[MUSIC PLAYING] When most parents have a child who, their behavior is not what they would like it to be, and have this issue of ADHD or the child is anywhere in that behavioral spectrum,
it's very disconcerting and upsetting for a parent, and they want to know, what can I do to help my child?
There are a lot of natural treatments that a parent can do to assist their child. A lot of interesting studies have come out, actually, in terms of just purely on supplementation to their child.
The first thing is actually zinc deficiency. Interesting that these studies show that children that
don't have enough zinc, again, it'll impair their behavior in a negative way.
Another thing that's also very important for children to be taking is a very good-quality essential fatty acid, again, those omega oils that are
essential for brain function. Another thing that I like for a child to take,
who has a behavioral problem, is carnitine. Most people think of it in terms of cardiovascular benefit,
but actually, the research shows it allows a child to hone in and focus in, especially when they're
doing their schoolwork and their studies.
So those are really three quick, easy, and safe medicines that your child can take at any age.
