now at the end of this presentation your

attention is going to be greatly

improved if you follow what I’m going to

show you there’s no doubt that we have a

major problem with attention as well as

the hyperactivity that can be connected

to it so I want to discuss this

condition but just be rest assured there

is a very simple solution that has very

minimal if any side effects and I think

the only problem that people will have

is

how do you come off your medication with

help of your doctor of course and how do

you make that transition well you’re

just going to have to do it gradually

with supervision so you could eventually

come off but the diagnosis using the

diagnostic and statistical Manual of

mental disorders which is a little bit

outdated but it’s almost the same as how

they diagnose it now it’s just becoming

a big problem because you get a label

and a prescription okay and then what is

the long-term effect do you eventually

come off this medication what are the

side effects when you come off is it

addictive these are all things that are

not worked out now living in an

environment with sensory overload you

know mainly this thing right here every

five seconds you’re getting text

messages so our society is training us

to have less and less attention units

with all the different stimuli that are

around us so it’s how do we get more

attention how do we get more done I want

to discuss that but let me first

Entertain You by going through how they

diagnose this it’s completely

contrary it’s there’s no blood test it’s

all subjective here we go the tension

deficit disorder hyperactivity disorder

there’s two sections one for inattention

and the other is for hyperactivity I’m

going to go through both so if you have

six or more of these um you’re diagnosed

often fails to give close attention to

detail or makes careless mistakes

okay I could think I have that uh B

often has difficulty sustaining

attention and task or playing activities

okay see often does not seem to listen

when spoken to directly all right next

one often does not follow through on

instructions and fails to finish

schoolwork tours duties in the workplace

which one of you have that one all right

next one often has difficulty organizing

tasks and activities now for me this is

why I hire people to do that part

because generally I am not very

organized all right next one often

avoids dislikes or is reluctant to

engage in tasks that require sustained

mental effort such as school work or

home work next one often loses things

necessary for tasks or activities toys

School assignments pencils books tools

you know your dog ate your homework

right which is a legitimate excuse all

right next one is often easily

distracted by extraneous

stimuli okay it’s often forgetful in

daily activities I mean who does not

have virtually all of these now the next

one involves hyperactivity often fidgets

with hands or feet or squirms and seat I

do that all day long often leaves seat

in classroom or in other situations

often runs about or climbs successfully

in situations what if the person has a

lot of energy next one often has

difficulty playing or engaging in

leisure activities

quietly I guess if we play we need to be

quiet when we’re playing I mean that is

ridiculous next one is often on the go

and often acts as if driven by a motor

wow that’s interesting often talks

excessively so in other words we should

play quietly don’t talk too much

don’t seem to have too much energy make

sure you don’t climb on anything now I

just have to just show you two of the

things that are um you know if you want

to be entertained today from this book

um page 736 it says adverse effects of

medication not otherwise specified and I

guess the code is 995.2 this category is

available for optional use by clinicians

to code side effects of medication when

these adverse effects become the main

focus of attention so if I understand

this correctly if the patient focuses

too much on the adverse effects then we

can throw this code in there now look at

this other one right here this diagnosis

is

v15-81 non-compliance with treatment

okay the reasons for non-compliance may

include discomfort resulting from

treatment you know like side effects

expense of treatment decisions based on

personal value judgments or religious or

cultural beliefs about the advantages

and disadvantages of proposed treatment

all right so whether you’re diagnosed or

not and you want to increase your

attention your attention span realize

that add or ADHD has nothing to do with

someone’s intelligence okay we’re

talking about attention a lack of

attention and hyperactivity in some

cases intelligence is something

completely different there are people

are not intelligent that have this but

it’s very difficult to even find the

definition of intelligence if you try to

look it up I guess the medical

professionals just don’t agree on what

it is some people were related to the

grades you get in school or how well you

memorize things well to me that’s not

necessarily intelligence I mean

intelligent people might be able to

memorize very well but people that can’t

memorize are also in intelligent so I

think if we want to Define intelligence

we have to look at the opposite of

intelligence which is

stupidity okay what is that that’s lack

of reasoning lack of knowledge

unawareness lack of judgment and so

intelligence must have logic rationality

reason the ability to think the ability

to solve problems and the ability to

quickly pick things up and understand

them but someone’s learning ability can

also be affected by

just not having

um the right teacher that can teach you

the basics in school now I know for me

in school I had a really good teacher in

chemistry in high school that really

taught us the basics right so those

Basics allowed me to go to the next

level and learn more and more about

chemistry yet in other subjects I didn’t

learn these Basics so it was very

difficult to learn things over this

Missing Foundation like right now I’m

studying genetics I’m interested in DNA

and a lot of the information the courses

assume you remember all the basics and I

literally had to find videos of teaching

genetics to kids to really wrap my wits

around these basic pieces and this

brings up a very important point if a

child is in school and they’re not

really taught these Basics and they’re

trying to learn high level things you

talk about confusion and a lack of

attention because you had no foundation

so everything is is a confusion so

unfortunately I think a lot of kids are

just diagnosed with this disorder when

in fact what they really need is better

