Candida and ADHD or ADD

Are Candida yeast infections a contributor to the ADD/ADHD epidemic affecting our children? ADD or ADHD have become an increasingly big problem as more and more children are diagnosed with these problems. Some times it appears as though Doctors are too quick to use the latest buzz word and attribute every thing to the latest research that turns up connections between symptoms and disease.

ADD/ADHD seem to be one of these and the underlying problem for the diagnosis can be something of a very easily solvable nature.

It is important when a child is diagnosed with ADD/ADHD to investigate other areas which may reveal a cause and a cure.

A Candida yeast infection is one of the problems that can cause ADD/ADHD. Candida releases 42 chemicals into the blood which are actually toxins. These toxins go through the blood brain barrier and have an effect on the control center controlling sleep. These toxins can also cause other health problems.

A few other areas to investigate are

• CAPD (Central Auditory processing Disorder)
• Learning Style or Learning Disabilities
• Fetal alcohol syndrome
• Spoiled and undisciplined children
• Gifted children
• Hearing and vision problems
• High mercury levels
• Fluoride
• Allergies

A good diet will always help in addressing many health problems. I suggest having a look at our Anti-Candida Cook Book
