Registered Dietitian Nutritionist David Wiss is an expert at food addiction. He has noticed that the classic eating disorder algorithm has been unsuccessful in integrating the latest research on food addiction into eating disorder treatment. In this presentation Mr. Wiss will review the literature and propose a model for incorporating food addiction into disordered eating. A new model will be proposed.
Research shows that a nutritious diet can significantly improve your chances of successful recovery. It is common sense that eating healthy helps repair damage to mind and body from substance abuse; however, conventional knowledge in the addiction treatment field largely ignores proper nutrition as a vital component to successful recovery.

Until recently nutrition and various other lifestyle factors were predominantly in the focus of medical disciplines like cardiology, endocrinology or gastroenterology. As mental disorders are multifactorial diseases and as such are complex, emerging evidence suggests that nutrition, exercise and sleep also play an important role in the aetiology, progression and treatment of mental disorders.

Comparison of Popular diets for the Management of Type 2 DiabetesKimmer Collison-Ris
“Diabetes, a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, is characterized by high blood glucose level and glycosuria resulting from dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells and insulin resistance; in advance stages of diabetes, metabolism of protein and lipids are altered. When patients are able to keep blood glucose levels closer to normal, fewer complications occur. Over 90% of known diabetic patients are Type 2 (Marieb, 2010) and diet plays a key role in the treatment. Nutrients needed for health, divide into carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. Most foods offer a combination of nutrients but some categories and larger quantities elevate glucose levels. This paper serves to compare the ADA low fat, low carbohydrate diet to the Paleo, the Atkins, the Alkaline Acid diets, and food combining; offering possible alternatives for the diabetic patient.
Hawthorn berry is proposed as a possible anti-inflammatory treatment in the management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This is not to be undertaken without supervision and management by a qualified licensed medical provider educated in CAM modalities. This novel paper implicates inflammation as one of the key causes of ADHD/ADD and suggests the use of a carefully prescribed and monitored supplement of Hawthorn might be beneficial in managing this condition.
Many of the current chronic disease conditions including cardiovascular disease, Diabetes, hyperlipidemia, ADD, ADHD, Arthritis, and other chronic conditions implicate chronic inflammation as the main disease culprit. Much of our western diet and lifestyle is to blame for this increase. Bioflavinoids contained in whole foods plant based diets show promise in reducing whole body inflammation. This novel paper discusses it possible role in reimaging and treating patients suffering from chronic inflammation to improve their health.
Is there a role for Homeobotanicals in Conventional Medicine?Kimmer Collison-Ris
Homeobotanicals are scientifically prepared herbal formulas prepared in a laboratory in New Zealand and have been utilized for the last several decades by Naturopathic providers. These products have been created and tested for correct dosages and blended to become formulas for use in patient's healthcare. They were discovered by the late Dr. Brian Murray to use in patients who could not afford the expensive naturopathic treatments. This paper discusses their preparation, uses, and suggests that they could be complimentary in treating patients in conventional medicine where standard treatments have failed.

Sensory Processing Disorder is under-recognized among medical professionals but known well among Speech language and occupational therapists. Also known as Sensory Integration Dysfunction, it overlaps with Autism Spectrum, Aspergers, ADD, and ADHD or may be its own disorder. Person with this are often highly reactive to their environment (but can be under reactive). Knowing how to structure their environment, provide family and client support, and calm secondary symptoms with Homeobotanicals is key for managing it.
Many secondary neuropsych symptoms can be improved with proper diet and nutrients. This presentation lays out important nutrients needed in the diets of persons with neurodevelopmental issues and discusses briefly use of Homeobotanicals.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

ADHD Management via Complimentary Medicine
Name of Condition
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological condition characterized
by the inability to concentrate in a sustained manner, pay attention to tasks, and to control
impulsive actions (Sorgi, Hallowell, Hutchins, and Sears 2007). The exact etiology is unknown
but major multifactorial contributors include brain inflammation (Sears, 2011) adverse food
additive responses, food intolerances, sensitivities to environmental chemicals, molds, and fungi,
and exposures to neurodevelopmental toxins (ie. heavy metals and organohalide pollutants).
