Holograms keep energy, concentration, stamina at the optimum level.
The study, published in Pediatrics, tracked calls to U.S. poison control centers from 1998 to 2005 among 13- to 19-year-olds.
“Calls related to teenaged victims of prescription ADHD medication abuse rose 76%, which is faster than calls for victims of substance abuse generally and teen substance abuse,” write researcher Jennifer Setlik, MD, of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and colleagues.
ADHD affects between 8% and 12% of children and 4% of adults worldwide, and there has been a significant increase in the sale of stimulant drugs designed to treat the condition in recent years.
Rather than just masking the problem with drugs. More and more parents are turning increasingly to the non-drug treatments recommended by Integrative Medicine Practioners who focus on nutrition and lifestyle changes that may help correct or prevent biochemical imbalances that cause ADHD.
Some Doctors are using a new technology in their practice to help ADD/ADHD patients with consistent energy and focus and mental clarity. There are reports of patients that are totally off medications due to the effectiveness of these tiny holograms. ”These ADD/ADHD patients are now able to function better, changing the whole family’s life.”
