ADHDrone

ADHDrone and his cronies are up to no good! They spread discomfort and challenges wherever they go. Are you and your superheroes up to the challenge of facing them?

ADHDrone has been the bane of existence of many superheroes, both young and old.  Unfortunately, many therapies have focused solely on the suppression of symptoms and have not looked at possible causes and holistic treatment for this villain.

ADHD is a multifactorial problem and traces its roots to several causes, including:

  • Genetic factors
  • Environmental toxins
  • Head injury
  • Stresses within the family

These factors band together with the villains that we discuss here to create ADHDrone and other cognitive challenges.  It can be triggered by:

  • Food allergies
  • Intestinal parasites
  • Chronic infections
  • Imbalanced biochemical mediators

Brain matters

Sophisticated brain-imaging techniques, such as MRI and functional imaging, reveals abnormalities in ADHD patients.

These abnormalities involve both the gray matter and the white matter of the brain.

In the gray matter, tests show that blood flow and energy use decreased in much the same areas that show anatomical abnormalities: the prefrontal cortex and striatum.

Structural deficits of the white matter could decrease communication speed.

Facing ADHDrone

ADHD is a formidable foe that requires heroes to make changes to their lives in order to keep it under control.  Sometimes these changes may be challenging, especially at a young age, but they are not impossible to implement.

With proper guidance and a strong action plan, heroes can do more than live with ADHD in their lives, they can learn how to thrive with it.

NeuroTox

NeuroTox uses heavy metals and other toxins in the body to negatively affect brain health

Inflames

Inflames spreads inflammation throughout the body and brain which causes a lot of neurological challenges.

SugarCube

Sugar is one of the biggest villains when it comes to those who have a predisposition to ADHD and other brain afflictions
