Obsessive Compulsive Disorders & TreatmentsIncreasingly parents and some General Practitioners are turning to alternative therapies to try to alleviate childhood conditions for which traditional medicine often has few resources except the prescription of medication. Dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADD/ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorders, Tourette's Syndrome and general behavioral problems can be, and often are, debilitating for child and family alike and dramatically affect quality of life for all. ADD-ADHD is caused by an imbalance in brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. There are 5 specific neurotransmitters that you must keep in good health and balance.
When you don't keep these neurotransmitters in balance a person can feel the following sensations:
There is NO "Drug" that can actually put these neurotransmitters back into natural balance. ADD-ADHD drugs simply “artificially manipulate these neurotransmitters. This method can effectively boost concentration, but often leaves a person feeling; “not myself”, not able to express any personality. These drugs don't fix the source of the problem... and they can create many more negative side effects... sometimes even death. Most ADD-ADHD drugs cause the following side effects:
Did you know... Most ADD drugs have the same effect on the body as cocaine! (class II classification based on its effects on the body...second only to Class I which contains heroine) Fact: Between the years of 1990-2000 over 569 children were hospitalized, 38 of them were life threatening hospitalizations, and 186 children died from the use of ADD-ADHD Drugs... "Insulin is a natural hormone produced by the body and it is essential for life. ADD Drugs are chemically derived amphetamine-like drugs that are not necessary for life. Diabetes is an insulin deficiency. Attention and behavioral problems are not an ADD Drug deficiency” HOW WE CAN HELP… Florida Partners in Recovery is one of the very few practices in the United States which specializes in the use of Auriculotherapy for the treatment of children. This is a system of diagnosis and treatment using the cranial nerves in the ear. Years of scientific research in France and America have produced such impressive results that the World Health Organization now recognizes Auriculotherapy as a means of diagnosis and treatment for conditions such as compulsive disorders, learning disorders, behavioral problems and Attention Deficit disorders. Generally, nerve reflex points in the ear are only evident when there is a condition to be diagnosed, making Auriculotherapy a particularly accurate and highly effective diagnostic tool. Our Partners Cognitive Therapy and Positive Behavioral Reinforcement. The second of the 3 prongs of traditional management of ADHD is cognitivie and behavioral "training". More than 1/3 of kids treated with behavioral techniques alone will improve their ADHD symptoms to some extent. The cornerstone of this type of approach is "structured daily routines". Even though ADHD kids appear to be less structured in their behaviour & habits, they respond best to a daily schedule & time limits. More so than others, these kids need to be taught to pay close attention when they are being spoken to, and quizzed to see that they have comprehended instructions. We partner with professionals who specialize in this field and are exceptionally successful with their approach. Proper Diet There is not enough that can be said about nutrition’s role in both physical and mental health. We use amino acid therapy to help restore normal neurotransmitter activation and production, as well as whole food supplementation. We also work with Holistic physicians, Naturopaths, and Nutritionists, to develop a supportive nutritional component to the healing child or adult.
