Safety Concerns about ADD and ADHD Drugs Concerns about Medication - Ritalin Dangers

Both parents and professionals alike wonder over the safety of ADHD drugs, with the highest controversial methylphenidate (Ritalin) at the forefront. Numerous side-effects have been observed and recent studies confirm that these mediations are not the safest and most effective treatment for you or your child. The danger of Ritalin or other ADD medication sadly, becomes apparent only after numerous side-effects have developed. Ritalin dangers must be discussed with your family and child before a course of this drug has begun.
It's widely thought that pulse rate increasing stimulant use, combined with hypertension heart problems, could downgrade health. Methylphenidate deaths are very rare, and the majority of problems are thought to be caused by mixed drug interactions. Matthew Smith, a 14 year old boy reported in the news, died due to long term Ritalin use, which raised doubts amongst medical experts. His medical examiner made the claim diabetic children had a higher risk of developing heart problems.

Lemon "Aid" and Glass Straws

  

2 lemons and 1 tablespoon Raw Agave Syrup (less or more depends on how sweet/tart you like your lemon aid) makes a  healthy refreshing drink. Don't go over board with lemons they can also wear down the enamel on your teeth if you suck on them often. You can also drink from a glass straw http://ecochildsplay.com/2009/01/23/5-reasons-to-switch-from-plastic-straws-to-glass-straws/so the acid found in citrus fruits will not affect your enamel as much.

Karmen Kamla LMFT /Jungian Analysis and psychotherapy

Karmen Kamla LMFT, Jungian Analysis and psychotherapy 

At heart, I believe I am an artist, an artist of the soul.

My vocation as a depth psychotherapist, which Jung says "acts like a law of God" chose me.
I am profoundly and passionately committed to this vocation, and especially, the psyche.
This inner calling has led me to great depths internally and many distant places geographically, and it seems all to learn about the human being
in order to catch a glimpse into the inner life of the individual in suffering and pain as well as joy and celebration.
I have a Master in Arts Degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, California.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Candidate at the C.G. Jung Study Center of Southern California.
With over sixteen years experience in the field of psychology, I am currently serving as private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients.

Kookie Karma

I met Juli years ago, she is an amazing woman.
You can find her products at some West Coast markets like wholefoods or buy them on line. You will be very pleased, they are fresh and packed with goodness.

Handmade in our very own gluten-free commercial kitchen. We strive to offer you the freshest, best tasting raw and holistic snack products that we can. To do so we like to make everything fresh each week.

Kookie Karma was created in Santa Monica, CA by Juli Novotny in 2004 {she was only 24 at the time}. Juli has since worked hard to not only sell her products wholesale to West Coast markets and directly to consumers but to also educate people on the importance of including raw superfoods in and removing processed sugar/ flour/ dairy from their otherwise normal diet & lifestyle.

In the past 6 years Juli has also added 2 sons {only 12 months apart} to her busy household. PUREmamas, a blog that she dedicates her "free" time to, emerged as another education avenue for helping parents add healthy foods to their kids' diets. It's an open-minded space where Juli just talks freely {about her own life, decor, clothes, activities, eco-friendly stuff, etc.}, shares recipes and encourages the community to join in on discussions.

It's impartial and unbaised information - Juli respects all products, even ones that are similar to Kookie Karma snacks! No competition on PUREmamas.

Foods lower in Pesticides

Eat your fruits and vegetables! The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure. Use EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides to reduce your exposures as much as possible, but eating conventionally-grown produce is far better than not eating fruits and vegetables at all. The Shopper’s Guide will help you determine which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide residues and so are the most important to buy organic. You can lower your pesticide consumption by nearly four-fifths by avoiding the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and instead eating the least contaminated produce, according to EWG calculations.

Maxi- Hair MAXIMIZED

 I have been taking these for 4 months.
My nails, brows and hair are very strong and grows faster than before.
The ONLY down fall with these supplements is that they are big so, I have to drink lots of water.
They do go down easy but if you have a hard time swallowing pills these are NOT for you.
I tried cutting them in half, not a good idea, they don't feel so good going down.
The reason why I take these is cause they have all of your daily vitamins in 2 pills.
If you can't hang with the size of the supplement then just take 2,000 mcg of Biotin a day and that will help with your hair, skin and nails..

Daily nourishment for healthy, lustrous locks
Timed-release tablets ensure maximum absorption
Features biotin, MSM, horsetail extract, B-complex, and more
Formulated to provide daily nourishment for healthy, lustrous hair, Country Life's Maxi-Hair combines generous amounts of biotin, MSM, and horsetail herb extract with a full complement of B-complex vitamins, vitamins A, C, and E, and supporting minerals in timed-release tablets that ensure maximum absorption and utilization. Gluten free.

Religulous (Trailer)

The Nature of Existence - Original Trailer

one of my fav doc's "Tapped Trailer"

Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right, or a commodity that should be bought and sold like any other article of commerce? Stephanie Soechtig's debut feature is an unflinching examination of the big business of bottled water. From the producers of 'Who Killed the Electric Car' and 'I.O.U.S.A.,' this timely documentary is a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never to become a commodity: our water. From the plastic production to the ocean in which so many of these bottles end up, this inspiring documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry and the communities which were the unwitting chips on the table.

Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats- I do not, would never calorie count, only my opinion

I eat 5x a day. I eat high proteins, low carbs, and good fats.
Unit ConversionAccurately calculate your ratios of carbohydrate, protein, and fat for a given daily Calorie amount. Select from a number of common diet ratios (such as low fat, low carb, or Zone diet). Results show exact number of Calorie and grams required for each nutrient.
CARB, PROTEIN, FAT CALCULATOR
Calories: per day

Nutrient Calculator - What Does It Do?
Once you have figured out your ideal daily calorie intake, you can go further, and convert this into grams of food. Food can be grouped into Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats. Various diets propose different ratios for these 'macro-nutrients'.

If you're unsure - select a Moderate Ratio - feel free to adjust the percentages manually if you wish. Depending on how many meals a day you choose, the calculator will tell you how many grams you should be eating. Note that more frequent meals means a more consistent energy level and a boosted metabolism.

To discover the amounts of nutrient that food contains, you need access to a food database - such as those on the diet software page. From here you can completely plan out your meals.

Do Macro-Nutrients Matter?
There is a difference of opinion on this. Some feel that only calories count, whilst others argue that distribution of nutrients is what is important. The reality is - you must find what works for you - and to do this you have to start somewhere! If it doesn't work - try something else.

As mentioned on the calorie calculator, Tom Venuto's ebook Burn The Fat has a considerable section about macro nutrient ratios and calories.. His opinion is that extremes (such as very low carb, and very low fat, are only appropriate for a small section of the population
