For the Kiddo: MTHFR, ADHD, Tic’s, Low Focus and the dreaded school day… here’s how we weaned him off of pharmaceuticals, and on to a Natural Path… (get it, naturopath??)
Our story – well my son’s story, is that he couldn’t focus in the classroom and so he was constantly up and moving around, making noises and off in his own world – this kid has a HUGE imagination – with that, he wasn’t getting very good grades. We reached out to the school system for support, and we got it, but the last stage of that was him having to go see a neurologist to figure out what was actually going on and see if there was some kind of a diagnosis. The neurologist pretty quickly diagnosed him with ADHD, low focus, and ticks (he would pop his head and roll it and move his shoulders – this worried us the most at that point – we didn’t know why he was doing it, which is worrisome, but we also didn’t want him to be made fun of… kids can be cruel something, and so can their parents). It took us about a year of visits and weighing the options, but she was pushing medication the whole time, so we finally did it because we wanted him to be successful in class and we were led to believe by his doctor that was the only way. Once we put him on it, immediately my mom heart was broken… I knew it wasn’t right, I felt cruel for medicating my son so he could be just what he needed to be to be successful in class. His little body had a hard time processing that kind of foreign medication in his body – he didn’t eat very much when he was on it, and the come down/withdrawal after school was heart wrenching… every single day – tired, lethargic, irritable… I was watching my 9 year old “come down” from his pill at night.
We’re forcing them to sit for eight hours a day in a room, when growing boys (all kids, but boys especially) aren’t created to do that; they need to run, they need to jump, they need to yell… we basically caging them in and telling them they are a problem if they don’t comply. It felt so wrong.
So I did the deep dive into the rabbit hole – and we know how deep that is – and so a very dear friend of mine did biofeedback on him, and we realized that he couldn’t process all of the heavy metals and toxins that were in his body and because of that he wasn’t retaining any of the nutrition in his food – and let’s be honest, there’s not a whole lot of nutrition in the food that we eat because most of our food is processed and cut with pesticides and chemicals and antibiotics, our soil is depleted, our water is fluoridated which is known to cause neurological and issues and riddled with pharmaceuticals, mainly antidepressants and painkillers and our air is the most toxic it’s ever been in history – but that’s a whole other rabbit hole for a different post! After a lot of research – a lot – our path was set…
We figured out that he needed to detox from heavy metals, parasites and toxicity in our day-to-day lives and then also we needed to replenish his minerals and vitamins in order to make it so that he could sleep and relax and learn and digest and you know, LIVE HEALTHY!
I decided to ween him off the pharmaceuticals and ease him into natural supplements, you know like the gas/clutch transition on your trusty stick shift…
Today… he is 100% off of pharmaceuticals… he is getting better grades at school, no major issues coming from the classroom (except the standard 13 year old boy antics and general irritation with having to go to school… trust me buddy, I feel the same about having to work, yet here we are…), and NO MORE TICS. Yep, I said it. Grades improved, focus and behavior improved, and no more tics. His body just needed to cleanse and heal and be replenished with the nutrients God put on this earth.
We knew that we would get NOWHERE if his body couldn’t soak in the goodness we were trying to give it and spent all of it’s time fighting the toxins inside, so we immediately started with a Zeolite Cellular Detox and Full Body and Gut Detox (tasteless drops and sprays, EASY) to detox his heavy metals and parasites and toxins… magnesium, zinc and B6, vitamin D3, sea Moss and Lions Mane mushroom supplement to home in the cognitive skills and focus he needed for the day.
He is OUR success story – in my humble opinion – of naturally healing our babies… figuring out that pharmaceuticals are not the answer for these kids.
BUT – this isn’t EVERYONES story! Every kid – and adult – is different and has specific needs and issues. We were lucky, a natural path worked for him. It doesn’t work for everyone, but maybe some variation or part of it, in addition to medication will ease symptoms. It’s trial and error!
Here’s what he uses:
Pure Body & Pure Body Extra: We knew that we would get NOWHERE if our body couldn’t soak in the goodness we were trying to give it and spent all of it’s time fighting the toxins inside, so I take a Zeolite Cellular Detox and Full Body and Gut Detox (tasteless drops and sprays, EASY) to detox my heavy metals and parasites and toxins…
Sea Moss (blend): Our human body is composed of 102 minerals and nutrients. Sea Moss contains 92 of these minerals including; magnesium, potassium, iodine, sulfur, calcium, selenium, fiber, copper, phosphorus, zinc, riboflavin and manganese. Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and aids in overall immune health and wellness.
Lions Mane: Daily Mushroom Supplement for Memory, Focus & Clarity – Brain Booster
Vitamin D3 + K2 are essential micronutrients that work together to support proper calcium absorption to our bones and teeth, while also promoting joint health, immune defense, and heart function.
Daily routine:
In the morning, I make him a protein shake (let’s get real, its the premade, individual ones…), giving him essential vitamins and protein right off the bat – before breakfast is even a thought.
In that shake, I add:
He takes 2 of the Sea Moss gummies (he LOVES the taste), and a quick spray and a couple drops of the Zeolite Metal Detox.
All of this takes less than 30 seconds to make happen…
