Nearly 22 million children have been diagnosed with ADD / ADHD in America. Between 8 million and 10 million of those children are on mind-altering psychotropic drugs, such as Ritalin or Adderall.
At our clinic we always encourage parents to start with a conservative approach and search to find the CAUSE. There is always a cause, and you will never find the cure until you find the cause.
The research shows a strong correlation between lead toxicity and its correction to neurotoxic disorders such as Autism, ADD / ADHD. In our clinic, we don't guess—we test! We do a simple hair test that checks for heavy metal toxicity. From there we detoxify the metals, etc.
We also test for food sensitivities. A simple blood test can determine if your child should stay away from specific foods that they are sensitive to. We can also test for micro nutrient deficiencies.
Again, to find the cure... you MUST find the cause. The cause is usually a toxicity or deficiency. We encourage you to do your research before putting your child on medications. That should always be the last resort. Call the office today for a free consultation!
