Preventing & Controlling Diseases
Insulin is a key factor to weight loss. Recent studies conclusively find that men, women and children that have “belly fat” are targeted for an earlier death than those without this tendency. This even includes individuals that are not overweight! “Belly Fat” is dangerous due to the fact that it poses a serious risk of disease to the organs it envelops and it is also a clear indicator of high insulin levels.
Our approach to weight control is an easy, realistic and nutritive way of dining that decreases inflammation in the body by targeting insulin, which results in significant and consistent weight loss.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism (the way our bodies use digested food for growth and energy).
The digestive juices break down most of the food we eat into a simple sugar called glucose. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body. After digestion, the glucose passes into our bloodstream where it is available for body cells to use for growth and energy. For the glucose to get into the cells, insulin must be present.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach. When we eat, the pancreas is supposed to automatically produce the right amount of insulin to move the glucose from our blood into our cells. In people with diabetes, however, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the body cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. As a result, glucose builds up in the blood, overflows into the urine, and passes out of the body. Thus, the body loses its main source of fuel even though the blood contains large amounts of glucose.
There are two major types of diabetes mellitus.
In type 1 diabetes, your body destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, usually leading to a total failure to produce insulin. It typically starts in children or young adults who are slim, but can start at any age. Without insulin, your body cannot control blood levels of sugar. And without insulin, you would die. So people with type 1 diabetes give themselves at least one shot of insulin every day.
Type 2 diabetes is non-insulin-dependent. It is the most common type of diabetes, it affects about 15 million Americans. Nine out of ten cases of diabetes are type 2. It usually occurs in people over 45 and overweight, among other factors. When you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not make enough insulin. Or, your body still makes insulin but can’t properly use it.
After 3 short months on our nutritional program clinical diabetes can vanish. If you are borderline diabetic or have been diagnosed, we encourage you to contact us today for a customized weight program so that you can see the benefits of nutrition in your life.
What are the Symptoms?
Symptoms of type 1 Diabetes
1. High levels of sugar in the blood.
2. High levels of sugar in the urine.
3. Frequent urination (and/or bed-wetting in children).
4. Extreme hunger.
5. Extreme thirst.
6. Extreme weight loss.
7. Weakness and tiredness.
8. Feeling edgy and having mood changes.
9. Feeling sick to your stomach and vomiting.
Type 2 diabetes often develops slowly. Most people who get it have increased thirst and an increased need to urinate. Many also feel edgy, tired, and sick to their stomach. Some people have an increased appetite, but they lose weight.
Type 2 is the type of diabetes most people get as adults after the age of 40. But you can get diabetes at a younger age. Healthy eating, exercise, and losing weight may help you lower your blood sugar when you find out you have type two diabetes. If these treatments do not work, you may need one or more types of diabetes pills to lower your blood sugar. After a few more years, you may need to take insulin shots because your body is not making enough insulin. Your pancreas usually makes plenty of insulin. But you body cannot correctly use the insulin you make. You might get this type of diabetes if members of your family have or had diabetes. You might also get type 2 diabetes if you weigh too much or do not exercise enough. After you have had type two diabetes for a few years, your body may stop making enough insulin. Then you will need to take diabetes pills or insulin.
Other signs and symptoms are:
1. Repeated or hard-to-heal infections of the skin, gums, vagina, or bladder.
2. Blurred vision.
3. Tingling or loss of feeling in the hands or feet.
4. Dry, itchy skin.
What are the Risk Factors?
Genetic Risk Factors
Medical Risk Factors
One of the best predictors — or risk factors — of Type 2 diabetes is impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). People with IGT have higher-than-normal blood glucose levels, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. Most experts believe that IGT is an early stage in the natural history of diabetes. As with Type 2 diabetes, IGT is very prevalent among Hispanic Americans.
