Water Miracles Cure - ADD and ADHD

Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are related problems that occur in the brain. Think about what was said earlier about being born in water. If mothers are increasingly dehydrated, and babies are born susceptible, their own dehydration that continues during their lifetime will intensify the condition. We know that the level of nutrition of the mother is vitally important to the health of the fetus. If our mothers are chronically dehydrated, perhaps we are creating a society of congenitally ill (meaning “from birth”) people without even realizing it. This may be just one of the reasons why our healthcare costs are skyrocketing. What if we started treating ADD with water, instead of Ritalin? If your child suffers from ADD and is on a course of medication, DO NOT changes the dosage or stops the medication except on the specific advice of your physician. Water: The re
However, you can certainly encourage your child to drink more water drinking more water is not going to hurt your child. In the early stages of
Re-hydration, it will probably seem as though the medication is more effective in controlling your child's symptoms. As his body is more fully hydrated, the regular checkups by your doctor will perhaps show that a lower dosage of the medication is indicated, and at that time your doctor will change the prescription if necessary, and continue to monitor the results. Any excess water is going to be eliminated through more frequent urination and increased sweating.

Most kids just aren't predisposed to drinking a lot of water, so it may be a struggle to try to get your kids to drink even the minimum recommended amount of water. Along with having them drink more water, encourage them to drink less of any dehydrating beverages such as cola drinks. Just this one change, adding more water to your child's fluid intake, could have benefits throughout his entire system, not just on attention and activity. It doesn't cost anything to try it, and if it works, think of what a miracle that will be! Disease prevention is always better than any cure. Take the baseline — find out just how much water, pure water, not flavored water, juices or sodas, your child is taking in. You may not be able to monitor how much he drinks from the school water fountain, but that amount is probably insignificant for the purposes of taking the baseline. If you can capture the information about what other fluids the child is drinking during the day that is valuable as well.
For every diuretic cola drink, you'll want to compensate with water in the same amount to return the body to correct hydration.
Get your entire family into the habit of drinking a full glass of water as soon as they get up in the morning. Tepid water, or just slightly cool, is the best temperature for this.
Do your child a favor, contact his or her teachers or send a note to school that notifies them of the child's increased need to urinate during this time.
The worst thing we can do is embarrass the child about having to go to the bathroom. That's risking a lifetime of emotional side effects from that kind of trauma.

Explain it however you need to: “Dear Teacher, please be advised that my son, Robert, is on a health plan that results in the need to be excused from class to go to the bathroom more frequently than normal. I would appreciate your co-operation in allowing Robert to excuse himself as he feels the need. If you require more information, please contact me.” Send another copy to the school's office for them to have on your child's file, and maybe even give your child a copy of the note to carry in his pocket, in case he gets stopped in the hall on the way to or from the bathroom. Most teachers and school officials will support you in this, especially when the results become evident.
If they still have questions, give them a copy of this book. Classrooms would probably be calmer places if school personnel were aware of the benefits of having children, and staff, drink more water. Another potential effect of re-hydrating your child is the possibility of wetting the bed at night. As was previously mentioned, the increased water intake will cause increased need for urination as well. Some children sleep so deeply that they cannot wake themselves in the night to go to the bathroom. It may even happen that the child dreams he is getting up to go to the bathroom, and begins urinating before waking fully to do so in reality.
DO NOT punish your child for this. (It can even happen to an adult who has increased their water intake!) Instead, obtain some incontinence pads or the padded paper underwear specially designed for the problem of night urination in older children. This will solve the problem of a wet bed and soiled sheets, and maintain the child’s self-esteem as well. Over time, the child’s body will become used to the increased water intake and accidents will be less likely to happen. Educating your child about the importance of proper hydration could save him from innumerable medical problems later in life.
