Inattentive ADD: Just Like Winnie the Pooh

 

Winnie the Pooh is the classic picture of Inattentive ADHD. In other works we have called this "Space Cadet" style ADHD. Dr. Daniel Amen refers to this as "Inattentive ADD". These are people that suffer from "brain fog" as they go through their day.

Although Pooh is very lovable and kind, he is also inattentive, sluggish, slow-moving, unmotivated. He is a classic daydreamer.

People with this type of ADHD are often seen as being:

• Easily distracted
• Having short attention spans to a task that is not interesting, or is hard
• Daydreams when others are talking to him/her
• A person who cannot find anything that they have just put down somewhere...
• A person who is always late
• Is easily bored

This type of ADHD is caused by the prefrontal cortex of the brain actually slowing down (instead of speeding up activity) when placed under a work load, like reading or doing homework. This part of the brain looks normal when "at rest" but actually looks like it is starting to fall asleep when asked to "go to work." This makes it very hard to pay attention to school work, get homework done, listen to the teacher, clean your room, and so on.

We have actually observed this hundreds of times with subjects on an EEG. When at rest, the brainwave activity is pretty normal. But once the subject is asked to read, or to do a math worksheet, the subject's brainwave activity begins to look like the subject is falling asleep. This sure makes school hard for these students!

Winnie the Pooh style inattention is seen mostly in girls. It responds well to stimulants, such as Ritalin and Adderall, but other interventions work well also.

Treatment Strategies for "Inattentive" or Winnie the Pooh style ADHD

We recommend our Eating Program to start with. In addition, we recommend for Inattentive, or Winnie the Pooh style ADHD the following:

• ATTEND for ADHD symptoms, 4 capsules per day. ATTEND contains L-Tyrosine, as Dr. Amen recommends in his protocols. It also contains the neurotransmitter GABA, the amino acid DL-Phenylalyne, Ginko to increase blood flow in the brain, the powerful anti-oxidants Pycnogenol and Grape Seed Extracts, 5-HTP, the memory enhancer pregnenolone, and great brain food DMAE, and more. See the full ATTEND ingredients list and description.
• MEMORIN for increased focus and concentration to task, 2 capsules per day. MEMORIN contains more Ginko, plus lots of Phosphatidyl Serine and other phosphatidyls, and more of the memory enhancer pregnenolone.

A child could take half of this, although many children will take up to four Attend per day. Consult your health care professional.
