New Success and New Thoughts

Well, I have no idea if anyone is reading this. If not then it will serve as documentation of my suspicions that the increasing number of children with ADD and ADHD is not due to increased awareness of the symptoms of these diseases but to increased frequency related to increasing numbers of children with vitamin D deficiency. The American diet can't solve our vitamin d problems so our exposure to the sun is our only chance. Increasingly statistics show our children are spending less and less time outside in the sun and if they are their loving parents are covering them up with sunscreen. Presently, most of my ADD and ADHD patients are coming back into the office before school restarts. I'm checking each and every one's Vitamin D level. My thoughts for this stem from research linking vitamin d deficiency to cognitive defects in the elderly population. Defects such as decreased attention span and short-term memory deficits. Also, I would like to report that I've had several patients with Vitamin D deficiency either get off ALL their blood pressure meds or greatly reduce the number of BP meds they're needing. If anyone has a question, email me at rwoodruff@yahoo.com. Have a good'un. Peace, love, joy. Woody