Thyroid hypofunction may also be a link with toxic insults in ADHD symptomatologies (Kidd,
2000). The Huffington Post (March 26, 2013) cited a study published in The Journal of
Neurology demonstrating “an association between having higher infection levels in the blood
and risk of cognitive problems." Genetics is also suspected to play a role.
Persons with ADHD struggle with development in emotional, educational, and social deficits;
the impact of poor therapy has a negative effect on their future possibilities. Many individuals do
not respond to conventional stimulant therapy alone, however, reported nutritional intervention
appears to compliment conventional therapy, possibly playing a greater role in the etiology of
ADHD syndrome (Starobrat-Hermelin and Kozielec 1997).
Body System Affected
Brain and Nervous System
Pathophysiology
Scientific theorists, believe ADHD is related to abnormalities in the frontostriatal brain
circuitry and possible hypofunctioning of dopaminergic pathways; this is consistent with the
benefits obtained in some cases with the use of psychostimulants (Kidd, 2000). Among the
3. ADHD and CAMModalities
Page | 3
genetic and environmental influences is an observed decrease in long-chain (LC)
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in children with ADHD. Proposed mechanisms for the low
levels of PUFAs include insufficient dietary intake, inefficient conversion of shorter chain
PUFAs to LC PUFAs or rapid metabolism of LC PUFAs (Sorgi, Hallowell, Hutchins, and Sears,
2007). Other recent evidence also suggests a deficit in cortical inhibition via the GABA-ergic
system (γ-aminobutyric acid) report researchers Edden, Crocetti , Zhu, Gilbert, and Mostofsky
(2012). As previously mentioned, The Journal of Neurology found a link between brain
inflammation and infection and cognitive problems.
Allopathic Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis is based upon a medical history, physical exam, and a comparison of the Connor’s
Parent Teacher rating scales showing behavioral disruption in two different environments over a
period of time . Laboratory data would show no evidence of other medical conditions.
Allopathic providers believe the primary factor in ADHD development is related to the status of
the monoamine system which impacts serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
Pharmaceutical treatment is aimed to impact the monoamine systems with neutral sulfate salts
like dextro-amphetamine and amphetamine, methylphenidate, dexmethylphenidate, atomextine,
and lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. However, they are unable to increase the total number of
neurotransmitter molecules in the central nervous system (Hinz, Stein, Neff, Weinberg, and
Uncini, 2011).
When to Refer
Clinical Diagnosis of ADHD requires a licensed medical provider, psychologist, psychiatrist,
or PhD educational specialist. If the client is suspected of having ADHD but has not been
4. ADHD and CAMModalities
Page | 4
formally diagnosed, a CAM provider must refer to one of the above providers for testing and
analysis because other conditions like nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, or
allergy/sensitivities can mimic attentional and behavioral problems.
Integrative Perspective of Causes
The dietary intake pattern of general populations in Asian and American countries often
reflects many nutrient deficiencies, especially essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty
acids. Rao, Asha, Ramesh, and Rao (2008) report, that “few people are aware of the connection
between nutrition and depression while they easily understand the connection between
nutritional deficiencies and physical illness. A notable feature of the diets of patients suffering
from mental disorders is the severity of deficiency in these nutrients”.
The Western diet is inflammatory. In sensitive individuals, an inflammatory diet may cause
symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, aggression, irritability, and mood swings (Bube, 2013;
Sears 2011; Feingold n.d.). Research is also suggestive of toxic buildup in sensitive individual’s
systems which can contribute to the symptoms of ADHD. The Western diet is unable to
eliminate environmental or food contaminants and likely intensifies these symptoms. Murray and
Pizzorno (2010) hypothesize that dietary alterations may serve as a useful tool to detoxify
individuals unable to eliminate toxic buildup.
