Definition:
Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADD or ADHD) is defined as age inappropriate impulsiveness, lack of concentration, and sometimes excessive physical activity. ADD has been associated with learning difficulties and lack of social skills. The main neuroleptic (mind altering) prescription drug treatment for ADD, Ritalin (methylphenidate), is similar to amphetamine drugs. Paradoxically, these drugs are stimulants in adults. Many parents have expressed a growing concern about treating their children with an amphetamine like drug. A variety of natural approaches to this condition has been investigated as alternatives to drug therapy.
Cause:
Some parents believe that sugar may exacerbate ADD. One study found that avoiding sugar reduced aggressiveness and restlessness in hyperactive children. A deficiency of several essential fatty acids has been observed in some children with ADD compared with unaffected children. |

Definition:
Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting skin structures usually involving the face, back and chest. It usually affects those between the age of puberty and the twenties.
Symptoms:
The primary lesion or blackhead develops into a pinkish pustule or nodule. A teenager, sometime pre-teen, often breaks out with a horrible skin condition in which pustules and their scars may cover the skin, which is often coarse and oily. This causes an inferiority complex and other emotional disruption. At this time they may become irritable, snap and snarl at people. They are impossible to live around--why? They are growing into adulthood so rapidly that they are maturing faster than they are equipped.

Definition:
Acidosis is the reduction of the alkali reserve, due to an excess of acid-forming foods which are incompletely oxidized or poorly eliminated. This leads to the cause of stomach disorders. As Otto Mausert, N.D., states in his book Herbs (Elaine M. Mhur, Eugene, Oregon 97402), the body needs sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Acidosis is the depletion of these alkali reserves.
Symptoms:
Loss of appetite, headaches, sleeplessness, acid urine, acid or strong perspiration, acid mouth, sour stomach, lassitude and vomiting.
