When the nerves are calmed down ADHD children and adults are able to concentrate better ADHD or Attention Disorder Hyperactivity Deficit is a neurological problem that affects certain brain cells resulting in behavioral disorders. Disruptive behavior due to ADHD can lead to many complications at school for children at the same time affecting ADHD adults in a similar manner.

People with ADHD find it hard to concentrate on an activity and even if they do start an activity, they never complete it to the end. They are impulsive and react to things instantly without thinking of the consequences. Hyperactivity is also a major symptom of ADHD and is more of a problem for school-going children.

There are various medications that are prescribed by doctors for ADHD, but most of these are very strong and can cause severe reactions. As these are used to suppress the nerves, they can render a person lifeless and slow. Apart from this, these medicines only provide temporary relief and cease to work once they are stopped. It is therefore regarded that natural remedies be used, along with a proper and balanced diet and psychological therapies.

These can considerably control ADHD and also protect young children from harmful side effects such as underdeveloped growth and chances of developing other mental deformities. and do not act impulsively. Similarly Bach flower therapy decreases hyperactivity and the child becomes controllable and is more attentive when being talked to and is also able to retain what has been said.

As Bach flower therapy is a purely natural remedy it has absolutely no side effects. It can also be taken with other regular medications without it interfering with them. Bach flower therapy is a valuable solution for children as ADHD requires long-term medication and it is not right to expose children to these harsh medicines for such long periods. Therefore, Bach flower therapy is highly recommended and can be safely used for as long as needed. Its efficiency is also long lasting and hence Bach flower therapy can be considered an effective ADHD treatment.

The symptoms of ADHD arise in childhood and are noticeable only after the age of seven. However, the disorder continues even in adulthood, making it difficult for a person to have proper control over his or her mind. This mental condition is far more prevalent in boys than it is in girls often making it difficult to distinguish between hyperactivity and normal activeness that is commonly seen in boys. This disease or mental illness is not incurable, but it is better to use natural remedies and psychotherapy as a cure for ADHD, instead of medicines bought over the counter.

The prescribed medications, which are generally nerve stimulants, can be very strong and produce grave side effects and must be avoided as much as possible. Bach flower therapy is a highly recommended natural treatment for ADHD that has been used for more than seven decades. It is purely a natural remedy, as extracts derived from flowers constitute the Bach flower therapy. In Bach flower therapy, essences are drawn out from flowers with therapeutic qualities and stored in a brandy solution and can be taken with or without water.

Bach flower therapy has helped many ADHD patients focus better on activities and pay better attention to what is being said or done. It has been observed that those on Bach flower therapy show more improvements than those taking the standard ADHD medications. Apart from this Bach flower therapy does not cause any reactions while allopathic ADHD medicines produce side effects such as mental retardation and stunted growth.

Thirty-eight flower extracts, which form a part of the Bach flower therapy, are used in combination with one another to cure various mental conditions, which includes ADHD. Bach flower therapy can be continued along with other medications without complication. ADHD is a serious problem and must not be ignored. It is important to treat the problem, as soon as it is diagnosed, but when we consider the side effects of regular ADHD medicines, we realize how Bach flower therapy is a better treatment for it. It is safer to go for Bach flower therapy, which has long lasting effects rather than using the regular medicines that provide only temporary relief.

Apart from these ADHD symptoms that can be easily noticed, there are some latent symptoms that are not quickly taken into account such as lethargy, inactivity and idleness. These are only dismissed as laziness, but in fact these could also be symptoms of ADHD. Whatever be the level or type of illness, it is important that it be cured and stopped from growing further. Similarly with ADHD, it is essential that be treated, as it can cause great drawbacks in a person’s life especially if it concerns hyperactivity, lack of concentration and impulsive behavior.

Impulsive reactions can cause ADHD people to take the wrong decisions, make inappropriate moves and say the wrong things and hyperactivity can make one quite irritable and fidgety while a lack of concentration hinders all activities and weakens performance. As such both children and adults who suffer from ADHD find themselves behind others be it studies at school or meeting job requirements. Bach flower therapy has proved to be a significant cure for ADHD, as it has the ability to soothe the nerves and suppress emotional stress.