Specialized Integrative Analysis
Increasing evidence demonstrates that many adolescents with behavioral problems are
sensitive to >1 food components that negatively impact their behavior. Schnoll, Burshteyn, and
Cea-Aravena (2003) found that individual response was an important factor for determining the
proper approach to treating children with ADHD. Artificial food colors (AFCs) have not been
established as the main cause of ADHD, but accumulated evidence suggests that a subgroup
5. ADHD and CAMModalities
Page | 5
shows significant symptom improvement when consuming an AFC-free diet and reacts with
ADHD-type symptoms on challenge with AFCs. Of children with suspected sensitivities, 65% to
89% reacted when challenged with at least 100 mg of AFC. Oligoantigenic diet studies
suggested that some children in addition to being sensitive to AFCs are also sensitive to common
nonsalicylate foods (milk, chocolate, soy, eggs, wheat, corn, legumes) as well as salicylate-
containing grapes, tomatoes, and orange (Stevens, Kuczek, Burgess, Hurt, Arnold 2011;
Feingold n.d.; Murray and Pizzorno 2010).
Reactive hypoglycemia is a commonly undiagnosed problem that manifests as symptoms of
ADHD, treatment includes eating protein and a complex carbohydrate about every two hours to
avoid the spikes and extreme drops in blood sugars which cause irritability, agitation,
restlessness, hyperactivity, poor concentration, and fatigue. Dr. Barry Sears (2011) reports
inflammation of the brain cells results in increased neurological disorders, including ADHD.
Integrative Support Protocols
Integrative ADHD support protocols are designed to help maintain focus and concentration;
as well as channel frustrations, anxiety, and energy. Whole foods diet is a key CAM Therapy in
the management of ADHD and is comprised of an organic nutrient dense whole foods diet that
omits food aggravators. Because nutrient deficiencies are common in ADHD; supplementation
with minerals, the B vitamins, omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, flavonoids, and the
essential phospholipid phosphatidylserine can ameliorate ADHD symptoms. Nutritional factors
such as food additives, refined sugars, food sensitivities/allergies, and fatty acid deficiencies
have all been linked to ADHD. There is increasing evidence that many children with behavioral
problems are sensitive to one or more food components that can negatively impact their behavior
(Schnoll, Burshteyn, and Cea-Aravena, 2000). When individually managed with
6. ADHD and CAMModalities
Page | 6
supplementation, dietary modification, detoxification, correction of intestinal dysbiosis, and
other features of a holistic program of management, the ADHD subject can lead a normal and
productive life (Kidd, 2000).
Dietary Support
The following steps have been useful in decreasing ADHD symptoms in the table below.
Step Rationale
1. Treat reactive hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can mimic ADHD
2. Consume an anti-inflammatory whole foods diet. Inflammation has been implicated in ADHD
3. Eliminate all caffeine, sodas,prepared/prepackaged
foods,candy, and cookies.
Food colors, preservatives,flavorings, and additives can
cause behavioral issues in sensitive individuals.
4. Eat whole low-processed foods like eggs,meats,
cheeses,fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts,seeds,and
legumes.
A whole /low processed foods diet is anti-inflammatory and
decreases food sensitive triggers.
5. Avoid all white flour, refined sugars,high fructose
corn syrup,artificial colors & additives.
These foods are implicated in contributory to symptoms of
ADHD.
6. Consume a low gluten, low casein diet. These foods have been helpful in some individuals sensitive
to casein & gluten.
7. Make whole foods appealing by choosing color,
variety, and textures.
A varied diet may help avoid food triggers and cravings &
is higher in anti-oxidants.
8. Drink large amounts of fresh filtered water, to help
brain and body cells function properly and flush out
body toxins.
Chemical water additives have been implicated in
environmental causes of ADHD; fresh water flushes out
toxins.
9. Keep weight healthy and monitor it regularly. Obesity and ADHD are directly linked.
10. Ingest appropriate levels of high dose
micronutrients.
Micronutrients help to correct nutritional imbalances, boost
the immune system,& help detoxify the body.
11. Get 60 minutes of physical activity/exercise daily. Physical activity increases circulation; helping to detoxify
the body,& channels excess energy.
Food Supplement Therapy (Vitamins & Minerals)
CAM providers have found food supplements help decrease ADHD symptoms (see table 2).
Name Rationale Caution
Vitamin C Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
improved the behavior in persons w/ ADHD
L-carnitine formed from an amino acid and helps cells in the
body produce energy
- A study found that 54% of a group of boys with
ADHD showed behavioral improvement
-no studies exist on safe use in children
-may also worsen hypothyroid symptoms,
interact with some medications, and lower
seizure threshold persons with previous
seizure history
7. ADHD and CAMModalities
Page | 7
Vitamin B6 Adequate levels of vitamin B6 are needed for the
body to make and use brain chemicals, including
serotonin,dopamine, and norepinephrine
- B6 pyridoxine was slightly more effective than
Ritalin in improving behavior among hyperactive
children.
