Genetic ADHD - IV Ozone, Chelation, Nutraceuticals

A global study has honed in on 12 specific genomic regions associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. 

The research revealed for the first time the genetic underpinnings of this inheritable condition and suggests this discovery is only a small part of the wider genetic puzzle making up ADHD.  A large number of studies have determined that ADHD is incredibly inheritable and between 70 and 80% of cases display some family history but, no clear gene had been found.

 

This research is the biggest study into ADHD ever conducted. "This is a landmark study because it involves patients from all over the world," explains Anita Thapar, one of the researchers on the project from Cardiff University. "This large number of patient samples has been lacking for ADHD, meaning our understanding of ADHD genetics has lagged behind physical disorders and other psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and depression." (Haridy, 2018)

One of the most interesting outcomes from the research seems to be that it supported the hypothesis that clinically diagnosed ADHD is the extreme end of a spectrum of genetically influenced behavior. There was a strong similarity between people who are clinically diagnosed with ADHD and those who just display some behavioral traits such as fidgetiness and inattention. 

"The study also suggests that these 12 genomic regions are just the tip of a potentially massive genetic iceberg that is associated with ADHD. It's hypothesized that common genetic variants may only account for around 22 percent of a person's ADHD risk, with yet-to-be-discovered rare genetic variants and environmental factors accounting for the rest." (Haridy, 2018)

The next step for this research is to use it to one day find treatments to better help the specifics of each patients ADHD. 

Patients with ADHD have elevated lead, aluminum and mercury levels. Lead, aluminum and mercury cross the blood brain barrier and are responsible for mood disorders. Depression and Anxiety. I do a 6 hour provocative urine challenge to see what is stored in tissue storage and run blood baseline labs to differentiate between acute and chronic storage. It's amazing what we store in the body. Lead is the progenitor of depression, arthritis, renal disease, plaque in the arteries, macular degeneration and asthma to name a few. Mercury can cause cardiac dysrhythmias, thyroid issues, anxiety, impulsiveness and both lead and mercury are associated with ADHD. 

Who knows how electromagnetic fields affect our brain. We all have "dirty genes" which get gummed up with environmental exposures which affects our gut flora where we make our brain chemicals. We work on cleaning the "dirty genes, re-balance your gut flora and recommend the supportive brain nutrients. We have excellent realistic and easy to follow oral protocols for children. Over the years, we've heard from parents and teachers that the treated children are different kids. They can concentrate, follow tasks without hyperactive behaviors. This makes everyone's life easier. 

Maybe we need to get back in balance with nature and reduce the demanding pressures of modern life. Scrap the Standard American Diet, improve your sleep, don't buy any "smart appliances" or smart meters, eat  a whole food diet, exercise daily and find meaningful non-pharmacy stress reduction techniques.

We offer I.V. Ozone chelation to clean up your total body burden. We do appropriate metal testing, reconstruct your diet, recommend supportive daily nutraceuticals and share self care detoxification tips (home ozone therapy, home colonics, sauna and immersion baths). 

Find out what your total body burden is today.
