VAXA ATTEND ATTENTION DIFFICULTIES HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINAL (Pack of 3)

by VAXA ATTEND

Product Description

The Reticular Activating System and its connections. At the center of consciousness, attention and learning. The Reticular Activating System appears to be intimately involved in the neural mechanisms which produce consciousness and focused attention, receiving impulses from the spinal cord and relaying them to the Thalamus, and from there to the Cortex, and back again in a feedback loop to the Hippocampus/Thalamus/ Hypothalamus and participating neural structures in order for learning and memory to take place. Without continual excitation of cortical neurons by reticular activation impulses, an individual is unconscious and cannot be aroused. When stimulation is enough for consciousness but not for attentiveness, ADD or LD results. If too activated, an individual cannot relax or concentrate (and is over-stimulated or hyperactive) often resulting in ADHD. Although Attention Deficit starts in the brain, it really involves the entire sensorium (vision, smell, touch, hearing, etc.) as well as the inner world of cognition and emotion. When deprived of the required number of neural connections needed to process the "traffic" smoothly, competition between various stimulus results. Overly competitive stimulation from multiple external and internal sources (too much visual stimulation, too much sound stimulation, too many internal feelings and emotions, etc.) can cause undue frustration, irritation, aggression and anxiety. When the limited neural network is overly taxed in this regard, it becomes unable to "tune in" or focus on some stimulation, while "tuning out," or "turning down" (attenuating) other stimulation.

This review is from: VAXA ATTEND ATTENTION DIFFICULTIES HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINAL (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)

I bought Attend for my seven year old daughter. She has always been a difficult child and she is borderline ADHD (well one psychologist who tested her thinks she is but we are not so sure). In September, my daughter did not behave in class and was agitated and sometimes uncontrollable. So I tried Attend: 2 pills a day. It helped with the concentration but not the behavior. So I gave her also one or two "Extress" (by Vaxa) a day. Both together seemed to work very well and her behavior at school and home improved a lot. Even her handwriting became neater. However, sometimes in January, she started to complain whenever she had to swallow the pills saying that they scratched her throat. Eventually, she stopped taking them altogether and her behavior got worse again. Now I am giving her fish oil and chewable wafers named "Attentive child" which seem to work well also.
