Hi-I’m Kathy Bee. I wanted to introduce myself to you as I am a reporter for Naturalnews University. I have a background in education and a passion for health and wellness. As a former teacher, I know that children are where we really need to focus our attention. For many, their lifestyle habits are killing them slowly. I studied nutrition with the goal in mind to make changes in the way people view food and health. Knowledge is key! I have been fortunate enough to align myself with like minded people and promote wellness in all areas as a team. Each person has something they specialize in and together we become stronger. I am working with an amazing chiropractor who has a unique approach. Dr. Roe is an Upper Cervical Chiropractor who has been able to improve the health and lives of so many people through gentle chiropractic while educating the patients at the same time. When we take control of our own lives by learning and applying information-we all advance in a positive direction. Let me hear from you with ideas,thoughts or questions. Bee Healthy!

ADHD behaviors as seen in children seem to have very little meaning.

ADHD Diagnoses

An ADHD diagnosis seems to be arbitrary. Two published studies seem to say something is wrong with the way ADHD is diagnosed in young children. In the U.S. nearly one million kids may be misdiagnosed just because they are the youngest in their kindergarten class. The youngest in the class is twice as likely to be on stimulant medication.

What was found the youngest children were much more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and be prescribed behavior modifying stimulants such as Ritalin.

Could it be the teacher was just having a bad hair day, and had no patience for an unruly 5 year old?  Since this is such a subjective diagnosis this can be a factor.

Hyperactivity

Hyperactivity in a five year old seems normal to a sedentary adult. This is a perception, not always a reality. It is estimated that the misdiagnosis rate is about 1 in 5, and that 900,000 of the 4.5 million children currently diagnosed with ADHD have been misdiagnosed.

Wow, 4.5 million children diagnosed with ADHD is correct. I don’t buy it. With our diet, and vaccine schedule it is possible that we have fostered a nation of unruly children. This number doesn’t add up. 

Attention Deficit Disorder

Attention deficit disorder is a relatively new term. It use to be called rambunctious, acting out, class clown, energetic, and irascible behavior. With a profit center build around Ritalin, a new term is just what the drug companies ordered.

Legal drugs vs. Street Drugs, the difference profit for big pharma:

Diabetes type 2 improves with antioxidants from low glycemic fruits and vegetables. A diet rich in natural antioxidants improves insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant obese adults and enhances the effect of the insulin-sensitizing drug metformin, a preliminary study from Italy finds. The results will be presented at The Endocrine Society’s 92nd Annual Meeting in San Diego.

“The beneficial effects of antioxidants are known, but we have revealed for the first time one of their biological bases of action-improving hormonal action in obese subjects with the metabolic syndrome,” said principal author Antonio Mancini, MD, an endocrinology researcher at Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome.

Antioxidants, which are found naturally in fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts, include vitamins E and C, selenium and carotenoids, such as beta-carotene. Past research shows that antioxidants can prevent oxidative damage to cells and in some cases also help repair damage.

Mom  Knew

Mom Knew, but the medical community has no idea. But, as everyone discovers sooner or later Mom was right. The medical system is not your salvation, they aren’t capable of anything more than billing you. Your mothers advice was free, when you pay for it, the value seems to increase. Maybe, your mother should have charged you.

Diabetes is Becoming an Epidemic

Diabetes is becoming an epidemic killer, and the only way to be protected from it is on your plate. It is as pure and simple as that. The right food is more potent than the standardized treatments. The ultimate formula to combat this killer is again on your plates. The missing link to all degenerative chronic conditions is the active form of nutrients. These come straight from the garden, Protect your body from oxidative stress with antioxidants.

Appetite

The ultimate challenge for America is to suppress emotional eating, compulsive eating, and overeating. This has become a challenge. Overeating is an epidemic, and combating the causes is next to impossible. Our appetites are set on the food industries standards. Craving for more of there non-nutritious faux foods have been manipulated. This helps pave the foundation for over consumption of both large meals and between meal eating.

To quit eating more than you need or want is a challenge for most people. That is unless they change their diet to a whole food one. This will include plenty of antioxidants. Very few people binge on broccoli, carrots, watercress fennel, cabbage, cauliflower, or even parsley. 

If you pair that up with some protein and fruit you will prevent, stabilize and reduce your need for insulin.
