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 children, 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 or classmates, 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 that they can actually control these
behaviours. As a result, the disorder can mar 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
very common and affects at least 3 to 5 percent of all children. Two to three
times more boys than girls are affected. On the average, at least
one child in every classroom needs help for ADHD. ADHD often continues
into adolescence and adulthood, and can cause a lifetime of frustrated
dreams and emotional pain.
The Natural Approach
Rather than prescribing strong and sometimes addictive
psychiatric drugs, 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 effectively treat the symptoms,
while at the same time helping the child 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.
What is Focus ADHD Formula?
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.
Focus ADHD Formula is a 100% safe, non-addictive herbal alternative
treatment for ADHD, without the risks and side effects of
prescription psychiatric drugs.
Focus is a proven, complex herbal remedy, especially formulated
by a practising Clinical Psychologist to safely and effectively
treat the symptoms of ADHD. In combination with a healthy lifestyle
and diet which excludes excess sugar, stimulants, artificial preservatives
and colorants, Focus acts as a calmative remedy which can focus
the mind and improve concentration.
How
has Focus ADHD Formula helped others?
Focus has been happily used to help control, calm and
soothe thousands of ADHD sufferers all over the world. Here is what some
of them have to say:
"We
love Focus. It has helped our son's ADHD just enough to
help him in school, and yet still allows him to be himself
instead of the zombie side effects from the pills. thank
you" Lisa
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for making FOCUS.
My 5 year old son was having trouble in Kindergarden and
the teachers and doctor's just gave me a perscription
for Ritalin. They didn't even check him. They kept pressuring
me about putting him on something and My Husband and I
did not want to put him on medication for something we
didn't know if he even had. No one checked him or even
talked to him. So, I finally looked up natural ways to
help since, My Husband and I take alot of herbs and vitamins.
I read the testimonals thought what can I lose. Focus
has been a life-saver. The teacher says he's able to control
himself better, listening and hasn't been sent to the
office in over 1 month. If you do not want to put your
children on medication you have to try this. It works
100% I will back this product. THANK YOU
:)" - Angela, MD, USA
"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
"My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, I had
two options, either put her on that strong medication
doctors prescribe or look for another option, because
of drug abuse in our famly history I thought it was best
to try something natural, I found information on the web
... and tried FOCUS. This has made a
wonderful change in my daughter and my household as well.
It has been very good for her, it helps her "focus", she
looks more in peace, she'll finish whatever she has started,
you can actually find her in the same place 1 or 2 hours
after she has started soemthing. I am so glad I found
this kind of medication and would recommend it to any
worried parent as a way out for their children." Leslie,TN,
USA
"My grandson is in the first grade and since school started
(August 26) he received nothing but black cards, the cards
are best green, next yellow, next red, and worst black.
The teacher could not get him to sit still to even know
what she was talking about. I was at the end of my rope
and I did not want to put him on prescription drugs. I
heard about Focus, called the fine people and they explained
to me about how Focus and BrightSpark work together. I
received the order of both over the weekend and started
giving him both. Monday when school started he got a green
card, first time since school started, since then he has
received only green and yellow cards. He is sitting still
and doing his work so much better. He has not been on
the medicine a month yet. Thank you so much for your help.
I would recommend these products to anyone with children
with ADHD problems. Again let me say thanks."- Patsy
in Miami, Oklahoma
"I
have a 10 year old son 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. (He) has been on the drops for about 2 weeks
now and his doseage for ritalin has been halved. He was
also on sleeping tablets aswell. I have noticed a considerable
change in his eating habits, he is of the sleeping tablets,
and is alot 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 (him) of the Ritalin alltogether.
Thank You" Tanya, UK.
Many
experts believe that ADHD is not strictly speaking a
disorder, but rather a group of symptoms which can be
caused by many different factors, including emotional
problems, inconsistent discipline, diet, hearing impairment,
family problems, school environment and many other factors.
It is therefore always important to correctly diagnose
the problem, rather than resorting immediately to high
schedule, sometimes addictive, psychiatric drugs with
their unpleasant side effects, purely on the basis of
reported behaviour.

