What
is ADHD?
Imagine
living in a fast-moving kaleidoscope, where sounds, images,
and thoughts are constantly shifting. Feeling easily bored,
yet helpless to keep your mind on tasks you need to complete.
Distracted
by unimportant sights and sounds, your mind drives you from
one thought or activity to the next. Perhaps you are so wrapped
up in a collage of thoughts and images that you don't notice
when someone speaks to you.
For many
people, this is what it's like to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder, or ADHD. They may be unable to sit still, plan ahead,
finish tasks, or be fully aware of what's going on around
them.
To their
family, classmates or coworkers, they seem to exist in a whirlwind
of disorganized or frenzied activity. Unexpectedly--on some
days and in some situations--they seem fine, often leading
others to think the person with ADHD can actually control
these behaviors.
As a result,
the disorder can affect the person's relationships with others
in addition to disrupting their daily life, consuming energy,
and diminishing self-esteem.
ADHD,
once called hyperkinesis or minimal brain dysfunction, is
one of the most common mental disorders among children. It
affects 3 to 5 percent of all children, perhaps as many as
2 million American children.
Two to
three times more boys than girls are affected. On the average,
at least one child in every classroom in the United States
needs help for the disorder. ADHD often continues into adolescence
and adulthood, and can cause a lifetime of frustrated dreams
and emotional pain.

discussions on ADHD see U.S.
National Library of Medicne.

The
Natural Approach
Rather
than prescribing strong and sometimes addictive psychiatric
drugs,(Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall) naturopathic approaches
to the treatment of ADHD and ADD take a more holistic look
at the individual and take into account diet, lifestyle, personality
type, surroundings and emotional factors.
Natural
remedies are used to gently and effectively treat the symptoms,
while at the same time helping the person to heal and to reach
a state of balance and health.
The natural
approach is less harmful and more thorough and has a greater
chance of curing the problem altogether, instead of keeping
the individual on psychiatric drugs for many years.
This is
very important, especially in the case of children, because
of the frequent side effects of prescription drugs and the
risk of addiction. (side
effects of drugs like Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall)
The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on August 21,
2006 that several ADHD drugs must now carry information on
the labels warning consumers of the risk of heart problems
and psychotic behavior associated with taking the drugs. The
FDA says GlaxoSmithKline's Dexetrine drug and Novartis AG's
Ritalin must now include warnings about risks of serious heart
problems and sudden death. ADHD drugs act as stimulants and
can raise blood pressure, possibly triggering heart trouble.
Users of the drugs are also at risk of displaying behavioral
problems -- which the drugs are often prescribed to treat
-- such as aggression and mania.
What
is Focus?
Too often,
doctors and psychiatrists quickly prescribe powerful psychiatric
drugs such as Ritalin, Concerta and Adderall to treat the
symptoms of ADHD, subjecting ADHD sufferers to unnecessary
risk and possibly devastating side effects.

What
are the Ingredients of Focus?
Ginkgo
Biloba, is a powerful herb from the Far East and has been
grown in temple gardens for millions of years. Its medicinal
properties have only been discovered by the West during the
last 20 years, where clinical studies have indicated its effectiveness
in restoring the functioning of the circulatory system and
improving blood flow to the brain. Active ingredients include
flavone glycosides (including ginkgolide), bioflavins, sitosterol,
lactones and anthocyanin.
Scuttellaria
Laterifolia (also known as Skullcap), is a relaxing nerve
tonic and anti-spasmodic, which reduces excitability and relieves
depression. Active ingredients are flavonoids, tannins, bitter,
volatile oil and minerals.
Matricaria
Recutita (also known as German Chamomile), is traditionally
used to promote calm and to soothe nervous tension. Its active
ingredients include volatile oil, flavonoids, valerianic acid,
coumarins, tannins, salicylates and cyanogenic glycosides.
Centella
Asiatica (also known as Gotu Cola), is found wild in moist
areas throughout Africa and Asia. Centella Asiatica is used
to re-vitalize the brain and nervous system, increase attention
span and concentration and combat ageing.
Avina
Sativa (Green Oats), also called Hawer, is a remedy traditionally
used in folk medicine as well as in modern herbalism to treat
nervous exhaustion and as a general nerve tonic. Active ingredients
are saponins, flavonoids, minerals, alkaloids, steroidal compounds,
Vitamins B1 , B2, D, E, carotene and wheat protein.
Urtica
Urens, called Umbabazane in Africa is used traditionally
and in modern herbalism as a circulatory stimulant and to
lower blood sugar levels. Active ingredients are histamine,
formic acid, acetylcholine, serotonin, glucoquinones, minerals,
Vitamins A, B and C and tannins.
