In Response To: Homepathy for ADHD (Maureen)
I have a theory as to the cause of ADHD, ADD, and other conditions with a variety of symptoms that we treat, without knowing the cause.
Many of the children with ADHD/ADD have been tested and shown to have food "sensitivies". I think the sensitivies are due to an imbalance of the bacteria needed to process the food.
In the intestine there are over 500 different bacteria. An imbalance in those bacteria could cause various alterations, causing various symptoms. The normal flora of the intestine is susceptible to many things such as antibiotic treatment, too much sugar, too much alcohol, etc.
While breaking down substances in the GI tract, bacteria produces gases and toxins, which may affect the behavior/mental alertness/etc. and could also affect the GI tract itself causing inflammation and decreased absorption of DOPAMINE, of which 90% is absorbed in the gut, which again could affect mental alertness, and behavior.
I am not impressed with the current "medical" treatment for these symptoms, which plaque much of our youth. I am searching for someone who can resarch my theory and validate this with proven research, so that we can begin to treat this correctly. Homeopathy has a reputation of treating the cause. I hope that you can use this information to your and our benefit.