Obesity
Obesity is a major risk factor for Type 2 diabetes, and Hispanics are more likely than non-Hispanic whites to be overweight. It is known that the prevalence of obesity is higher in Mexican-Americans and they are known to be two to four times more likely to have Type 2 diabetes than non-Hispanic white Americans of similar weight. Figure 2 compares the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes between Mexican-Americans and non-Hispanic whites by the level of obesity. The degree to which obesity is a risk factor for diabetes depends not just on overall weight, but also on the location of the excess weight. Central or upper body, obesity is a greater risk factor for Type 2 diabetes, compared to excess weight carried below the waist. Mexican-Americans with upper body obesity have increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.
One of the most important things you can do is maintain a clear and direct communication between a primary care provider. Your provider will be able to help you the most. This is important because they will be able to determine your level of illness. Treatment consists of taking medication by mouth or injecting insulin, controlling food intake, testing urine or blood daily, and exercising daily. Diabetics must also inspect their skin and feet, have yearly eye examinations, and learn to recognize signs of high and low blood pressure. Most people make insulin in their pancreas. If you have type one diabetes, your body does not make insulin. Insulin helps sugar from the foods you eat get to all parts of your body to use for energy. Because your body no longer makes insulin, you need to take insulin in shots. Take your insulin as your doctor tells you.
Type 2 is the type of diabetes most people get as adults after the age of 40. But you can get diabetes at a younger age. Healthy eating, exercise, and losing weight may help you lower your blood sugar when you find out you have type two diabetes. If these treatments do not work, you may need one or more types of diabetes pills to lower your blood sugar. After a few more years, you may need to take insulin shots because your body is not making enough insulin. Your pancreas usually makes plenty of insulin. But you body cannot correctly use the insulin you make. You might get this type of diabetes if members of your family have or had diabetes. You might also get type 2 diabetes if you weigh too much or do not exercise enough. After you have had type two diabetes for a few years, your body may stop making enough insulin. Then you will need to take diabetes pills or insulin.
There are four things you have to do everyday if you have diabetes: eat healthy food, get regular exercise, take your diabetes medicine, and test your blood sugar. Experts say most people with diabetes should try to keep their blood sugar level as close as possible to the level of someone who does not have diabetes. This may not be possible or right for everyone. Check with your doctor about the right range of blood sugar for you.
Along with all the healthy eating and exercise you must take your medication and also test your blood sugar everyday. It is also very important to take good records so you and your doctor can see your progress.
Nutritional Deficit – ADHD & Children
ADHD – Are Kids Being Misdiagnosed?
When you have a headache, you know there are many possible causes, ranging from the mild to the very serious. When you see your doctor, she will likely ask you detailed questions about how long the headaches have been taking place, what type of pain you are feeling, when they occur, and what other symptoms you’re experiencing. Without a thorough assessment and examination, it would be absurd for your doctor to diagnose you with a brain tumor or the flu, both of which can give you a headache. And, of course, the treatment for a brain tumor versus a virus would look very different.
The same thing is true of mental illness: many common symptoms occur for a variety of reasons, and can reflect several different diagnoses. That’s why a good mental health professional will give your child a thorough evaluation based on a broad range of information before coming up with a diagnosis. It’s crucial to understand what’s really behind a given behavior because, just as in medicine, the diagnosis your child receives can drastically change the appropriate treatment. ADHD medications, for example, won’t work if a child’s inattention or disruptive behavior is caused by anxiety, not ADHD. And, just like a medical doctor, when a treatment doesn’t work, whether it’s therapeutic or pharmaceutical, one of the things a good clinician will do is reexamine the diagnosis.
Children’s A.D.D. Drugs Don’t Work Long-Term
Attention-deficit drugs increase concentration short term, but when given to children over long periods of time, they neither improve school achievement nor reduce behavior problems. The drugs can also have serious side effects. Parents who take their children off the drugs find that behavior worsens, which most likely confirms their belief that the drugs work. But the behavior worsens because the children’s bodies have become adapted – because the drugs are habit-forming.
Can Breakfast Make Kids Smarter?
Effect of breakfast composition on cognitive processes in elementary school children (download PDF)
Feb. 5, 2013 – New research from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing has found that children who regularly have breakfast on a near-daily basis had significantly higher full scale, verbal, and performance IQ test scores.
