Malnourished?

Quote From: rettsgem

My frustration at seeing and hearing and reading about kids who behave like this or kids who have ADD/ADHD is that these kids are malnourished.  Studies have proved that omega 6 fatty acids are deficient in people who exhibit such behaviors.  We are not getting proper nutrition in today's society.  That means no processed foods, no soda pop, in many cases no dairy especialy the kind that is sold in supermarkets and no fake oils.  If you are in an area that gets less sun than say Florida, and good cod liver oil supplement is a must.  If you don't have access to certified organic produce and good whole food vitamin/mineral supplement is a must.  We should be eating fresh raw produce and grass fed beef and free range poultry and by products from those sources.  Organic extra virgin olive oil and  virgin coconut oil and palm oil.  Those are the nutritous oils we should be consuming.  Soy is not a health food.  It over sexes our girls and under sexes our boys because of the phyto estrogens found in soybeans, and phytochemicals cause us to not absorb vital nutrients.  Over weight people are malnourished people.  Hyper active, violent, depressed, etc people are malnourished people.  We are a people who have been duped by TV, magazine, and newspaper ads that tell us that sugary cereals are a good after school snack.  NOT!!!  I tell you this because I was one of them and I continue to remind myself that I'm fat, I have diabetes, I have psoriasis, I had a heart attack because I drank soda pop and ate Doritos and cream cheese and smoked like a freight train and caused these things to happen by my own stubborness and ignorance.  Now there is a TV ad that tells us Hellman's is real.  It's not real because it's made with soybean oil.  And I realize that we are all individuals by what we "choose" to believe.  That there are no absolutes except for those we allow to reside in our minds.  When people ask me if I believe there is a God of the Bible and my answer is ABSOLUTELY!!  Satan lied to Eve and TV lies to its viewers.  Believe what TV says we should eat or believe what the Bible says we should eat.  Hugs from Florida

Come on, is this from experience saying  ADD-ADHD children are malnourished? Well let me educate you. My child was healthy all his life had all the tests performed such as  EEG's labs and so on. No chemical imbalances. By the way, I could not qualify for government help with WIC (food program years ago) because he was too healthy. Weight was good all his tests they did showed he was very healthy.  But my son was off the chain with hyperactivity.

 

By the way I am a nurse. So I may educate you on this subject. Not all hyperactive/attention deficiet children are malnourished. I have researched this subject on more than one occasion.

 

My son did at one time become angry  and I had problems with him. But it was not  a malnourish problem. He blamed me for a divorce. When we stopped and spoke to him the problem was resolved.

 

To this day my son still exhibits some of the ADHD behavior and he is 30 years old. My son is far from malnourished so please speak on what you know not what you think.
