Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can respond to a diet change

Williams D

"Dr. David Williams recommends avoiding sugar and high carbohydrate foods, as well as strengthening the adrenal glands with a product called Drenamin.  In some children, a thyroid imbalance may be contributing to ADD and/or ADHD.  If avoiding sugar and high carbohydrate foods and taking Drenamin does not cure the problem, Dr. Williams recommends taking thyroid glandular supplement Thytrophin and the liquid iodine supplement Iosol.

"Other considerations are different nutritional deficiencies.  The majority of Americans doesn't meet the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium, including children.  A deficiency of magnesium can present common psychiatric symptoms including depression, anxiety, restlessness, and irritability.  Depressed patients have been found to have lower levels of magnesium.  Several studies show that ADHD children are deficient in many common minerals, most often in magnesium, zinc, and iron, and that magnesium supplementation significantly decreases the hyperactivity symptoms in these children."

Thyroid Health

Williams D

“Based on the research I've seen and conducted over the past decade, there are three primary reasons for the growing number of people with an unbalanced thyroid: selenium deficiency, iodine deficiency, and estrogen-like compound pollution….

“Supplement with Iodine.  The most effective way to maintain thyroid gland function is to supply it with the proper iodine levels necessary for an increase in hormone production. Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland's production of the hormone thyroxin, which the thyroid uses to regulate numerous functions—most importantly metabolism.

“Note: Under no circumstances should you ingest antiseptic or topical iodine. Iodine food supplements are widely available. Start with four drops daily (dissolved in a large glass of water) for the first two weeks, and then reduce the dosage to two drops a day.

“Avoid Iodine-Blocking Foods.  Certain foods have a tendency to lower thyroid function and need to be avoided by people with underactive thyroids: soy (including tofu and soymilk), and raw forms of the following vegetables: turnips, mustard greens, broccoli, cabbage, rutabaga, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, cress, cauliflower, kale, and kohlrabi. Cooking these vegetables deactivates the iodine-blocking agent. Unfortunately, I don’t know of anything that does the same for the problem with soy.”
