What is ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?
Imagine living in a fast-moving kaleidoscope, where sounds, images, and thoughts are constantly shifting. Feeling easily bored, yet helpless to keep your mind on tasks you need to complete.
Distracted by unimportant sights and sounds, your mind drives you from one thought or activity to the next. Perhaps you are so wrapped up in a collage of thoughts and images that you don't notice when someone speaks to you.
For many people, this is what it's like to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. They may be unable to sit still, plan ahead, finish tasks, or be fully aware of what's going on around them.
To their family, classmates or coworkers, they seem to exist in a whirlwind of disorganized or frenzied activity. Unexpectedly - on some days and in some situations - they seem fine, often leading others to think the person with ADHD can actually control these behaviors.
As a result, the disorder can affect the person's relationships with others in addition to disrupting their daily life, consuming energy, and diminishing self-esteem.
ADHD, once called hyper kinesis or minimal brain dysfunction, is one of the most common mental disorders among children. It affects 3 to 5 percent of all children and perhaps as many as 2 million American children.
Two to three times more boys than girls are affected. On the average, at least one child in every classroom in the United States needs help for the disorder. ADHD often continues into adolescence and adulthood, and can cause a lifetime of frustrated dreams and emotional pain.
What are the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment?
In order to better understand how to deal with you or your child's ADHD, we have compiled a number of resources for your convenience. These include articles, web site links, FAQ's and online counseling sessions with our Clinical Psychologist, Michele Carelse (an expert in dealing with ADHD) as well as downloadable eBooklets on ADHD.

What is a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)?
Infections of the Urinary Tract are extremely common, accounting for more than 8 million doctor's visits a year. Approximately 8 - 10 million people in the USA develop a UTI each year. Men, women and children develop UTI's.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTI's) usually occurs when bacteria enter the opening of the urethra and multiply in the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the two kidneys, ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder itself, and the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the urethral opening).
Twenty percent of women in the United States develop a UTI and twenty percent of those have a recurrence.
What is the usual treatment for a UTI?
Once a UTI has been diagnosed, most conventional doctors choose antibiotics as the preferred treatment. A course of antibiotics can quickly cure a UTI and kill the bacteria that cause it.
Although antibiotics certainly have their place, there are two main problems with antibiotic use for urinary tract infections:
1. Due to the frequency of antibiotic use for UTI's and other infections, bacteria are developing a resistance to the antibiotics, making them less and less effective. The 'smarter' the antibiotics become, the 'smarter' the bacteria become as well. Eventually, the bacteria will mutate to avoid the effects of the antibiotics.
2. Frequent use of antibiotics will also affect your immune system functioning. As we have seen above, a healthy immune system is important in the prevention of UTI's. This means that the antibiotics that are used to cure your UTI may make another infection more likely in the near future.
Natural Remedies
There are many natural herbs which are extremely effective in the treatment and prevention of UTI's. Some of these have been used for centuries and many have been subjected to clinical trials which prove their effectiveness.