Bach flower therapy uses extracts of various flowers to produce a cure for several kinds of disorders. It is a natural remedy that has substantially helped people who suffer severe emotional upheavals. Bach flower therapy may make use of one or more Bach flower essences to treat a symptom. This form of cure is being widely used for reducing hyperactivity in children and improving their level of concentration on their schoolwork and other activities including games.

The use of Bach flower therapy has also produced great results for ADHD adults who have had to face setbacks due to their impulsive behavior or inability to concentrate on their work. These ADHD people have seen a considerable improvement in their concentration level and have noticed a definite progress in their work. Bach flower therapy is safe for use and can also be taken along with other medications that the person might be taking on a regular basis. Bach flower therapy does not cause any side effects whatsoever, making it safe even for children to use these flower essences without worry. ADHD may not have a permanent cure but it does have Bach flower therapy to help reduce and control the disorder from spreading further.

They get frustrated easily, are fidgety and are highly restless. The level of hyperactivity may not be the same in ADHD adults, but you can notice their restlessness in their constant movement of hands and the abruptness with which they speak. Whatever be their age, such people are slow in their work and are incapable of keeping up with the rest of their classmates or colleagues.

ADHD is not easily diagnosed, as it can be found in various levels in different people and hence may take several months to diagnose. It may not always refer to a hyperactive person because a listless and inactive person could also be suffering from a certain level of ADHD. Therefore a closer observation of the behavioral pattern of the person is made before he or she can be diagnosed as suffering from ADHD.

As the symptoms of this mental condition are so varied, it is always advisable to consult a specialist. One of the best cures that have shown some remarkable improvements in ADHD patients is the use of ADHD Bach Flower therapy. Over the decades Bach flower therapy has proven that it can considerably subdue the symptoms of ADHD and has successfully been used as a remedy for both children as well as adults. Bach flower extracts have been used to suppress emotional disorders, reduce depression, stress, hyperactivity and control fear and negative thoughts. Bach flower therapy helps improve concentration so that those suffering from ADHD find it easier to focus on their work. As it is a natural remedy, it is safe for use and does not cause any side effects. There are various Bach flower essences that are used for different states of emotion, each of which is effective for that particular symptom. Today Bach flower therapy is being widely used for ADHD with satisfied users giving testimony to its effectiveness.

School-going ADHD children are distractive, unable to concentrate on their studies and fail to complete a task along with the other children in class. They get frustrated easily, are fidgety and are highly restless. The level of hyperactivity may not be the same in ADHD adults, but you can notice their restlessness in their constant movement of hands and the abruptness with which they speak. Whatever be their age, such people are slow in their work and are incapable of keeping up with the rest of their classmates or colleagues.

The 38 flower remedies were composed to treat emotional problems like fear, anxiety, hyper- action, lack of concentration, disinterest and uncertainty. Bach remedies have medication for each of these which is made completely naturally thus giving no harm to the body. The Bach practitioners prescribe doses and the medicine for any of these problems. The applications are administered though eye dropper from a bottle which contains the mixture.  It has to be taken four times a day and six drops each time with tea, coffee, juice or water.

Bach flower has turned out to be an effective treatment for ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This is a chronic disease which needs medication and therapy for an extended period of time. This problem more than physically harms the person mentally and emotionally leading to hyperactivity, impulsiveness and inattentiveness. It becomes serious when the patient is not able to interact socially and has serious attention problem in school, as children are one who is most afflicted by the disease.

As the disease came into light there have been number of drugs prescribed by the physicians which bring relief to the patients. But these drugs are strong and have number of side effects. More and more people prefer to give homeopathic or herbal remedies to their children to have control over the problems.

In this regard Bach flower has proven to be quite effective. Many parents have found definite improvement in their child’s behavior once they had started with the treatment. After a period of time the child starts showing improvement and if continued the child may be completely cured. The hyperactivity and impulsiveness remains in control and the mixture soothes the nerves and brings tranquility.

No need to get upset and no need to think that your child is a special case. There are millions of children in the world who show such syndromes. In scientific language it is known as ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The basic symptoms are inattention, being impulsive and fidgety behavior. There are number of levels of ADHD and all children do not have all the syndromes. Dyslexia is often a part of ADHD. Sometimes you will find that a hyperactive child with a behavioral disorder is highly intelligent. Many times they may be dyslexic but have special gifts in music or painting.

