Can you cure ADHD: Basic Overview

QUICK START GUIDE: How to Cure ADHD at Home If you’re new to the idea of treating ADHD naturally at home, this quick start guide will give you a basic overview of the material that we elaborate on in the remainder of this book. Though much of the content is written as though we are talking to parents of children with ADHD, these natural treatments can easily be used by adults with ADHD by adjusting to the adult dosage.  Core Supplements for Treating  ADHD Naturally At Home There are two core natural supplements that you might choose to use to treat ADHD without stimulants.

Herbal Remedies for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, RSV, Influenza, and Adenovirus Taken from Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Often, a child (or an adult) will come down with a fairly common type of infection like hand, foot, and mouth disease, influenza, or RSV and when the initial symptoms of disease pass, it seems like all is well.  Conventional medicine doctors might prescribe antibiotics or antiviral medications that relieve initial symptoms, but the fact is, there are a number of infectious diseases that are extremely debilitating to the body. These infections create weakness that can lead to more chronic types of illness.

Below are herbal remedies that a TCM practitioner migh...

ADHD Misdiagnoses: Can a strep infection cause ADHD?

Adults with ADHD as well as issues with addictive behaviors should take note as...

Understand the Life Cycle of Parasites for Self-Treatment At Home

Understanding the Life Cycle of Internal Parasites In this chapter, we’re going to discuss the life cycle of helminths and sporozoa as well as symptoms.  Helminth Life Cycles Helminths (parasitic worms) infect humans through life cycles that are remarkably complex. A single organism may pass through multiple distinct biological stages (eggs, larvae, adults), transition between soil or water and one or more living hosts, and navigate the internal geography of the human body with a specificity that continues to inform how we think about diagnosis and treatment. Infection can occur through ingestion of eggs or larvae in contaminated food or water, through direct skin penetration by larvae, or through the bite of a vector. Once inside the host, the journey typically involves intestinal matu...