study skills they need to learn how to

learn now there is a physical component

to this okay in your brain they don’t

know this for sure but there’s some

relationship between the frontal cortex

and your ability to concentrate

there’s also a relationship between

another part of the brain called

hippocampus and your ability to focus

and concentrate which is in the category

of cognitive functions now what’s

interesting about the brain is it’s only

two percent of your body weight but

takes up 20 percent of your body’s

energy and calories it’s an energy hog

out of all the different organs it Hogs

the most energy and out of all the

organs it is the fattiest tissue sixty

percent of the brain is composed of fat

which is interesting now one important

thing you need to know about attention

okay is that it takes a lot of energy in

the brain to hold your attention because

it’s not just holding your attention

it’s filtering out distractions and

sensory stimulus things like that and so

if your brain is tired okay you’re not

going to be able to filter out things as

much you’re not going to be able to

concentrate for a long period of time so

I think a big part of this problem

relates to energy in the brain you’ve

probably been taught that the brain only

runs on glucose and this is the total

lie because you can run your body on

ketones in fact you can run your body on

75 ketones with only 25 percent

glucose and that 25 percent can come

from that protein or even ketones in

other words you don’t need any

carbohydrates or glucose for that 25

energy so running your brain on ketones

can instantly give you a tremendous

amount of energy and on top of that

ketones are more efficient and the way

to feed your brain ketones is to just

lower your carbohydrates and then your

body will start oxidizing fat and then

from that you’ll get ketones and ketones

release less waste in the brain so it’s

a cleaner more efficient fuel source now

since we’re on the topic of attention

and cognitive function we have to talk

about this I mean if you are consuming

gluten for example that’s going to

affect the gut and that’s going to

affect your brain you’re not going to be

able to think you’re going to be in a

constant state of brain fog like I was

for decades it wasn’t until I gave up

the grains and went on the ketogenic

diet I felt like a helmet came off my

head I could finally Focus I can finally

think I could hold my attention so

getting rid of the grains on the diet is

going to be important and other things

that could be an allergy like casein you

can have an allergy that can also affect

the brain a lack of sleep is another big

factor too much caffeine can affect the

brain all of the nutrients okay there’s

several nutrients that are vital for

brain energy and to counter this lack of

attention and the biggest one is vitamin

B1 if you don’t have enough B1 okay you

are going to be in a constant state of

restlessness you’re not going to have

this calmness you’re going to have maybe

restless leg syndrome you’re going to

have hyperactivity especially if you’re

a child and you’re definitely not going

to be able to think that well but it’s

going to be mainly related to the

brain’s energy so vitamin B1 is one of

the most important vitamins to counter

this attention deficit okay nutritional

yeast is a good source or find enough

actual B1 the next most important

nutrient is magnesium magnesium is

necessary to make energy in the brain or

ATP it’s also necessary to calm the

brain if you have this hyperactivity and

you get magnesium from Leafy grains how

many kids consume enough vegetables well

it’s very very few and far in between

but in one study over 58 percent of

children that had ADHD actually had a

magnesium deficiency which is quite

interesting because if you have a blood

deficiency of magnesium you are very

very deficient most of the Magnesium is

not in the blood it’s inside the cell

and so it will show up as a deficiency

in the blood when the cell is severely

deficient and the next most important

nutrient deficiency to consider is

potassium if you were deficient in

potassium because of course you’re not

consuming enough vegetables because

vegetables really give you potassium and

magnesium you’re going to have a

difficult time filtering out sensory

information or sensory overload that is

going to greatly affect your ability to

hold your attention and then the other

one is omega-3 fatty acids omega-3 fatty

acids DHA EPA are essential for your

nerves to conduct electricity and

information so unfortunately too many

people including kids are consuming so

much omega-6 fatty acid soy corn canola

oil and not enough of the fish oils like

cod liver oil but that can make a big

difference when you start introducing

someone to cod liver oil or fish oils

they’re not going to see a change

overnight you’re going to have to do

this over a period of weeks to see the

change because it’s a slow process now

there’s another really really good

remedy I would recommend as a substitute

for Adderall or Ritalin now I’m not

telling you to come off your medication

I’m not telling you to substitute I just

want to give you this as a really good

solution to present with your doctor in

case you want to make make a switch it

has virtually no sound effects and it’s

called

dmae okay this compound is actually in

sardines but I would recommend taking it

as a supplement it does several things

but it can help rid the brain waste that

can interfere with your focus it’s very

neural protective okay so it’s going to

help protect the brain against

inflammation and oxidative stress and

free radical damage but it increases the

receptor’s ability to absorb

acetylcholine and that’s the main

neurotransmitter that you need in these

Pathways it significantly and potently

increases focus and enhances

concentration so

dmae is what I would recommend as a

supplement of choice if you have ADD or

ADHD now you’re probably also going to

notice you’re going to sleep a little

bit better and your vision might be a

little bit better because it actually

gets rid of certain wastes that can

interfere with your retina which is an

extension of your brain okay number two

get on the ketogenic diet do

intermittent fasting if you haven’t

already done that before and then B1

magnesium potassium okay and omega-3

fatty acids you can get your magnesium

and your potassium from leafy greens and

larger quantities and the next most

important video for you to watch would

be on how to get started

on the healthy version of the ketogenic

diet with intermittent fasting I put

that video up right here check it out
