Can A.D.D be cured?

Question

And i mean really gone for good! i know omega 6 and omega 3 cures it already so don't use the same answer. but is there anything else that will cure it for good?

Answer 1

Attentetion Deficient Disorder is a bioneurochemical condition of the brain in which there is a defieciency of the chemicals that help people organize, structure and focus on the on-going activities around them. Medication can control these symptoms by replacing these neurotransmitters. As far 'curing " it, people can learn life strageties to control the symptoms.
Keeping computer organized schedules will help. Studying in a room without distractions will help. Having alarm clocks that will keep track of time for you will also help. getting enough sleep and eating breakfast may also help (its not a nutritional disease as one of the answers suggests, but not eating right -avoiding meals, etc. will make the problem worse).
Finally alot of celebreties in the entertainment field, ie Jim Carey, Robin Williams, dave Letterman, have careers out of the creativity that people with ADHD have. I wish you luck controlling your symptoms

Answer 2

I think anything can be worked through. I have a 7 year old grandchild that they said had ADD. School was awful! Second grade and she couldnt learn a thing. Meds didnt help. So I took her out of School and now we homeschool. She is sharp as a tack. She has learned more in 2 months than she has in 2 years. Amazing. Be sure you get a accurate diagnosis. Her problem was she was nervous around too many people. At home she can learn anything. But the doctors said she had a learning disability. Makes you wonder.

Answer 3

A D D is tough on both the kids and the parents check what your child is eating and avoid additives as much as you can.my youngest was much like that she is OK now 24 years of age and has an n v q in computers and a h n d in fashion. so watching the diet really helps she wasn't allowed the cheap sweets or anything with additives . i had to do meals from scratch and she only had home baked cakes no shop bought but it really did make a difference.good luck.

Answer 4

A.D.D. is so overated. Doctors are so quick to jump to that conclusion. I know so many children who have been diagnosed with it and within a few years they are remarkably cured.
I second P Utaba7's comments.

Hi Ihelpyou

Here are some answers.

Causes of ADHD/ADD-like Behavior
A variety of factors can cause the hyperactivity symptoms that can lead to a diagnosis of ADHD or ADD. They include undetected learning disabilities, food and environmental allergies, gastrointestinal disorders such as leaky gut syndrome, systemic yeast overgrowth, known as Candidiasis, heavy metal toxicity, poor diet, nutritional imbalances, and emotional upsets such as those caused by family problems. In some cases, the problem can also be due to undetected vision problems, such as the need for eyeglasses for reading. The overuse of antibiotics, as well as vaccines and immunization, can also cause symptoms of hyperactivity and/or ASDHD/ADD. Antibiotics can trigger allergic reactions and cause the gastrointestinal tract to become depleted of healthy bacteria, leading to candidiasis, while vaccines can severely compromise a child's still- developing immune system, and cause other serious health problems, including neurological damage.

Quick Action Plan for ADHD/ADD-like Symptoms


1. Avoid the use of dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, such as Ritalin and Adderal.

2. Recognize that the majority of ADHD/ADD diagnoses are inaccurate, and can be based on little or no scientific evidence.

3. If you, your child or teen suffer from ADHD/ADD-like symptoms, be sure to explore all possible factors that may be causing hyperactivity. Essential to consider is poor diet, nutritional imbalances, undiagnosed learning disabilities and/or vision problems, lack of emotional support, heavy metal toxicity, and food and environmental allergies, all of which should be screened for.

4. Avoid all sugars, wheat products, refined carbohydrates, sodas, processed foods, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, corn syrup, alcohol, and hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils.

5. Avoid foods high in salicylates such as apples, almonds, oranges, peppers, and tomatoes.

6. Emphasize organic fresh fruits and vegetables, organic whole grains such as amaranth and quinoa, organic free-range meats, poultry, and wild-caught fish, and drink plenty of pure, filtered water.

7. Nutritional supplements include vitamin B-complex, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, folic acid, essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-3 oils, digestive enzymes, and probiotic supplements such as acidophilus and bifidus bacterium, tinctured zeolite and chlorella.

8. Chamomile, linden flower, milk thistle, and red clover may be useful herbs.

9. If heavy metal toxicity is a factor, consider working with a physician trained in the use of chelation therapy.

10. Many excellent books on healing ADHD are available; recommend "Children with Starving Brains" by Jaquelyn McCandless, M.D., and "A Path to Success" by Lawrence Weathers, Ph.D.

Best of health to you

Answer 6

ADD actually can be contributed more to learned behaviors than biological imbalances. It is one of the most over-diagnosed psychological illnesses of this generation. Those diagnosed with ADD are often actually just children who lack focus and discipline because they didn't learn these skills when they were young. Through exercises and practice, symptoms can improve and often virtually disappear. It's pitiful how over-medicated our children are.

Answer 7

It can't really. But some symptoms may abate with good diet and environment.
