Staying Focused, Treating ADD and ADHD, Help for Mild Depression, Alzheimers and Dementia

Surprisingly DMAE can help all of these

DMAE is one of the few things that will go through the brain barrier and assist those who are unable to focus. DMAE is short for Dimethylaminoethanol. Another name it is known by is deanol. The molecule is part of a structural derivative  of one of the B vitamins and a forerunner of acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter. It is a molecule involved in the transmission of messages between nerve cells in the central nervous system.

In more layman terminology, let me explain how this works by relating our son’s story. After several boyish misadventures that almost stopped our hearts, he developed an inability to read and focus and process information. I was frantic. We took him to countless doctors and ophthalmologists and optometrists and came away without any improvement. As we became involved in natural medicines and found our Naturopathic Doctor (ND) , she had our son take DMAE to increase his focus. We had far greater results than any of us expected. In a few weeks, he was very much more focused and his reading level went up 2-3 grades.

Because some of his problem was damage to his eye control, we were finally led to find an optometrist that did eye therapy. Between the DMAE and the eye therapy, our son regained much of what he had lost. At first our son took just the DMAE, but when he was in college he took the combination formula, Focus Attention, before tests or when he was finding it hard to focus. He should have been taking it every day but even with his infrequent use, he was benefited by taking it only occasionally.

Stressed? Unfocused?

Our company, Nature’s Sunshine Products, sells a combination called Focus Attention. Here is a list of the benefits and what is in the product. I will explain what each item does below.

Benefits:
•Provides important nutrients for normal brain-stimulation levels.
•Helps modulate brain activity and energy levels.
•Supports blood circulation and neurotransmitters in the brain.
It encourages restful, balanced mental activity. Available in capsules and a great-tasting powder drink mix. It is purported to help with obtaining good, restful sleep.

Focus Attention (90 caps), Focus Attention Powder (3.3 oz.) contains Ginkgo biloba, DMAE and Melissa officinalis for normal brain function.
Ginkgo Biloba enhances alertness, memory, and helps with focusing. This herb alone works wonders but it does take time for results to be seen. When combined with the other two ingredients, results are quickened.
DMAE has been shown to:

• Improve mental sharpness.
• Decrease drowsiness.
• Improve cognitive impairment.
• Supports blood circulation and neurotransmitters in the brain.
• Improve memory loss that occurs in normal aging.
• Relieve hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and inattention as effectively as Ritalin.
• Slow the progressive dementia of Alzheimer’s Disease
• May help to remove toxins in the brain
• Helps to alleviate stress
• Helps to insure restful sleep
  

Melissa officinalis (also called Lemon Balm) is used for lifting a melancholy spirit, treating mild depression, nervous indigestion, insomnia, migraines, and is claimed to improve memory and the attention span in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.

Other herbs  or herbal combinations that you may consider are:

Passion Flower (100 caps)

Passion flower has been used and tested in Europe and especially in Germany for the use of ADD and ADHD as well as for anxiety, insomnia, and depression.

Nutri-Calm® (100 tabs) This contains the Vitamin B’s that are so helpful in nerve health and several herbs that are calming. One of which is the Passion Flower herb that helps to keep a person calm, relaxed, and able to rest.

Stress-J (100 caps) This also contains Passion Flower.

Lecithin (270 caps)

Brain Protex w/Huperzine A (60 caps) Clink on this link to get much more information on this product.

Benefits:
•May help block the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, helping to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholin an important neurotransmitter.
•Supports circulation throughout the body as well as to and within the brain.
•Protects capillaries and strengthens the blood–brain barrier.
•Helps support and protect proper brain function.
•Neutralizes free radicals.

Essential Oils for calming and balancing

Essential oils can be used by just opening the lid and taking in a deep breath of the scent or can be used in a diffuser to fill a room with a calming, uplifting, balancing scent. Listed below are some suggestions. If you need more information, we do have an Essential Oils Guide (5) about our scents and how to use them. We also have Massage Oil (4 fl. oz.) so you can dilute some of the stronger oils and to use to massage the neck and shoulders to help them to relax.

Our massage oil is high in fatty acids and is very nourishing to the skin.Use it alone or as a carrier oil for NSP’s 100 percent pure essential oils. This is an excellent oil for older skin. For the infirm patient or the dementia patient, this oil can be used on the hands and feet alone or mixed with an essential oil and can bring them into a gentler state of relaxation. Some older people or someone of any age may be more agitated by touch and I would suggest a diffuser or allowing them to just breathe in the scent from the bottle. With those that are emotional or exciteable, we have to consider what would work best for them.

