Consider a natural treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). MindMenders BodyBenders Clinic run my Dr. Ruben St. Laurent in Flower Mound, Texas (TX) has developed a new approach to treatment of ADHD without the use of Ritalin. Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is also addressed by the Flower Mound, Texas based MindMenders BodyBenders Clinic. A natural treatment for ADD and ADHD involves specific brain training techniques instead of drugs, such as Ritalin, Focalin, and Adderall, in children and teenagers.


 


Clinic Exposes ADHD Medication Risks and Reveals Safe Alternative Treatment Methods.


Unfortunately, the medical world, and people in general, often underestimate attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication risks. Nor do they do not consider a multifaceted natural approach as the solution. "The long-term impact of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication on young developing brains is not yet fully known," explains Dr. Ruben St. Laurent of MindMenders BodyBenders Clinic.  Some researchers are concerned about the use of drugs, such as Ritalin, Focalin, and Adderall, in children and teenagers because these medications might interfere with normal brain development and cause unwanted side effects. For instance, many ADHD medications contain stimulants that have been found to cause significant side effects and even sudden death in children and adults with heart conditions.


However, there are effective alternatives to using medication for individuals suffering with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is believed by some to be, in part, a central auditory processing disorder, resulting from a defect in the brain stem’s reticular activating system. The reticular activating system is the area of the brain that is responsible for regulating information from the auditory and vestibular systems, which selectively focus on certain types of sensory inputs, while inhibiting others. Although central auditory processing issues are often present in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients, auditory processing dysfunction has received little serious attention from the medical world; fortunately, natural brain-based techniques that address these problems and restore brain function have emerged. One results producing program is the cognitive skills training administered by MindMenders BodyBenders Clinic (http://www.mindmenders.net/), which utilizes a multifaceted brain-based therapy including individualized cognitive intellect activities, functional neurology, integrated physical activities, a bone conduction listening program, and more. "Our clients have responded wonderfully, resulting in significant life and academic improvements, including families of children with ADHD,” explains Patricia Stafford.


The MindMenders Program helps activate the brain, identify and improve brain weakness in even the most gifted individuals, and heighten the brain’s ability to process all types of information. The power of the multifaceted program is the combination of cognitive training, vestibular exercises, brain chemistry balancing with neurotransmitters, and the listening program, which strengthens unused or weak areas of the brain while using music-based auditory stimulation.


One program outcome is designed to improve the auditory skills necessary to optimize learning potential, improve communication skills, and enhance musical abilities by addressing auditory processing problems, sound sensitivities, and learning and attention deficits. "Parents have approached me with tears in their eyes because they never dreamed these results were possible for their children." In fact, Stafford adds, "With children who rarely spoke and ADHD kids with inattention and anti-social behavior, parents say the children now experience school success and finally sit down long enough hold a conversation, which never happened before training.” The cognitive program, including The Listening Program, administered by MindMenders BodyBenders Clinic does indeed produce results and offers an underestimated natural solution for attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) clients of all ages.
