"Changing your diet, nutrient levels, circadian rhythms or sleep patterns, the substances you use, the amount of exercise or playtime you have, getting rid of toxins in your system, balancing your hormones, correcting imbalances in your digestive tract, boosting your cells' ability to produce energy, and fixing food sensitivities or allergies can all radically transform your mood and brain function. With that in mind, consider the following: •I- Can lifelong depression be cured? •b Can children completely recover from autism? -;?Can dementia be reversed? Conventional medical wisdom says no." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Fasting is not a toy for playtime, nor is it a time for novices and the ill-informed to monitor themselves and decide their own care. Most people in relatively good health with no serious complaints can fast safely seven to ten days. But even these less serious conditions in health seekers can develop into very serious situations once a short fast progresses into a longer fast and as cleansing and healing crises become intense and heretofore unknown disease symptoms in progress surface." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"If siblings are older than the child with ADD/ADHD, get them to take part in the planning of the daily meals, playtime hours, and so forth. If their opinions are taken into account, they'll feel more like willing participants in the plan rather than people upon whom the plan is forced, for no reasons that apply directly to them. • Try your best to be more balanced in your awarding of praise. If your child with ADD/ADHD is doing something correctly, notice and thank the siblings for setting fine examples with their own appropriate behavior." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "Improved health comes easier than you once thought, and with wellness comes the clarity to be productive in work and the energy to enjoy playtime to the fullest. The diet and exercise regimen are at the core of the cure, but I'd like to offer you some additional treatments to reinforce your child's and your family's health. Quite frankly, I learned nothing in medical school about the natural path to stress relief, anxiety relief, and improvement in concentration." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "Additionally, if there is a reward waiting when the homework is completed, like a few more hours of playtime, that is all the more incentive for your child to work as hard and with as much concentration as he or she can. Feed Their Brains We've already discovered that food can affect mood, motivation, and mental health in the long run. The good news is that the proper food can also provide great energy boosts right now. There is a reason people get the munchies when they are studying hard or really straining their brains. The brain is a highly metabolically active organ." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.) "Seta Work Schedule If you allow children to mix work time with playtime, you are inviting them to invent their own distractions. This is why it is important to fix certain hours of the day as official homework time. The best time for children to begin homework is right after they've had some exercise, when they have a good supply of oxygen circulating through their systems and their brain is prepped for concentration. Make it clear that they shouldn't leave the table until they have finished their assignment, or until it's time to have dinner." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"For a six-year-old there's a huge difference between staying on at school for a snack, clubs and extra playtime a couple of days a week, and practically living there for most of one's waking life. If parents aren't available, a home-and-family substitute, such as a child-minder or au pair, may be a better childcare option for at least part of the week than long hours in an institution. But as they grow older children need to spend less time with familiar adults and more with their peers. For the eight to twelves, well-resourced and well-organised 'extended schools' could be a blessing." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.) "As well as influencing what happens on the sports fields, fear of injury also leads to constraints on what children can do at playtime and a reduction in outdoor excursions and challenges which could, if anything went amiss, lead to lawsuits. The health and safety brigade now stalks the corridor, playground and sports field, attempting to eliminate all risks from children's lives. All that happens, of course, is that schools become bland and unexciting places." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.) "PE, playtime and paranoia There's now concern across the developed world about children's dwindling interest in physical exercise. This has been clearly recorded in Japan, where the Central Council for Education has monitored children's development annually since the t96os and noted a steady deterioration in physical abilities, beginning in the mid-eighties. Children can no longer run as fast, jump as high or throw and catch a ball as well as they did in ±e past." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"The formula dries quickly, allowing little playtime. © Lift & Texture Root Boost ($3.86for 8 ounces) is an aerosol styling spray with a directional nozzle designed to shoot a blast of foamy product at the roots of the hair. This has a medium hold and is sticky, but it definitely can provide lift and style support. On fine or thin hair, the force of the application means way too much product is dispersed at the roots, and that can weigh hair down and make it difficult to style. For best results, I suggest spraying this onto your hands and then working it through the hair." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.) "The downside for all that hold is persistent stickiness—you will not be able to brush through your hair, but you'll get plenty of playtime to shape and mold hair into place before it dries. Salon Selectives Over the years, Salon Selectives has had more revamping and repackaging than Madonna. Meanwhile, all this tinkering (mostly in the packaging department) still hasn't convinced me that this is a worthwhile line to consider over others. Although this line has an enticing name, that's about its only unique, interesting aspect." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.) "It brushes through easily and doesn't dry instandy, so you have sufficient playtime to position hair in place before it sets. © Hairspray, Extra Hold (Non-Aerosol) ($1.29 for 6.5 ounces) is a standard, light-hold hairspray with a slightly stiff, sticky feel that can be brushed through easily. The lightweight finish makes it ideal for holding fine or thin hair, but all hair types can use this. © Hairspray, Extra Hold Unscented (Aerosol) ($1.29 for 6.5 ounces) is identical to the Hairspray, Extra Hold (Aerosol) above, except with a less obvious fragrance (meaning this is not fragrance-free)." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.)
