Helping ADHD Sufferers: Neurocore
Finally, there may be scientific evidence for children and adults who suffer with adhd. This science records brain waves and helps determine what is actually going on inside the brain of somebody with adhd.
I can't wait to get started with my daughter Harper. We start in October because we are waiting for our health insurance to kick in. I am so excited about this and I have high hopes! Watch the videos on their website. They have some great inspirational success stories!
This is another step in the right direction!

Symptom Free of ADHD
Harper’s Nutritional Program
Symptom Free
of ADHD
of ADHD
{ A 90 Day Challenge }
Goal: To become
symptom free of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
The
Challenge: Shaklee Supplementation Program, Good Diet and Non-Toxic Household
Environment
Thousands
of kids, teens and adults with learning, inattention, concentration or
hyperactivity issues have had great results from this supplementation program,
when coupled with good diets and non-toxic household environments.
How to Start the Nutritional Program
A Healthy Brain for Optimal Learning
(revised from Laura's post on www.adhdsupport.com)
1. BEFORE STARTING THE PROGRAM, MAKE A LIST OF SYMPTOMS
It is important for parents to list both small and large symptoms before starting. The smaller ones will disappear first, following the worst ones. Listing symptoms before starting allows you to recognize the progress being made. Major difference should appear in 3 months. Some say you need a month for each year of a child’s age (7 year old in 7 months).

2. ADJUST DOSAGES AFTER 3 MONTHS
After 3 months, you might start
adjusting some dosages.
3. MAKE A CHART OF SUPPLEMENTS
Keep records of changes. Make a
contract with the child. You can make it a reward system with the child to help
them stick to their vitamin supplementation program. Call them “Space Age Food”
or “Food Capsules” for 90 days without complaint and they can earn a reward. If
the child has trouble swallowing tablets, have him put one in his mouth and
then drink through a straw. It will go down. If necessary, tablets can be
ground in a coffee grinder, blender, pill crusher or mortar and pestle and
mixed with soy drink or soft food like applesauce. Capsules can be pricked and
squirted into food (Essential Omega 3/EPA would have a taste).
4. POWER BALLS
Keep the blood sugar balanced during the day
with a high protein breakfast (Soy/Slim Plan), with fiber and Bs, and then some
protein at lunch. A protein snack will help get through homework. Try another
soy drink (warm the creamy cocoa and call it hot chocolate!) or here is a high
protein recipe.
“Power Balls” Recipe
1 Cup Energizing Soy Protein, any flavor
1 Cup
Peanut Butter
1 Cup
Honey
¼ Cup
Fiber Crunch or Fiber Blend
Make into balls, roll over fiber
crunch to coat, and then put in freezer. Kids love them!
5. LOOK AT THE DIET
Supplements and foods all work
together. Decrease processed foods (candy, soda, foods with preservative and
colorings, sugar-laden cakes and cookies, etc.) Instead use wholesome foods
like fresh fruit, raw vegetable, whole grain products (or better yet, Gluten
Free products including cereals, breads and pasta.) Try to stay away from
juices and soda.
Find a professional who can identify food
sensitivities or allergies. Investigate the possibility of yeast overgrowth.
Drink plenty of filtered water. You can encourage your child to drink lots of
water by buying him a special cup or water bottle (preferred glass so you are
not reintroducing chemicals back into the body from the plastic water bottles.)
Make sure there is adequate
fiber in the diet (whole grains, veggies, and fruit). Between fiber and water
there should be at least one good bowel movement per day to avoid re-absorption
of toxins. You can take charge of your child’s health!
6. Supplementation Schedule
NOTE: It is very important that Shaklee vitamins are used! You will not get the same results with other brands. This is from my experience of using Shaklee supplements for the last 3 years.

Starter plan for average sized 8
year old
Start with a three day cleanse
using ½ tablet Herb-Lax the first night, increasing to 1 the second night and 1
½ for the third. Continue at 2 until two good bowel movements in a day, in
order to remove toxins and increase absorption. Increase water and fiber to
keep things moving. The following schedule is only a guide. Everyone is
different. Sometimes whatever way it manages to get in daily is the “right”
way.
*VITA
LEA CHEWABLES
2 Children’s chewable multi per day,
-1 at
breakfast and 1 at dinner
* INSTANT PROTEIN SOY MIX
1
serving in morning, plus as a high protein snack after school
Or
Energizing Soy Protein
Helps
stabilize the blood sugar, improves concentration and provides consistent energy.
The Soy Mix has a natural flavor and no sugar and less than 1 g of carbs! It
mixes easily with lots of foods for drinks and cooking and baking. The
Energizing Soy Protein comes in natural vanilla or creamy cocoa and mixes with
soy/rice milk, if you are trying to avoid milk, or with fruits & juices.
The Slim Plan Gold is balanced between carbohydrates, protein and fiber.
Provides 12 grams of protein from soy.
* LECITHIN
4-6 per
day, spread out over the day
Lecithin is brain food. High stress of these
kids eats
up the lecithin during the day.
Important
for concentration
*ZINC
1 per
day, at breakfast or before homework
(Vita
Lea has some zinc)
Concentration
can increase right away.
A mood leveler
plus builds immune system.
*GLA & EPA 2 to 3 spread out over day- a good balance
Is 2 EPA (Essential Omega 3) to 1 GLA
Essential fatty acids balance hormones and
feed the brain.
Studies show effectiveness.
*CAL/MAG 2 to 4 per day
(Depending on diet) spread out
over meals & bedtime
Calcium reduces stress.
Magnesium relaxes brain, nerves and muscles.
*B COMPLEX 2 to 4 per day
1 at breakfast, lunch,
after-school snack, and supper
Balances blood sugar throughout
the day, along with protein and fiber.
Aids metabolism of foods. Stress
depletes B. Helps with anxiety,
Irritability, alleviates sugar cravings,
promotes normal growth. 1 B just at bedtime sometimes helps those who wake up
cranky but if taken 15 minutes before sleep, it can keep them awake!
A rule of thumb for how much B for
hyperactivity: “If the urine is
yellow, she is mellow”. It is
water-soluble and lasts 3 to 4 hours, so
needs replenishing.
*OPTIFLORA (acidophilus)
*OPTIFLORA (acidophilus)
1 pearl per day with powder