In one of the first studies to examine IQ and breakfast consumption, researchers examined data from 1,269 children six years old in China, where breakfast is highly valued, and concluded that children who did not eat breakfast regularly had 5.58 points lower verbal, 2.50 points lower performance, and 4.6 points lower total IQ scores than children who often or always ate breakfast after adjusting for seven sociodemographic confounders. “Childhood is a critical period in which dietary and lifestyle patterns are initiated, and these habits can have important immediate and long-term implications,” said lead author Jianghong-Liu, PhD, RN, FAAN, associate professor at Penn Nursing. “Breakfast habits appear to be no exception, and irregular breakfast eating has already been associated with a number of unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, frequent alcohol use, and infrequent exercise.”
At age 6, a child’s cognitive ability as both the verbal and performance levels is rapidly developing. Both the nutritional and social aspects of breakfast play a role. After a whole night of fasting, breakfast serves as a means to supply “fuel” to the brain. Meanwhile, social interaction at breakfast time with parents may promote brain development. Mealtime discussions may facilitate cognitive development by offering children the opportunity to expand their vocabulary, practice synthesizing and comprehending stories, and acquire general knowledge, noted the authors.
The researchers suggest that schools play a role in stressing the importance of eating breakfast by delaying start times and/or providing breakfast to allow students to profit from the cognitive benefits of eating before a morning curriculum.
“Because adequate nutrition in early childhood has been linked to increased IQ through childhood, which is related to decreased childhood behavioral disorders, better career satisfaction, and socioeconomic success in adults, breakfast consumption could ultimately benefit long-term physical and mental health outcomes as well a quality of life,” said Dr. Liu. “These findings may reflect nutritional as well as social benefits of breakfast consumption on children and hold important public health implications regarding regular breakfast consumption in early young children.
This study was based on data collected from the China Jintan Child Cohort Study, led by Dr. Liu, an on-going prospective longitudinal study with the main aim of assessing the early health risk factors for the development of child neurobehavioral outcomes. The study was funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Teaching parents and children about nutrition and long term health goals, looking at natural brain foods for Cognition and Concentration should play a major role in children that are diagnosed with ADHD. Walnuts, Berries, Carrots, Fish, Spinach and of course a Healthy Breakfast. Learn more about how nutrition can benefit a child diagnosed with ADHD before medication. Read about the side effects and long term uses. Contact Dr. Green and make your appointment today to discuss your child’s nutritional needs.
Dr. Haughton-Green is a board certified pediatrician and pediatric bariatrician with years of experience with creating special nutritional plans to children with symptoms of ADHD.
Some of the breakfast ideas include:
Breakfast One
• 1 boiled egg with
• 3 sliced of pork bacon
• 5 strawberries
• 8 ounces of water
Breakfast Two
• 1 scrambled egg with 3 slices turkey bacon
• 1/2 an apple and 8 ounces of water
Breakfast Three
• 2 scoops of Vi-Shake
• 8 ounces of dark chocolate almond milk
• 1/3 banana
• and tsp of peanut butter.
Breakfast Four
1 cup Vi-Crunch cereal with almond or soy milk.
Breakfast Five
• 1 waffle made from 2 scoops of ViShake mix
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce.
Nutritional management is one aspect that has been relatively neglected as a treatment for Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Nutritional factors such as food additives, refined sugars, food sensitivities/allergies, and fatty acid deficiencies have all been linked to ADHD. There is increasing evidence that many children with behavioral problems are sensitive to one or more food components that can negatively impact their behavior. Individual response is an important factor for determining the proper approach in treating children with ADHD. In general, diet modification plays a major role in the management of ADHD and should be considered as part of the treatment protocol.
The lack of proper nutrients to the brain must be treated first and see if symptoms resolve. Then the other diagnoses below must be considered.
Many common symptoms occur for a variety of reasons, and can reflect several different diagnoses. That’s why a good mental health professional will give your child a thorough evaluation based on a broad range of information before coming up with a diagnosis. It’s crucial to understand what’s really behind a given behavior because, just as in medicine, the diagnosis your child receives can drastically change the appropriate treatment. ADHD medications, for example, won’t work if a child’s inattention or disruptive behavior is caused by anxiety, not ADHD. And, just like a medical doctor, when a treatment doesn’t work, whether it’s therapeutic or pharmaceutical, one of the things a good clinician will do is reexamine the diagnosis.