Identify the problem

The main thing is to identify the problem. No parent likes to think that their child has a problem so they keep ignoring the symptoms. It is best to take an ADHD test to find out if the child is actually suffering from the behavioral disturbance. Some parents are totally ignorant that such problem exists and the child grows up with the problem as a part of his/her life. These men and women find it very difficult to adjust to their jobs or their family life.

Recognizing ADHD symptom at an early age would surely be helpful. There are various cures which are available today. Ritalin is a well known drug which modifies behavior. Then there is Srattera and some anti depressants to control behavior. While these drugs do help in the long run they have serious side effects like getting addicted to amphetamine drugs. These drugs help to control but not cure.

ADHD cures and Bach flowers

The best would be natural methods. The parents and understanding teachers can do much to control the behavior of the child. They can divert the hyperactivity and give special attention and establish a behavior pattern which the child can follow and get used to. There are also homeopathic remedies.

Bach flower remedy is something novel and is totally free of side effect. These are extracts from flowers which influence our emotions. As they have been discovered by Dr. Edward Bach they are known as Bach flower. The flower extracts have been known to bring considerable improvement in ADHD symptom as the flower essences have capacity to divert negative emotions to positive. It cures not only ADHD but other emotional problems as well. They come in bottles which last for one month. Ideally it should be taken six times a day and four drops each time. If your child refuses to take it directly you can mix it with the food or water or milk. It has been seen that Bach flower extracts taken for three months has shown great results.  

A warning that the new swine flu jab is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.

The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine.

GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.

The letter, sent to about 600 neurologists on July 29, is the first sign that there is concern at the highest levels that the vaccine itself could cause serious complications.

It refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:

• More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu.
• 500 cases of GBS were detected.
•  The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times.
• The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear.
• The US Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected.

Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown.

It is being developed by pharmaceutical companies and will be given to about 13million people during the first wave of immunisation, expected to start in October.

Top priority will be given to everyone aged six months to 65 with an underlying health problem, pregnant women and health professionals.

The British Neurological Surveillance Unit (BNSU), part of the British Association of Neurologists, has been asked to monitor closely any cases of GBS as the vaccine is rolled out.

One senior neurologist said last night: ‘I would not have the swine
flu jab because of the GBS risk.’

There are concerns that there could be a repeat of what became known as the ‘1976 debacle’ in the US, where a swine flu vaccine killed 25 people – more than the virus itself.

A mass vaccination was given the go-ahead by President Gerald Ford because scientists believed that the swine flu strain was similar to the one responsible for the 1918-19 pandemic, which killed half a million Americans and 20million people worldwide.

The swine flu vaccine being offered to children has not been tested on infants

Within days, symptoms of GBS were reported among those who had been immunised and 25 people died from respiratory failure after severe paralysis. One in 80,000 people came down with the condition. In contrast, just one person died of swine flu.

More than 40million Americans had received the vaccine by the time the programme was stopped after ten weeks. The US Government paid out millions of dollars in compensation to those affected.

The swine flu virus in the new vaccine is a slightly different strain from the 1976 virus, but the possibility of an increased incidence of GBS remains a concern.

Shadow health spokesman Mike Penning said last night: ‘The last thing we want is secret letters handed around experts within the NHS. We need a vaccine but we also need to know about potential risks.

‘Our job is to make sure that the public knows what’s going on. Why
is the Government not being open about this? It’s also very worrying if GPs, who will be administering the vaccine, aren’t being warned.’

Two letters were posted together to neurologists advising them of the concerns. The first, dated July 29, was written by Professor Elizabeth Miller, head of the HPA’s Immunisation Department.

It says: ‘The vaccines used to combat an expected swine influenza pandemic in 1976 were shown to be associated with GBS and were withdrawn from use.

‘GBS has been identified as a condition needing enhanced surveillance when the swine flu vaccines are rolled out.

‘Reporting every case of GBS irrespective of vaccination or disease history is essential for conducting robust epidemiological analyses capable of identifying whether there is an increased risk of GBS in defined time periods after vaccination, or after influenza itself, compared with the background risk.’