Bergamot BIO (5 ml) an uplifting scent

*Chamomile, Roman (5 ml) a calming scent

*Cinnamon Leaf (5 ml) like apple pie baking in the oven, smelling cinnamon is like getting an emotional hug.

Clary Sage (5 ml) has an inspiring, regenerating aroma that is balancing and relaxing.

Frankincense (5 ml) has an aroma that is centering, comforting and elevating.

*Geranium (5 ml) every day, I open this bottle and breath in the calming and centering aroma.

*Patchouli (5 ml) this scent is soothing and calming and blends well with Chamomile and Geranium.

Lavender Fine AOC (5ml) another oil that I use often. This calming oil can be rubbed on the shoulders of an agitated infant or child – just use a dot of oil – or onto your forehead when you have a headache. Combines well with most oils and works really well with Peppermint (5 ml. Peppermint is more of a cooling scent. It can also be rubbed on the abdomen for an upset stomach or over the gall bladder area to soothe the gall bladder, used on the forehead for headaches, and when combined with Lavender it is cooling and soothing in nature.

*Marjoram, Sweet (5 ml) has a warm, soothing fragrance that calms yet strengthens.

*Myrrh (5 ml) a peaceful scent.

*Neroli (2 ml) a fresh, floral aroma that brightens the spirits and clears the mind.

Rose Bulgaria (2 ml) Especially for women! but it is calming and relaxing. Great for women’s skin. Good to blend with Geranium or Neroli.

*Sandalwood (5 ml) this is calming, balancing, and harmonizing.

Ylang Ylang Complete BIO (5 ml) is also calming and balancing and combines well with Neroli and Patchouli.

Diffusers we have:

Aroma Plug-in Diffuser

Nebulizing Diffuser and Nebulizer Maintenance Kit

The Immune Strengthening Herb

The Herb that has real muscles to fight infection and free radicals in the system – Astragalus

Astragalus has been primarily tested and used by the Chinese but the US is catching up.

Astragalus is an herb that contains polysaccharides (glucoses that we need), betaine (improves DNA/genes, is of a polymer form, and is a sweet crystalline quaternary ammonium salt C₅H₁₁NO),  flavonoids, saponins, trace minerals, selenium, and beta-sitosterol. It is an herb that is of the legume (bean) family and the root or rhizome is the part that is used. In the herbal world it is labeled as antiviral, carminative (expels gas from the digestive system), antispasmodic (calms spasms, coughing, and cramping), hepatic (strengthens the liver, increases bile, and tones the liver). After what I have read, I would certainly add cardiac (strengthens the heart), cell proliferant (promotes cell growth-T cells in particular), tonic (invigorates and stimulates the tone and energy of the body, and stimulate (it increases energy).

Embarking on the road to find the uses of this herb, I stumbled on some of the most incredible information and findings thus far. The breakdown alone of this herb is staggering. This herb contains carbohydrates that are soluble and usable in our bodies. The polysaccharides (a beta-glucan carbohydrate) can trigger our white blood cells into production in order to fight foreign substances, pathogens, viruses or even cancer cells. We have T-cells and B-cells in our blood. If I have gleaned this correctly, the T-cells are watchers for free radical cells and we all have cells such as these. The T-cells alert the B-cells where these are and the B-cells will go in like a Pac Man and destroy them before they can form a shield around themselves and begin to reproduce and attack other good cells. Well, was I impressed! All cells have a ticking clock. They only live for so long and that goes for the free radical cells or irregular cells too. They just self destruct in a certain length of time but if these cells are left unchecked, they will form that impenetrable wall which leaves our bodies with a real fight on its’ hands.

Back to the Astragalus herb. What it does, is to encourage good cell growth, builds the immune, protects the heart against viral myocardia, which is a virus that attacks the heart, has been tested against the heart medicine called nifedipine, which is used for angina pain and has multiple side effects, and it was found to work better 80% of the time and without any side effects. This herb is also good for the improvement of glucose tolerance, for energy, and encourages our bodies to produce interferon. This herb is heralded as a stem cell growth activator! Astragalus is said to fight chronic respiratory infections, to aid in recovery from both cancer and the side effects of cancer therapy, and to enhance the health of  HIV patients. Have read that it should be what you have on hand to fight the H1N1 virus and other viruses. Another very interesting fact that shows the diversity of  this herb is that it can be used to heal burns.

