Childhood ADHD Applied too Liberally?

The article, “ADHD Diagnoses in Children Increase, Worrying Some Doctors”, by Jeannette Y. Wick states

“Diagnoses of ADHD have risen dramatically in recent years, leading some health care professionals to worry that the diagnosis is being applied too liberally.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:
Why are doctors treating ADHD as a default diagnosis for childhood problems?   Childhood ADHD needs to quit being labeled on children so liberally by our medical field.    This mislabeling leads to medications that our children do not need to be put on.   There are plenty of good natural ADHD treatments out there that can stop our children being put on prescription drugs!    For more on natural ADHD counseling techniques please check out our webpage.

Fighting Adrenal Fatigue and High Cortisol Levels? How to Improve Your Energy / All Body Ecology Articles

If your inner ecosystem is out of whack, it can lead to bacterial overgrowth, inflammation, and a full-blown stress response. Healing the gut will not only support healthy digestion, but it can help to boost energy levels.

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:
Very interesting article. Discusses adrenal fatigue and high cortisol levels in the body, in relation to stress. It also ties in issues related to probiotics.
Hidden factors like a damaged inner ecosystem and Candida overgrowth can place stress on your entire body. What’s worse is that poor digestion can slow down the adrenal fatigue recovery process. Dysbiosis, or damage, can occur in your inner ecosystem if you were born via C-section, have had antibiotic therapy, or eat the standard American diet. To learn more about probiotic therapies, seek out a health coach or a certified holistic nurse.
