What to do When Kids Go off Their Meds: Brain-based Learning Strategies for ADD/ADHD

2010-11-07T02:28:00.000-08:00

Steven Nissen, a prominent Cleveland Ohio Cardiologist recently prodded the FDA's Advisory committee to put a black box warning on Ritalin, warning of potential heart danger. Why? From 1999 to 2003, 81 deaths and 54 nonfatal cardiovascular events such as heart attacks have possible links to Ritalin and similar drugs.

During the same period 78 million prescriptions were written for children up to the age of 18. Today two million kids a month take these drugs.

These are startling statistics to put it mildly! Assuming Nissen is correct, Ritalin is a pretty dangerous method of improving brain-based learning.

Now before I go any further with this story, please do not take a child off their ADD medication or suggest to a parent that such should be done. I am not a medical doctor. I do not prescribe. If you want to look into lowering a dosage or stopping a child's medications, you must talk to a doctor.

What does this story mean in terms of ADD behavior at home and in the classroom? How does it affect brain-based learning? I predict that anxious parents and doctors are going to take kids off their meds. Now what are we going do with 2 million hyperactive kids!

For years, we haven't had to take responsibility for helping these kids or keeping ourselves from going crazy trying to keep some kind of order in the classroom and at home. The drugs did it for us. Now we may be on our own.

Here are ten brain-based learning strategies to help you and your kids cope:

1. Decrease sugar including drinking fruit juice. Cut down on bread and pasta, esp. that made with white, processed flour.

2. Limit TV and video games, especially TV and games that have lots of flashing lights.

3. Help them get organized. Keep a schedule and be consistent.

4. To help with reading focus, let kids read aloud and record their voice. You could read something yourself or purchase a "book on tape." Now they can read along while listening. If they can't sit still for the whole tape, let them listen while moving around. Listening skills are a necessary ingredient for good reading.

5. Practice deep breathing. Kids can even be taught a simple form of meditation which is nothing more than watching one's breath.Even getting more oxygen to the brain is a brain-based learning technique.

6. Cross right ankle over left and then give yourself a hug by crossing arms across the body, left over right. Reduces the stress in the central nervous system. Try it yourself.

7. Decrease visual distractions in children's rooms and at school. Fewer pictures, mobiles, toys. Less stuff.

8. Exercise: play, run, skip, insist on recess at school.

9. Do Brain Gym®. See www.braingymclasses.com. Some kids have gone off their meds or at least had doses reduced by doing Brain Gym. Another very effective brain-based learning strategy.

10. Eat more foods with Omega-3 fatty acids like wild salmon, sardines, tuna, flaxseed, flaxseed oil. Take fish-oil supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids increase the production of neurotransmitter chemicals just as Ritalin does.

Brain-based learning strategies include attention to what we feed our brains and how that food affects the brain's neurotransmitters.

Using these teacher resources and parenting tips will help you help children get control over ADD/ADHD, settle down, and learn more easily.

Does the Slimming Pill Hold the Answer to Weight Loss

2009-02-22T20:17:00.000-08:00

The "Diet Pill" has an obvious appeal to anyone who wants to lose weight fast, and with very little effort. How marvelous life would be if we could just pop a pill and body fat just melted away. Everyone knows, or should know at least, that if something sounds too easy or just too good to be true, that's because it is.

Every scientist, doctor, dietician and fitness trainer will tell you that taking diet pills is downright dangerous, but is it? And if it is, then how dangerous is it?

Well, according to scientists, some diet pills can cause panic attacks, strokes and even fatal heart attacks. Some of these "drugs", better known as phentermine are closely related to mphetamines, so they work as an appetite suppressant, stimulating the release of brain chemicals, which in turn reduces the sensations of hunger.

Lose Weight Naturally With These Weight Loss Tips

2009-02-20T19:47:00.000-08:00

By: Alan Walraven

When you think about a natural weight loss program I automatically think about my skeptical mind wondering if it is really going to work. I naturally want to lose weight fast but is a natural weight loss program the answer?