The cautions I read were that if you have Lupus or another autoimmune disease, if you are  pregnant, or on medications for the heart or for other illnesses, that you are not to take this herb. All herbs are medications and there can be contraindications so if you are suffering from any chronic illness or any of the above mentioned situations, you need to be wise and always consult your physician before adding anything else into your daily regime of medications! Remember, even herbal teas are medicines. Just be wise and talk to your doctor or ND.

Here are a few studies that have been done on the Astragalus herb.

This site quotes several people that I follow regarding their herbal advice and have their books.

http://clareswinney.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/dr-weil-was-right-astragalus-herb-really-helps-fight-influenza/

Even though I am very much against animal testing, the next site is about testing that was done on weaned, young  pigs and how this herb helped them. It does give good information regarding the beta-glucan in the herb. You will find many studies, if you read up on this herb, that are done on the polysaccharides that the Astragalus contains and the benefits of each of these basic carbohydrates.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16282615

National Key Lab of Animal Nutrition, China Agricultural University, Beijing, 100094, P.R. China.

For more information just Google … studies on astragalus. You will get some interesting and highly technical reports. At first most of the testing was done in China but we have hopped on the wagon and have been testing the uses of the herb and what the components of the herb can do for us.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E Complete with Selenium (400 IU) (200 softgel caps), Vitamin E Complete with Selenium (400 IU) (60 softgel caps) has been studied as much as Vitamin C has been. Vitamin E works best in the system if it is taken with the mineral Selenium. Likes being with Vitamin A too.

E has been used for heart conditions, veins and circulatory, Cystitis (Bladder), Colitis, Acne, Burns, Bruises, Anemia, Angina pectoris, Arteriosclerosis, Atherosclerosis, Bruising, Coronary Thrombosis, Diabetes, Hypertension, Pernicious anemia, Phlebitis, Stroke, Thrombophlebitis, Miscarriages,  increasing fertility, healing wounds, diminishing  or preventing scar tissue, lightening or removing brown patches on the skin, preventing muscular dystrophy in babies when taken by pregnant women, helping with menopausal symptoms, protecting lungs against pollution, preventing cholesterol problems when combined with Vitamin A, helps enhance Vitamin A activity in the body, helps with fatigue, helps with migraine headaches, may retard cancer, helping to prevent premature aging, helping the eyes to focus clearly by stopping the breakdown of cells, stopping cold sores, and so much more. The list would take pages and pages to get it all on here.

Now here is another interesting fact. I knew E was a good antioxidant but I just read that it is raises the body’s defenses against viruses. If you were to feel the flu coming on, you could increase your E to help build your immunity. You should only increase it by 100 IUs a day. Increasing Vitamin E should not be done by people with high blood pressure or heart problems. If you have either of these conditions but want to raise the amount you are taking, you need to talk to your physician or ND. It can be done but you must be monitored.

One of my doctor’s had told me that you can start with Vitamin E (100 IU) (180 softgel caps) and build up to 400 IUs. It is easier on your system this way. He did tell me that studies were being done on the use of 800 IUs a day for women to prevent breast cancer. The research I have read  has been conflicting. One thing I do know for a fact, is that I had a lump and they were going to test it. Before my recheck appointment I had a week or two so I rubbed Vitamin E on the area every morning and evening and the lump disappeared. There wasn’t anything for them to test. I also cut out caffeine too. I try to remember to use E on my skin at least once a week especially on the chest area.

There are things that do destroy Vitamin E and one of them is to take it with an inorganic Iron source. What harms the E in foods and keeps your body from absorbing it is high heat, freezing, and chlorine. Vitamin E is best taken at bedtime and should not be taken at the same time as you are taking Iron or a Multiple Vitamin and Mineral that contains Iron.

Vitamin E can be found in cold pressed vegetable oils, whole wheat, whole grains,  whole grain cereals, soybeans, nuts, seeds, molasses, eggs, sweet potatoes, broccoli,  brussel sprouts, and green leafy vegetables.

Signs of deficiency are broken veins, anemia, bloating, gastrointestinal problems, muscle degeneration, not being able to carry pregnancy to term, sterility in men, shrinkage of collagen and in connective tissue, destruction of red blood cells, and the fatty acids that your body needs changes drastically, the blood cells break down, and also that the hemoglobin formation is weakened. A deficiency of E can cause damage to the liver and kidneys as well.

Vitamin E is stored in the liver but only for a few days and has to be replenished.