Aspalathus
linearis (also know as Rooibos) Many children with ADHD
symptoms suffer from hypoglaecemia or they are hyperglaecemic
due to incorrect diet. This means that their blood sugar levels
will fluctuate a lot, leading to mood swings, irritability
and restlessness as well as lack of concentration. Rooibos
contains Magnesium, zinc and iron which are all essential
to a healthy nervous system. Zinc and iron in particular are
important for brain unctioning and concentration. Deficiencies
in these elements will cause problems in concentration, memory
and mood. Rooibos also has calmative properties and is known
to soothe and decrease nervous tension (although this effect
is not as strong as the two above ingredients. Many children
with ADHD symptoms also suffer from various allergies and
food intolerances. Rooibos is of great benefit in the management
of allergies and to build up the immune system. Rooibos improves
overall liver functioning, which helps the body to eliminate
toxins and improves overall body functioning thereby increasing
the efficiency of all organs of the body. Rooibos is endemic
to the Cedarberg Mountains of the Cape and is not found anywhere
else in the world.
How
do I use Focus?
Children
up to the age of 15: Take one drop per age year of the child
or adolescent in a little water or juice every morning and
evening after meals.
Adults:
Take 20 drops in a little water every morning and evening
after meals.
How
long until I see results?
While
an immediate calming effect is usually noted, it takes a little
longer for improvements in concentration, distractibility
and memory to be noted.
Best results
are achieved when Focus is used consistently and the recommendations
regarding diet and consistent discipline are followed.
How
long will a bottle last?
One
bottle of Focus at full adult dosage (20 drops twice daily)
will last 25-30 days.
For children
under the age of 15 one bottle will last longer as less drops
are taken, a bottle of Focus for a 10 year old child for example
would last around 50 days.
A 90-120
day supply of 3 bottles is offered at a discount (see the
Buy 2 Get 1 FREE special).

What
People Using Focus ADHD Formula Have Said
“Concerned
about our son’s wild behavior we checked into natural
remedies and first product we tried had no results after 3
months. Then I purchased Focus ADHD and MindSoothe Jr. a few
weeks ago; it arrived within a week and within 2 weeks the
changes in my son have been outstanding. We recently had parent
teacher interviews at school as his teacher was shocked by
the changes in him; he went from being below average in most
things to above average within a week. He also started listening
75% of the time, rather then the 1% of the time prior to using
your products. We are extremely happy that you are able to
ship to Canada. You have given my son a chance to show his
true self, and we are eternally grateful.” - Amanda,
Alberta, Canada
This
is our second order and I am so glad that we are placing it.
This product has made such a difference in our lives that
I am almost brought to tears. Thank you doesn't seem enough.
- John, KS, USA
I ordered
your product for my 25 year old son with tourette's syndrome
and add. he agreed to try the drops as directed... anything
to slow down the tics and improve his focus and attention
that didn't involve drugs that make him tired and depressed!
After a few weeks on the product, he now attests to feeling
more focused and tics have slowed. we will continue the trial
and are so hopeful for continued improvement. - Rosemary,
KY, USA
So
far we have used one bottle on my 4 year old, results are
amazing!! - Carrie, WA, USA
This
is the second order I have placed I and I love this product
for my 16 year old ADHD son. It doesn't take his sense of
humor away, but allows and helps him excel in the other areas
of his life. - Lucinda, IN, USA
The
focus product is excellent! I noticed a change in my son Micah's
disposition with a week - even my teenage son (who is 14)
said he noticed the difference in Micah (he's 7)! - Karen,
MI, USA
I must
admit I was a helpless skeptic when it came to the effectiveness
of natural remedies vs the use of prescription drugs. Does
it really work? that's the bottom line. However within three
days I noticed an amazing sense of peacefulness and comfort
I have longed for for over three years! I no longer feel impulsiveness
and anxiety, it's been replaced with rest! And no pun intended
here but there is a reason why they call it FOCUS! Sincerely,
Skeptic turned believer! - Randy, FL, U.S.A
"I
have a 10 year old son Lewis who has had ADHD since the age
of 6. He was prescribed Ritalin by the consultant. I thought
it would be better for him if i get get him of the Ritalin
as it had alot of side effects, ie, insomnia, nightmares,
loss of appetite "highs", lows of Ritalin wearing
off. I was a bit sceptical about trying natural products,
but after looking through the internet I came across FOCUS,
living in the UK natural remedies for ADHD are not greatly
advertised, so I thought I would give it a try. Lewis has
been on the drops for about 2 weeks now and his dosage for
ritalin has been halved. He was also on sleeping tablets as
well. I have noticed a considerable change in his eating habits,
he is of the sleeping tablets, and is a lot calmer and is
able to concentrate alot more at school. I would recommend
this product to anyone who is looking to take there child
of a prescribed drug given for ADHD. I have no hesitation
in continuing ordering Focus and completely taking Lewis of
the Ritalin alltogether. Thank You" - Tanya, UK
"My
9 year old daughter had the symptoms of ADHD, she had a lot
of trouble sitting still and had a very short attention span.
