In our opening COVID update segment, Dr. Prather talks about the "triple-demic" of flu, RSV, and coronavirus facing us this fall and winter. Then, we talk about ADHD, which is becoming more common and is a worsening problem. In this episode, you'll learn:
\u2014How we are seeing flu and RSV numbers that are higher than they've been in years.
\u2014Dr. Prather's recommendations on how to protect yourself and your loved ones during this time, including getting updated bloodwork to determine your Vitamin D and Iodine levels, plus a hair analysis to determine your Zinc levels.
\u2014Why Dr. Prather says there are so many misconceptions about ADHD, such as "the kid just needs a good spanking". And how ADHD is a real brain disorder with a different structure than a normal brain, along with abnormal function of the brain.
\u2014\u2014The importance of a Hair Analysis to determine any heavy metal toxicities that can be the root cause of ADHD. And how a lack of breastfeeding is "a huge factor", which results in a 5-times greater likelihood of having ADHD.
\u2014Why Dr. Prather says diet is "probably one of the most important" things for ADHD. And why children with ADHD should avoid food coloring and sugar ("which is like putting in rocket fuel" for a child with ADHD).
\u2014How children on pharmaceutical drugs to help control ADHD during the school year will actually stop growing, then will grow again when they go off the drugs over the summer.
\u2014The reason Dr. Prather says "Structure-Function Care is absolutely essential" in the treatment of ADHD. And why he lists Aluminum "especially" as a heavy metal toxicity and neurotoxin as an underlying cause of ADHD.
\u2014Why proper fatty acids are important for ADHD, which allows for repair and healing to the structure and function of the brain. And why it is actually a compliment if someone calls you a "fat head"!
\u2014How the brain CAN heal itself again "if you get the right nutrition". And the herbals, vitamins, and minerals Dr. Prather recommends for ADHD.
\u2014The moving story of a boy whom the teachers wanted to have medicated and put into a Special Education class until his Mom took him to Dr. Prather. And then, he became a straight A student.