I knew E  benefited your circulatory system, that it had removed scars on my skin, is now removing the brown spots on my face, that it was a good antioxidant, but I did not know how truly good it was for you until I wrote this article.  There is so much more to read about regarding this vitamin.

Suffice it to say that this vitamin is an every day must.

Addison’s Disease

This adrenal disease can only be handled by an MD or ND (naturopathic doctor). It must be carefully monitored but the successes I am hearing about are by ND’s. I have provided a list of ND’s and other doctors that treat in a more natural way and of safe, dependable chiropractors to help you find the help you need. If you know of any good ND’s, please let me know so I can contact them and see if I can add them to my referral list.

http://endocrine.niddk.nih.gov/pubs/addison/addison.htm

The above link has a full description of the disease. From their list of symptoms:

The symptoms of adrenal insufficiency usually begin gradually. The most common symptoms are:

• chronic or worsening fatigue
• muscle weakness
• loss of appetite
• weight loss

Other symptoms can include

• nausea
• vomiting
• diarrhea
• low blood pressure that falls further when standing, causing dizziness or fainting
• irritability and depression
• a craving for salty foods due to salt loss
• hypoglycemia, or low blood glucose
• headache
• sweating
• in women, irregular or absent menstrual periods

Other symptoms could be darkening of the skin on scars, in skin folds,elbows, knees, knuckles, and toes; lips; and mucous membranes such as the lining of the cheek.

Here is the Mayo clinic site for more information: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/addisons-disease/DS00361

It seems to hold much of the same info as the link above but it is always good to do a lot of reading on a disease you or a loved one might have. The more you know, the better your questions will be when you see your ND or MD.

I will add more info as I find it. Look for my new tab on referrals. Will try to post that 11/7/09

The Flu, Pregnancy and Herbs

For full information about pregnancy, please go to the tab that says “Women’s Concerns”.  I have listed extensive information about pregnancy, concerns and good health on that page. Here is a quick list of  safe herbs and supplements that you can take during pregnancy for the flu. This list sticks to the more conservative side because extensive testing on herbs during pregnancy has not been done but I am hoping it will be done eventually. Any supplements that you may want to try or take while you have the flu or another virus or bacterial infection must be talked over with your health care giver. My information has come from combined sources of the FDA, my ND, and from my own research. I list only the ones that have commonality. Listed are two that are asked about the most often but cannot be taken.

Herbs are medicines! You must understand this. Just because it says it is a tea does not make it safe for you to drink. You must keep your doctor, ND, or midwife apprised of what you are taking or drinking.

Echinacea: There are only a few clinical tests that have been done regarding the safety of  Echinacea taken during pregnancy. There just is not enough testing that has been done and would not risk my baby’s health or well being without having sufficient information that Echinacea is safe to take during pregnancy. Echinacea is not recommended for children under the age of two so that should tell you that your baby, that you are carrying, should not be given that either. If you are getting ill, I would suggest taking extra Vitamin C, drinking  Red Raspberry Tea and Chamomile Tea, and continue taking Kelp which releases Iodine from the Thyroid gland and acts as an infection fighter. Even taking really hot baths is not recommended for the baby. If you are getting sick, I would take a good soak in the tub but only using warm water, bundle up, and get into bed and rest. Take a big glass of water with you and sip the water. If you begin to run a fever, definitely contact your doctor or midwife and keep them apprised of your condition.

Goldenseal: Goldenseal is a definite no no during pregnancy as it can bring on bleeding or even miscarriage.

Raspberry: Is very good for you. It keeps the muscles in the womb  nourished but it also keeps you from any spontaneous bleeding. It is extremely nutritious as it is high in minerals and vitamins.

Rose Hips: Is full of vitamin C and is a safe infection fighter.

Peppermint Tea: Can be safe and useful if you are ill but should be taken in small amounts. I would suggest no more than one to two small cups a day. If you are feeling unwell, brew a cup and just sip from it occasionally to relieve stomach upset and to lower fever.

Alfalfa: Is considered by the FDA to be safe in small amounts while pregnant. It is filled with minerals. A green drink would be the best way to take this. Put a few teaspoons in a a cup of water and use a little of it as a gargle. You should gargle for 10 seconds or more and then just swallow it. Only use a few ounces from the cup, at a time, throughout the day. One cup will last you all day. There is always a salt water gargle that you can use in between for a sore throat too. Our green drinks are listed below. Chlorophyll works wonders on a sore throat. I have seen it clear up strep pockets in the throat in as few as 2 times of gargling.

