Seeking Conversation About Alternative Health, Along with ADD and ADHD Issues

Hi D.,

I wrote a book just for people like you who are interested in getting healthier, but do not know how. It takes only four hours to read and is the compilation of hundreds of books I have read on how our food and lifestyle are related to our health issues. There are five phases to make it easy to do and tear-out shopping lists to take to the store so you can remember what to buy. It also contains lists of products I have tested and enjoyed, so you save time and money while you figure out what products you and your family like. It is called "Shopper's Guide to Healthy Living and is available on amazon.com. I think you will love it!

I would love to share some info with you when I get a little more time. I have controlled my son's ADD completely with diet. I have done a litte research on the plastic issue. I found some great perfect size glass water bottles for my kids - even a good size for my 2 yr old to hold at the world market. (check out VOSS water bottles). As far as finding a good baby bottle - I have not yet - I am sure there has got to bo some good ones somewhere. Avoid all number 7 plastic bottles as they are cosidered the worst culprit. Unfortunately the health market has not caught onto that one yet and i noticed in most of the health food stores thier water containers ARE number 7's - yikes!

I have attended seminars, read contless books and articles, and interviewed many in the past 4 years. i have most of my family off artificial colors, flavors, hydrogenated oils, corn, pasterized dairy, wheat, and absolutely no refined sugars. I get the meat we eat from farmers who raise grass fed animals and do not inject or grain feed them. My son was quite severe ADD by preschool age, and I myself had adult ADD. When we follow the diet we have absolutely no symptoms or problems. It is obvious when my son has a dietary mistake by his behavior. Also though - my son is a long story that iw ould love to share with you - by age 3 he had 3 major autoimmune diseases (chrones, diabetes, universal reactor to most foods and many plants, asthma, chronic sinusitis and ear infections.) I witnessed many miracles as I changed his diet. I am happy to say that he has not had any steroids or antibiotics since age 4 (he is now 9) and no longer has asthma, diabetes (type 2 of course), no sinus or ear problems, and allergies are now minimal. I myslef have stopped having chronic migraines, unexplained stomach pain, joint pain, and fatigue. i could go on - let me know if and what details you are interested in. Good luck to you and your health!

Have you looked into "tapping"? It is very interesting and works really well!

Below is a link to a recent Newsweek article and a USA Today article, that makes for interesting and educational reading for you and your loved ones.. You might consider giving this to everyone you know who uses plastic baby bottles & sippy cups:

no. but i do lean toward naturalistic ideas. i feel if we eat less processed foods and more from our gardens we will have healthier lives.

I don't know much about the plastic issue, but I do know about autoImmune disorders and ADD/ADHD, through alternative sources.

Do you like chocolate?! If you do, I have a delicious healthy chocolate that is helping so many people!! This chocolate is pure unprocessed cocoa, which is the #1 antioxidant in the world! It also has the acai berry, which is the #2 antioxidant in the world! There are no added sugars, fats, waxes or fillers in this chocolate. It is considered a whole food (organic). Because of the anit-inflammatory properties, it is helping people with all types of autoimmune disorders. It helps with your seratonin levels, which is helping people with depression and all types of mental issues (such as ADD and ADHD). I would love to talk to you more about this, send you information & samples. It will be worth your time, I promise!
You can get info on my website at www.ExcitedAboutHealthyChocolate.com. I look forward to talking with you! D.

I highly recommend Utah Natural Medicine. They have been amazing with my autoimmune disorder, Graves Disease. I also have been using the Born Free brand of bottles. We love them. I got them at babies r us. Best wishes

Only enough to have switched to glass and bisphenol-A free bottles for baby #4. The others, well... I did primarily breast feed, but they got their fair share of warmed bottles. And, we washed them in the dishwasher.

We currently only use glass in our microwave. The amount of VOC released inside there is alarming with plastic!

