The article points out lots of issues with Adderall and Ritalin including: "...they neither improve school achievement nor reduce behavior problems. The drugs can also have serious side effects, including stunting growth."&lt;br /&gt;Many ADD/ADHD clients are finding Brain Wave Optimization very helpful. &amp;nbsp;This includes both adults and children and no drugs are used.&lt;br /&gt;The husband of one client at Brain Integration Institute, A CIHH provider, noted after just a few days of a 10 day "Intensive" that she had started to speak in whole sentences which he had not known her to do.&lt;br /&gt;Why not try letting a brain correct itself by balancing itself--instead of chemicals.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7172035259272787523-3699516239742759414?l=cihh-brevard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cihh-brevard.blogspot.com/feeds/3699516239742759414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cihh-brevard.blogspot.com/2012/02/no-drugs-with-addadhd-and-brain-wave.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7172035259272787523/posts/default/3699516239742759414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7172035259272787523/posts/default/3699516239742759414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cihh-brevard.blogspot.com/2012/02/no-drugs-with-addadhd-and-brain-wave.html' title='No drugs with ADD/ADHD and Brain Wave Optimization'/><author><name>Charles Lefler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13729632280054706698</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172035259272787523.post-2162684921262486029</id><published>2011-12-29T19:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-29T19:04:06.261-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Current opportunities to help our community with tax-deductible donations</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Current opportunities to help our community with tax-deductible                     donations&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opportunity #1:&lt;/b&gt; A directed donation to decrease the                     suffering from ADD/ADHD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Center for Disease Control, approximately                     9.5% or 5.4 million children 4-17 years of age have been diagnosed                     with ADHD, as of 2007. The prevalence of parent-reported ADHD                     diagnosis varied substantially by state, from a low of 5.6%                     in Nevada to a high of 15.6% in North Carolina.&lt;br /&gt;Recent studies indicate that ADHD is one of the most costly                     health conditions in the US. The annual cost for ADHD is $77                     billion topped only by alcohol abuse and clearly ahead of                     drug abuse in terms of cost.&lt;br /&gt;Adults who were untreated for childhood ADHD are reported                     to have higher divorce rates, higher incidence of alcohol                     and drug abuse, more traffic accidents, lower self image and                     optimism, and lower levels of satisfaction with all levels                     of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;The human and monetary costs of this disorder can be devastating                     for individuals, families and communities. In a time when                     as a society we are taking too many drugs, even as children,                     effective, non-drug approaches to this debilitating problem                     commend themselves for consideration. Brainwave Optimization™                     available through The Brain Integration Institute has been                     shown to be transformative for many people with ADHD.&lt;br /&gt;A tax deductible gift of $36,000 to the Foundation for Integrated                     Health and Healing, a 501c3 non-profit, would allow 20 young                     people to experience this often life changing approach to                     ADD/ADHD and result in a nice tax break for the donor. Donations                     of any size are welcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opportunity #2:&lt;/b&gt; A directed donation to decrease spouse                     abuse related to alcohol abuse&lt;br /&gt;The consequences of the use of tobacco, alcohol and less                     socially acceptable drugs cost the citizens of the United                     States an estimated $609 billion annually. The human cost                     in terms of damage to individuals, relationships, businesses                     and communities is equally staggering.&lt;br /&gt;Consider the costs to taxpayers for incarcerating and then                     treating an alcoholic spouse abuser, often a repeat offender.                     The American Society of Addiction Medicine has recently stated                     that “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain                     reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry.” Brainwave                     Optimization™ is an advanced neuro-technology that effectively                     guides a brain back to its natural, healthy, balanced state.&lt;br /&gt;The brain is the control center for the entire body, including                     the autonomic nervous system which regulates our organs, muscles                     and overall physical well-being. Throughout our lives, emotional                     and physical trauma can cause brainwaves to become unbalanced,                     resulting in such behaviors as addictions, anger, depression,                     physical pain and illness, and general disconnection or hopelessness.                     Brainwave Optimization restores the brain to its natural high-functioning                     state through a safe, non-invasive process that requires no                     medication and has been proven effective with nearly 40,000                     clients.&lt;br /&gt;A one time tax deductible donation of $36,000 to the Foundation                     for Integrated Health and Healing will permit twenty consenting                     individuals to undergo the process of Brainwave Optimization™                     and begin to establish a more cost-effective alternative to                     conventional approaches.&lt;br /&gt;Brainwave Optimization with RTB™ is not intended to                     treat, cure, heal or diagnose any disease, mental illness                     or symptom. Brainwave Optimization with RTB™ is intended                     to balance and harmonize brain waves.

The Center offers healthcare                services provided by practitioners, each of whom has achieved                the top level of licensing and/or accreditation available in                their respective fields in North Carolina. Our patients/clients                appreciate the convenience of having all our services in one                location.&lt;br /&gt;The pursuit of optimal health is an important goal of many of                our patients/clients. Achieving balance and harmony in body,                mind, emotions, and spirit is commonly viewed as effective in                this quest. Lifestyle programs are offered to individuals, couples                and families. &lt;br /&gt;We view education of our patients/clients to be of utmost importance.
