VÄXA Attend is a safe,
homeopathic medicinal specifically engineered to help support the
function of the Central Nervous System (CNS) of individuals who
are inclined to be inattentive, under- and/or overactive and perhaps
learning impaired, enabling the body to balance both neural growth
and neurotransmitter production within the Brain and Central Nervous
System.
The homeopathic ingredients in Attend support the body's ability
to:

Attend is also
offered in a complete support strategy called the Attend
Strategy Pac, 1 bottle each of Attend, Memorin and Extress.
Attend is a safe, homeopathic
medicinal specifically formulated to help support the function of
the Central Nervous System (CNS) and address the specific neurochemical
deficiencies which are thought to occur within the population of
Attention Deficited individuals, whether from child or adult populations.
Taken regularly, this homeopathic medicinal is designed to complement
the body's natural calming and balancing agents which help to focus
attention and relieve over-and-under activity, as well as the body's
appropriate, sometimes seemingly paradoxical, counterbalancing system
of energy use, and the appropriate attenuation of specific stimulation.
What Is Attention Deficit?
There's often nothing more frustrating than seeing a child or
being an adolescent who experiences learning problems. 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 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.
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 appropriate neural connections necessary for smooth information
processing and clear, non-stressful attention. 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.
In other words, neural "hardware"
remains in limited production (there's not enough of it), and supply
cannot keep up with the demand (increasing stimulus or "traffic")
for new neural connections within the Central Nervous System (CNS).
Demands for new learning, memory, and the management of information
processing cannot be satisfied, and the 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.

The Reticular Activating System and its connections. At the
center of consciousness, attention and learning.
The Reticular Activating System appears to be
intimately involved in the neural mechanisms which produce consciousness
and focused attention, receiving impulses from the spinal cord and
relaying them to the Thalamus, and from there to the Cortex, and
back again in a feedback loop to the Hippocampus/Thalamus/ Hypothalamus
and participating neural structures in order for learning and memory
to take place. Without continual excitation of cortical neurons
by reticular activation impulses, an individual is unconscious and
cannot be aroused. When stimulation is enough for consciousness
but not for attentiveness, ADD or LD results. If too activated,
an individual cannot relax or concentrate (and is over-stimulated
or hyperactive) often resulting in ADHD.
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 limited neural network 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 overly
noxious and continuous that it appears to be competitively assaultive,
crippling any attempt to concentrate on one stimulus while attenuating
others. 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. ADHDs 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. Thus, ADHD individuals attempt
to operate at a "noisier" level (becoming intensely hyperactive),
trying to "shout-down" the crowded array of competing stimulation
within their brain.
ADDs and LDs are hypothesized
to have low Acetylcholine levels and adverse lipofuscin populations
within the Cholinergic neural pathways, making a competitive response
more difficult and trying. 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.
The incessant cacophony of "neural-noises" produces a powerfully
competitive "numbing," almost hypnotic agent, and ADHD individuals
simply "give up" to the competitively powerful undifferentiated
"white-neural-noise" being generated by their sensorium 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 (see brain maps below).

Differences in activity in normal and ADD children
The brain maps on the left (1&2) are of
normal individuals: a 14 year old female and 9 year old male. The
ones on the right (3&4) are ADD individuals: a different 14
year old female and a different 9 year old male. Notice how the
two ADD individuals (3&4) demonstrate high (more red) Theta
and Alpha activity in their maps than do the normal individuals,
respectively. High Theta wave actvity is generally associated with
drowsiness; High Alpha activity is generally associated with idleness.
The ADD results (3&4) are characteristic of states of non-attentiveness,
and too little stimulation of the reticular activating system, and
probable inadequate number of connections. Thus the ADD/LD child
can effectively "tune-out" his/her environment. In contrast,
the normal children's results of low Alpha and Theta wave activity
(1&2) are characteristic of alertness and focused attentiveness,
demonstrating adequate stimulation of the reticular activating system,
and thus, an adequate number of neural connections.
What Can Be Done To
Correct This Dysfunction Of The Reticular Activating System?
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
Attend supplies these important factors!

The
basic "Hardware" of the Central Nervous System must be
in place in order for memory and learning to proceed efficiently.
The more neurons there are that can make "connections"
with other neurons, the more efficient and easy learning and remembering
may become. Without such "connectivity," learning is often
frustrated and impaired as it is with Attention Deficited individuals.

What Is Attend?
VÄXA Attend is a safe, all-natural, homeopathic medicinal specifically
engineered to help support the function of the Central Nervous System
of individuals who are inclined to be inattentive, under and/or
overactive and perhaps learning impaired, enabling the body to balance
both neural growth and neurotransmitter production within the Brain
and Central Nervous System (CNS). Attend is formulated to supply
the essential building materials for the entire neural network,
helping to potentiate balanced stimulation of the Reticular Activating
System while aiding the body in 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 homeopathic ingredients
(Lithium bromatum, carbonicum) which help to target, direct and
smoothly focus attention, while naturally complementing the activity
of the Reticular Activating System. The homeopathic ingredients
in Attend have exemplified the power of attenuation in remarkable
ways and minimized exhaustion after moderate mental effort. Additionally
the homeopathic ingredients in Attend have served to aid in prolonged
mental exertion and brain fatigue. The inability to keep the mind
fixed on any one subject may be a reason to consider taking Attend.
Attend may also be helpful with other symptoms such as wandering
thoughts, restless agitation, weakness of memory, and slow perception.
Are There Any Side-Effects
With Attend?
No, Attend is 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 help naturally 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 do amphetamines, antidepressants or anticonvulsants
normally prescribed for ADD, and all of which have been shown to
detrimentally diminish cognitive activity.
