Summary

In natural health circles, it is common to hear that ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is over-diagnosed and that too many children are being medicated for “just being kids.”

John Gray, famous for his bestseller “Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus,” would agree that too many children are medicated, but he believes that ADHD is actually under-diagnosed.

Gray struggled with ADHD most of his life before finding relief and became an expert in natural health in the process. Though he is known as a relationship expert, he has spent the past 15 years researching and becoming an expert in natural health after receiving (and eventually reversing) a Parkinsons diagnosis.

Now, he has written a book called Staying Focused In A Hyper World: Natural Solutions For ADHD, Memory And Brain Performance, that details the steps he used to help recover from ADHD and Parkinsons and resources he has used to help many other people recover as well.

In This Episode, We Discuss

Why Gray says ADHD is under-diagnosed
The different types of ADHD and why the differences are important
Why reducing a fever may lead to ADHD and other problems
How EMFs affect us, especially those with underlying brain issues
Why oxidative stress affects the brain and the rest of the body
Practical solutions if your child has ADHD (the answer might be in the bath tub?)
Why Glutathione is the master nutrient for the brain and how to get enough
How giving your children a hot (103 degree) bath every other day can help
Why 20 minutes of sunshine each day is so important
So much more.