The second letter, dated July 27, is from the Association of British Neurologists and is written by Dr Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, chair of its surveillance unit, and Professor Patrick Chinnery, chair of its clinical research committee.

t says: ‘Traditionally, the BNSU has monitored rare diseases for long periods of time. However, the swine influenza (H1N1) pandemic has overtaken us and we need every member’s involvement with a new BNSU survey of Guillain-Barre Syndrome that will start on August 1 and run for approximately nine months.

‘Following the 1976 programme of vaccination against swine influenza in the US, a retrospective study found a possible eight-fold increase in the incidence of GBS.

‘Active prospective ascertainment of every case of GBS in the UK is required. Please tell BNSU about every case.

‘You will have seen Press coverage describing the Government’s concern about releasing a vaccine of unknown safety.’

If there are signs of a rise in GBS after the vaccination programme begins, the Government could decide to halt it.

GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, leaving them unable to transmit signals to muscles effectively.

It can cause partial paralysis and mostly affects the hands and feet. In serious cases, patients need to be kept on a ventilator, but it can be fatal.

Death is caused by paralysis of the respiratory system, causing the victim to suffocate.
It is not known exactly what causes GBS and research on the subject has been inconclusive.

However, it is thought that one in a million people who have a seasonal flu vaccination could be at risk and it has also been linked to people recovering from a bout of flu of any sort.

The HPA said it was part of the Government’s pandemic plan to monitor GBS cases in the event of a mass vaccination campaign, regardless of the strain of flu involved.
But vaccine experts warned that the letters proved the programme was a ‘guinea-pig trial’.

Dr Tom Jefferson, co-ordinator of the vaccines section of the influential Cochrane Collaboration, an independent group that reviews research, said: ‘New vaccines never behave in the way you expect them to. It may be that there is a link to GBS, which is certainly not something I would wish on anybody.

‘But it could end up being anything because one of the additives in one of the vaccines is a substance called squalene, and none of the studies we’ve extracted have any research on it at all.’

He said squalene, a naturally occurring enzyme, could potentially cause so-far-undiscovered side effects.

Jackie Fletcher, founder of vaccine support group Jabs, said: ‘The Government would not be anticipating this if they didn’t think there was a connection. What we’ve got is a massive guinea-pig trial.’

Professor Chinnery said: ‘During the last swine flu pandemic, it was observed that there was an increased frequency of cases of GBS. No one knows whether it was the virus or the vaccine that caused this.

‘The purpose of the survey is for us to assess rapidly whether there is an increase in the frequency of GBS when the vaccine is released in the UK. It also increases consultants’ awareness of the condition.

Panic over? The number of swine flu cases has fallen sharply in the past few weeks

‘This is a belt-and-braces approach to safety and is not something people should be substantially worried about as it’s a rare condition.’

If neurologists do identify a case of GBS, it will be logged on a central database.

Details about patients, including blood samples, will be collected and monitored by the HPA.

It is hoped this will help scientists establish why some people develop the condition and whether it is directly related to the vaccine.

But some question why there needs to be a vaccine, given the risks. Dr Richard Halvorsen, author of The Truth About Vaccines, said: ‘For people with serious underlying health problems, the risk of dying from swine flu is probably greater than the risk of side effects from the vaccine.

‘But it would be tragic if we repeated the US example and ended up with more casualties from the jabs.

‘I applaud the Government for recognising the risk but in most cases this is a mild virus which needs a few days in bed. I’d question why we need a vaccine at all.’

Professor Miller at the HPA said: ‘This monitoring system activates pandemic plans that have been in place for a number of years. We’ll be able to get information on whether a patient has had a prior influenza illness and will look at whether influenza itself is linked to GBS.

‘We are not expecting a link to the vaccine but a link to disease, which would make having the vaccine even more important.’

The UK’s medicines watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, is already monitoring reported side effects from Tamiflu and Relenza and it is set to extend that surveillance to the vaccine.

A Department of Health spokesperson said: ‘The European Medicines Agency has strict processes in place for licensing pandemic vaccines.

‘In preparing for a pandemic, appropriate trials to assess safety and the immune responses have been carried out on vaccines very similar to the swine flu vaccine. The vaccines have been shown to have a good safety profile.

‘It is extremely irresponsible to suggest that the UK would use a vaccine without careful consideration of safety issues. The UK has one of the most successful immunisation programmes in the world.’

