When I stated practicing, admittedly according to my kids, that was in the dark ages! None the less, we had nothing called ADHD, ADD or our favorite combo ADD/ADHD Children. And now you cannot be with a group of parents without hearing how many of their children have had a diagnosis of one or all of these. How devastating for the family.

Ok... so what are these really!? Well, in over 30 years of working with parents, children and teachers I have found that it is easier when I explain it this way.

So think about your car or your parents car - this is something you use to get from one place to another. Interestingly enough I think cars are sort of like bodies in this way:

1. You have to do basic maintenance to keep your car running.
2. You have to fuel your car.
3. If you want your car to look nice, you need to keep it clean.
4. If you want your car to last a long time, then you have extra care you'll take.

Don't worry we are getting to those diagnoses above. For right now we are just going to talk about number 2 above.

I have seen most children when asked, "What would happen if you put a piece of chocolate cake in the gas tank of your Mom's car?" Say, "Oh, ugh, it wouldn't run!" Well the same is true of bodies. Especially children's bodies.

This is the huge, very obvious thing, that everyone has been walking around knows - we are not fueling bodies for success now. People eat something called "food" but that food has been so chemically altered, so denatured (all the good stuff taken out so that it has a long shelf life), that nothing can grow by ingesting it. Kids cannot grow on it.

What does a body act like if it has been fed food that has very little nutrient value? Easy!

• It cannot sit still.
• It cannot concentrate.
• It will bounce all over the place.
• It will act inappropriate for the situation it is in.
• It will get a diagnosis of ADD, ADHD or the combo ADD/ADHD.

Because for sure they are not giving a cause--and you probably already know that--because if they were that would give you the direction, the guidance to handle or reverse what you are seeing in the ADD Child or ADHD Child!

Now, we are in a developed country... and the idea that our children could be malnourished is inconceivable to us. Look at all the food in the grocery. We are not a third world country. And that is why this has gone on for so long. But now we have to look at this because this is the why! And looking at this will handle the problem.

Two thousand years after Hippocrates said "all diseases begin in the gut" we again can help our children by honoring this wisdom.

The difference in how I handle each child, or adult is based on exactly where they are currently health-wise. If you want to go to Memphis it is important to know if you are starting in Dallas or Atlanta because the map to get to Memphis is different depending on where you are starting. That is why a starting point analysis is done.

This is a fun trip - when would you like to start?