Here we take a look at some of the common psychiatric symptoms that are easily misinterpreted in children and teenagers, leading to misdiagnosis. For each symptom, we explain the diagnosis it is commonly linked to, and what some of the alternate causes for what that behavior might be. (This list is only meant to be used as a guide, and it is important to always consult with a trained diagnostician before beginning treatment or assigning a label to your child.)
1. Inattention
The common diagnosis: ADHD
The symptom of inattention is often first observed by teachers, who may notice a student who is unusually easily distracted, is prone to daydreaming, and has difficulty completing homework assignments and following directions. While all children, especially those who are very young, tend to have shorter attention spans than adults, some children have much more trouble focusing than others.
Inattention that is outside the typical range is one of the three key symptoms of ADHD, along with impulsivity, and hyperactivity. So when a child seems unusually distracted ADHD tends to be the first thing parents and clinicians suspect. However, there are many other possibilities that can be contributing to inattention.
“The kid who is inattentive could be inattentive because he has ADHD,” notes Dr. Steven Kurtz, the senior director of the ADHD and Disruptive Behavior Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute. “Or he could be inattentive because he is worried about his grandmother who’s sick in the hospital, or because he’s being bullied on the playground and the next period is recess.”
Other Possibilities:
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder:
Many children with OCD are distracted by their obsessions and compulsions, and when the OCD is severe enough, they can spend the majority of their day obsessing. This can interfere with their lives in many ways, including paying attention in school. And since children with OCD are often ashamed of their symptoms, they may go to great lengths to hide their compulsions. It is not uncommon to see children keep their rituals under control while they are at school, only to be overwhelmed by them when they get home. Therefore, a teacher may notice a student having difficulty focusing and assume he has an attention problem, since his OCD is not apparent to her.
“A kid may be sitting in class having an obsession about needing to fix something, to avoid something terrible happening. Then the teacher calls on him,” says Dr. Jerry Bubrick, the senior director of the Anxiety and Mood Disorder Center at the Child Mind Institute. “When he doesn’t know the answer to the question, it looks like he wasn’t paying attention, but it’s really because he was obsessing.”
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder:
Children can also appear to be suffering from inattention when they have been impacted by a trauma. “Many of the symptoms of PTSD look like ADHD,” explains Dr. Jamie Howard, the director of the Trauma Response and Education Service at the Child Mind Institute. “Symptoms common in PTSD, such as difficulty concentrating, exaggerated startle response, and hypervigilance can make it seem like a child is jumpy and spacy.”
Learning Disorder:
When a child seems to be looking everywhere but at the pages of the book she is supposed to be reading, another possible cause is that she has a learning disorder. Undiagnosed dyslexia can not only make a youngster fidget with frustration, she may be ashamed that she doesn’t seem to be able to do what the other kids can do, and intent on covering that fact up. Feeling like a failure is a big impediment to concentration, and anything that might relieve the feeling a welcome distraction.
“Fifty percent of kids who have learning disabilities have inattention,” notes Dr. Nancy Rappaport, a Harvard Medical School professor who specializes in mental health care in school settings. “For these kids, we need to intervene to support their learning deficits, otherwise treating them with stimulants will be a bust.”
The trickiest cases, Dr. Rapport adds, are really smart kids who have successfully compensated for their learning disabilities for years, by working extra hard. “They’ve been able to hide their weakness until they get older and there’s just too much heavy lifting. They’re often diagnosed with ADHD or depression, unless someone catches the learning problem.
2. Repetitive distressing thoughts
The common diagnosis: PTSD
Intrusive thoughts and memories that a child can’t control are one of the key symptoms of PTSD. Clinicians think of PTSD as a damaged “fight or flight” response in a child who has had a disturbing experience, whether it was an upsetting event or a pattern of domestic violence or abuse. The experience is in the past, but the child keeps reliving the anxiety.
This can take place in the form of flashbacks, thinking about the event over and over, or experiencing frightening thoughts that get “stuck.”
