3 Steps to Conquering ADD ADHD & How Women Can Regain Those Shapely Curves

After my analysis of the Total Transformation Program® I decided to revisit the concept of “miracle cures for ADHD.” I googled “3 step cure adhd” and found some very interesting things. What follows is a result of some of those findings. 1. Cure ADHD with Laughter: That’s not really what this particular website article was promoting as a cure for ADHD. However, when the cure is composed of three simple things – stop drinking milk; learn to meditate; get a good night’s sleep – I had assumed laughter must be the real cure that is being promoted. After all, I read this article and laughed for fifteen minutes and for that brief time I did not feel like I had ADHD. I’m hoping this researcher can find a cure that lasts longer than fifteen minutes. 2....

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Image source: http://noticefurtheruntil.wordpress.com/2008/12/01/out-of-the-summer-of-hibernation-im-back/ Each spring I’m reminded of the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)1. Once daylight hours begin to increase and the quality of the light shifts from dull to bright, I awaken as if from hibernation. During the winter months I used to go into a depressive, sleep-like state, a sort of human hibernation. Wellbutrin has worked wonders to solve this problem, at least the depression, and having “natural” light in the form of full spectrum lighting has had a bit of a beneficial effect. Still, there’s nothing that compares with the longer days and the bright sunshine of spring and summer. Think you might suffer from SAD? The Mayo Clinic has some information. =============================== FYI:...

The Power of Positive Thinking & ADHD

Note: This post, written by Bryan Hutchinson, is in response to the two-part post (links are here and here) from Paradigm of Thought (POT). To: Paradigm Of Thought, Jeff, I very much enjoyed reading this entire post, more so than the first one. The first part just seemed to be missing too many points and wasn’t clear in some places. As a whole (almost), this comes across very well. However, P.O.T. you did yourself one powerful injustice and to a degree put your argument and your entire post back into question: “No, the only thing stopping you from success is you, nothing more.” Unfortunately, that single statement out of all of them, may make ADDers pause and question whether you have ADHD, or if you are simply doing research and trying to debunk the ADHD myth. This is my...

You Have A.D.D. And You Can Succeed: A Rebuttal By “Paradigm Of Thought” – Part II

A Bit of Background: A lengthy comment on the blog post You Have A.D.D./A.D.H.D. and You Will NOT Be Rich and Famous resulted in a lengthy response on my part that became the blog post You Have ADD/ADHD and You Will STILL Not Be Rich and Famous. The author of the lengthy comment, Paradigm of Thought, wanted to provide a lengthy and detailed response to that second post. I asked Paradigm to email me his response (it was too long to post as a comment) and I assured him that I would post it on this blog. Because of the length of the response I am posting it in two parts. This is the second part of his response. The first part is here. ===== You Have A.D.D.
