AFP - The erectile dysfunction drug Viagra has proven effective at combating sexual dysfunction in depressed women, according to a study published Tuesday.
If you want proof, you need only to look at the medications prescribed for ADHD. When our body has enough Dopamine we're blessed with feelings of bliss and pleasure, euphoric, appetite control, controlled motor movements, and we feel focused.
Dopamine, along with norepinephrine, has come to be recognized as playing a large role in attention and focus. For people with ADD/ADHD, psychostimulant medications such as Ritalin/Concerta (methylphenidate), Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine), and Adderall (a racemic mixture of amphetamine salts) are prescribed to help increase our usage of norepinephrine and dopamine.
Strattera (atomoxetine), a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is a unique ADD/ADHD medication, as it affects only norepinephrine, rather than dopamine.
Dopamine and Norepinephrine are neurotransmitters in our central nervous system in the brain. Our body manufacturers these neurotransmitters using amino acids we take in daily with our food. Our body Is capable of automatically manufacturing the quantity of chemicals (neurotransmitters) it needs iF given the raw materials (nutrients from foods) to purchase pure rs alpha lipoic acid ala so!
Unfortunately, our foods no longer contain this necessary fuel for our brains to manufacture the quantity of neurotransmitters we need. We are then led to believe medication is our only alternative. Medications are prescribed to control and hide the symptoms caused by our dietary deficiency.
These medications do nothing to manufacture these neurotransmitters . . . in fact, they act to further reduce these important chemicals in our brain.
Since neurotransmitters are manufactured in our brain from nutrients we should ingest daily from our foods and if our foods no longer supply these nutrients, it would appear that we should use nutritional supplements to supply what our diet no longer gives our body.
The amino acids which is used by our body to manufacture dopamine and norepinephrine is phenylalanine combined with co-factors such as vitamin B-6. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid because it can not be manufactured by our body but must be ingested on a daily basis. Isn't it time to consider natural solutions for ADD/ADHD instead of giving drugs to our children?