Natural weight loss is all about making healthy choices, so yes it will take longer, but I feel empowered knowing that I am going to be making some healthy choices in my life that are going to result in a more healthy person. So what should we be looking for in a natural weight loss program?

There are several all natural weight loss tips to take into consideration and it all begins with the beginning of your day.

It is vital that you eat breakfast to give you the needed energy for the day and to prevent upsetting your metabolism. By skipping a meal, your metabolism will slow down to help you conserve energy and thus gain weight.

The main core of any natural weight loss program should be around boosting your metabolism. What things can we do to boost our metabolism and improve how our bodies get rid of fat?

The first start to boost your metabolism is to increase meal consumption to 4-5 small meals a day. By adding smaller meals and adding metabolism boosting foods you put your body into a fat burning mode. There are certain foods that will boost your metabolism more than others. Some of these foods include oatmeal, grapefruit, apples, pears, green tea, strawberries, ginger and cinnamon.

The next thing to do when implementing a natural weight loss program is to increase the amount of water that you are drinking. Water acts as a detoxifier and if you can consume around 2-3 liters a day, you will be amazed at how quickly your weight starts to normalize. First off, it will help carry nutrients into the bloodstream and clean your system out. Secondly, it will fill you up making you less apt to snack in between and after meals. Lastly, it will keep you hydrated during the many workouts you will need.

That leads to the last weight loss tip on the schedule, exercise. Exercise is one of the most beneficial and effective natural weight loss methods you will find. Exercise will help you burn those fats and turn them into muscle. Any kind of exercise is effective as long as you push yourself and stay consistent.

Losing weight is about adopting a healthy lifestyle. Exercising, eating fresh foods more frequently and in less quantity and drinking more water will be a great start to improving your healthy developing a great natural weight loss plan.

Diet Pills and Cancer

I came across a VERY interesting article on Read Examiner.com today written by Leigh Peele. The article discussed the new over-the-counter diet pill Alli and the harm you may be bringing to yourself if you try it.

As you know, I’m a very staunch proponent of NATURAL ways to lose weight so anything that talks about the dangers of crash diets and diet pills, I will discuss for you in this blog.

What is Alli?

Alli is marketed as a weight loss program at the center of which is a diet pill. This diet pill is “the first FDA approved weight loss pill for over-the-counter use” and the active ingredient in this diet pill is Orlistat. Read More

Can Vinegar Be Used For Slimming of Our Body?

2009-01-28T19:50:00.000-08:00

Slimming Medicines

There is a famous saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away and also we can replace apple with apple cider vinegar. Vinegar can be used as a medicine.

Here are some facts that we need to take into consideration when we want to get slim the safest way.

1. The best vinegar to use to aid weight loss is apple cider vinegar, because it tends to contain more acetic acid. However, any vinegar with 5% acetic acid should work just as well.

2. Vinegar promotes weight loss even in non-dieters by taking two tablespoons of vinegar before lunch and dinner has proven to help some individuals lose on average ½ pound a week.

3. Vinegar aids weight loss by blocking calories and carbohydrates, while controlling hunger. The acetic acid in vinegar may reduce the activity of intestinal enzymes used for carbohydrate digestion, so fewer calories from the starches enter the system.

4. Vinegar is not a necessary food for a balanced diet, but a condiment of pleasant and particular feelings. Therefore it must be of good or excellent quality.

5. Do not put vinegar on green salad since it cooks it and takes away all of its scent.

6. Vinegar must be used mainly for sauces. Pure acetic acid on a salad or, even worse, on tomatoes that are already acidic in their own right, ruins a gift of nature.

7. Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV has been around for a long time and this wonder food is said to help with weight loss, acne, acid reflux, cholesterol, constipation and heartburn among others

8. If you suffer from acid reflux, heartburn or nausea, try taking one tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar prior to each meal. You may see your symptoms go away in as little as three days. However, you'll want to continue this practice for three to nine months and you may see the problem disappear altogether.

Vinegar usually is not prescribed by doctors but through frequent usages and observations, we may try to get slim using the vinegar.
