The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, June 18,1994 5 by Dr. Kathlynn Hoch, D.C. In my practice, 35% of the patients patients treated are children. Therefore, the above disorder is quite a frequent complaint. Often parents will say my child is "Hyperactive", has behaviour problems problems and limited attention span and is creating stress in our home environment. environment. This is a prime example of the need for multi-disciplinary care. ADHD's main components are inappropriate inappropriate degrees of inattention, impulsiveness impulsiveness and hyper-activity. It has been estimated 5-10% of school aged children are affected. They are commonly commonly diagnosed before four years of age, with males being six to nine times more likely than females to have the disorders, which can progress into adulthood. Three recent studies show the benefits benefits of chiropractic adjustments on these children. The importance of the nervous system is certainly not to be overlooked. However, it is my experience experience as well as practitioners at the Kentuckiana Children's. Centre that the stability of chiropractic care is greatly enhanced when combined with other factors affecting structural, structural, chemical and mental aspects of this disorder. Among the many possible possible causes are fetal alcohol syndrome food allergies, maternal prenatal smoking, genetics and vaccination. There are however, other predisposing predisposing factors to ADHD that must be acknowledged and investigated to ensure ensure maximal success in treatment. These causes include Candida albicans albicans proliferation temporanibular joint dysfunction (jaw), heavy metal toxicity, food sensitivities, environmental environmental allergies, neurological disorganization, disorganization, learning problems, visual perceptual disorders and multiple aspects aspects of psychological disorders.

Studies of hyperkinetic children, found some 15 foods that provoked an increase in hyperkinetic behavior, including chocolate, food colourings, cow's milk, eggs, citrus, wheat, nuts, cheese, banana, tomato, apples, pears, beef, pork and beans. Current literature is in debate as to the role of dietary sugar in hyperactivity. hyperactivity. Glucose metabolism has been shown to be hampered in hyperkinetic hyperkinetic adults and children. After a complete chiropractic examination, examination, Nutritional Assessment with a 7 day diet survey, allergy testing testing and organ function with meridian therapy, a more accurate diagnosis as to the possible causes of ADHD can be made. Heavy metal toxicity and trace mineral imbalances and the child's environment should also be assessed. It is a complex task to unravel the problem. It is possible to get very good results with calming a child down and improving the attention deficits. This, however, takes time, patience and a huge commitment of the parents and caregivers. No protocal can universally be applied applied and the need for more research is evident with the growing number of children with ADHD.
