Nutrition For Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD – Educational Video
The Film, “Is Your Child’s Brain Starving?”
Lecture on how diet can contribute to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) by Dr. Michael R. Lyon, MD. Shot at Mount Royal College, Calgary, Alberta. Dr. Lyon – “As the director of a medical & research centre, I have explored a variety of potential treatments to improve brain function in children and adults, without the use of drugs like Ritalin. Although I believe there is promise in certain herbal medicines and in non-drug treatments such as biofeedback, I have seen the most profound improvements in learning and behaviour through an intelligently applied nutritional program.” Notes from cameraman (Gordon McDowell):
Dr. Lyon later emailed me a copy of his Power Point presentation , which I’ve incorporated into the video.

Informative and powerful. This is the KEY I have been looking for. I already knew about the fish, flax and multivit. Now we add the L-theanine.
Thank You so very much Dr. Lyon.

One should watch Genertion RX,hits the nail on the head!!!

and there IS NO CURE YOU RETARDS! IF THERE WAS A CURE THEN YOUR DOCTOR WOULD NOT HAVE YOU TAKE A BUNCH OF MEDICATION FOR YEARS AND YEARS THEY WOULD JUST GIVE YOU YOUR VITAMIN
I posted a video …
I posted a video that’s right in line with this. Meds are not an instant-cure!

I’ve always used …
I’ve always used multi-vitamin supplements, adding broccoli and other fruits & vegetables to my diet. What I was explaining before though, none of this will cure you. You’ll feel better & maybe have slightly improved memory & focus…but overall the same problems are there. ADHD gets worse with aging, unfortunately.
neo nobody who has …
neo nobody who has any sort of psychiatric training and is still considered an authority by the NIH will say that diet and exercise can help cure adhd. but quacks still have a following because people are skeptical of “the man” and view the medical community as some sort of legion of doom. but the majority of youtube videos about adhd are retarded because its the only place that most quacks can talk about their dumb retarded nonsense. and most of their followers will never have a say in medicine
people get doctoral …
people get doctoral degrees in things that have nothing to do with the field of medicine or psychology. therefore they are able to call themselves Dr. McFingerblast and get away with it and people believe them as an authority.
Ah, Mr Neo2001, …
Ah, Mr Neo2001, that’s interesting! Was not aware of that! Do you think it would be worthwhile adding vitamin B complex on a daily basis?? My frustrated earlier response is a result of listening to too many people who downplay the seriousness of my condition-adhd. Appreciate your opinion, be glad if you offer some advice on this – seem like you know what you’re talking about.
ekorre33, the …
ekorre33, the advantages to a healthier diet and regular exercise are still helpful to the rest of the body, but it will not change your physiology. In the case of a physio-neurological disorder like ADHD diet and exercise has very little if no impact on the condition itself. Vitamin B Complex still remains needed by the brain, so should never be ignored in your diet. I have never found any treatment(s), diets, exercises, pills, therapy’s, behavior modifications, etc…that I considered cure
mr neo im so glad …
mr neo im so glad someone like you said what i was thinking. it is hurtful and offensive when i hear people talk badly about ADHD or about parents who medicate their children. i have been on concerta for 10 years and i am almost done with my undergrad work. i think the medication allowed me to be me rather than letting the biology of my brain interfere with my life. and people attack medication without knowing a god damned thing about it and then think they are right and we are the bad guys.
If you think …
If you think exercise and a healthy diet can replace medication for adhd, you need to get a new job. How can somebody so stupid be a doctor. I have adhd, exercise and a healthy lifestyle have not reduced my problems one iota. Nada, nil, zippo, zilsch. So, please shut the up with your diet and exercise bullshit you dumbass mother funker!
Controlling anxiety …
Controlling anxiety with drugs like Effexor helps, because it offers the ability to stop cyclic thinking & impulsive behaviors. When your mind travels in loops such as “What if’s?” it’s harder to focus and under a certain degree of stress it becomes impossible to accomplish any goals or even eat and sleep for people who have ADHD. Unfortunately people who have never lived with the condition make life far worse for those with ADHD by attempting to shame them into changing what they cannot.
I was also told my …
I was also told my daughter had ADHD when she was very young but I chose not to follow it up and so she wasn’t diagnosed by a doctor. My daughter is very hard work but she could have been alot worse if I’d have gone down the route some parents do and medicate their children……….
As it stands, she’s always in trouble at school, she’s disobedient and wants her own way all the time. In other words, she’s acting like many other 14yr old girls……she’ll be ok.
how do you get the …
how do you get the teachers to understand that you need time to change a child that has been on med for 5 years he is 9 now and cps had control now i have control but they are so use to the child zombie that when he starts to come awake they complain about physical abuse on other children so i feel trapped
Something must be …
Something must be done about how this disease is diagnosed. It seems like now everyone and their brother has ADHD, and they use it as an excuse for everything.
“A disease or medical condition is an abnormal condition of an organism that impairs bodily functions, associated with specific symptoms and signs.” – Definition.
40% of the population with a certain alike characteristic (like so called “ADHD”) is not abnormal.
