What is on my mind is I need to know what nutrition and supplements that will help my little brother who in the past has been on the drug Wellbutrin for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. This past weekend 10/24/09 he attempted suicide by way of an overdose of Tylenol PM, Aspirin and Ibuprophen. Do you have any suggestions? I’d be grateful for any you care to share.

EW: Sorry to hear about your brother. As a licensed acupuncturist/Chinese herbalist I believe that he needs to be seen by a health care professional to assess the best formulation for him. Hopefully he is open to this and you can help. Go to http://www.nccaom.org to find a practitioner near you.

Thank you Rehmannia and Michelle for your input. Michelle, I will look into the website link you referred. One of the things that is so upsetting about my brothers situation is the the Psychiatrists readily prescribe psych drugs based solely on behavior and not on the bodies actual chemistry. They are so quick to say, “Here, because he behaved this way or that, just have him take this pill and all will be well.” If that were true he never would have attempted suicide in the first place!

YOur brother needs to wean off meds and totally avoid all refined sugars and flour; even natural sugars need to be used sparingly. He needs a high mineral macrobiotic diet, with avocado, flaxseed, borage
and evening primrose ois, Add lecithin, non gmo, added to his diet,. Simple soothing soups with vegie, shitake, burdock, carrots bocolli, cabbage,,,with brown rice or quinoa, hijiki. Vegie nori wraps….warm,
nourishing, light meals. Make a tea of gotu kola for the daytime, lightly sweetened with agave syrup
Apples or oranges between meals. ST Johnswort extract in evening and nightteme. Chsmomile ane linden and orange flwer tea atanight, Seek alternative counciling.
Peace, lady enyaj

Thank you Michelle for your thoughts. I am working on both my mom and brother to enlighten them that there are alternatives to psych drugs. It’s a tough road I am on and I am grateful for all the suggestions, care and concern you as well everyone else on this blog have shared with me. Much love to you all!!!

Hi EW, I’m sorry about you brother and the situation.
Concerning ADD and ADHD–As a Nutritionist for 15 years, The best help I have found is Enzogenol, a pine bark extract from New Zealand. There are no chemicals used in the extraction process (which there is with Pycnogenol). It is very helpful for behavior and mood. The best price is at http://www.WingsofWellness.com I hope this will benefit him! Keep him on the healthiest diet possible, more raw, no sugar! Wishing you all the Best!!

Raw foods, Raw foods, Raw foods & green smoothies in particular, of course only if he is interested. Also currently i work in an indigent mental hospital as a peer councilor doing music & art therapy. there are loads of peer reviewed studies that show how powerful creativity is for helping depression/adhd/schizophrenia as well as a host of other 20th century ‘illnesses’. i am pharma & street drug-free for over 14 yrs. i was diagnosed with all three of those ‘illnesses’ at various points in my life. I was also on a host of strong psyche drugs, even one that are illegal today with HoRRiBlE side effects. i credit my cure to eating raw foods & doing a punk rock band after i came off of meds./drugs!!! Soooo if yr little brother is pulled toward any creative arts i would totally encourage it even if it doesn’t make sense to you. Also there is another FABuLoUs organization of visionaries called ‘the Icarus project’ http://www.theicarusproject.net that is building ‘radical mental health supports in a world gone mad’. they have lots of free info for coming of psych drugs & starting fun DIY support groups.
Also there a GREAT book called ‘survival into the twentieth century’, by Raw food pioneer Vicktarus Klinviski (i know i just spelled his name wrong. LOL,,, just google the title of the book if you don’t already know of him. he had testimonies in his book how ppl. healed depression & ‘schizophenia’ with raw food, yoga, meditation and that kind of thing. Currently i have been working in indigent mental health & i feel very skeptical of the labels that ppl. get diagnosed. here’s a interesting point african american ppl tend to get diagnoses with ‘schizophenia’, when white ppl get diagnoses with ‘depression’ for the same symptoms. ADHD to me appears to be the label d’ jour for the 2000′s.It appeared that everyone was being labeled with bi-polar in the 1990′s. that my take on it.
Ultimately only yr brother knows what will help him down deep, mayb simply encourage that beautiful spark of self knowledge & creative light that is with in him. i think raw foods R so enzymatically charged that it helps us to connect to our creative spirits & to manifest our truths. It makes coming off psyche drugs gentler too. All ‘illnesses’ have physical, mental & spiritual dimensions….there’s loads of peer reviewed studies to back that.. i have seen & have person experience to how creativity also can help ppl expresses there truths when words fail. Food of course is important, but loving the heart & soul is equally important for healing.

