Tom Stone's List: ADHD Research

• Adults with ADHD lose nearly a month’s worth of productivity at work each year, compared to adults who don’t have ADHD, according to a new study by the World Health Organization.
• 7,075 workers in 10 countries
• the 3.5 percent of adults meeting the criteria for ADHD largely go untreated
• The findings suggest that, because ADHD is so prevalent in the working population, it would be profitable for employers to explore targeted workplace screening and treatment programs. Many advocates say that the right diagnosis and treatment would help countless adults with ADD, who may be struggling or underachieving, to function at their full capability on the job.
• Another interesting note: Of the 3.5 percent of workers who had ADHD, the rate was highest in France at 6.3 percent, and lowest in Lebanon (0.9 percent). The U.S. rate was above the average at 4.5 percent, with about 28.3 days lost per worker, one of the highest numbers of the nations studied.

• Although this artilce mentions that about 3.5% of the population studied were assessed as having ADHD, there is additional new information available about one of the apparent major underlying causes of ADD/ADHD suggesting that the problem is much broader even that this.
  
  It has been discovered that there is a residual effect of the disease of Tuberculosis that is inherted that may be one of the major underlying cause of ADD/ADHD. It is know as a Tuberculosis miasm or TB miasm. Medical researchers as much as 100 years ago observed that the aftermath of TB was a symptom picture which as described 100 years ago was nearly identical to what we now call ADHD.
  
  In fact there is research going on at the NIH in which they are looking for the gene responsible for ADHD as there is common acknowledgement that the condition runs in families.
  
  Other research done in Aftrica (where there is an abundance of case of TB indicates the clear connection between TB and ADHD.
  
  Espeically interesting is that the TB miasm seems to be a pattern of energy that attaches itself to the DNA almost like a computer virus attached to an email and at conception this tiny disruptive pattern of energy gets transfered to the embryo and then replicates into the trillions of cells that form the body.
  
  What is even more interesting is that the energy pattern of the TB miasm has been isolated by German researchers and is now being used with a new techbnology that inverts the waveform of the energy pattern and sends it to the body where it cancels out the disruptive influence caused by the TB miasm.
  
  Double blind, placebo controlled, randomized research is currently underway to validate and quantify the remarkable clinical results that have been seen from this approach. You can learn more about it at www.VaporizeYourADD.com. - Tom Stone on 2008-09-08
