Amen Clincs Brain Supplement Strategies
In this chapter I will go through each brain system and tell you what supplements that I have seen to have clinical benefit. I'll give you the rationale and dosage protocols that I suggest to my patients. If you decide to use these supplements instead of medication, as many people do, make sure you keep tabs on their effectiveness. I only want my patients to take something that is clearly beneficial to them. I also want them to take medication if the supplements are not effective.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
If you or your child has just been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-ADD) don't despair. While in the past a frightening regimen of powerful pharmaceuticals was used for this disorder, new findings in nutrition and wellness are providing less invasive options for treating and preventing ADHD.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Despite the effectiveness of stimulant medications, multiple strategies are required to effectively manage ADHD over the long-term. A combination of prescription drugs and lifestyle changes, including behavioral therapies, is proving to be the best option for many children. Currently, the most accepted treatments include individual and family education, behavioral therapy, school remediation, and social skills training. Although nutritional management (such as elimination diets and high-dose vitamin supplementation) is among the most frequently explored alternative therapy among parents, relatively few studies support its effectiveness for ADHD. A growing number of studies suggest an association between essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiencies and hyperactivity in children, yet intervention studies using EFAs to treat behavioral problems have reported varying results. Preliminary evidence also indicates that homeopathy and mind/body techniques, particularly biofeedback, may significantly improve behavior among children with ADHD.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Children: Rationale for Its Integrative Management Parris M. Kidd, PhD
Mounting controversy over the widespread use of methylphenidate and possible life-threatening effects from its long-term use make it imperative that alternative modalities be implemented for ADHD management. Nutrient deficiencies are common in ADHD; supplementation with minerals, the B vitamins (added in singly), omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, flavonoids, and the essential phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) can ameliorate ADHD symptoms. When individually managed with supplementation, dietary modification, detoxification, correction of intestinal dysbiosis, and other features of a wholistic/integrative program of management, the ADHD subject can lead a normal and productive life.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
In 1998, the National Institutes of Mental Health agreed that attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is indeed a legitimate psychologic condition even though its definition has not been fully pinned down.

Born to Explore! The Other Side of ADD
There are many causes of inattention, fidgeting, impulsivity and lack of focus, the traits that define attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD). Doctors don't have the time or the training to look for these causes, so you will have to do it yourself.

ADD and ADHD are psychiatric diagnoses. Most people are unaware that the real causes of these conditions are medical, not psychological.

Digestive, Metabolic Problems Abound In Patients with ADHD, Autism
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and autism are multifactorial biological disorders requiring a multimodal therapeutic approach that addresses the gastrointestinal, immunologic and metabolic problems usually associated with the behavioral abnormalities, said Jeff Bradstreet, MD, at the annual meeting of the American Holistic Medical Association.

Dr. Greenblatt's Interview With Latitudes
One thing is important to understand. As we started doing testing, including fatty acid analysis in children—and we have done hundreds—we’ve learned that everyone is very different. It’s not possible to make supplement recommendations based on the disorder alone. --- Supplements can also be helpful, but without adequate testing, they can cause problems. Testing children provides useful guidelines for supplementation. If I test someone with ADHD and they have high levels of omega-3, they shouldn’t be given any fish oil. We have found that most children with ADHD have low levels of omega-3 fatty acids, but not all! Fatty acids by themselves are not the answer; other kinds of nutrients are essential as well.

Early Intervention (0-8 years) for Learning Disabilities and ADHD/ADD – Multi-modal intervention strategies- Rosemary Boon
In contrast to the medical model, the multi-model approach described herein does not rely on symptom-suppressing drugs, but rather on more safe, natural therapies to address the critical underlying causes of the disorders, which when addressed, greatly improves the long-term prognosis for children with learning disorders and ADHD.

Approaches that lie outside of the traditional medical protocol include aromatherapy, biofeedback, Traditional Chinese Medicine, cranial-sacral therapy, flower essence remedies, homeopathy, hypnotherapy, massage therapy, and sound and vision therapy. However, nutritional and supplementation solutions for ADHD will be the two modalities explored here.

NUTRITIONAL & OTHER NATURAL MEDICAL TREATMENTS FOR CHILDREN & ADOLESCENTS WITH ATTENTION-DEFICIT/ HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

NUTRITIONAL THERAPIES FOR ATTENTION DEFICIT
A body of scientific research supports the importance of nutritional factors in ADHD and permits alternatives to Ritalin in the treatment of this disorder. I have personally treated hundreds of children with ADHD over the past twenty years. Almost all have improved without the need for Ritalin. To help them and their parents I have used a series of questions that searches for the causes of ADHD in each individual child.

Natural Control of ADD & ADHD by Billie J. Sahley, Ph.D., CNC
A child's state of health reflects his or her state of nutrition. When minerals, vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, or even hormones are deficient in a child's system, the result can be a disturbed biochemical homeostasis causing impaired functions in the brain. This, in turn, can cause an inability to focus, concentrate, and stay on task.

Non-Drug Treatment of ADD/ADHD Exclusive Interview with Lendon Smith, MD
When I became familiar with nutrition, I found that if a stimulant drug had a calming effect like the above, it meant that the child did not have enough norepinephrine (a stimulant) in his limbic system, and that I could help with a good diet and some supplements which should shore up the enzymes in his brain that make that neurotransmitter.

Nutritional Treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
We have found individualized nutritional interventions based on clinical history, physical symptoms and laboratory testing can provide relief for many children with ADHD. Laboratory tests are available for mineral deficiencies, heavy metals, food sensitivities, yeast overgrowth, fatty acid deficiencies and many other functional disturbances. How many physicians have looked for elevated copper levels or recommended food allergy testing when evaluating a child for ADHD?

Treatment Alternatives for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Alternate treatments (Tx) are defined for this conference as any treatment other than prescription drugs or standard behavioral treatments. In contrast with those two established general treatments, many alternate treatments are etiologically targeted (see Table 1) and consequently applicable to a smaller subpopulation of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Understanding Attention Deficit Disorder by Dr. William Sears
Usually because of lack of time, lack of knowledge or both, the mistake that's usually made in treating ADD is to just put a child on medication and nothing else. This is wrong. If medication is needed, it should always be used in addition, and not instead of, a total treatment package. Here is our five-step package for managing the child with ADD.
