manners.

Autoimmune Disease and Microbes.

When we say WE we really mean WE.  Us and our microbes. Recent genetic screening studies have astounded us by identifying that only around 10% of cells in our body are actually human.  The rest of these cells make up the human microbione; that is the sum of bacteria, fungi and parasites living on us and inside us.
We have co-evolved with microbes and we are dependent on their presence to regulate our immune system, protect our skin, digest our food, produce nutrients and to help in the metabolism of toxins. So we do need the microbes however it causes havoc when they get out of balance or in the wrong place.
Science has taken a turn and research is looking into the connection between your microbial load and autoimmune diseases.  The results are extremely interesting.  It has been demonstrated by both research studies and clinicians in the field that it is possible to generate improvement in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and sarcoidosis using multiple antibiotic therapy.  As to be expected, such aggressive treatment results in a high level of side effects.  But it gives as a great clue.
In the natural world we can use a combination of Berberine, which inhibits the protein and DNA synthesis within microbes, and essential oils of oregano, clove and thyme to attack the cell walls of bacteria.  There are also the mushrooms for viral infections.  Cordyceps, Coriolus and Reishi have been widely studied and proven to help in the resolution of chronic or reoccurring viral infections.  In our clinic these and a few other supplements aimed at addressing infection have shown dramatic improvements in autoimmune conditions.
Another tactic is to completely reset your micobione with my Clean Within Program.  This Integrated Detoxification Program is a first point of call for those in whom chronic infection is based in the gut.  It addresses bacterial overgrowth while also dealing with consequences and associated conditions, such as leaky gut, digestive incompetency, poor detoxification and hepatic dysfunction.

Do You Push Through Life or Travel with Ease

Do you have a tendency to push up against life, establishing new roads with a heavy steadiness? Or maybe you give up easily, choose the path of ease or the line of least resistance ? These concepts are known in Yoga as Sthira and Sukha. Steadiness vs Ease.  The idea is to balance these two tendencies.  Choose the happy balance in the middle.
Sometimes we tend to get too close to one or the other.  In yoga terms this is called Dukha.  Dukha translates as a restricted place and is believed to be behind all suffering.  Where are you on this scale?  Are you more Sthira or Sukha?

Five Ways to improve your  Balance between Sthira and Sukha include:
