If you’re a parent or a grandparent, you are probably aware of the increase in “behavioral problems.” Childhood issues such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), defiant behavior, autism, learning disabilities, cognitive disorders and others are more prevalent now than at any time in our history.

Toxins are all around us – pesticides and herbicides are on the grass in our neighborhoods and the fruits & vegetables we eat! Speaking of food – the dyes & preservatives in so many foods can be very reactive to a growing body.

Heavy metal poisoning – we find mercury, aluminum and lead affecting children more than any other toxic metals. These toxins are found in food, vaccines, cookware and countless other sources!

These is something very important to remember here. The toxins or combination of toxins that might be causing ADHD in one child can be causing a cognitive disorder in another child and can actually be causing autism in yet another. Yes, the same toxins!

When young bodies are growing & developing they utilize everything available as a building block. So we need to be aware of the toxins in our world. Often short-term or long-term reactions can occur from exposure.

Autism can be a long-term reaction. ADHD is often nothing more that a reaction to something the body perceives as toxic. Long-term ingestion of a food that a young individual is sensitive to (it might be wheat, sugar, milk, etc.) can result in cognitive problems. The child labeled as “difficult” may experience a night and day change with the proper dietary changes. No drugs needed!

Any positive treatment must start with the diet of these young people. Minimize or eliminate possible exposure to these known toxins.

Using Nutrition Response Testing, we can determine if there are toxins present and what steps need to be taken to eliminate them.

Citing an article in the Guardian newspaper, Natural News recently reported that “In its never-ending attempt to fabricate ‘mental disorders’ out of every human activity, the psychiatric industry is now pushing the most ridiculous disease they’ve invented yet: “Healthy Eating Disorder.”

Sadly, this is not a joke.  This so-called condition, orthorexia nervosa, is said to affect an equal number of men and women.  “Sufferers” tend to be over 30, middle-class and well-educated.  This group has considerations on such things as sugar, caffeine, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, genetically modified foods and dairy.  Additionally, they often avoid processed foods which they consider to be “artificial.”  One treatment facility states that the orthorexia nervosa disease can progress into a serious eating disorder that can lead to (among other complications) “regular advance planning of meals for the next day.”

According to one “expert” from the National Center for Eating Disorders, this disorder is everywhere and is being proliferated by trainers, nutritionists, dieticians and naturopaths who believe in curing problems through natural methods.

Another treatment facility for this “disorder” states in its behavior profile that sufferers have concerns over the relationship between food choices and health concerns, such as asthma, allergies, digestive problems and anxiety.  They go on to state that these people may avoid certain foods due to food allergies, without medical advice.  These folks also have a noticeable increase in the consumption of supplements and herbal remedies.

Apparently the unspoken message here is that those who eat junk food are Ok.  They’re “normal.”   They’re “sane.”

In reality, de-vitalized, dead and devoid of nutrients food reduces your health, increases degenerative conditions, increases mental confusion and reduces quality of life.

On the flipside of the coin, those who eat a diet rich in real and whole food are noticeably healthier, have far less physical complaints and have an emotional stability that many junk food eaters do not have.

This is another example of the TRUE insanity that is taking place in our food supply and health care system.  It has become increasingly apparent that the FDA has become a rogue agency that is out of control.

Don’t ever be intimidated by the tactics of the FDA or the psychiatric industry who rely on money and junk science for their authority.

Think of our office as an island of sanity.  We will always provide you with true and reliable information.  We welcome those with “Healthy Eating Disorder” to our drug-free office.

According to a recent study conducted and published in England, people who eat more processed foods are significantly more likely to suffer from depression compared to those who eat whole foods.

Results were based on the diet and lifestyle of 3,500 middle aged adults.

Physical and mental health are often related. Some patients of ours have commented on how their emotional stability has increased as a result of dietary changes and being on a program tailored for them.