Have some gratitude for what others are doing and giving you without cost! What are you giving at no cost to others? There is a cost for top-of-the-line! Thanks David for sharing these with us!!

I’d like to say to E.W. that this attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is mainly due to the consumption of sugars and other NOT wholefoods. You know: degenerated foods white flour and stuff. So you’re on the right track; but the key point is how to make your sorrowchild eat him/herself a healthier way into this life, because most of the time such persons really are addicted. And they probably need some homeopathic treatment on their vaccinations, because that’s when it started mostly.

Audio quality is good enough. No problems understanding what is being said. I’d certainly rather have it than not have it. In any case, Dean is such a cool guy and I’m always interested to hear what he has to say.

Nice interview. As a practitioner of Chinese Medicine and a raw-foodist, I would like to point out that there is a reason that Rehmannia has studied/apprenticed for eight years with a Taoist master and that many Chinese herbologists in the US have Master’s degrees in Chinese herbology. Chinese medicine is an extensive and complicated system. If one wishes to use herbs for reasons other than basic tonification, they should consult with an herbalist who can diagnose them properly and tailor their formula to their specific needs. For example, during a common cold, one should NOT take tonic herbs, and if one is on interferon medication, bupleurum is seriously contraindicated. Thank you for your dedication to healing and higher consciousness.

Thanks to David and the Longevity Now folks for posting this. I am going to learn how to slow down and speak more articulately when doing phone interviews! Very sorry for the mumbles. I’m going to elaborate on these issues at the Longevity Now conference, so we’ll have another chance to discuss cleansing and such, in more detail. Thanks to all and see ya there!!

Oh yes, about the kid with ADD or was it ADHD? Either way, I believe this widespread problem stems from bad saturated fats in the diet, as the brain is highly composed of fats, a medium that nerve synapses run through. Whole fats from avocado, walnut, COCONUT- all parts, flax oil- feshly ground, etc, may in time restore efficient nerve impulse pathways (the child’s brain continues to grow and mature until approx. 18 yrs). Include oxygen from deep breathing and good pure water.
Here’s a recipe; fresh juice of spinach, parseley, carrot and green apple, mixed with the water and some meat of young coconut. Drinking about a pint of this a day should have a very positive effect.
teas; Blood oxygenating herbs like Rhodiola and Gingko, adaptogens like Gynostemma and ginseng, astragalus helps with ‘upright Chi’.

Nice info. Just enough to get me to do more research (to get the correct names of herbs he mentioned). Another little installation/ lesson about herbs and taking care of the body. Thanks.

I am so thankful both to David and now you Rhemannia. I am disabled due to Brain Trauma Injury, and Brain surgery issues with my pituitary and hypothalmus and have been searching far and wide (not working so am financially poor) also have an 11 year old all of a sudden getting severe allergies and athsma like conditions- so we are truly challenged and what a god send you both are. Any suggestions for us? We are doing vita mix smoothies and incorporating more superfoods, cacao etc. in our diet of more and more raw foods. THANK YOU!

Always interesting to listen to guests speak about their passion and help make our lives better. Sound was a little high but bearable maybe it our new systems that cause the problem.
With gratitude for all.
