  1. So Neural Synergy really works? I googled, not sure if it is some hype or scam.

  2. If you want to try something like that, which is nothing more than binaural beats or isotones you can try Neuroprogrammer 3 for a couple of weeks free. It's pretty good. If I try any other one I will go for a light and sound machine something like the Sirius. You should know that anything of this nature or trial and error. Nothing works for everyone.

    Tai Chi May Improve Some ADHD Symptoms

    May 26, 2010 (New Orleans, Louisiana) - The practice of tai chi chuan for 6 weeks during a summer camp improved behavior control in adolescents with mental illness, according to a study presented at the American Psychiatric Association (APA) 2010 Annual Meeting.

    "We found beneficial effects in controlling hyperactivity in the group as a whole, and adolescents with a diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) also showed improvements in cognitive skills, "said Peng Pang, MD, a resident in psychiatry at Maimonides Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York.

    IMO Adult ADD is a very common trait in the trading community. If the afflicted can manage to repress the impulsivity aspect, the creativity and ability to function well under stress and chaos are the positive traits of ADD that actually serve as an advantage. Medication in the correct dose helps immensely with the focus. If the trader can manage ADD with professional help, he or she can actually use some of the prevalent symptoms to his advantage. Trading is one of the friendlier and more accomodating Adult ADD career choices.

    Dairy products are not fit for human consumption. It's a huge, government-subsidized industry, though, and so the power of this industry allows it to brainwash the population, starting in early childhood through the public [mis]education system. This industry itself and its infiltration into "educational" government organizations allows it to promote lies so large that most people swallow them easily.

    Cow's milk is designed to grow a newborn calf into a full-grown cow in a rather brief period of time. It's designed for infant cows. It is NOT designed for human consumption and is a cause of, or major contributor to, major health problems in humans including asthma, allergies, juvenile and type II diabetes, arthritis and other autoimmune disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, tumor growth (cancer), osteoporosis and heart disease.

    If you research the well-controlled scientific studies and discard the industry-funded and poorly conducted studies, you'll find ample evidence of all the above.

    Here are a few of the lies the industry promotes with help of our tax dollars:

    Dairy products help you lose weight.

    Dairy products are important for good health.

    Dairy products help prevent osteoporosis.

    Dairy products are a quality source of protein.

    Read "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell, PhD. of Cornell University for a real eye-opener about dairy products.

    The majority of people in the world are lactose intolerant:

    100% of Native Americans
    95% of Asians
    90% of Africans
    75% of African Americans

    Those who maintain lactose tolerance into adulthood are mainly mainly of northern European descent because of their dairy consumption through many generations. Though this rare lactose tolerance allows them to consume dairy without major gastrointestinal disturbance, it does not protect them from the other hazards of dairy consumption such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases (arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and so on), nor from the tumor growth promotion as a result of high IGF1 levels in dairy which contribute to the high rates of breast, colon and prostate cancer. The increased rates of cancers correlate to the tripling of cheese consumption between the 1970's and now.

    Diet is a large factor in ADD/ADHD, and the major problem foods are dairy, refined sugars, and wheat (especially refined flour).

    An example of the power of a dairy-free whole foods diet was demonstrated nicely here:
