What
causes these ADD / ADHD behavioral symptoms? Why is it that
some people have them temporarily and in others they persist
over time? Is it possible that the symptoms are caused by
different life events which need to be treated differently?
My attempt to answer these questions follows.
The symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder or attention deficit
hyperactive disorder (ADD / ADHD) are generated by the perception
that the mind is out of control. This out of control mind
can be initially caused by any one or any combination of the
following:
1. High stress and anxiety.
2. Emotional trauma--past or present.
3. Candida Albicans.
4. Attitude--which can be boredom, or not being turned on
to certain activities such as chores or schoolwork, or not
knowing HOW to do the required tasks.
5. Communication gaps between the child and parents/teachers.
6. Physical reaction--to large amounts of sugar, junk food, allergies or toxins (usually food).
Factor 3 can be helped by going to a good health food store
or to a physician who is knowledgeable about Candida. Books
such as "The Yeast Syndrome" or "The Yeast
Connection" can also help. Professionals such as Allergists,
Dieticians, Physicians, and Psychologists are equipped to
handle factors 1, 2 and 6. Factors 4 and 5 are covered in
parts of the book "Rediscover the Joy of Learning"
by Dr. Blackerby
Also, the perception or belief that the mind is out of control
can be dealt with and is covered in the book "Rediscover
the Joy of Learning".
