The VÄXA Attend
Strategy Pac, is a acientifically advanced neurological and
cerebral homeopathic medicinal strategy, is a 3-formula health
strategy that offers safe, all natural nutritional support
for those individuals experiencing distraction, inattentiveness
and possible overactivity. It is thought that such individuals
experience neurochemical deficiencies resulting in an imbalance
in stimulation of the Reticular Activating System which may
affect neural growth and neurotransmitter production within
the Brain and Central Nervous System (CNS).
Attend is formulated to supply the essential nutrients the body
needs for the entire neural network. Memorin provides nutritional
support to aid the body in memory retention, making learning
easier and with less frustration. Extress aids the body's natural
process in minimizing and controlling unpredictable mood fluctuations.
Each Attend Strategy Pac contains:
1 bottle of Attend (60 caps), 1 bottle of Memorin (60 caps)
and 1 bottle of Extress (60 caps).
What Is Attention Deficit?
There are a number of children and adolescents who experience
problems of overactivity and Attention Deficit, causing themselves
and those who care for them significant distress and a wealth
of negative unsatisfactory experiences. There's often nothing
more frustrating than seeing, or being, a child/adolescent who
experiences learning problems, or LD (Learning Disorder) and
ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder). These individuals may often be out of control, over-stimulated,
under-stimulated, or experience uncontrolled stimulation patterns
throughout their sensorium, exhibiting behavioral patterns which
are difficult to explain and which often disrupt an entire household.
Attention Deficit (and its many forms: ADD/ADHD/LD) is a dysfunction
of the Central Nervous System (CNS), most specifically the Reticular
Activating System, which results in difficulties of maintaining
attention and concentration, learning and memory, as well as
involving an inability to process and sort out incoming information
or stimulus from both an individual's inner (subjective) and
outer (objective) worlds. It may manifest itself in undue passivity
or inattentiveness, or unruly, uncontrollable, aggressive hyperactivity
in affected individuals. Attention Deficit is often overly frustrating,
overwhelming and stressful to affected individuals, resulting
in significant emotional and psychological problems. Thus, Attention
Deficit globally interferes with all forms of learning, both
academic and experiential, including the processes of socialization.
What Are The Causes Of Attention Deficit?
Attention Deficit is a limiting metabolic dysfunction of the
Reticular Activating System, the center of consciousness that
coordinates learning and memory, and which normally supplies
the variety of appropriate neural connections necessary for
smooth information processing and clear, non-stressful attention.
This metabolic dysfunction first restricts the development of
neural connections and the required neural density needed for
efficient, multi-varied processing (i.e., perceptual processing
equipment of the body, the "wiring hardware," is in scant supply).
Secondly, this "hardware" limitation subsequently leads to secondary
imbalances of neurotransmitter production (i.e., the "programming
switches" or "software" which turns the hardware "on" and "off,"
such as dopamine and norepinephrine), and faulty neuro-buffering
which produces further imbalances in right and left hemispheric
processing.
How Does This "Hardware" Deprivation Affect Learning and
Memory?
Memory and associative patterns (engrams) constantly require
newly generated neural connections within the brain with increasing
amounts of neurotransmitters and buffers to serve those connections
(synapses). When neural building materials are lacking, demand
for further connectivity cannot easily be fulfilled, interfering
with the efficient processing of information, and frustrating
the AD individual, making learning enormously difficult, if
not impossible. In other words, neural "hardware" remains in
limited production (there's not enough of it), and the supply
of new "roadways" or "wiring" cannot keep up with the demand
(increasing stimulus or "traffic") for new neural connections
within the Central Nervous System (CNS). Thus, demands for new
learning, memory, and the management of information processing
cannot be satisfied.
What Are The Effects Of Not Having Enough "Hardware Connections"?
Insufficient "connections" result in existing neural pathways
being repeatedly overworked and over stressed, often resulting
in complete gridlock or shutdown so that nothing gets processed
thereafter. This, most noticeably, generates frustration, bewilderment
and behavioral problems in the Attention Deficited individual.
How Does This Limitation Affect An Individual's Perceptual
Abilities?
Although Attention Deficit starts in the brain, it really involves
the entire sensorium (vision, smell, touch, hearing, etc.) as
well as the inner world of cognition and emotion. When deprived
of the required number of neural connections needed to process
the "traffic" smoothly, competition between various stimulus
results. Overly competitive stimulation from multiple external
and internal sources (too much visual stimulation, too much
sound stimulation, too many internal feelings and emotions,
etc.) can cause undue frustration, irritation, aggression and
anxiety. When the brain, or more specifically, the limited neural
network or "wiring," is overly taxed in this regard, it becomes
unable to "tune in" or focus on some stimulation, while "tuning
out," or "turning down" (attenuating) other stimulation.
