ADHD/Weakness of Concentration in Kids

The deepest foundation in all remedies is love – these words come from the medieval physician and healer Paracelsus. Only kindness, patience and encouragement make sense – nothing else!
A child can never be an end in itself, his creation and development have to be called a miracle at every stage of the way. And miracles should be marveled at and not become subject to attempts to control them! For us that seems to be the correct attitude towards all young people. Esogetic Holistic Medicine has developed a series of concepts, which can support children in their development. Initially our focus is on the exact definition of the phenomena that are present.

What is an Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder?

In the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) we are dealing with a neurobiological disease, in which there is an altered transfer of information among the brain cells. ADHD is one of the most common disorders in childhood and adolescence. There are three characteristic core symptoms: Weakness of attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity.
The diagnosis of ADHD is quite difficult, because there are no objective parameters yet to secure the diagnosis. The disorder is primarily determined through the children’s behavior. But not every lively child or every child with diffculty in learning and concentrating has ADHD! The problematic behavior of the child has to divert significantly from that which can be expected according to the age and stage of development.

Please no rash diagnoses!

The behavior should for instance be uniformly present for at least six months. It has to show up in several areas of the child’s life.
We know today that in ADHD biological factors (genetic) as well as psychosocial factors are responsible for the development and subsistence of the disease picture. Biological limitations, like for instance lack of stimulus transfer in the brain and genetic disposition act as the general basis for the development of the disorder.

According to our empirical experience the following treatment combinations cover a large area of this topic. We are holding the view that the development in the prenatal phase is of primary importance for the childhood years. This concept is for instance the foundation for the already mentioned “prenatal therapy according to Robert St.John”. His solutions are based on the assumption that the development of the child from conception to birth is aimed at the “intelligence of sensing”. That means the growing life basically takes in everything that the mother is experiencing through her surroundings or during her own process. That also means that positive as well as negative experience potentials can settle in during the prenatal phase already as blockages and then after birth they become the triggers for specific weaknesses or diseases. The clinical protocol consists of the massage of a line on the inner arch of the foot. Moreover Robert St.John has defined other therapy lines on the hand and on the head.

The limbic system as the target for impulses in young ADHD patients.

The limbic system is of special importance as the seat of feelings and emotions. Especially in ADHD patients the limbic system in the midbrain has been blocked as a result of prenatal and early childhood experiences; it is too full, even “overflowing”. The goal of Colorpuncture is to introduce impulses into this region, so that the “trashcan of emotions” as Peter Mandel calls it, can be emptied out.
The results of these treatments had proven so positive for us that we created a more encompassing treatment form, the “prenatal colorpuncture”. We expanded the prenatal Colorpuncture through the addition of two foot lines. Each of these three therapy lines is assigned to a “level” according to the “spirit-soul-body principle”. The many feedbacks we have received from experts in the fields of pedagogy and special education needs, who have applied the Colorpuncture that Peter Mandel has developed especially in children, allow us a very optimistic stance towards the future.
