ADHD is a neurologic disorder in Colorado Springs

It’s widely supported that ADHD is a neurologic disorder. The brain is highly sensitive to environmental exposures like the toxic elements lead, mercury, arsenic, and aluminum as well as other dangerous chemicals and pesticides. Studies have shown that lead, in particular, can cause lower IQ levels, learning disabilities, and hyperactive behavior.

Digestive issues like food allergies and intolerances, poor diet, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and overall poor digestive function can also play a part with ADHD symptoms.