This lack of ability to focus on some particular stimulus while
attenuating others, creates undue "noise" in the perceptual
systems within the brain. For the Attention Deficited individual,
this perceptual "neural-noise" is so undifferentiated, so overly
noxious and continuous that it appears to be competitively assaultive,
crippling any attempt to concentrate on one stimulus while attenuating
others. So intrusive and uncontrollable is this "noise" that
feelings of helplessness and anxiety are often overwhelming,
forcing an Attention Deficited individual to look for ways in
which to survive the assaultive nature of their world.
A number of strategies are possible, but two are generally the
most common and most easily documented. The first is that of
an ADHD individual. ADHD's are hypothesized to have ample supplies
of Acetylcholine and clear, lipofuscin-free, unobstructed Cholinergic
pathways, allowing them to actively compete and overwhelm the
intrusive messages from outside. Thus, ADHD individuals attempt
to operate at a "noisier" or "more active" level (becoming intensely
hyperactive) in order to compensate for the "noise" in their
world. Most simply, ADHD individuals are for the most part simply
trying to "shout-down" the crowded array of competing stimulation
within their brain. And they usually win, although only for
the short term. The more they assert themselves over the "noise,"
the more tired and worn they become.
But the picture is slightly different for the ADD and LD individual.
ADD's and LD's are hypothesized to have low Acetylcholine levels
and adverse lipofuscin populations within the Cholinergic neural
pathways, making a competitive response more difficult and trying.
Here, another strategy of deflection is practiced. For both
an ADD and LD individual it becomes so "noisy" that it becomes
necessary to shut down all processing of the senses altogether,
avoiding and deflecting all stimulation. For both these individuals,
the incessant cacophony of "neural-noises" produces a powerfully
competitive "numbing," almost hypnotic, agent, wearing out neural
sensitivities and response probabilities far faster than for
ADHD individuals, disallowing any further stimulus differentiation
to occur or responsive attention to take place. Simply "giving-up"
to the competitively powerful undifferentiated "white-neural-noise"
being generated by their sensorium becomes the only option --
no other strategies are available because the neural-thresholds
of the sensorium have over-fired and can no longer be sustained.
Thus, unlike other children, the ADD and LD individual simply
"shut-down" and "tune-out," producing high Theta and/or Alpha
brain waves. To summarize, the inattentiveness, restlessness,
distractibility and "unmanageableness" which is so often the
overriding picture of the ADD/ADHD/LD child and adult is often
just the manifestation of a perceptual "survival" strategy needed
by individuals "drowning" in a sea of intrusively aggressive
stimulus "noise" - "noise" which is too overwhelming to sort
through or manage.
Does The Number Of "Hardware Connections" Affect Intelligence?
It's generally true that the more neural "connections" that
are made, the more easily learning and memory may proceed. And,
the less "connections" there are, the more frustrating learning
and memory become. Thus, the correlation between the number/density
of "connections" in a person's brain and intelligence, is high.
Ironically, Attention Deficited persons are generally those,
in the face of increased demand, that have likely maximized
the use of the "connections" they have developed, some eventually
learning to increase the efficiency of processing to meet the
challenge. Hence, many are subsequently known to be above average
in intelligence -- but it's possible that they would likely
be even smarter if they could be provided the building material
for more connections, allowing them the additional hardware,
and thus the increased capacity, to associate information even
more creatively, while reducing the frustrations and anguish
of being imprisoned in a neural system which they have physically
outgrown!
Can Anything Be Done To Correct The Metabolic Dysfunction
Of The Reticular Activating System?
Yes, there can! Fortunately, when appropriate (1) neural building
materials, (2) precursors to neurotransmitters and (3) an appropriate
fund of neural buffers are supplied, neural networks may be
created and forged quickly in order to meet the increasing demands
of heavy neural traffic, especially in the prepubescent individual.
In fact, given the chance, individual neurons can grow at the
rate of 3-5mm per day! And, there are roughly 100 billion Neurons
in the brain to be developed, along with a staggering 900 billion
supporting Glial ("helper") cells -- a grand total of one trillion
(1,000,000,000,000) cells to be nurtured -- that's 10 times
the number of stars estimated to be in our galaxy!
Are These Neural Building Materials Really All That Important?
Yes, they are! One half of the dry weight of the brain (neurons,
glial and brain cells) is made up of fatty acids and lipids.
