The ADHD Medication Book: Coming Soon

Yes, I’ve been talking about my ADHD Medication book for more than a year – and in that year it has been updated with increasingly interesting and useful information for immediate street application. I will not only tell you why so many are having problems with meds, I will tell you the remarkably easy and predictable solutions for those many problems based on new brain science.

If you have ADHD, or know anyone who does, this book is definitely a game changer. Take a look at this fresh Press Release for ADHD Medication Rules.

Because we already know each other I am sending this out to give you a heads up on a forthcoming special pre-publication offer with - ADHD Medication Rules: Paying Attention To The Meds for Paying Attention -

1. Prepare: Sign up right now for the discounted Launch Special – ADHD Medication Rules will be available for less than half price for about 1 week, and that’s all, the door will be closed for that launch offer. When I do set it up to launch, you will get an email, I will post the launch on my blogs, and I will also Tweet it up, and I will send it out to my special colleagues on my mailing list – so be connected and ready – sign up now for the free 2o page White Paper: Precise Solutions for ADHD Medication – It’s a brief outline of the book contents – shop it up and see if you are interested.

Signing up for Precise Solutions will put you squarely on the mailing list – with no obligation if you don’t want it.

2. Coaches: If you are an ADHD coach or counselor, if you are a maven friend of mine through twitter, if you have your own ADHD blog, even if you work with me in Va Beach, you could become an affiliate. I want this book to be seen by as many people as possible, so I will be offering you an opportunity to promote ADHD Medication Rules and make a few bucks in the meantime. Hint: the commission percentage will be BIG. I want you to have some fun with your audience, and I really do want to change the way we identify and treat ADHD and all the multiple comorbid conditions. And, yes, I do disagree with Amen who has seen only 6, – I have delineated more than 3o comorbid conditions that show an ADHD appearance on the surface.

3. Students: I think that college students are often the most in need of ADHD Medication Rules, but often do not have a clue about what to do with the meds – even though stimulants are too easily available on campus. Thanks to the deafening background noise of mismanaged care – and their encouragement of immediate release meds – college students are frequently missing the useful big picture regarding how to use meds most effectively. So if you are a college student, looking for some entrepreneurial gas money, want to go out to dinner once in awhile, and are interested in ADHD, you could become an affiliate as well. Just think about it: peer recognition through becoming an ADHD maven?

So let’s get on with it – the book is coming out soon – do get signed up for the launch special, and we’ll hear from you on the affiliate page when it’s set up.

Don’t forget, this book will be a game changer – soon everyone will think the message there was their own idea – and that means we have all done our job exactly right.

Vitamin D3 Needs Attention On Several Levels

Just take the time to go through these many Vitamin D3 links, and do watch this video by Dr John Cannell. We have been hearing about the importance of D3 with depression for years, and know that it is directly connected with good thyroid function.

Harvard is now signing off on D3 for Autism, and the tide is dramatically changing from the time several years ago when I first began writing about it at CorePsych Blog, and testing our patients at CorePsych and at Parker, Schlichter & Associates in Va Beach.

Swine Flu Update on D3

Now, with the forthcoming flu season, new information and Swine flu and D3 concerns for families, children, schools and the workplace, it seems like a good time to review the D3 details.

Do pass this post along to your family and workplace colleagues, and if you are in the medical field share this with your charges. And while you’re at it, read this: it will direct you to an important review of why D3 over D2 – since that choice is a frequent question. A few summary details from this comparison piece:

The two calciferols [D2 & D3] produced similar rises in serum concentration of the native vitamin, indicating equivalent absorption. But while both produced similar initial rises in serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D over the first three days, serum 25OHD fell rapidly in the D2 treated subjects and was not different from baseline at 14 days. Meanwhile 25OHD continued to rise in the D3 treated subjects, peaking by 14 days and continuing to remain high. Calculating the difference in potency by measuring the area under the curve revealed an even greater difference with D3 more than nine times more effective than D2.

And, just in case you were wondering, you can safely give it to children:

Infants and children under the age of one, should obtain a total of 1,000 IU (25 mcg) per day from their formula, sun exposure, or supplements. As most breast milk contains little or no vitamin D, breast-fed babies should take 1,000 IU per day as a supplement unless they are exposed to sunlight. [The only exception to this are lactating mothers who either get enough sun exposure or take enough vitamin D (usually 4,000–6,000 IU per day) to produce breast milk that is rich in vitamin D.] Formula fed babies should take an extra 600 IU per day until they are weaned and then take 1,000 IU a day, as advised below.Children over the age of 1 year, and less than 4 years of age, should take 2,000 IU vitamin D per day, depending on body weight, latitude or residence, skin pigmentation, and sun exposure.

Be well this winter, physically and psychologically. Test your Vitamin D3 – your GP, your Primary Care doc is likely on top of the testing. But don’t have them write for the D2 as mentioned in these articles.

Best wishes for a healthy winter season.

Make your reservation now!

School has started, the Fall is upon us, we are back at work with questions about just what to do with Impulsivity.

Impulsivity is, without doubt, the most frequent challenge in our daily lives – for mental health professionals, teachers, HR professionals, physicians, and anyone working with administrative challenges. Impulsivity works against administration, works against group order, works against progress – and can be downright embarrassing.

Want a recent example of Impulsivity? Lay your politics aside for a moment, and simply ask yourself this question – was it a productive contribution when Rep Joe Wilson shouted out “You lie!” at Obama’s Joint Session of Congress? No matter what you think of national health care take a look at this guy, and see which side you are on regarding good order.

Affect mismanagement, emotional dysregulation – loosing it - creates havoc in families, work sites and the world, locally and internationally. Someone’s impulsivity has impacted your life. Impulsivity, from anger to suicide, destroys both the self and relationships. Impulsivity is the hallmark of poor management and atypical of balanced leadership – just ask Jack Welch,  or read his book on Leadership.

Was Wilson’s outburst ‘just a quirk?’ Who knows… Was it a problem, you bet! – And no, I will not conjecture about his prefrontal cortex.

Wilson’s interruption, his inappropriate shout during a presidential speech,  is but a small example of a seriously overlooked problem we see everyday in any group setting. So often we write impulsivity off as ‘character,’ or ‘passion,’ or ‘immaturity,’ even with adults!

- Reminds me of a person in advertising who still lives by the adage “You’re only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime.” He manages to live up to that creed, and has torn up his family in the process. There is a price for immaturity. There is, my friends, a biology for both impulsivity and immaturity.

The Impulsive Brain – Details on exactly what it is, why it is, and how to fix it.

If you live anywhere in the Norfolk, Va Beach, DC or Richmond area, [anywhere on the East Coast] and work in the context of human services you will appreciate this opportunity at Norfolk’s Old Dominion University to look more carefully at new brain and behavioral insights into the problem of Impulsivity.

• I will be presenting 1 full day of details there on Fri Oct 16th, just around the corner in time.
  
• ODU Registration has a discounted rate for groups, and a low fee for these challenging times
  
• 6 hr CEU & 6 hr CME,
• The fix will detail the latest in diagnostic evidence regarding Impulsivity, and
  
• Details about the right meds and
  
• The new process of actually measuring neurotransmitters to target specific interventions
  
• New advances in ADHD treatment
• New insights into Brain Injury
• Specific interventions for Bipolar Disorder
  
• The Biologic Contributions to Addiction Recovery.
  
• Without getting away from bottom line street applications.

If you can’t use it, I won’t be dwelling on it. Translation, street language and concepts are the key to informed intervention strategies.

Please forward this to your colleagues and friends and let’s make a day of it.
