Environmental and nutritional support for ADD, Autism and Chemical Sensitivity

The present increase in learning difficulties/ADD and developmental disorders has been linked to the greatly increased chemical pollutants in the environment and household substances in use in the last few decades. Once chemicals build up to a certain level in the population (and the effects can be inter-generational) diseases and brain disorders are inevitable. Any form of remedial treatment is likely to be more effective if combined with measures to reduce the person's exposure to toxic chemicals.

Three points to consider are:

Food
Nutrients
Reduce toxic load

Food and Diet

Fresh fruits and vegetables should make up the major part of the diet. Use organically grown produce wherever possible.

Avoid dairy products, all wheat products and white sugar. Other foods should preferably be gluten free. Processed foods with preservatives, flavourings and colourings need to be reduced as much as possible.

Nutritional Supplements

Today our diet needs to be supplemented to assist the body in dealing with the many toxins in the environment and the lack of nutrients in our food.

Colloidal minerals are a supplement which comes in a liquid form making it more readily absorbed by the body. All the essential minerals and trace elements needed for building good health are contained in this supplement.

Chewable multi vitamin and mineral supplement for children - a chewable product for children up to twelve and an adult formula for those over twelve. This contains the vitamins and important mineral groups to aid in the development of the child.

Reduce Toxic Load

Convert your bathroom to non toxic products. Avoid products with SLS, SLES, Propylene Glycol, Glycerine, MEA, DEA, TEA, in particular. Enquire about our complete range of toxin free products for hair, skin, deodorants, body and dental care. We also have toxin free air fresheners and cleaning products and a special range of toxin free products for babies and children.

Avoid using chemical pesticides for ants, cockroaches, termites and the use of pesticides in the garden.

Commitment

The chemical free regime requires a commitment of at least three months to give adequate time to observe results. These steps, combined with Sound Therapy may enable families to avoid the use of drugs such as Ritalin.
