Understanding ADHD

September 20, 2018 By admin

ADHD or Attention Deficit/Hypersensitivity Disorder is a relatively new diagnosis that caught our attention in the middle to latter part of the twentieth century. People who were impulsive, hyperactive and had a hard time focusing were diagnosed with ADHD.

In the early history of ADHD, most thought that it was a problem among children and that they would grow out of it. However, about 4.4 percent of the adult population are ADHD. Among this group, 62 percent are males and 38 percent are females. Among non-adults, about 5 million children from ages 3-17 years old have been diagnosed with the disorder.1 

Is the incidence of ADHD increasing? Researchers think so. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention monitors the occurrence of ADHD and one survey entitled, The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH), compared data from 2003 to 2007. The parent-reported data showed that there has been a 7.2 percent increase over the four-year period.

Why the increase? Based on the surveys, researchers are not too sure. However, here are a few suspects:

• Because ADHD has a more precise definition, researchers and health professionals are better able to identify ADHD.

• More children are exposed to compounds such as toxins and pesticides. These exposures may play a role in increasing ADHD.

• Researchers report that the umbilical cord that supplies much needed nutrients to the unborn baby, can carry pollutants, industrial chemicals, pesticides, residue from cigarettes and alcohol. The Environmental Work Group examined the umbilical cords of ten newborns born August and September of 2004. Within the sampled umbilical cord blood, “They found pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning coal, gasoline and garbage.”2 Researchers also reported that 287 chemicals were detected in cord blood and of this number, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system. The outcome of this exposure has not been extensively studied.3

• Some researchers suggest that television watching for ages 1 and 3 may lead to attention problems at age 7.3 Another study conducted in 2010 suggests a connection between attention problems and television watching and video gaming among children, teens and young adults.4

• Artificial food colorings and certain foods such as milk, chocolate, wheat, corn, legumes and others may also trigger attention problems in some children.5

There are other possible causes of ADHD and there is no easy answer. However, if those with ADHD work alongside physicians, dietitians and other health professionals, perhaps the problem of ADHD may be lessened or perhaps resolved.

Pamela Williams writes from Southern California.

Snake Oil

August 2, 2018 By admin

Back in the day, they rolled into town with their bottled potions that promised to cure consumption, arthritis and more. My dad remembers as a little boy seeing medicine men hawk their wares in town centers in the South. Sometimes they would set up a projector and show a short silent flick (accompanied by a musician). Once they had a crowd they would do commercial breaks between the entertainment to hawk their “snake oil,” which typically amounted to little more than colored water. But people are gullible and they used their precious resources to procure what they thought was the answer to their urgent need. Today politicians roll into town and do the same thing. They tell people what they want to hear. During the election process empty promises rule the day. And because people are still gullible, they vote with their brain in neutral.

The Pharisees tried to paint Jesus as a traveling Medicine Man, a charlatan and a fraud. He spoke about a new kingdom that could occupy people’s hearts and do away with their need to try and earn salvation. This was a direct threat to a religious system that preyed upon people’s fears and ignorance. Jesus was the real deal. Wherever He went He healed the sick, cleansed lepers, and in some places even raised the dead. But even this wasn’t enough to convince many that He wasn’t a fraud.

The manipulators of human gullibility use the “wow” factor to get noticed. That’s why Vegas is so popular. It’s all about “wow.” The problem with this is that eventually what used to “wow” us gets boring, and we need something bigger and more eye-popping to grab our attention!

After Jesus fed 5,000 + men, women and children, everyone said, “Wow! Do it again!” In fact, they wanted Him to be their king because He could just perform miracles every time they had a need.

Jesus refused to play their game because His kingdom is not about impressing people with supernatural evidence. It’s not about manipulating human gullibility to get a LIKE or positive response. God’s kingdom is about bringing healing to people ravaged by broken marriages, greed, deceit, identity theft, lies, religious hypocrisy and so much more!

God wants to change us so that we no longer fall victim to the religious charlatans, wormy politicians and fake news broadcasts.

Rich DuBose writes from Northern California.