Chamomile Tea: Is considered safe but again I would suggest no more than 2 cups in a day. It is safe for babies in small amounts so it is undoubtedly safe during pregnancy.  As with all medicines, you must be cautious.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata

This condition seems to come on without warning and could very well clear itself up in a year. There are times when it does not improve and will in fact become worse. There are many different studies that have been done but the ones that seem to have the best result are the natural ones.

Onion juice applied to the area twice a day, in one study, showed that in an 8 week period of time that there was a big improvement and regrowth of hair. There have been studies using essential oils and there was an improvement whereas the placebo group had little or no improvement.  The oils that were used were Thyme Linalol BIO, Sweet (5 ml), Rosemary (5 ml), Lavender Fine AOC (5ml), and cedarwood (we do not offer this oil) essential oils  mixed with Jojoba Oil (0.5 fl. oz.) or grapeseed oil. This testing went on for 7 months. Again, the ones using the oils showed good if not great results while the placebo group had a few that improved and the rest had little or no change.

This link will give you the general information on the condition and it also states that the medical treatments only seem to help some and those that they do help are in the first stages of Alopecia Areata. Several other articles I read said the same thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alopecia_areata

There is not any one thing that can be pinpointed regarding this skin and hair condition but it does seem connected with stress. Some have found help with acupuncture or massage to relieve stress but there does not seem to be tests or charts of tests that show that this would help.

If there is a correlation to stress, I would feed the nerves with herbs and B vitamins, take good vitamins, eat healthy, and make sure I was sleeping well.

Here are some suggestions and combinations that may be of help to you.

Thyme Linalol BIO, Sweet (5 ml)

Rosemary (5 ml)Must be combined with Jojoba oil or Grapeseed oil.  Do not put directly on the skin without diluting it.

Jojoba Oil (0.5 fl. oz.) is an excellent oil to use on the scalp.

To relieve stress:

For Children use Calming (1 fl. oz.), Herbasaurs®.  Also consider our  other Children’s Health Products. visit my website at

Vitamin B-Complex (100 caps) Take B vitamins together for the best results and take in the morning. B vitamins are notorious for giving you lots of energy and may keep you awake at night.

On our page of our products that feed the nervous system you will find a list of different supplements to fee the nerves. When you go to the website just click on the section for the Nervous System. Nutra Calm is one that I highly recommend.

THE FLU! I have help for you!

Fighting the Flu for you

Under the tab for Virus/Bacterial Infections you will find a long list of how to combat the flu but here are a few things I had not added yet.

BOOMERANG AIR SYSTEM

This amazing unit kills airborne microbes and neutralizes pollen and particulates, making the air you breathe cleaner and less harmful. The unit sanitizes 2,000 square feet of open living space, and it requires no cleaning or filter replacement. If you order this, by signing up to be a member under me, I will send you an extra bottle of Silver Shield. Also, I will supply you with as much good health information as you need, you can be put on my monthly email for herbal updates, you will not be required to order ever, but when you do order the second time, shipping is free, and every order you place will be at membership prices for a year. If you decide to sell Nature’s Sunshine Products, as your manager, I will help you as much as you need and you will have free training through the company and by a company that goes beyond all testing requirements. If you have any questions, just email me and I will get back to you right away.

Tea Tree Oil (0.5 fl. oz.) , when used in a diffuser or nebulizer will clean the air of viruses. My suggestion would be to use the nebulizer but the plug-in is great for bedrooms to kill off the germs and viruses that can become airborne with coughing and sneezing. It also works wonderfully on humidifiers that puts off warm, moist air. You just put some drops in the well on the top – never on the inside with the water. I have not tried it with cool air humidifiers but would assume that it would not put the oil into the air.

My daughter was coming down with a cold and I ran the Tea Tree oil on the humidifier and she took Silver Shield and rested, the next day she was fine! No symptoms! 11/28/09

Aroma Plug-in Diffuser

The Aromaball Diffuser allows you to use a few drops of essential oils to freshen up a room. The diffuser comes with 10 absorbent cards to which you apply a few drops of oil. Simply slip the card into the diffuser, and plug into a wall socket.

Nebulizing Diffuser

Nebulizing Diffuser (from France) features silent operation and an output control that easily diffuses over a 300–600 square-foot area. Our diffuser ionizes undiluted essential oils into an ultra-fine vapor that remains suspended in the air for maximum availability and minimum waste.

For ordering any of these wonderful products see my website or click on the links above:
