Smart Kids Don't Do Drugs

Today’s world is like a war zone against our children, mentally and physically. From an onslaught of toxins like pesticides, herbicides and artificial flavorings and colorings in our food, fluoride and chemicals in our water, most children are diet poor, which creates conditions for the “perfect storm” where focus is impaired.

When a child has lack of focus or concentration in school, they are often labeled as “hyperactive”or worse, diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and prescribed drugs like Ritalin or Adderall.

Drugs just mask the symptoms, they never get to the heart of the matter. And are often dangerous, altering the personality of the child and their ability to learn. Another downside, is that a child once considered to be too “active”, is now behaving like a child-Zombie, even falling asleep during class.

We don’t believe your child need drugs to focus! Join us over the next 3 weeks, as we cover this topic, as well as others, affecting our young people, including hormones and keeping our young athletes strong and healthy.

We hope you’ll join us. Pass this along to your grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or anyone you know that could benefit from hearing truth in the face of this drug-driven world our young people live in.

Mental FOCUS is Important at any Age

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnoses are on the rise in our nation, with more than 3 million new diagnosis each year.

Scientists have not been able to pinpoint a single cause of this epidemic. However, there are many factors that can contribute. Eleven percent (yes, 11%) of children ages 4-17 were diagnosed with ADHD, a 16% increase since 2007. Click Here to Read More

Do you know a child dealing with attention deficit issues? Here are some areas that are considered to be contributing factors:

1. Pesticides – Consumption of pesticide-laden fruits and vegetables, even in the pregnant mother, are now showing at higher than normal rates of ADD/ADHD in their children.
2. Lead exposure – a neurotoxin, lead has been removed from most homes and schools, but traces of it are still everywhere.  A 2009 study found that children with ADHD tend to have higher blood-lead levels than other kids.
3. Food additives – While most European countries have banned certain preservatives, after research linked hyperactivity in children to food that contained mixtures of artificial colors and preservatives, the FDA continues to say that they are safe.
4. Overall Diet – Certain dietary components may affect behavior, and a recent Australian study suggested that adolescents with diets high in fat, refined sugar, soda, and sodium were two times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD as other kids.
5. Overexposure to Chemicals – Researchers have found a link between polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PCFs) – industrial compounds widely used in products like stain-resistance coatings and food packaging, and ADHD. Phthalates – found in items like toys, food packaging and cosmetics, have also been linked to ADHD.
6. Deficiencies in Omega-3 fatty acids –  which are important for brain development and function, can contribute to ADHD symptoms.
7. Home Environment – can make for stressed and unhealthy children:

  • Second-hand smoke
  • Stress in the home
  • Disorder – children thrive on routine and boundaries
  • Sleep – children need more sleep than adults and without it become cranky and irritable
  • Lack of a quiet place for homework, creative thinking or reading

Give Your Child Fuel to FOCUS

To help your child with their focus, look at the overall picture, beginning with diet. Studies in school children consistently show that kids who eat breakfast are better able to focus and learn.

Keeping Your Child Focused

The side effects of ADD/ADHD drugs can be highly detrimental to children and young adults. Issues can range from sleep issues, decreased appetite, to delayed growth and tics. Click Here to Read More

There is a different way to treat children who lack focus. When supplemented properly, combined with control of surrounding environment and diet, many children can go on to lead successful school careers, apart from drugs.

Life Transfusion Liquid Mineral Complex is a complete trace mineral formula high in Magnesium, the tranquility mineral. Magnesium deficiency is rampant today and leads to anxiety and hyperactivity.

Minerals run every organ in the body. They make your heart beat, your brain think, your lungs pump, your pancreas function, they make bones and new hair, skin, nails.

Minerals build the immune system, control insulin and much, much more. Minerals conduct electricity through the cells and the body, particularly the brain.

Add a few drops to your child’s morning smoothie (or mix with cranberry or carrot juice) and you’ll notice a calmness to their mood throughout the day.


Mind Power is ideal for any child over the age of 3, just reduce the number of capsules according to weight.

This extraordinary formula dramatically increases oxygen flow to the brain allowing it to “think clearly”, while conducting high electrical thought patterns and increased volume of thinking.

Mind Power is like an “Einstein-pill” that fuels the genius inside of all of us.


Omega 3/6/9 contains Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) that are just that – “essential” for the body.

EFA’s are the major constituents of all cell membranes. Without fatty acids, the membranes are unable to function. This means the life process comes to a shuddering halt.

“The brain, when its water weight is removed, consists primarily of Essential Fatty Acids. That is why there is so much attention deficit problems with our children. They get next to zero amounts of EFA’s in their junkfood diet.”
-Dr. Linda Page, ND


Nature’s Energy Secret is an amazing supplement naturally supporting the transport and absorption of oxygen throughout the body and especially the brain!

This one ingredient can help a student in all of these areas:

  • Attention Span
  • Increase circulation to the brain
  • Fight depression and emotional stress
  • Improve cognitive skills
  • Enhance mental work capacity
  • Heightens the body’s resistance to stressors

The End of Alzheimer's and ADHD?

Alzheimer’s and ADD/ADHD did not exist when I was growing up. They have both only appeared in the last few decades and were simply unknown until very recently.

Other modern epidemics are running rampant as well, like diabetes, hypertension, breast and prostate cancer.

We are having these new epidemics because we are doing things humans have never done before. These record rates are confined to industrialized nations, especially America.

No people in the history of the entire world have ever hogged down so many calories, fat, sugars, and nutrition-less food than we do.  No one.

EVER.

Alzheimer’s disease is basically based upon inflammation and oxidative stress – the same factors causing coronary heart disease. Once Alzheimer’s takes hold, it cannot be cured. The most significant causes are excess sugar intake (more than 160 pounds per person each year,) high blood glucose, high insulin, and insulin resistance.

Our mad devotion to eating double bacon cheeseburgers only adds fuel to the fire as we stuff over 40% saturated (animal) fat calories into ourselves each day.  GROSS!

The percentage of fat we consume should only be 10 to 20%, and come directly from vegetable oils.

Of course, we all need to stop our addiction to animal protein and stop eating pig and dairy. That’s definitely the first step. But, there’s more.

Our incredible Mind Power formula is the most super-powerful, all-natural anti-Alzheimers and anti-ADD/ADHD product available today.

Nothing compares.

ADHD Meds May Hike Kids' Heart Risks

New York, (CBS)

Dr. Jennifer Ashton Discusses New Research Linking Stimulant Drugs and Sudden Death

Research released Monday by The American Journal of Psychiatry gives more support to the claim that stimulant drugs usually prescribed for ADHD could increase the risk of sudden unexplained death in children.

On The Early Show Monday, CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton what the study might mean for the 2.5 million children taking medication for the disorder.

The study found the rate of stimulant use in children and adolescents who died suddenly or from cardiac dysrhythmia was 1.8 percent, compared to 0.4 percent for youth who died as passengers in motor vehicle accidents.

Ashton said all the drugs commonly prescribed to children with ADHD are amphetamines. While amphetamines have been shown to give children the ability to keep focus and attention, Ashton said they can increase heart rate and blood pressure.

“(Amphetamines) do have very potent effects on the body,” she said.

What Really Causes Lupus and MS‏

“Right now here in America, there is an epidemic of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Systemic Lupus. I get at least two cases each week from desperate parents seeking help for their child or a loved one.

I’ve always thought that the underlying cause of these systemic and nervous system diseases were somehow related to some alien poison in our food and drink. And I was right!”