The "hard neural connections," or synapses, between all these
essential areas of the brain where the coordination of memory
and learning take place is largely made possible by the structures
of Fatty Acids and Phospholipids alone. And, the physical number
of neural connections then potentiates further production of
neurotransmitters and neural buffers, which in turn enhances
memory processing and learning even more. If these essential
building blocks of the brain's "hardware" and "software" are
not adequately provided for, then many "connections" will simply
not be made or developed. The good news is that Växa's Attend
supplies these important factors!
What Is Attend?
Växa's Attend is a safe, all natural, homeopathic medicinal
specifically engineered to relieve the distraction, inattentiveness
and possible overactivity of the ADD/ADHD/LD individual, enabling
the body to balance both neural growth and neurotransmitter
production within the Brain and Central Nervous System (CNS).
Attend is engineered to naturally address the specific dietary
and neurochemical deficiencies which are thought to occur within
the population of Attention Deficited individuals, whether from
child or adult populations. Attend is formulated to supply the
essential building materials for the entire neural network,
potentiating balanced stimulation of the Reticular Activating
System while providing appropriate neural buffering within.
How Does Attend Work?
Quite uniquely, Attend is designed to complement the body's
natural calming and balancing agents with specific micro-nutritionals
(Lithium bromatum, carbonicum) and neurotransmitters (eg. GABA,
DLPA and other neural buffers) which help to target, direct
and smoothly focus attention, while naturally complementing
the activity of the Reticular Activating System. Attend also
supplies the essential framework of Lipids and Fatty Acids,
natural hormones, as well as neural growth and synchronization
factors quintessential for neural and glial cell generation
so as to meet the demands of increased neural "traffic" through
the Reticular Activating System. Additionally, Attend supplies
the essential catecholamine precursors (such as catechol, phospholipids
and naturally occurring trans- and cis-cloramide, a naturally
conjugated form of L-dopa) to dopamine, acetylcholine and norepinephrine,
the 3 most important neurotransmitters within the brain. And,
the natural hormone pregnenolone is included in Attend for memory
retention, which also helps maintain the specific "programming"
that brain cells need to store and retrieve short term memory,
essential in any learning paradigm. Pregnenolone is directly
related as well to neural genesis, growth and reconfiguration,
wherein gene activation is enabled, allowing the multiplication,
growth and "connectivity" of neural cells, allowing learning
to proceed with less frustration. Lastly, Pycnogenol®, and other
supporting flavonoids within Attend, help feed and strengthen
the small capillaries within new neural growth sites, preventing
free radical cascade damage to the expanding neural network,
protecting neural patterns.
How Long Do You Have To Take Attend Thereafter?
Since most demands for neural growth occur in childhood and
adolescence, all ADD/ADHD/LD children should use Attend as a
daily supplement until adulthood. Children who are exceptionally
hyperactive (ADHD) and tend to throw temper tantrums will find
additional relief with Växa's Extress. Additionally, all children
who are ADD/ADHD/LD will benefit from Växa's additional supplement
called Memorin, which aids in memory retention and makes learning
easier with less frustration. Adults who still suffer from Attention
Deficit will also be aided by taking Attend as a daily supplement
with Memorin. VÄXA's Attend Strategy Pac supplies all 3 formulas
(1 60 capsule-bottle of each) for your convenience
Are There Any Side-Effects With Attend?
No, Attend is completely safe and non-toxic! Unlike other medications,
Attend works without the harmful side-effects that may stunt
the growth of developing children. Indeed, Attend works to stimulate
neural growth patterning and regenerative activity so as to
forge more "connections" within the neural network. Interestingly,
other ADD-specific pharmaceuticals have been suspected of retarding
growth of ADD individuals, which ironically, is the last thing
you would want to do with individuals who have been neurally
limited! Furthermore, Attend works without diminishing overall
processing, cognitive and learning activities, as does methylphenidate
and other drugs, including amphetamines, antidepressants or
anticonvulsants normally prescribed for ADD, and all of which
have been shown to detrimentally diminish cognitive activity.
Attend will likely enhance the positive effectiveness of other
pharmaceuticals, and can be used conjointly without difficulty
while in transition from less preferred drugs.
How Long Do You Take Attend Before It Begins To Work?
As it takes time for new neural growth to be integrated within
existing neural pathways, the effects of Attend generally begin
to be noticed within two weeks. You should expect to see improved
social skills, more self-control, increased powers of attention,
sustained interest, and overall, a more happy, contented, well
behaved individual.
