As many other kids, my son developed about 5 ear infections during his
first year of life. The treatment was always the same: antibiotics.
If we use simple words, antibiotics are poisons that are used to kill. With
use of antibiotics not only the bad micro bacteria is killed but also the
good one. Humans have good bacteria protecting our stomach and intestines. So
what happens when that good protective layer is destroyed?
The worst part occurs on our intestines, they become permeable, which
means they would allow fecal material to penetrate through its walls and
gets into the blood system.
When the blood is contaminated in such way, the person would
present symptoms alike to those related with the ADHD.
On my personal experience, I went to our local natural food store
and got some organic probiotics pills, we follow the instructions, and I noticed
a change on his sleeping habits: he stopped teeth grinding. This small
change also helped him get a better rest while sleeping. It's probably
that when his blood stopped being poisoned the anxiety levels went down
too.
It's very important to take probiotics after being treated with antibiotics.
A good source of probiotics is yogurts, which contents the live bacteria to
help restore our system. But if you are not a great fan of yogurt, there
are plenty of probiotics pills on the market.
It is good to mention again, that ADHD symptoms should not be treated as
vacation package where you buy everything with one payment. ADHD is much more
than that. You need to identify every symptom of the condition; isolate it and address
it.
Please leave your comments! Have you used antibiotics?
