Is ADHD a Mineral Deficiency? Advice on the Chemistry behind ADHD

Is ADHD a Mineral Deficiency? Advice on the Chemistry behind ADHD

By Dr. Albert Mensah, M.D.

Did you know that 90 percent of children with ADHD are very low in zinc? In over 60% of the ADHD cases we've seen, our patients lab results showed abnormally high copper levels. It's a pity this information isn't widespread among the general population because on average,  children outgrow ADHD in only about one third of mainstream medical cases. As most parents know, the standard treatment protocol for ADHD is medication, and has been for the last 30 years.

A lot of frustrated families have opted to try a more natural approach to management of ADHD symptoms. Many alternative therapies may include dietary adjustments to help aid in a reduction of symptoms. We've seen patient families who have avoided artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives  but have still seen symptoms. Other families may avoid certain foods to improve attention and brain function.

What does this mean?

If you are unusually high in copper, as most of our patients exhibiting symptoms of ADHD, you need elevated zinc supplementation. When zinc is prescribed in the right dose based on your body chemistry, it will reduce your body's copper stores and lesson your symptoms of ADHD, without the need of a medication that includes possible side effects. Copper pushes the conversion of dopamine into norepinephrine. Children with ADHD and elevated levels of copper often exhibit more anxiety. Patients high in copper are low in dopamine, which is an essential neurotransmitter.

Many parents are aware of the commonly prescribed ADHD medication, Ritalin, which is used to increase the body's level of dopamine. But can you increase dopamine levels without Ritalin? The answer is yes, by balancing the body's copper / zinc ratios.

If you've avoided ADHD medications and tried alternative therapies with less than optimal results, then targeted zinc supplementation is probably necessary for your child with ADHD.

We are Often Asked, when Adding Zinc, What's the best Dose?

I tell all my patients not to try this at home. The target dose of zinc is determined by specific lab testing, and the age, height, and weight of your child. While avoidance of damaging food additives are healthy in general, they won't correct a nutrient imbalance with laser sharp effectiveness like a targeted nutrient therapy protocol based on lab results can. Targeted nutrient therapy can have a direct and positive impact on the functionality of your child's nervous system because it's individualized to your child's specific lab results. Zinc in isolation is not as effective as it is in a compounded nutrient blend that creates a synergistic result in the body's chemistry. Just like a cook in the kitchen, we develop a protocol with the optimal ingredients for your child's body chemistry. Rather than rely on prescription medication, at Mensah Medical we normalize the neurotransmitters by balancing your child's metals with natural substances that don't cause harmful side effects. 
 

What are Signs of Zinc Overload?

We don't recommend families self-prescribe high doses of zinc to combat what they think is a copper overload. High doses of zinc can be damaging to the body and need to be monitored by a physician. Taking high doses of zinc can lead to changes in the way iron works in your body, can cause anemia, and can create low levels of "good" HDL cholesterol when they are done without careful monitoring and lab testing. Patients who experience nausea, vomiting, or increased urinary tract infections after beginning a high dose regiment of zinc are likely experiencing zinc toxicity.

 

More Evidence Ties Antibiotics to Type 2 Diabetes Risk

More Evidence Ties Antibiotics to Type 2 Diabetes Risk
http://www.medpagetoday.com/Endocrinology/Diabetes/53283

Frequent antibiotic users were about 50% more likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) compared with infrequent users, according to a nationwide population-based case-control study in Denmark.

In fact, increased antibiotic use among people who would eventually be diagnosed with T2DM was noted as early as 15 years before their diagnosis, reported a team of investigators led by Kristian Mikkelsen, a PhD student at the University of Copenhagen.

The study, published online in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, adds to previous evidence suggesting a link between antibiotic use and T2DM, Mikkelsen and colleagues said.

"Although we cannot infer causality from this study, the findings raise the possibility that antibiotics could raise the risk of type 2 diabetes. Another equally compelling explanation may be that people develop type 2 diabetes over the course of years and face a greater risk of infection during that time," Mikkelsen said in a press release.

The investigators combined data from three national public health registries in Denmark. "Virtually all medical care in Denmark is provided by public health authorities, whereby the Danish health registries allow true population-based studies, covering all inhabitants of Denmark," the investigators said.

The research team identified all Danish citizens diagnosed with T2DM from 2000-2012 and compared antibiotic use in this population with an age- and gender-matched control population.

Compared with individuals who filled 0-1 antibiotic prescriptions during the study period, those who filled 5 or more were 53% more likely to develop diabetes (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.50 to 1.55), the study found.

People who filled 2-4 antibiotic prescriptions also had a significantly higher T2DM risk than the lowest antibiotic users (OR 1.21; 95% CI 1.19 to 1.23).

When T2DM risk was categorized according to antibiotic type, the differences were found to be small. The strongest association was found for narrow-spectrum antibiotics (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.53 to 1.57) and the weakest association for broad-spectrum antibiotics (OR 1.31; 95% CI 1.29 to 1.34).

"In further analysis, we found that increased exposure to antibiotics among cases was observed for up to 15 years before the type 2 diabetes index date, with a relative exposure rate (case versus controls) that slowly but consistently increased from 1.20 15 years before the index date to 1.35 in the year prior to the index date," Mikkelsen and colleagues said.

"Because different groups of bacteria may have either a positive or negative impact on host energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism, our primary aim of this study was to test the possibility that different antibiotic groups targeting specific gut bacteria classes could induce different effects on the risk for development of type 2 diabetes," the investigators said.

"However, the uniformly increased ORs for type 2 diabetes between groups of antibiotics in our study do not support the idea of one or a few antibiotics with particularly strong metabolic side effects," they said.

The investigators concluded that "our results call for new investigations of the long-term effect of antibiotics on lipid and glucose metabolism and body weight gain. In particular, we suggest investigation of commonly used narrow-spectrum penicillins because these drugs are frequently prescribed and showed the highest OR for type 2 diabetes risk."

"What struck me about this study was there was almost no difference according to the type of antibiotic. To me that's a red flag," George Grunberger, MD, of the Grunberger Diabetes Institute in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and president of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, told MedPage Today.

"Every class of antibiotics works differently. They affect different bugs. If you tell me that there was no difference among them that tends to shoot down the theory that these antibiotics are altering gut flora -- unless every class alters it in the same way," Grunberger said.

However, "as with everything else in science, we need studies to show cause and effect," he said.

In the meantime, the apparent antibiotics-T2DM link is another reason physicians should be cautious about over-prescribing antibiotics, Grunberger said.

This research was supported by the Region of Southern Denmark.

The investigators on this study reported financial relationships with a variety of commercial entities, including Novartis, Pfizer, Genzyme, Eli Lilly, Astellas, AstraZeneca, and Boehringer Ingelheim.

George Grunberger reported no relevant financial relationships with industry.
