Home | AD/HD Program | Dr. Gant | Distractibility, impulsivity and restlessness are the three cardinal symptoms of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or AD/HD. Although there is no single, definitive, pathological abnormality that can be tested for --- like a chest x-ray, or a lab test that defines AD/HD --- then symptoms or distractibility, impulsivity and motor restlessness are real.
There is a growing body of evidence which suggests that there may be not one, but a series of causes or risk factors which art in coordination to influence and cause the symptoms of AD/HD. | Power Recovery

| These risk factors occur in eight general areas: 1. B Vitamin and phytonutrient deficiencies 2. Mineral imbalances 3. Essential fatty acid and phospholipid deficiencies 4. Amino acid deficiencies 5. Heavy metals and other environmental toxins 6. Food and additive allergies 7. Low-protein, high-carbohydrate diets 8. Thyroid disorders | These risk factors are testable by medical laboratory testing and are reversible. Studies suggest that correcting these risk factors eliminates the symptoms of ADHD.
The First four of the 8 Risk factors can be eliminated with the needed vitamins, minerals, amino acids or essential fatty acids. And all these nutrients have been formulated into one product, making it easy to follow the nutritional program. See the nutrient protocol below.
The Next 3 of the 8 risk factors can be tested for and eliminated by your family physician during regular office visits.
The Last Risk factor – Hi/Carb Lo/Protein Diet leading to GI Tract Problems Yeast Overgrowth/Leaky Gut syndrome can be eliminated with a combination of nutrients to restore and heal the GI tract and by changing the diet to increase protein and reduce or eliminate carbohydrates.
Our approach is a simple one, yet our human systems are very complex. Each individual is bio-chemically unique. How one or more of the risk factors affects each individual will vary among individuals. Finding and eliminating the one or several risk factors contributing to ADHD may take some time and patience. The approach is to assist the body in bringing it back into balance naturally. There is no “magic bullet” to accomplish this.
Be prepared for a surprise! Many children and adults do find this nutritional approach to be simple and easy! If the risk factors are only among the vitamin, mineral, amino acid, essential fatty acid deficiencies, then you may just start believing in miracles. These risk factors will respond quickly to the brain’s nutritional feeding. (With additional risk factors, it will just take a bit longer.)

Summary of the 8 Risk Factor Effects and Solutions
Taken from: ADD & ADHD, Complementary Medicine Solutions, by Charles Gant, MD, PhD, NMD
1-Vitamin B Deficiency
Missing cofactor for the conversion amino acids to brain neurotransmitters
Refer to nutrient protocol below
2-Mineral Deficiencies
Unable to make the proper chemical conversion for brain neurotransmitters
Refer to nutrient protocol below
3-Essential Fatty Acid Deficiencies
Unable for nutrients to pass into brain cells, cellular repair inhibited
Refer to nutrient protocol below
4-Amino Acid Deficiencies
Missing building blocks for brain neurotransmitters.
Refer to nutrient protocol below
5-Metal Toxicities
Poisons the brain----Interferes with brain neurotransmitter function
Use detoxifying Nutrients. (Ask Healthcare Professional or Nutritional Coach)
6-Food and Food Additive Allergies
Immune response----Antibodies in blood cause toxic reactions in the brain.
Identify with blood tests and Eliminate foods and additives. Use digestive enzymes
(Ask Healthcare Professional and Nutritional Coach)
7-Thyroid Disorders
High thyroid causes hyperactivity/Low thyroid related to inability to focus.
Identify with blood test and receive proper medication if needed.
(Ask Healthcare Professional and Nutritional Coach)
8-Hi/Carb Lo/Protein Diet leading to GI Tract Problems
Yeast Overgrowth/Leaky Gut syndrome
Prevents nutrient absorption----Triggers immune system response
Change diet; Restore GI tract with good flora; use digestive enzymes.

| | | ADHD Nutrient Protocols Adults and children over 12 The ADHD protocol for adults/kids over 12: UPLIFT PAK
Take one pak twice a day 1 hour before breakfast and dinner
|  | The Uplift Pak is designed to help synthesize catecholamine, the natural “feel good” energizing stress hormones (neurotransmitters) in the brain. The Uplift Pak is for those who have problems with boredom, concentration and energy since these states may be caused by a deficiency in catecholamine (dopamine, noradrenalin and adrenalin) The Uplift Pak has ample amounts of the nutrients and cofactors required to help the synthesis of these catecholamine. The Uplift Pak also contains the Five Essentials (Multivitamin, Multimineral, Essential Fatty Acids, Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes) needed to help those who suffer from boredom, poor concentration and/or low energy. To Order Click Here | | | Children under 12 The ADHD protocol for kids under 12 is as follows.
(Take twice a day 1 hour before breakfast and dinner)
FOCUS--1 Focus for every 2 years of life
SEROMEL ENHANCED--1 Seromel for every 4 years of life
OPTI EPA-- 1 Opti Epa for every 3 years of life
If finances allow also add:
SURPASS—2 Surpass a day.
MAGNESIUM DICLYCINATE –2 Mag Diglycinate a day.
|  | Focus with the NT Base is formulated to address concerns about attention and selectively enhance the natural energizing “feel good” brain chemicals (neurotransmitters), dopamine and norepinephrine. It has the right combination of the amino acid tyrosine, vitamins and mineral that help keep us mentally alert and focused, able to complete tasks and avoid being easily distracted. To Order Click Here |  | Seromel Enhanced contains 5-HTP, a compound synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan, and is a precursor to the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin. Seromel Enhanced contains added vitamin B6 and Vitamin C needed to convert 5-HTP to serotonin To Order Click Here |  | Opti EPA is a balance of both Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids to support many psychological processes related to immune function, regulation of inflammation, lipoprotein metabolism, and brain function.
Opti EPA is ultra pure distilled oils.To Order Click Here |  | Surpass with the NT base is the most complete antioxidant, multimineral, multivitamin, phytonutrient, essential fatty acid, phospholipids, probiotic, essential amino acid, vitamin nutritional food in the world! To Order Click Here |  | Magnesium Diglycinate- Magnesium is the essential macro-mineral that stabilizes all neurons and muscle tissues in the body, including the heart and is a co-factor for hundreds of enzymes. Glycine is an amino acid which has been shown to help detoxify the body, synthesize nucleic acids, stabilize blood sugar levels, provide an inhibitory (relaxing) neurotransmitter effect in the brain, assist in the synthesis of other amino acids, promote healing of connective tissue and stimulated digestion.
