Some of the recent studies indicated that ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), is more than a brain performance malfunction. As a result, more and more researches are being made towards the scientifically-tested natural treatment plans.
Nowadays, there are two non-invasive treatment plans available for ADD patients- biofeedback and diet planning. The EGG Biofeedback, is an ideal scientific natural remedy. Under this treatment graphic images of the brain waves are displayed with the help of sensory wires and computers. It is more like a video-game, which involves a feedback session of 20 minutes or more between the patient and the therapist. In this treatment a reward system is applied to the child-patient as the game progresses faster when desirable frequency of the brain waves is achieved. However, an undesirable frequency is achieved when the game regresses each time.
Diet Planning on the other hand, is also a scientifically proven natural remedy. One of the commonly prescribed ADD drug, Ritalin assimilates the effect of "cocaine high", natural scientific remedies veered away from foods which may trigger such - like cow's milk, wheat, soy, eggs, corn, chocolate, yeast, orange and apple juice. ADD patients need to follow a diet plan excluding food high in preservatives and dyes.
Most ADD patients lack magnesium because of the high consumption of soft drinks. Similarly, a diet high on calcium and fat leads to unbalanced nutrient ratio in the body. All these factors leads to magnesium absorption suppression. Various research indicates that deficiency of magnesium leads to depression, anxiety restlessness and irritability. Therefore, it is important to include whole wheat flour, sea salt and natural sweeteners; and, intake of magnesium-rich foods in the diet of ADD patients.
A combination of these natural remedies are the most effective plan and surely least risky, for an ADD symptom-free child.
