The
Mystery, Causes and Treatment of ADHD
By
Peter Freer
Attention-deficit/hyperactiv-ity
disorder (AD/HD) is currently defined as a neurological
disorder (brain disorder) that affects both children
and adults. It is characterized by symptoms of inattention,
impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Conservative estimates
indicate that AD/HD affects between three to seven
percent of school age children, and between two to
five percent of adults.

Medicine and Children in Pain
By James
Whittle
Recent research reports
have verified that acupuncture is a very effective
approach for treating children in pain. A recent study
completed by Harvard Medical School and Children's
Hospital in Boston1 found that two-thirds of children
treated with Acupuncture reported improvement in pain
symptoms. A most common question I get from concerned
parents is: Will Acupuncture be painful for my child?

Magic: Getting Kids Hooked on Gardening
By Emily Jackson
Sustainable
construction involves assessment that includes considering
the environmental, economic, and social aspects of the
built environment. Factors that need to be addressed
are energy efficiency, material selection, construction
waste reduction, indoor air quality and the general
health and well being of the occupants, to name a few.

Herbal
Healing: Antibiotic Alternatives
By
Ceara Foley
Humans
exist in symbiosis with bacteria living all around and
inside us. Children migrate towards bacteria. They are
inherently fond of the same things bacteria treasure,
things like bread, cheese, soil, and sticky fingers.
The occasional ingestion of bacteria boosts a child’s
acquired immunity. Antibiotics have been rightfully
deemed “miracle drugs” because of the countless
lives they have saved from potentially lethal infections
such as meningitis. Yet the word “antibiotic”
means “against life.”