Other possibilities:
OCD:
“In both OCD and PTSD, you can experience thoughts that intrude, thoughts that you don’t want to be thinking about,” said Dr. Howard. “These thoughts come into your head, without your volition and without your control. In both cases, they cause you distress, and you have to work to manage them.” But there is a major difference between the repetitive thoughts in OCD and PTSD, Dr. Howard notes: “With OCD it will be a concept the causes you distress, but with PSTD it’s an actual memory of something that happened.”
3. Restricted speech
The common diagnosis: Autism
Autism is a developmental disorder that causes a child to have impairments in communication. Children with autism may have a delay in (or complete lack of) the development of spoken language. The most obvious signs of autism are usually noticed between 2 and 3 years of age. Although many children on the spectrum do speak, they may use language in unusual ways, avoid eye contact, and prefer to be alone. Autism may first be noticed by school professionals, who become aware that the child is not interacting socially with his peers in an appropriate way.
Other Possibilities:
Selective Mutism:
Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder in which children do not speak in particular social situations. Many children with selective mutism are talkative at home, but there may be a complete lack of speech in other settings, such as in school. They may not communicate with peers or teachers at all, which can lead to school professionals being concerned about their social development. These social difficulties may lead some school personnel to jump to the conclusion that they are on the autism spectrum.
“You can have difficulty with communication for a lot of reasons,” notes Dr. Kurtz. “The thing to look for is the consistency across situations. Kids with SM will be quite social and quite fabulous chatterboxes in some settings, otherwise they probably don’t have SM.”
When it comes to making a diagnosis, it is important to make the distinction between a skills deficit and a performance deficit. Children with selective mutism have a performance deficit because they have the ability to speak but cannot demonstrate it in every setting, while children on the spectrum have skills deficits, so can’t demonstrate certain skills regardless of the setting.
Children with selective mutism may also display other symptoms that may lead to alarm bells being sounded for autism. Some kids with SM appear very “shut down” in their affect. “Because the kid’s trying, whether he knows it or not, to convince people to back off, he’s also going to have poor eye contact like a kid on the spectrum, flat affect like a kid on the spectrum,” said Dr. Kurtz. “He’s not going to look like a kid whose only issue is that he is stuck in terms of being able to talk.”
4. Sadness, fatigue, and difficulties thinking clearly
The common diagnosis: Depression
It is easy for most people to recognize the symptoms of depression: feelings of sadness, decreased interest in usual pleasurable activities, fatigue, weight changes, and difficulty concentrating. While it is normal for everyone to feel “down in the dumps” sometimes, children experiencing sadness or irritability that lasts for more than two weeks and impairs their ability to function may be thought of as experiencing a depressive episode.
Other Possibilities:
Hypothyroidism:
Hypothyroidism happens when your thyroid (a gland in your neck) is not secreting enough of certain important hormones. The symptoms of hypothyroidism look very similar to those of depression, and include fatigue, weight gain, feelings of sadness, and difficulty thinking clearly. However, the treatment for hypothyroidism is very different: children with hypothyroidism are treated using a thyroid replacement hormone.
Anxiety Disorder:
Certain anxiety disorders, such as OCD, can be extremely impairing and scary to the person experiencing them. Children with OCD can have obsessions about invoking harm to their loved ones, as well as other violent or sexual images. While these obsessions are not true to what the child actually wants to happen, he has difficulty getting them out of his head. There are times when depressed mood is what is noticed first, but it may be secondary to another condition such as OCD. Due to the shameful thoughts that many children with OCD have, they may not feel comfortable sharing many of them, and may get misdiagnosed with depression.
“There are many cases where children who have fears or worrisome thoughts become depressed because they are scared and feel like things won’t get better,” explains Dr. Rachel Busman, a clinical psychologist in the Anxiety and Mood Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute. “That’s why it’s so important to accurately assess the symptoms and obtain a history that explains when they started. There are excellent treatments for anxiety disorders and depression-once a diagnosis is made, treatment can target these symptoms.”