I've know a lot of people that have said that Xango has helped...especially with the immune system. Check out this site:

My husband and I own a natural health and allergy center. We use Asyra technology (AT3) and BioSET. Their websites are asyra.com and bioset.net. There's great info about both systems on their respective websites. Asyra and BioSET are both energy based. Both are effective with ADD, ADHD and auto-immune disorders.

I don't know much about the baby bottles but...my doaughter is ADHD and bipolar. The biggest thing that has helped her is eliminating artificial flavors and colors. She was also diagnosed with celiac disease. Getting rid of gluten was the biggest help. For me too. They have said for years that I have had several different autoimmune disorders but after 3 days on a gluten free diet I was a new person. Hope this helps.

Hi D.,

my name is J. fowlke and i have a son with adhd. We struggled for years until i found the solution. I also know people with autoimmune issues. Give me a call and i will tell you what i found to help! It has been a god send for our family as well for many of my friends. ###-###-####

There is a number at the bottom of each baby bottle, and even plastic water bottles that begins usually with the letter B. If the number is like B-1, -4, or i think - 3 its safe, but if the numbers are totally different than any of those, your supposed to discard the whole thing. Researchers have found that even purified water bottles also carry these numbers. Their finding that water in the bottles with the different numbers may increase the risk of certain types of cancer, and if found in baby bottles, can increase the risk of ADD or ADHD. My mother showed me the newspaper article, from 2 weeks ago. I think if you go to the library and ask for newspapers from 2 weeks ago, they might be able to get you that information. I would just take caution, go through all of your baby bottles, and even if you buy the water in plastic bottles, look at the numbers on the bottom. I'm pretty sure its B-1, B-4, B-3, and B-6. I was just getting ready to ask the same thing. I had lost that article but remembered the number part of it. My question is, What if the numbers are doubled? Example: B-11; is it still safe? I hope the above advice helps, and maybe we both can get some questions answered. GOOD QUESTION!!!

You know how when you start to notice all of the toxins and impurities going into our bodies they really start to add up. I've started replacing toxic materials with those that aren't harmful and I've started cleansing and nourishing my body using Isagenix. It's a cleansing program that removes toxins from the cells and feeds the cells at the same time. Isagenix is the world leader in nutritional cleansing. Here's my website livewire.isagenix.com Watch the short (8 min) video called "Are you toxic" on the home page and let me know if you'd like to purchase anything at my cost... I can show you how.

Hi D.,

Good for you for doing your research! You will find a ton of information out there. Some of it is good, some not so good. I would suggest joining a community (online or real life) of like-minded people so you can have more in-depth conversations than are possible on a board like this. I am a part of an attachment parenting/natural living group in northern Colorado called Mother's Circle. We have meetings, as well as an online Yahoo group. It's a great group of moms, and they are a wonderful resource for me. I found that there are so many things to worry about, that I tackle my lifestyle changes one at a time. This keeps me from getting too overwhelmed and giving up on making any changes!

We recently tackled the plastic issue, at least in my children's diet. Some plastics carry recycle codes on the bottom of them. (Many brands do not, which is disturbing to me that companies are not giving parent's the option of making an informed choice.) All plastics leach to one extent or another, so some people say to stay away from as many plastics as possible. This hasn't been realistic for my family. The particular codes that are known to leach harmful chemicals are 3, 6 and 7. We have removed these completely from our children's products. I'm still working on getting polycarbonate out of my own. If you google "safe plastic" or something along that line, you should get millions of websites to check out. If there is a particular brand of products you have questions about, you may be able to get an answer from the manufacturer. I have a chart that I got from Nuby, which has a picture of each item, and whether or not it contains BPA. Surprisingly, most of them did not, which was a relief for me.

Best,
S.

Try looking up online, eating right for your blood type. It talks about healing foods and foods to avoid. Awesome background on the whole history behind it. Juicing fresh vegetables and juice are good, people have been healed from cancer and other diseases. Up roughage, flax fiber, oat or rice bran. Eat lots of gluten free grains. Research also shows with a good positive attitude and praying increases chances of healing!
God bless!