High doses ofVitamin B6 can be dangerous
and cause nerve damage
GABA Is a neurotransmitter in the brain and is the main
inhibitory neurotransmitter, resulting in
calming effects.
Essential
fatty acids
from fish oil
(omega-3
fatty acids)
play a key role in normal brain function
- Studies reveal that children with ADHD who take
the oil supplements for a period of three months,
showsignificant improvements in spelling, reading,
and behavior.
-use with caution as high doses may increase
the risk of bleeding
Iron - ADHD kids tend to have low ferritin levels ( iron
storage protein)
-Low iron alters dopamine activity & slows brain
development
Iron levels must be analyzed before
instituting treatment.
Magnesium Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include
irritability, decreased attention span,and mental
confusion
- A study of75 magnesium-deficient children with
ADHD, those who received magnesium supplements
showed an improvement in behavior compared to
those who did not receive the supplements
Caution should be exercised as magnesium
can interfere with certain medications,
including antibiotics and blood pressure
medications and be dangerous.
Zinc regulates the activity of brain chemicals, fatty acids,
& melatonin which are related to behavior; helps
regulate the function of the neurotransmitter
dopamine; Research shows that zinc significantly
reduces hyperactivity and impulsivity; Low zinc is
related to weakened intestinal integrity
Adult women who are pregnant or
breastfeeding should limit their intake of zinc
to 40 mg per day to avoid pregnancy or
infant development complications.
Botanical Therapy
Herbs help to strengthen and tone the body's systems; several botanical formulations for
ADHD management are sold in the United States and Europe, but few scientific studies
have investigated whether these herbs improve symptoms of ADHD. Herbs are formulated as
dried extracts (capsules, powders, teas), glycerites (glycerine extracts), or tinctures (alcohol
extracts). One or more of the following botanicals may be recommended for reducing ADHD
symptoms people (see table 3 below):
Name Rationale Caution
Bacopa (Bacopa monnie
ri)
aka brahmi
sedative and improves anxiety &hyperacti
vity;
improves memory and concentration
Can cause temporary hearing loss in
women, interacts w/estrogen therapy
8. ADHD and CAMModalities

Roman chamomile
(Chamaemelum nobile).
Calming;
relieves allergies, inflammation, & insom
nia
-may cause an allergic reaction in people
sensitive to Ragweed;
-may have estrogen-like effects
--use with caution in hormone-related
conditions,(ie. breast, uterine, or ovarian
cancers, or endometriosis).
-can interact with some medications
Evening Primrose
Oenothera biennis
(contains Omega 3 Fatty
Acids, Linoleic Acid,
Gamma Linoleic Acid &
omega-6 fatty acids)
lack of various polyunsaturated fatty
acids can contribute to attention deficit
hyperactivity
Lowers seizure threshold in persons
taking anti-epileptics, schizophrenic meds
Ginkgo Biloba(Gingko
biloba)
-used to improve memory & mental
sharpness; improves inattention &
immaturity problems; increases blood
flow to the brain; helps w/ADHD sx that
affect intellectual functions
- used with caution in diabetes,seizures,
infertility, & bleeding disorders
-can interact with meds (esp. blood-
thinning agents)
Ginseng (American or
Siberian)
American ginseng
(Panax quinquefolium)
- known for memory boosting benefits
- increases brain levels of
neurotransmitters dopamine and
norepinephrine
-- Imbalances lead to disruption in
attention span,motor behavioral
dysfunctions,and auditory processing
delays.
- One study found gingko along
w/ginseng improved ADHD sx
American ginseng caution in diabetes,
hormone-sensitive conditions,insomnia,
or schizophrenia
-can interact (esp blood-thinning agents)
Gotu Kola (Centella
asiatica)
improves memory, concentration
& mental fatigue
breast feeding women and pregnant
women must avoid the use
Grapeseed Extract protects from excitotoxins
Hawthorn Relieves acting out & stops inflammation
caused by allergies
Interacts w/cardiac meds, not indicated
for use in children, pregnancy,or
lactation
Lemon balm
(Melissa officinalis)
gentle, safe calming herb for anxiety
& depression; relaxes
nervous system, eases agitation.
avoided by individuals affected by
glaucoma
Passionflower
(Passiflora incarnata)
calming sedative that causes less drowsin
ess than drugs
-may interact with sedative medications.
