Today we hear a great deal about hyperactive children and a common oppressive
handling is to give them drugs to make learning possible and classrooms
manageable. To compound the problem, those drugs are assured to be “harmless”.
Yet they are addictive, cause liver damage, destroy many essential nutrients,
create drug addicts and children prone to drug abuse in the future.
Here is the scenario that sets up those kids to become future drug addicts:
Children arrive at school without breakfast or have consumed a high sugar and
refined carbohydrate cereal. The blood sugar (necessary for brain function) is
already abnormally low. In the lunch box are sweets, candy bars, packaged potato
chips, soft drinks. At the canteen all the junk foods are available: carbonated
drinks, sweet bakery rolls, sweets, hot dogs, chips, white refined breads, etc.
Then there is the competition where one can buy five packets of chips and win a
“rugby ball” or buy five Cokes and win “another junk food”! No need to rub it in.
Those “offer nothing” foods supply no nutrients necessary for the normal
functioning of the nervous system.
What are the consequences? Well we have created and labelled a “hyperactive
child” who has the following symptoms: wiggly, squirmy, fidgety, noisy, sobbing,
yelling, fighting, throwing temper tantrums, distractible and distracting human
tornadoes, too many colds, infections, allergies, unable to concentrate, their
attention span nil. Now he is diagnosed as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder) and he needs to be “drugged” as a solution to those symptoms - how
evil can that get? Interesting to note that the people who came up with ADD and
ADHD can’t provide scientific proof of these disorders.
What is the solution? Simple!
If these hyperactive children were recognised as victims of malnutrition
and given, instead of drugs, a completely adequate diet, the majority might soon
be as relaxed as sacks of cotton, their minds far more alert, their energies
restored to normal. To maintain normal blood sugar, they must be allowed
frequent meals rich in protein and free from all refined (junk) foods.
Hyperactivity and inability to relax are characteristic of excessive
phosphorous intake combined with a deficiency of Magnesium, Calcium, Vit B6, and
D, essential for the absorption of calcium.
Phosphorous is essential for strong bone formation. Nutritious protein foods
rich in phosphorous are milk, most meats, liver, yeast, wheatgerm, eggs, cheese,
lecithin.
Excess intake of phosphorous cause deficiencies of Calcium and Magnesium. Also
needed for absorption of Calcium & Magnesium into the blood are essential fatty
acids (cold pressed oils). Supplement with a Cal Mag solution (not Cal Mag
tablets) to avoid a phosphorous overload.
Any active child has higher requirements for all nutrients than does a
lethargic one. Have the child on a good and regular food diet with the following
supplements: Cal Mag solution, Multivitamin&mineral (min 10mg vit B6), 2 tsp cod
liver oil, 200iu vit E, 100 - 300mg vit B1 (for better concentration).
Get off sweets, soft drinks, white flour products and other junk foods.