I COULDN''T EAT OR SPEAK... IT WAS HORRENDOUS

Victim: Hilary Wilkinson spent three months in hospital after she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome
When Hilary Wilkinson woke up with muscle weakness in her left arm and difficulty breathing, doctors initially put it down to a stroke.

But within hours, she was on a ventilator in intensive care after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

She spent three months in hospital and had to learn how to talk and walk again. But at times, when she was being fed through a drip and needed a tracheotomy just to breathe, she doubted whether she would survive.

The mother of two, 57, from Maryport, Cumbria, had been in good health until she developed a chest infection in March 2006. She gradually became so weak she could not walk downstairs.

Doctors did not diagnose Guillain-Barre until her condition worsened in hospital and tests showed her reflexes slowing down. It is impossible for doctors to know how she contracted the disorder, although it is thought to be linked to some infections.

Mrs Wilkinson said: ‘It was very scary. I couldn’t eat and I couldn’t speak. My arms and feet had no strength and breathing was hard.

I was treated with immunoglobulin, which are proteins found in blood, to stop damage to my nerves. After ten days, I still couldn’t speak and had to mime to nurses or my family.

‘It was absolutely horrendous and I had no idea whether I would get through it. You reach very dark moments at such times and wonder how long it can last.

But I’m a very determined person and I had lots of support.’

After three weeks, she was transferred to a neurological ward, where she had an MRI scan and nerve tests to assess the extent of the damage.

Still unable to speak and in a wheelchair, Mrs Wilkinson eventually began gruelling physiotherapy to improve her muscle strength and movement but it was exhausting and painful.

Three years later, she is almost fully recovered. She can now walk for several miles at a time, has been abroad and carries out voluntary work for a GBS Support Group helpline.

She said: ‘It makes me feel wary that the Government is rolling out this vaccine without any clear idea of the GBS risk, if any. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone and it certainly changed my life.

‘I’m frightened to have the swine flu vaccine if this might happen again – it’s a frightening illness and I think more research needs to be done on the effect of the vaccine.’

Hotline staff given access to confidential records

Confidential NHS staff records and disciplinary complaints could be accessed by hundreds of workers manning the Government’s special swine flu hotline.

They were able to browse through a database of emails containing doctors’ and nurses’ National Insurance numbers, home addresses, dates of birth, mobile phone numbers and scanned passport pages – all details that could be used fraudulently.

And private and confidential complaints sent by hospitals about temporary medical staff – some of whom were named – were also made available to the call-centre workers, who were given a special password to log in to an internal NHS website.

It could be a breach of the Data Protection Act.

The hotline staff work for NHS Professionals, which was set up using taxpayers’ money to employ temporary medical and administrative staff for the health service.

The not-for-profit company runs two of the Government’s swine flu call centres – with 300 staff in Farnborough, Hampshire, and 900 in Watford, Hertfordshire.

Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley described the revelations as ‘disturbing’.

Anne Mitchell, a spokeswoman for Unison, said: ‘There’s no excuse for such a fundamental breach of personal security. Action needs to be taken as soon as possible to make sure this does not happen again.’

A spokeswoman for NHS Professionals would not confirm whether access to the confidential files had been granted.

Here are some of the exercises carried out during yoga for the increase of your Height:

1. Stretching maintenance: It is one of the most salutary to increase your Height. Tadasan is most useful stretching exercise carried out in the yoga which increases your height. It stretches the muscles of the body and gives internally to your body oxygen it requires to function correctly. It affects not only the height regularizes but the system of the body.

2. Surya Namaskar- this is another maintenance where in, you stand straight with the stretched body and the hands joined together high in the air. You will have to be stand on a leg as another leg will touch the right one. Hold this position of for as long as you can with inhaling air inside and outside.

You must maintain a good posture if you really wish to see the advantages of yoga for the increasing height. Some other postures are standing, sitting, reversed being and to balance. Surya namaskar is the example of balance of posture. In all these your body must be straight and suitable breathing is necessary. No result would be there if you don't have balance and breathe correctly.

Other than yoga for the increasing height, the bar hanging, playing the basketball, jumping etc are some other exercises which can be carried out to get your height. There are some supplements too which are available on the market for the same thing but it would be better if you consult your doctor before taking them. One can also go for the surgery of extension as it is considered very sure and the results were positive in cases more of 95%.
