Seagreens® may have two useful roles to play in the management and treatment of this condition.

The underlying problems within the gut, immune system and brain which are related, may be substantially aided and improved by the regular daily input 2 Seagreens® Food Capsules or 1 gram of Seagreens® Food Granules not only because of their complete and non-allergenic balance of nutrients, but their significant natural component of the glyco-muco-polysaccharides which are about half of the carbohydrate content, in itself about half the seaweed. Secondly, in connection with the withdrawal of drug treatments like the common use of Ritalin.

This is methylphenedate and although its mode of action and pathways are not entirely understood, it is assumed that it makes more available and possibly increases production of noradrenalin and through this, dopamine and dopamine reception. It is contraindicated in hyperthyroidism so its interference with the thyroid is recognised, and possibly the hormone and endocrine systems.

It is also one of the ‘stimulant’ drugs and as such its decrease or removal may be made easier by simultaneous nutritional intervention to balance and strengthen the body’s own self-adjustment and healing.

A significant daily input raised from 2 - 4 Seagreens® Food Capsules or from 1 - 2 grams (half a teaspoon) of Seagreens® Food Granules (or a mix of these) might be introduced before, during and after withdrawal of Ritalin returning to a normal daily intake depending upon the age and condition of the child after a prolonged period of some 3 - 4 weeks at the higher dose.
