Two parallel computers.

Our brain has two hemispheres, which are like two computers set in parallel.  If you have two "Pentium 5", you get double power.  But, if you've got a new "Pentium 5" on one side and an old "Commodore 64" on the other, you've got problems.  The old computer is not fast enough to keep up with the new one.  The system bugs.  That's what is happening in the ADHD brain.  The delayed hemisphere is weaker, which leads to communication problems within the brain resulting in symptoms of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.

ADHD Breakthrough.

An excerpt from the ENC Wellness Guide, by Dr. Lois Flemming

Picture two children playing with walkie-talkies.  The handsets, unfortunately are set on different frequencies.  The children yell and scream into the device, but their words are not coming through the speaker.  Now picture the children with the frequency fixed but they have not yet mastered mashing the button when talking.  Some words come through while others are lost.  The children can hear each other but not decipher what's being said.  Current research shows similar patterns happen in the brains of those with neurobehavioral disorders.  Different areas of the brain, specifically the two hemispheres, are unable to effective communicate with each other because of the delays in development.  Think of one hemisphere being the age of three while the other is thirteen.  The communication and activities of such brain will be spotty, disrupted, confused resulting in an inability to concentrate, feelings of frustration, poor body awareness and lack of control.
The great news is that these developmental delays are not permanent--they can be fixed!!

Parents of children who have completed three months of treatment describe the progress made as observed by themselves, and people around the child.

Name:  M.B.        Diagnosis:  Developmental Delay with Hyperactivity

M. has marked improvement in her coordination.  Eating times are now a true joy: she is calmer and no longer drops her cutlery.  She falls a lot less.  She has better control of her body and movements.  When she runs, she almost never falls anymore.

Name:  M.P.        Diagnosis:   ADHD and anxiety

Currently, M. is calmer, more composed and able to find resources to manage his anxiety and stress.  He has a better understanding of time, what he’s doing and what he still needs to do.  His teacher says that there is a marked reduction in his impulsivity and that his memory has greatly improved.  He is still a bit slow when he needs to get started.  But once he has, he now finishes what he starts.

Name:  F.B.         Diagnosis:  ADHD with oppositional and conduct disorder

We are very happy with our experience because the treatment has allowed us to markedly decrease his dose of Ritalin.    He still has some temper tantrums but this is also markedly improved.  He used to have 3 or 4 per day, now he has 4-5 per week.  They usually still happen at the end of the day when he is extremely tired.  He is more polite and since about 2 months into the program has not gotten into any fights in school.

Great news from a grandmother...

The grandmother of a Whole Child Wellness patient pulled us aside during a recent visit, visibly excited and wanting to share the progress she has seen in her grandson.  One of her greatest heartbreaks, she stated, was knowing he would always spend his lunch break at school alone, playing by himself during recess. With great excitement she announced that this year, he spends his recess playing with schoolmates.

Poor socialization skills, inability to recognize body language or visual cues, and inappropriate responses are all common symptoms of neurobehavioral disorders.  Balancing hemisphericity to improve communication between the right and left hemisphere of the brain, Whole Child Wellness graduates are better able to process information and respond appropriately.  Improved socialization skills are just one of the great side effects of the brain balancing programs.

12 Weeks to Permanent Correction

Many parents and medical professionals don't understand that ADHD can be corrected.  With 12 weeks of intensive effort, permanent changes can be made within the brain to correct (yes correct) the neurological dysfunctions causing the symptoms of ADHD.

What is so remarkable is that this change, created in this short period of time, can effect the outcome of the rest of their lives.
*The social stigma attached to kids with ADHD in school has a profound affect on self-esteem and self confidence.
*The statistics on drug use and jail time among young adults who have ADHD are startling.   
*Adults with ADHD continually struggle with job performance and personal relationships.

We challenge parents and medical professionals to make brain balancing the treatment of choice for ADHD.   Corrections in the brain can be made.  Future struggles can be avoided.  You have the opportunity to give our children a brighter future!