I decided to try Focus, as her father and I are against any
drugs. She has been on it for three weeks and is getting an
Excellent in her behavior, and seems to be able to sit still
and pay attention in class. She seems a lot more calm and
we are a lot less stressed out at home. We forgot to give
it to her one day, and we could tell right away! When we started
the Focus again a day later she was back on track, it's amazing!
Thank you, this is a God send!" - Kristine, Minnnesota,
USA
"A
friend gave me a bottle of Focus and I have just found it
to be the most wonderful product!" - Catherine, NY,
U.S.A
"Do
you get tired of hearing "THANK YOU" What a godsend
this product has been for our family. My 11 yr old grandson
went through every medicine for ADD that was on the market.
Not one did what it was supposed to do. He was moody, angry,
loosing weight, chewing his fingers to the nubs, doing very
poorly in school, all of these potential side effects of the
chemical medications. We tried brightspark, and in a matter
of a few days (I know its supposed to take a few weeks) we
noticed a change. He is much more relaxed, concentrating in
school and getting better grades and just a pleasant person
to be around. My daughter and I can't thank you enough. Our
only regret, WE DIDN'T TRY IT SOONER. Thank you again ps we
have recommended this to our friends and they tried it for
their daughter and are getting excellent results too. You
should have ads in every Doctors office in America!!"
- Maggie, USA
"I
was told at a school meeting that my 7 year old had a problem
paying attention and sitting still in class. He was below
grade level. I was very upset and worried about him and how
I could do to help him. I researched ADD and ADHD and the
medicines that were prescribed for these conditions. I was
not pleased at all with what I discovered. I found out that
a lot of these medications were adult medications given at
a lower dose to our children. These also can add to the conditions
by causing depression and higher suicide rates for teens.
I had decided no matter what I was not going to give these
to my son. Thanks to God I found your site on a search engine
and read about your products. I ordered BrightSpark and Focus.
I had a teachers conference 3 weeks after my son had been
on these two products. I got the report that he was at grade
level in math and above grade level in reading after only
3 weeks. Everyday I see more results. I am very thankful to
you and your staff. I hope that this testimonial will reach
all the parents that have chosen to treat their children with
conventional medicine and give your products a try. Thanks
to you I never lost my son to the effects of medicine and
I gained a son with more confidence." - Nancy L.
"We
are so very pleased with both Focus and Brighspark. My grandson
was having major problems as he entered the second grade,he
was getting bad notes on his conduct and his inattention.
We took him to the doctor and a medication was subscribed
for ADHD. He had side effects and said his chest hurt, so
we immediately took him off. I found Native Remedies on the
internet and ordered the products, he has been helped tremendously.
He has been on this all this school year and doing much better.
We are so thankful for this product" - Kaye, AL, USA
"Hi
guys, today is probably one of the happiest days of my life.
My 8 year old son is on Focus and BrightSpark. Doctors have
said he has ADD, frankly I always suspected Aspergers. Anyway
he has taken the above 2 for the past 5 days. His teacher
left a message on my job and home phone until he finally got
me on my cell phone during his lunch break, I was so scared
that my child was ill or fell or something else negative.
Needless to say he was calling to tell my he was "blown
away in the difference" with my child. He was "attentive,
involved, sharing, and focused" during class. He then
asked my what was going on? I then mentioned your company
and the items my son was taking. When I came home, I played
the teachers message over and over again. I was so happy I
actually started to cry. I have to admit I was not a whole
believer in non conventional medicine, but that has certainly
changed. I will very happily recommend your products to everyone.
Thank you and God Bless You." - Suzan C., NY
"I
have tried everything for my son, but nothing calmed him or
helped him with focus. My son has been on prescription drugs
since 5 years old. He is now 14 years old. I always worried
about side effects from the scripts but nothing helped him.
I am totally convinced this works for him. WOW! I noticed
a difference in one dose. He has gone two days without his
prescription drug for ADHD. He is calmer and sleeps better.
This has no side effects. I have just placed another order
for more of your great product. I thank you and hope that
others will give your products a try. Your customer service
is great."- Jo, IN
"My
11 year old daughter had been on Concerta for 4 years. I had
been researching herbal remedies for years but was skeptical
about their effectiveness. Recently, our insurance changed
and the cost of her medication went up $35 a month, so again,
I started looking into the herbal remedies and came upon your
website. We decided that we would try her on the Focus ADHD
Remedy. I sent her teacher an email advising her of what we
were going to try and gave her the website so she would be
able to read up on everything and could be a bit informed
about what exactly it was that my daughter would be taking.
I can say that I am TOTALLY amazed and her teacher is as well!!
She can tell the difference in her concentration level and
attention span also!! IS THAT NOT THE GREATEST!? Even if for
some crazy reason, insurance would cover the cost of her meds
again - it wouldn't matter one bit. I'd pay for the Focus
over the meds ANY DAY!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!"-
