People who sit down to a daily breakfast of eggs, not only pollute their blood with over 58,000 biological transformations or bacteria per egg, which also activates an immediate immune response, but will have an increased risk of developing the acidic condition of diabetes.
In a long-term study of 57,000 U.S. adults, researchers found that those who ate a filthy dirty acidic egg a day were 58 percent to 77 percent more likely than non-egg-eaters to develop type 2 diabetes.
The findings, published in the journal Diabetes Care, do not necessarily mean that eggs themselves put people on a path to diabetes, according to the researchers. But they do suggest it is wise to limit your egg intake.
"Based on the current data, our recommendations would be to consume eggs in moderation and not to exceed six eggs per week," lead researcher Dr. Luc Djousse, of Harvard Medical School in Boston, told Reuters Health.
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center in San Diego, California, "eggs are not for eating. Eggs are for the reproduction of the species. When you eat an egg you seriously pollute the blood with thousands of biological transformations, medical Science calls bacteria and yeast. Eggs are on my top ten list of acidic foods never to eat. The others include animal protein such as chicken, turkey, duck, pork, beef, and then all forms of dairy, vinegar, fermented soy such as soy sauce or miso, corn and all related corn products, such as corn syrup, peanuts or peanut oil, mushrooms of all kinds, alcohol, coffee and tea, and finally all forms of sugar."
The study does not explain exactly why eggs are linked to diabetes, but cholesterol may play a role. The study participants' daily cholesterol intake was also related to diabetes risk, and when the researchers factored this in, the relationship between egg intake and diabetes weakened.
"Cholesterol is not the problem with eggs or the cholesterol made by the body. Cholesterol helps to bind up acids and protects the alkaline design of the body. The problem with eggs are that they are highly acidic and full of biological transformations (bacteria and yeast) that pollute the fluids of the body. This activates the white blood cells to clean up the bloody (pun intended) mess. Bottom line eggs are a filthy, dirty thing to eat and were NEVER meant for human consumption," states Dr. Young.
In animal studies, high saturated and/or trans fat diets have been shown to raise levels of blood Sugar and the sugar-regulating hormone insulin -- suggesting a way that an acidic diet might promote diabetes.
"The acid from eggs breaks down body cells, including the red blood cells and thus increases blood sugar. Sugar is a breakdown product or acid from the degeneration of any body cell. This is why blood sugars go up. The body is breaking down just like when a banana ripens. It gets sweeter as it spoils or degenerates. Once we get it into our heads that Sugar is an acid from rotting matter, including body matter than maybe we will stop eating foods and drinking liquids that are acidic or full of sugar. This is the true cause of diabetes," states Dr. Young.
According to Djousse, it's important for people at risk of type 2 diabetes -- due to factors like family history and obesity -- to pay attention to their overall cholesterol intake, and not just cholesterol from eggs.
"In the prevention of diabetes or in its reversal you just have to stop making acidic lifestyle and dietary choices. It is acidic choice that causes diabetes and eating eggs is one of those acidic choices that leads to diabetes," states Dr. Young.
Even more important, he noted, is a focus on overall health -- maintaining a normal weight, exercising regularly and eating a well-balanced diet -- rather than any one food or nutrient.
"Preventing or reversing diabetes is as simple as making better choices and choices must be alkalizing."

(NaturalNews) How many times have you heard to eat fruits and vegetables? Well, there is a good reason to start as fruits and vegetables are at the top of
the healthy foods list. Mother Nature has packed them with hundreds of different nutrients designed to keep our bodies in top working order. Nearly all
fruits and vegetables help counteract excessive amounts of acid in the body which is another benefit.
Too much acid, or acidosis, is a condition marked by high levels of acid in the body. With symptoms ranging from fatigue, aches and pains, acidosis can be
very disruptive to daily life. In spite of that, however, (it is seldom diagnosed) or even mentioned in mainstream medicine.
The health issues of Acidosis are complicated and stem from the fact that the body`s pH (potential of hydrogen) is out of balance, and proper pH balance is
vital for good health. Ideally, the body`s pH should be 7.43. A lower pH is a sign of too much acid, or acidosis. A pH above 8.5 indicates excessive
alkalinity, or alkalosis.
