ADD or NDD: Attention Deficit Disorder or Nutrition Deficit Disorder?

Our son was diagnosed with ADD/OCD and a Childhood Panic/Anxiety Disorder when he was at the young age of 10.  We listened to our doctors, and understood that they reacted and prescribed medications based on their professional diagnosis and our angst in the struggle to help our son.  I urge anyone who has a child on medications such as Adderall, Ritalin, Prozac, Zoloft, Xanax, etc., to please come and hear this presentation.  Our son was medicated for three years---but now at 15 yrs. old is med-free!  Now, a freshmen in high school, he is enjoying his peers, doing very well in his classes---made the honor roll last semester!  Come and learn about natural solutions...a healthy diet, supplementation, and regular exercise is what our body needs to stay healthy!  Learn about how important a healthy digestive system is when it comes to brain health.  Key facts and great resources available at this function.  What you learn may help someone you know who has a child that suffers with a brain disorder.  Our children of today are our future leaders of tomorrow... we need to help them. 

"Your Body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit Within You..." Corinthians 6:19

... we need to take care of our bodies---and teach our children how to do the same... Hope to see you, God Bless!