5. Disruptive behavior
The common diagnosis: ODD
Most children have occasional temper tantrums or outbursts, but when kids repeatedly lash out, are defiant, or can’t control their tempers, it can seriously impair their functioning in school and cause significant family turmoil. Often, these children are thought to have oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), which is characterized by a pattern of negative, hostile, or defiant behavior. Symptoms of ODD include a child losing his temper, arguing with adults, becoming easily annoyed, or actively disobeying requests or rules. In order to be diagnosed with ODD, the child’s disruptive behavior must be occurring for at least six months and be negatively affecting his life at school or at home.
Other possibilities:
Anxiety Disorders:
Children with anxiety disorders have significant difficulty coping with situations that cause them distress. When a child with an untreated anxiety disorder is put into an anxiety-inducing situation, he may become oppositional in an effort to escape that situation or avoid the source of his acute fear. For example, a child with acute social anxiety may lash out at another child if he finds himself in a difficult situation. A child with OCD may become extremely upset and scream at his parents when they do not provide him with the constant repetitive reassurance that he uses to manage his obsessive fears. “It probably occurs more than we think, either anxiety that looks disruptive or anxiety coexisting with disruptive behaviors,” said Dr. Busman. “And this goes right back to why we have to have a comprehensive and good diagnostic assessment.”
ADHD:
Many children with ADHD, especially those who experience impulsivity and hyperactivity, may exhibit many symptoms that make them appear oppositional. These children may have difficulty sitting still, they may touch and play with anything they can get their hands on, blurt out inappropriate remarks, have difficulty waiting their turn, interrupt others, and act without thinking through the consequences. These symptoms are more a result of their impaired executive functioning skills-their ability to think ahead and assess the impact of their behavior-than purposeful oppositional behavior.
Learning Disorder
When a child acts out repeatedly in school, it’s possible that the behavior stems from an undiagnosed learning disorder. Say he has extreme difficulty mastering math skills, and laboring unsuccessfully over a set of problems makes him very frustrated and irritible. Or he knows next period is math class.
“Kids with learning problems can be masters at being deceptive-they don’t want to expose their vulnerability. They want to distract you from recognizing their struggle,” explains Dr. Rappaport. “If a child has problems with writing or math or reading, rather than ask for help or admit that he’s stuck, he may rip up an assignment, or start something with another child to create a diversion.”
Paying attention to when the problematic behavior happens can lead to exposing a learning issue, she adds. “When parents and teachers are looking for the causes of dysregulation, it helps to note when it happens-to flag weaknesses and get kids support.”

Published: April 9, 2013 Childmind.org Child Mind Institute Missed a biggie for typical ADHD diagnosis: Tourette. Largely, if a kid has issues controlling their own body because of tourette, a diagnosis of ADHD is far too easy an explanation. In fact, the subjective nature of ADHD testing is far too easy to explain anything meaningful actually. Just saying, see someone that looks far deeper correlating observable behavior with a diagnosis and, from experience, it’s usually something… meaningful?
PANDAS (aka PANDAS/PANS/PITANDS), an infection triggered autoimmune disorder (think “rheumatic fever of the brain”) can be an underlying medical cause of ALL of the misdiagnoses/behavioral problems discussed in your article. Symptoms of PANDAS can include anxiety, rage attacks, ODD, sensory issues, OCD, depression, learning and handwriting issues, and ADHD. These children may even be misdiagnosed as autistic or bipolar. Classically, PANDAS is described as acute onset OCD and/or tics…but too often children go misdiagnosed for years because clinicians don’t understand the true scope of PANDAS symptoms and presentations. The actue onset kids are “easiest” to diagnose. Those afflicted from an early age, or those with a more gradual onset of symptoms are most often misdiagnosed. Sadly, this very treatable cause of neuropsychiatric symptoms isn’t even on the radar for most mental health professionals. These kids often collect an “alphabet soup” of psychiatric diagnoses and tend to be refractory to treatment with traditional psychiatric drugs and therapy. Effective treatment of PANDAS usually includes antibiotics and immunotheraphy (sometimes IVIG, PEX, and/or steroids). Any underlying infections, which can include otherwise asymptomatic strep infections, mycoplasma, and Lyme/other tick borne diseases must be addressed.
