DrMichael E Platts Breakthrough in Hormone Therapy for Attention Deficit...

April 5, 2005 -- There are many kids struggling in school today because of difficulties focusing. The reason for this inability to pay attention in class or to do homework is that they are hypoglycemic. Any time sugar is taken from the brain, it cannot focus. The reason for the low sugars is that they are over-producing insulin. Because of hypoglycemia there is a persistent craving for foods that provide sugar i.e. fruit juice, soda, candy, etc.



Very often kids with ADD have a weight problem since they are continuously eating high glycemic carbohydrates.



So what about ADHD This condition starts out the same way - too much insulin leading to low sugar levels. However, kids with ADHD have to contend with another hormone, namely adrenalin.



Kids with ADHD are usually thin. The hyperactivity burns up the sugar before it's converted to fat for storage. Often times the hyperactivity is masked by the child being actively involved in sports.



Kids with ADHD are treated with drugs such as Ritalin, Adderal, Strattera, etc. However, approaching these conditions from a hormonal standpoint eliminates these conditions in most cases without having to resort to using medication.