Myriad health problems are linked to both acidosis and alkalosis. But acidosis is especially problematic because it interferes with healthy cell functions
throughout the body. One example is the production of white blood cells, essential for a strong immune system. Poor quality white blood cells are produced
in an acidic environment, making it easy for infections. Fortunately, restoring a proper pH balance boosts the immune system and benefits the entire body.
A diet high in acid-producing
causes acidosis. Not surprisingly, the Standard American Diet (SAD) is loaded with acidic foods, including meat, dairy products and grains and cereals -
anything containing sugar, eggs, legumes, coffee, tea, wine, fish and fowl. Their acidic content needs to be balanced with alkaline foods.
Sugary foods are a special concern. Soft drinks, for instance, which contain as much as 12 teaspoons of Sugar in the typical 16-ounce can, are highly
acidic. To neutralize all that
, the body takes alkaline substances, like the mineral calcium, and moves it from the bones into the bloodstream. Acidity is lowered, but the bones are
being deprived of the calcium they need to remain strong and healthy.
If you`re concerned about acidosis, it`s easy to determine your own pH levels. The simple test involves using litmus paper that tests the saliva and urine;
then check the second urine of the day.
If the test reveals 6.5 or less, then acidosis is a problem. The best way to change that is with dietary improvements designed to make the body more
alkaline. That translates into eating more vegetables. An acid-reducing diet should consist of 80 percent alkalizing foods and 20 percent acid-forming
foods.
Some fruits and almost all vegetables are alkalizing. So eat your vegetables or begin to take a multi
supplement that focuses on alkalinity. Tomatoes and citrus actually have an alkalinizing effect when consumed. So enjoy lemons, tomatoes and related foods
without worrying about contributing to acid levels.
After a week or so on the acid-reducing diet, retest your urine to see if the pH level is higher to your goal level of 7.43. Maintain your alkalinity
levels by eating properly and taking a multi green supplement.

Acidosis starts as the accumulation of acids in the lymph system.
..acid ash from burning the acid foods that we eat, and acid drinks
..acid chemicals from foods, things we put on our skin, breathing our self-polluted home environment, air pollution
..acids from each and every cell in our body, just like your car has exhaust, so do your cells
..acids from Rx and OTC (over the counter) drugs
Every cell in the body is surround by lymph fluid. There is an entire vascular system to pick up these fluids and move them out of the body. Too many acids, these fluids thicken, the vascular system expands (literally swells) and can clog up. This happens very easily in our sedentary world; the only thing that moves this lymph is muscle movement.
Let me give you a visual:
We're looking at a brick wall.
The bricks are your cells.
The mortor is lymph fluid.
Now...
Imagine instead of that mortor being "cement", look at it as fluid.
As that fluid fills with acids and thinkens and expands, the bricks wouldn't stay in their nice neat rows and lines. They become an organizational mess. At this point, it's not only the acids that are damaging, the cells are no longer in correct correlation to the blood's capillaries, their food source. This causes cell damage.
Malnutriton, cell damage, clogged/swollen lymph system ... VOILA ... ACIDOSIS.
~PlzChuckle~
We all know that multiple trips to the acidic buffet for fatty acidic fried foods and sugary acidic deserts will pile on the pounds of protection. But no matter how carefully you watch your diet, stealth saboteurs may be making it difficult for you to shed extra pounds of acids. Several of the most common diet saboteurs you may not suspect -- and how to counteract them -- are:
1. Lack of Sleep. Recent research has shown that a
lack of sleep stresses your body physiologically and
causes the body to store the acids into fat more.
Counteract by getting eight hours of restful sleep
each night.
2. Stress. Stress throws the body into survival mode
where metabolism slows and the body stores fuel. In
addition, it dumps metabolic acids into your system,
such as cortisol and other hormones, which tend to
cause weight gain in the abdomen. Fight stress by
exercising, deep breathing and relaxation techniques.
3. Medications. Many prescription drugs are acidic,
including some used to treat depression, migraine,
blood pressure, and diabetes can cause weight gains
as drastic as ten pounds a month! Other acidic
medications, such as steroids and oral contraceptives,
can also cause weight gain as the body uses fat as
a buffer for acidic drugs. If you've had weight gain
with no change in lifestyle, check your medication
and talk to your doctor. You may want to consider
a more alkaline lifestyle and diet.
4. Lack of Alkaline Hydration. The body needs water
and the right kind of water to flush acidic waste
products from diet and metabolism. If the body
is not receiving adequate alkaline hydration acids
cannot be eliminated and are therefore stored into
the fatty acids. The body will also retain fat from
the diet to store excess acids from lifestyle and
diet not being eliminated because of a lack of
Alkaline Water consumption. You may want to
consider increasing your Alkaline Water consumption
to 1 liter per 30 pounds of weight to begin
detoxing the body of excess acidity.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist from the pH Miracle Living Center states, "fat is not the problem with over or underweight - it is the acidic waste products from our lifestyle and diet. The body retains fat to park excess acids away from the organs that sustain life. Therefore, the retention of fat on the body is a natural protection mechanism
to sustain and preserve life. If one is overweight or derweight then the treatment is simple - get off the acidic lifestyle and diet and the body will naturally and easily lose all the excess
weight or start gaining healthy weight. It is important to remember that the only cause of excess weight or underweight is an acidic lifestyle and diet."

(NaturalNews) Research by two Kansas State University scientists could help with the large-scale cultivation and manufacturing of oil-rich algae in oceans for biofuel. K-State's Zhijian "Z.J." Pei, associate professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, and Wenqiao "Wayne" Yuan, assistant professor of biological and agricultural engineering, have received a $98,560 Small Grant for Exploratory Research from the National Science Foundation to study solid carriers for manufacturing algae biofuels in the ocean.
Algae are a diverse and simple group of organisms that live in or near water. Certain algal species are high in oil content that could be converted into such fuels as biodiesel, according to Pei and Yuan. Algae also have several environmentally-friendly advantages over corn or other plants used for biofuels, including not needing soil or fresh water to grow.
Pei and Yuan plan to identify attributes of algae and properties of materials that enable growth of certain algae species on solid carriers. Solid carriers float on the water surface for algae to attach to and grow on.
"Not all materials are equally suitable to make these carriers," Yuan said. "Some materials are better for algal attachment and growth than others, and we will be identifying what those 'good' materials are."
The project could help with the design of major equipment for manufacturing algae biofuels from the ocean, including solid carriers, in-the-ocean algae harvesting equipment and oil extraction machines, Pei said.
"This research aims to develop a cost-effective process for growing algae on solid carriers in the ocean for biofuel manufacturing," he said. "If successful, it will greatly benefit the energy security of the United States, as well as society in general."
The research will be conducted with a two-step approach.
"Selected algae species will be grown on solid carriers in a simulated ocean environment and will be evaluated for their ability to attach to solid carriers and grow in seawater, their biomass productivity, and their oil content," Pei said. "Top-ranked species in step one will be selected to test the performance of several carrier materials, including natural organic, synthetic organic and inorganic materials, with the same evaluation parameters as in step one."
Pei said the properties of the highly-ranked carriers also will be analyzed.
Yuan, who has studied biodiesel for several years, said the major problem with making the fuel has been finding sustainable oil and fat sources.
"Algae seems to be the only promising sustainable oil source for biodiesel production," he said. "In my lab, we have several different projects involving algae and we have been trying different ways to grow it. We have already obtained some encouraging results."
Pei said the project also will have an educational benefit, with K-State College of Engineering graduate and undergraduate students to be involved in the multidisciplinary research.
Pei, a K-State faculty member since 2000, has expertise in new process development, process modeling of silicon wafering, and traditional and nontraditional machining processes. Pei earned his bachelor's from the Zhengzhou Institute of Technology and his master's from the Beijing Institute of Technology, both in China. His doctorate is from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Yuan, who joined K-State in 2006, has research interests in biofuels and biomaterials, diesel engine combustion and performance, and algae photobioreactor and bioprocessing systems. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from China Agricultural University, and his doctorate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

(NaturalNews) Scientists have increasingly warned that a hasty switch from fossil fuels to biofuels may actually accelerate global warming rather than helping to avert it, leading U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown to DE CLARE his opposition to new European uniion biofuel standards that will soon be going into effect.
Recent studies have suggested that clearing forests to grow biofuel crops would release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than the fuels' use would save.
"If one started to use biofuels ... and in reality that policy led to an increase in greenhouse gases rather than a decrease, that would obviously be insane," said Bob Watson, chief scientific adviser for the United Kingdom's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. "It would certainly be a perverse outcome."
"There are real problems with the unsustainability of biofuels," said John Beddington, chief scientific adviser for the British government in a recent speech. He warned that the massive demand for biofuels from the United States has already led to land being taken out of food production for biofuel crops, delivering a "major shock" to food prices around the world.
The criticism comes only days ahead of a deadline for the diesel and gasoline in all European uniion countries to contain 2.5 percent biofuels. Under European uniion rules, 5.75 percent of all gasoline and diesel must come from "renewable" sources by 2010.
Citing concerns about biofuel impacts, Brown has DE CLAREd his opposition to the new quotas. While the United Kingdom is obligated by law to abide by the 2010 targets, the British government is expected to oppose efforts to raise that quote to 10 percent by 2020.
"I take extremely seriously concerns about the impact of biofuels on deforestation, precious habitats and on food security," Brown said. "The United Kingdom is working to ensure a European sustainability standard is introduced as soon as possible, and we will not support an increase in biofuels over current target levels until an effective standard is in place."
Scientists Warn Against Sudden Shift to Biofuels; Climate May be Ha...
(NaturalNews) On June 27th of this year the NY times reported that The Bureau of Land Management put a two year moratorium on all government applications for solar energy production on public lands (1).
They did this out of concern for "Environmental impact". You are probably re-reading those first couple of sentences and thinking "how is this possible?", how can The Bureau of Land Management actually think that by pulling the "plug" on these applications and freezing any and all forward motion on public solar projects -- on what is estimated to be over 119 million surface acres of usable land, mostly throughout the southwest -- be a responsible and intelligent decision?
They can't, because no less than a week later they decided to reverse their decision due to public out cry. James Caswell BLM Director was quoted saying in a Christian Science Monitor article:
"We heard the concerns expressed during the scoping period about waiting to consider new applications, and we are taking action. By continuing to accept and process new applications for solar energy projects, we will aggressively help meet growing interest in renewable energy sources, while ensuring environmental protections" (2).
Personally, I'm grateful for all of the people who stood up and acted on this, like citizens of this great country it's because of moments like this that we prove that we still have a say in our government, and that we need to keep holding their feet to the "Solar fire".
The solar industry has had a long and arduous journey and it still needs help. It started in 1884 with the invention of the photovoltaic cell by inventor Charles Fritts. From there we can track solar energy development throughout time. From the use of solar cells as a back-up power source on the Vanguard I satellite in the 1960's to the failed attempts by the Carter administration to bolster the industry in the late 1970's and to political and social setbacks of the 1980's, Solar research and development has been waiting for its due, and I think its time may just have come, but the U.S. is definitely not the leader.
As of today, Germany is creating 4,150 Megawatts (MW) of electricity from photovoltaic resources mostly subsidized from government "Feed-in Electricity Tariffs". Spain comes in second at 640 MW. Japan is a distant third at 318 MW until a severe set back in 2005 when their government pulled the plug on subsidies for solar panels for homes and subsequently dropped production to a current 230 MW. But Japan is now getting back in the game with Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda announcing that Japan has a long-term goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60-80 percent by 2050 as well as positioning itself to provide subsidies and tax breaks for solar panel makers starting in 2009. Where is the United States in comparison? Well in 2007, The United States' domestic solar photovoltaic market grew to a whopping 220 Megawatts. A far cry to Germany's 4,150 MW (just for reference, Germany is roughly the size of the State of Montana), and still behind Japan's 230 MW.
As of right now, home and business owners in the U.S. can get up to a 30% tax credit for installing and using Solar technology for energy production, The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 made this possible, but that all ends on December 31st 2008. The Senate is currently discussing extending the crucial tax incentives tagged onto the "Securing America's Energy Independence Act of 2007". This bill is currently being reviewed by the Senate Finance Committee. If passed it will extend the solar energy investment tax credits for homeowners and businesses here in the United States for eight more years. A much needed boost for the solar industry, especially in these economic times.
Rhone Resch, The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President was quoted as saying "This bill emphasizes the importance for Congress to enact long-term, comprehensive clean energy legislation. We look forward to working with the Congress, to craft a comprehensive and effective policy blueprint for a self-sustaining clean energy infrastructure in the United States."

Two New Studies Document Natural Breast Cancer Fighters
(NaturalNews) A couple of words strike enormous fear in the hearts of countless women: breast cancer. And it's no wonder. American Cancer Society (ACS) statistics reveal it's the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. In fact, the ACS says a woman's chance of having invasive Breast Cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8 and her chance of dying from the disease is about 1 in 35. However, there is a growing body of scientific evidence that natural substances are formidable weapons to both prevent Breast Cancer and halt its growth once cells are malignant. In fact, two new studies offer even more proof there are natural ways to fight breast cancer.
In research just published in the journal Crop Science, Colorado State University scientists studied the anti-cancer activity of six kinds of dry legumes: small red, great northern, navy, black, dark red and white kidney beans. Working with laboratory animals, they evaluated how the consumption of beans was related to breast, or mammary, cancer. The results? Consumption of every kind of bean reduced the incidence of cancer and tumor in the animals compared to the control group.
The rate of cancer was reduced significantly, from 95% in the control group to 67% in animals fed beans, and the average number of malignant tumors fell from 3.2 in the control group to 1.4 tumors per animal in the bean-fed group. In a statement for the media, the researchers noted that studies are ongoing at Colorado State University to investigate the mechanisms and molecules that contribute to these anticancer properties of legumes. In addition, clinical trials are also underway to find out if beans in the diets of humans have an impact on cancer incidence.
There's also good news about vitamin D and breast cancer. The vitamin already has been shown in hundreds of studies to have breast cancer-fighting properties and increased serum levels of the vitamin are associated with an improved diagnosis in women with breast cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/025495.html). But now scientists at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)-New Jersey Medical School have discovered how calcitrol, the active form of vitamin D, halts the growth of breast cancer cells. The study is published in the February issue of The Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Researcher Sylvia Chistakos, Ph.D., a professor of biochemistry UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School, and colleague Puneet Dhawan, Ph.D., found calcitrol induces a tumor-suppressing protein that can stop the malignant cells in their tracks. "These results provide an important process in which the active form of vitamin D may work to reduce growth of breast cancer cells," Dr. Christakos said in a media statement.

***Personal note: My naturalist approach, were I to find out I had breast cancer would lead me 2 places with this article --
~the beans - I'd sprout them and either put on salads or in raw marinated veggie dishes, add the sprouts (beans and all) to green smoothies. Raw, you receive even MORE of the nutritional value.

(NaturalNews) Is it possible that wearing a bra can actually cause cancer? Studies show that this is a very real possibility. The reason is that regularly wearing a bra prevents lymph drainage and circulation, which can greatly increase the possibility of developing breast cancer.
The lymphatic and circulatory systems are responsible for both delivering vital nutrients and clearing out toxins. When the body does not have access to nutrients or when it is under the attack of toxins, cancer may develop.
A study published in the European Journal of Cancer studied factors for Breast Cancer such as breast size and handedness. They discovered that premenopausal women who do not wear bras are less than half as likely to get Breast Cancer that those who regularly wear a bra. A study conducted by researcher David Moth revealed that even the lightest bras place pressure on the lymphatic system.
Other research published in Chronobiology International in 2000 discovered that regular bra wearing decreases the production of melatonin, which is a potent natural antioxidant and the hormone that regulates sleep, boosts the immune system and, incredibly fights aging. Balanced melatonin levels are essential for the body to fight many types of cancer, including breast cancer.
Researchers Singer and Grismaijer observed 4,500 women and their bra wearing practices. An amazing 3 out of 4 women who wore their bras 24 hours per day developed breast cancer. Women who wore their bras more than 12 hours per day had a 1 in 7 chance of getting breast cancer. 1 out 152 women who wore their bra less than 12 hours a day got Breast Cancer and an incredibly low 1 out of 168 women who rarely or never wear a bra developed breast cancer.
These same researchers studied the indigenous populations of New Zealand and Australia. The Maoris, who are indigenous to New Zealand, are basically fully integrated into mainstream New Zealand life and interestingly have the same chances of developing breast cancer. The aboriginals of Australia on the other hand have not integrated into regular western society and do not regularly wear bras, and have practically no breast cancer. Japanese, Fijians, and many women from other cultures were found to have a significantly higher chance of developing breast cancer when they began wearing bras.
It may be interesting to note that a very small proportion of men do develop breast cancer, exactly the same amount as women who go braless!

Bras Shown to Cause Cancer

(NaturalNews) Evidence continues to emerge that artificial colors cause hyperactivity in children, but the FDA remains resistant to taking action. The
agency will hold public hearings on the issue from March 30-31.
Artificial colors made from coal tar or petroleum were first developed in the 1850s, and nearly 200 were being used in consumer products by the time the
U.S. government began regulating these additives in the 1960s. After safety testing, only nine colors remained cleared for use. Yet as early as the 1970s,
researchers were raising concerns that the colors might cause hyperactivity. In 2004, a groundbreaking study in The Lancet provided such strong
evidence for this link that the British Food Standards Agency recommended that parents reduce or eliminate artificial colors from their children's' diets.
The European Parliament has since voted to ban the colorings from foods intended for small children and infants, and requires a warning label on all other
products containing them. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has called on the FDA to follow suit, or even ban the colors outright.
"What's the benefit? To make junk food even more appealing to children than it already is?" CSPI Executive Director Michael Jacobson said.
Artificial colors are largely used to restore color to foods rendered pale and unappealing-looking by industrial processing, or to make them brighter or
give them specific colors for marketing purposes.
"I don't think the dyes are good for anything," said Stanford University pediatrics professor Alan Greene, a signatory of the CSPI petition. "The only
benefit is to trick you into eating the food or to make it look healthier than it is."
Michael Pollen echoes this sentiment in his book In Defense of Food.
"One of the problems with the products of food Science is that, as Joan Gussow has pointed out, they lie to your body," he writes. "Their artificial colors and flavors and synthetic sweeteners and novel fats confound the senses
we rely on to assess new foods and prepare our bodies to deal with them. Foods that lie leave us with little choice but to eat by the numbers, consulting
labels rather than our senses."
Although natural food colors exist, they are nearly always more expensive than the coal- and
petroleum-based colors.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder diagnosed in children, and its prevalence is growing. Between 2003 and 2007, there was a 22% increase in ADHD prevalence in the United States - today, about 9.5% of school-age children have ADHD.1
ADHD is characterized by restlessness, difficulty focusing, poor impulse control, distractibility, and in some cases overactivity; plus these symptoms have significant negative consequences on the childs academic performance, social skills, and relationships with family members, teachers, and peers. In addition, ADHD is often accompanied by learning disorders, discipline problems, anxiety, and/or depression.
ADHD is a complex disorder of the brain, believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.Smoking and alcohol use during pregnancy, micronutrient deficiencies, excessive television watching early in life, and inadequate omega-3 fatty acid intake are a few of the environmental factors that increase risk.">Nutrition and ADHD
Poor nutrition is a significant concern for attentional problems and ADHD; there are a number of dietary factors that have been linked to ADHD risk in scientific studies:

(NaturalNews) Children who exhibit Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) symptoms do not necessarily have ADD or ADHD. Those children have symptoms, but not necessarily the correct diagnosis. In addition, many children are placed on medications for ADD and ADHD symptoms. In fact, one report states that 1 in 10 children are diagnosed with ADHD and that 2.7 million children are medicated for the disorder. People need to be willing to look at the true causes of the symptoms, and it is beneficial to look at alternative solutions.
Children who are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD tend to be hyperactive, disengaged in school, disruptive at home and/or in school and fidgety, and they many times complete low quality school work. The tendency in the American society is to place children on medication to resolve the problem. Medications cover up the problem, just as an ibuprofen covers up aches and pains. The medication effects are temporary. Also, the child can acclimate to the medication so that it is no longer as effective at covering up the symptoms. Parents need to look at the true cause behind these symptoms.
One cause that is common is refined sugar. Refined Sugar becomes toxic to the body. For many children, it causes a toxic reaction in the brain and the body. The child can react to it by acting hyper, showing lack of focus, and by being argumentative. Unfortunately, refined Sugar is found in many processed foods. Sugar is also highly addictive.
Dr. Martin, with www.globalhealingcenter.com, stated that sugar is poison. He continued to state that "sugar is poison because of the way the body metabolizes it. The sugar interferes with the respiration of the cells. They cannot get sufficient oxygen to survive and function normally. In time, some of the cells die. This interferes with the function of a part of the body and is the beginning of degenerative disease." Excess sugar will interfere in the child's cognitive function and in his or her behavior in the classroom, at home, and with peers.
When one is searching for reasons for ADD or ADHD symptoms, boredom in the classroom is another key area on which to focus. Many times, children who are showing difficulty in focusing their attention are simply bored. The material may have no meaning for the child, and the child may feel no connection to the teacher teaching the material. It can become quite easy for the child to divert his or her attention elsewhere. If a child can play a video game, watch a movie, or otherwise engage in activities that the child enjoys, then he or she does not have ADHD or ADD.
Life Energy Flow Tai Yi can assist with uncovering the cause of ADD and ADHD symptoms. Tai Yi is an ancient form of Chinese hands-on energy work that can be described as similar to acupuncture or acupressure. Tai Yi works with the meridians of the mind, body, and emotions. Sugar is one of the reasons behind ADHD symptoms. If a person has formed an addiction to sugar, a treatment titled Sugar Dragon would benefit the person. Sugar Dragon can assist the person to release a sugar addiction and to understand why he or she carries the addiction.
There are over 4,000 treatments in Tai Yi, many of which assist in removing toxins absorbed from the environment. Releasing toxins can assist a child in feeling better. It can also assist in improving his or her ability to focus and engage productively in the classroom and at home. However, there is not a Tai Yi treatment for boredom.

More news on ADHD
(NaturalNews) The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently surveyed 73,000 children and found one in 10 has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD). This is a 22% increase since 2003. Research has shown that toxic and deficient lifestyle patterns are the chief contributing factor for
this disorder. Natural lifestyle solutions can prevent and reverse ADHD.
Many researchers consider chronic ADHD symptoms a sign of mild-moderate brain damage. When regions of the brain are chronically inflamed it signals the
primitive regions of the brain to be on overdrive. This inhibits frontal lobe function which is the region responsible for concentration and emotional
stability. The primitive regions on overdrive include the reticular activating system and limbic system. When this primitive brain is imbalanced it leads
to poor concentration and emotional outbursts.
ADHD is commonly caused by an inflammatory based diet and toxic food additives . These food additive chemicals are mild-moderately neurotoxic. They also
have a strong synergistic effect when combined with sugars such as fructose. A recent Lancet study concluded that food dyes along with the preservative
sodium benzoate (found in many soft drinks, fruit juices, & salad dressings) cause many children to become significantly more hyperactive and
distractible. This study also found that food additives and dyes can do as much damage to children's brains as lead in gasoline.
Digestive problems can also dramatically affect brain function and development. A common factor with
is a weak intestinal system and food allergies . Often times a Candida infection is present and producing brain damaging toxic metabolites. It is wise to
address the gut and allow it to heal by avoiding allergens and supplementing with high quality Probiotics.
The most common
allergens to avoid include all pasteurized dairy products and gluten containing grains such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, kamut, & spelt. Soy products,
some nuts, eggs, and heavy proteins are often not tolerated well. Other allergens include those of the nightshade family such as eggplant, tomatoes, &
potatoes.
An anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle are critical for full recovery from this condition. Anti-inflammatory foods help to modulate the immune system and
give it a more accurate pair of eyes so as to not over-inflame when stimulated. To effectively de-inflame it is key to completely avoid man-made foods,
sugars, and food allergens as listed above. The long chain omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are critical for
function.
Healthy movement patterns produce proprioception (movement information) which is a critical essential for healthy brain enhancing and neurodevelopmental
patterns. Boosting proprioceptive input through good posture and spinal function is critical for healthy brain development. Regular chiropractic care along
with spinal hygiene exercises are essential lifestyle factors for healthy neurological function.
Children, teenagers, & adults with ADHD symptoms do very well with a regular exercise program that incorporates core stability and functional balance
training. Many hyperactive kids are naturally drawn to activities such as rebounding and jumping on a trampoline as well as balance sports such as skating,
surfing and snowboarding. All of these dynamic balance based activities powerfully enhance proprioceptive input into the brain.
Other critical nutrients that are key for brain function include Vitamin D, Folic acid, Pyridoxine (B6), Vitamin B12, Zinc, CoQ10, and trace minerals.
Vitamin D levels should be between 60-100 ng/ml. Boost Vitamin D naturally with 20-60 minutes of healthy sunlight every day or 5,000-50,000 IU of
emulsified vitamin D3 daily to get the levels where they should be. A raw, whole-food multi-vitamin that supplies ample amounts of folic acid (400 mcg), B6
(4mg), B12(100 mcg), Zinc (15 mg), trace minerals, & CoQ10 (500 mcg) should be consumed daily.