Focus
Ingredients:
Ginkgo
biloba
A n extremely
effective herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and
derived from one of the oldest trees on earth. Its
medicinal properties have only been discovered by the
West during the last 20 years, where clinical studies
have indicated its effectiveness in maintaining the
functioning of the circulatory system, and in improving
cognitive functions such as memory and concentration. Ginkgo
biloba is one of the top selling herbal medicines in
Europe and is in the top five of all prescriptions
written in France and Germany. Active natural ingredients of
Ginkgo include flavone glycosides, bioflavins,
sitosterol, lactones and anthocyanin.
Scuttellaria
laterifolia (also known as Skullcap)
This herb
has a long history
of effective use in the maintenance of healthy sleep
patterns and as an extremely beneficial nerve tonic.
Skullcap is also an excellent calming herb.
Matricaria recutita
(also known as Chamomile)
Chamomile
is a medicinal herb which has been used by European
naturopaths for centuries. Medicinal use of Chamomile
also dates back thousands of years to the ancient
Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. Ancient Anglo-Saxons
regarded Chamomile as one of the nine sacred herbs given
to the world. While it has a wide range of uses,
Chamomile is best known as a general tonic for both the
nervous and the digestive systems.
Centella asiatica
(also known as Gotu cola):
Used as a tonic to
maintain the health of the brain and nervous system,
Centella asiatica is recommended
to promote mental clarity, healthy memory and brain
function and as a mood balancer. This medicinal herb is
so highly respected in Ayurvedic medicine for its effect
on the mind, that it is even said to increase knowledge
of Brahman - the supreme reality! Centella asiatica is
also a favorite food of elephants and, as we all know,
elephants never forget! Recent studies have suggested
that Centella asiatica improves cerebral blood flow
(CBF) and circulation in general, (Pointel JP, Boccalon
H, Cloarec M, Ledevehat C, Joubert M. Angiology
1987;38(1 Pt 1):46-50), thereby allowing oxygen rich
blood to penetrate deep into the brain. Studies have
also suggested that this herb may be beneficial in the
treatment of anxiety (Bradwejn J, Zhou Y, Koszycki D,
Shlik J. J Clin Psychopharmacol.
2000;20(6):680-684).
Avina sativa
Used
by herbalists as an effective nerve tonic, Avina sativa
is a well known restorative and is recommended to
maintain the health of the nervous system.
Urtica urens
This well-known herb has a variety
of traditional uses and has also been subjected to
randomized, double-blind studies which suggest that it
may be of benefit in the treatment of allergies (Mittman
P. Planta Medica. 1990;56:44-47).
Aspalathus
linearis (also known as Rooibos)
This exclusively South African herb is found only
on the slopes of the Cedarberg mountains in the Western
Cape of South Africa and has been used medicinally for
thousands of years by the indigenous people of that
area. It is used as an effective all round tonic and
restorative, as a digestive tonic, to maintain healthy
liver functioning and blood sugar levels. Rooibos also
has known anti-oxidant properties, mainly due to its
superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic properties. SOD is an
enzyme in the body which is especially designed to
neutralize unstable oxygen molecules (free radicals) as
soon as they occur and can therefore help to prevent a
broad spectrum of diseases. Due to its high mineral
content, Rooibos is also instrumental in the maintenance
of healthy metabolism, bones, skin and teeth. It is an
extremely nutritious herb, containing Vitamin C,
Alphahydroxy Acid, potassium, copper, magnesium,
calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and fluoride.
How
do I use Focus?
Children up to the age of 15: Take one drop
per age year of the child in a little water or juice every
morning and evening after meals.
Teenagers over
16 and Adults: 15 - 20 drops in a little water
or juice every morning and evening after meals.
Caution:
Safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not
yet been established. Focus is best used in combination
with a healthy diet, regular exercise and fresh air.
(For
ADHD in children with anger and behavioural problems,
use Focus ADHD together with
BrightSpark Homeopathic formula)
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. The best results
are achieved when Focus is used consistently and the recommendations
regarding diet and consistent discipline are followed.
Be
aware that lifestyle factors like diet, health and
fitness levels will all play a part in concentration and
overall cognitive functioning. This applies to all
people, including children with ADHD. While Focus ADHD is highly
effective on its own, its effectiveness will be increased
with regular exercise, sufficient sleep and a healthy,
balanced diet.
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.