Scullcap Indicated for aggressive & agitated
persons; helps decrease
anxiety, restlessness,crying spells, irritabi
lity, &nervousness.
Useful daytime sedative that works
w/o drowsiness;
prevents allergic reactions.
-may decrease leukocyte count
-use undersupervision as can damage the
liver
St. John’s Wort
(Hypericum perforatum)
nervine tonic, antidepressant,
regulates mood and attention;
inhibiting the
reuptake of serotonin, inhibits the reupta
ke of norepinephrine and dopamine w/eq
ual affinity;
has an affinity for GABA receptors
Interacts w/other meds, esp anti-
depressants
Valerian (Valerian increase in concentration and abilities and -can interact with some meds

officinalis) energy levels -can induce drowsiness
-can interact with sedative meds
Digestion/Apsorption of Nutrients
Maximum absorption of key nutrients is essential for overall body health and nervous system
function. Digestive enzymes can increase nutrients and supplement absorption; many persons
note improvement in ADHD symptoms when taking broad-spectrum enzyme or those targeting
specific compounds.
Digestive Enzymes Rationale
Amylase breaks down carbohydrates,starches,&sugars
Cellulase breaks down cellulose, plant fiber
Protease breaks down proteins (found in meats, eggs,cheese,and nuts
Lipase breaks down fats (found in most dairy products,meats, oils, and nuts)
Papaya digestive
enzymes
Important for food/nutrient breakdown & assimilation
Homeopathy
Homeopathic remedies address each person's constitutional type -- physical, emotional, and
psychological makeup; an experienced homeopath assesses these factors when determining the
most appropriate individual’s treatment. One study of 43 ADHD diagnosed children, showed
significant improvement in behavior when they received an individualized homeopathic remedy
compared to children who received a placebo. Homeopathic remedies found to be most effective
included: Stramonium, for children who are fearful, especially at night; Cina -- for children who
are irritable and dislike being touched; whose behavior is physical and aggressive; and
Hyoscyamus niger -- for children who have poor impulse control, talk excessively, or act overly
exuberant (Wisegeek, 2013).
SleepHygiene
Persons with ADHD often have disordered sleep patterns that contribute to behavior and
10. ADHD and CAMModalities
Page | 10
attention issues. Stimulant medications prescribed for ADHD often disrupts sleeping patterns
causing insomnia. Melatonin helps to promote sleep in persons with ADHD and may improve
behavioral and attention (Wisegeek, 2013).. Experts suggest melatonin is effective when taken
for 3 weeks on and one week off (Sears, 2011).
Adjunctive CAM techniques
Yoga, meditation, and self-calming activities, along with increased physical activity (walking,
weight lifting, swimming and biking have been useful in persons with attentional issues.
Massage
Relaxation techniques and massage can reduce anxiety and activity levels in children
adolescents, and adults with ADHD. In one study, teenage boys with ADHD who received 15
minutes of massage for 10 consecutive school days showed significant improvement in behavior
and concentration compared to those who were guided in progressive muscle relaxation for the
same duration of time (WiseGeek, 2013).
Biofeedback
Mind/body techniques such as hypnotherapy, progressive relaxation, and biofeedback may be
useful in treating individuals with ADHD. Through these techniques, individuals are often able
to learn coping skills they can use for the rest of their lives. These treatments allow persons to
gain a sense of control and mastery, increase self esteem, and decrease stress. Biofeedback
operates on the principle that individuals can be trained to modify brain activity associated with
ADHD and increase brain activity associated with attention. Several studies have shown positive
results (Burton, 2008).

Summary
Further research is needed in the area of CAM ADHD botanical and food supplement therapy
and management; as well as the dietary and environmental influences that cause inflammation in
ADHD. Children, Adolescents, and adults respond differently to ADHD treatments and need a
variety of modalities available to address their unique needs beyond Allopathic prescription
medications.
