Would You Give Your Children Speed If They Were Fat?

I'm an ADD-Inattentive obese parent to the same type of ADD kid. She's been on Adderall for 5 years. She takes it for the ADD, not the obesity; but she did mention it curbs hunger and she appreciates that.   It hasn't helped her lose weight though.  She's, like I was, "addicted" to grains and dairy. The ADD is a manifestation of poor nutrition &/or nutritional absorption. People in the 50s were not eating the same as us now. Nor did they have the same info. re: ADD.

I think Dr. Mercola is right in figuring out your metabolic type. I was "carb sensitive" growing up; gained weight after puberty. And it turned out I had undiagnosed celiac disease: malabsorption due to an autoimmune response to gluten proteins in wheat, rye, barley & contaminated oats.

So how does one who doesn't know they're "carb" sensitive lose weight? How do you work through depression/chronic fatigue? I'm afraid I was one of those stooges who believed in the USDA food pyramid (why isn't there a Surgeon General's warning label on there for symptoms of celiac disease?! I'd like to sue them!) and mainstream doctors. I became pretty vegetarian "trying" to innately find diet solutions. I should have been eating meat and not the grains! I was anemic.   Grains can block absorption of iron!

Now that my brain has cleared from the fog and fatigue, I've learned more - and am trying to get her to give up gluten also. Even though she tests negative by blood and biopsy for celiac, she feels better on whole, real foods sans gluten, and not the junk out there in the "real" world. Imagine that!  No more "wholesome" organic wheat anything! You try going gluten free in today's grain-dairy-soy-corn laden society! Where is the drive up for organic food without THOSE?! I'm a busy mom, too!

Where can you start with a story like this. It seems that there are nothing but bad guys here . First the irrisponsible parents who feel that it is easier to have their child be given "speed " then to start some life style changes . Wait a minute have not they been programed by years of commercials that " there's a pill for every ill". The problem really is these parents are not that unusal. They went to an expert in the field and the expert advised this path. Not really bad guys more stooges to a broken system. The DR. I really expect that he should no better but again "the pill for every ill" mentality at work. The local medical board . They will look into it. Rigth after they investigate a really serious case of an MD using vitamins in his practice. The FDA well they will put out another warning sooner or latter or if enough people die they might even put the warning in a black box. The system is really fatally flawed driven more by profit than any real concern for health

If parents just started to pay attention to their kids, pay attention to what they are eating and drinking, encourage them to play more, encourage them to elimante foods and drink more water and on and on and on... this would not be an issue. If you do the research, there was no such things as ADD or ADHD back in the 50's, 60's and 70's. What are we creating?

I just wonder by whose standard was his diet a healthy one. The USDA food pyramid? Physically active according to today's definition, not according to the one we grew up with. Physically active meant doing something from the time you got home from school until you went to bed, with a supper break. And you usually went to bed when the sun went down.

This once again proves the reactive medical and pharmaceutical model is broken beyond repair, and cannot be trusted.

For those of you looking for a real honest product (that actually works with no allergenic or any bad side effects) that MAY assist in this area, as well as other health issues, that I formulated, using the moringa olifera plant, in a highly efficacious dosage and bioavailability, check out ZIJA at: www.drinklifein.com

Sad example of immediate reward with dire consequences.

As an Exercise Coach myself, I see an incredible benefit to my clients due to consistent strength training program. And I absolutely agree with Dr. Mercola that exercise needs to be treated just like a drug, it needs to be prescribed precisely. Exercise is a stressor and if use recklessly can cause more harm then good.

I personally never seen a better educated and passionate exercise practitioners then once trained by C.H.E.K Institute.
