moms and dads, Dr Scott Haggerty.
- 00:02 - 00:05
Here I want to take a few minutes and talk a little bit about 80 HD because
- 00:05 - 00:08
one of the things have realised is that there are many things that are not true,
- 00:08 - 00:10
that parents are told about 80 HD.
- 00:10 - 00:12
So let's talk about a few of those facts.
- 00:13 - 00:15
Number 1 80 HD is not genetic.
- 00:16 - 00:18
The brain can be changed without drugs,
- 00:19 - 00:24
and most 80 HD issues relate to pregnancy, stress and birth process.
- 00:24 - 00:25
That's right.
- 00:25 - 00:29
Many parents have never been told this, but there's very clear science,
- 00:29 - 00:32
a lot of evidence that shows that this is really the
- 00:32 - 00:35
starting point for the vast majority of cases of a D.
- 00:35 - 00:37
H. D. We can dig into that quite a bit more.
- 00:37 - 00:41
Let's talk about a few more things with us, because when we look at this right,
- 00:41 - 00:43
there's common factors that we see that relate to the
- 00:43 - 00:44
vast majority of kids that struggle with a D.
- 00:44 - 00:45
H. D.
- 00:45 - 00:49
Typically, there was a stressful pregnancy, along with a stressful birth process,
- 00:49 - 00:54
oftentimes accompanied by interventions, things like, uh, vacuum extractions,
- 00:54 - 00:58
things like Caesareans, things like epidurals and potatoes and peas, economies,
- 00:58 - 01:02
cord wrapped positioning issues things along that lines that led
- 01:02 - 01:04
to then stress on the baby's nervous system very,
- 01:04 - 01:05
very early on.
- 01:05 - 01:07
And that stress
- 01:07 - 01:08
then leaves
- 01:08 - 01:09
little nuggets.
- 01:09 - 01:11
That helps you to know what was going on right,
- 01:11 - 01:12
And we know this because we've been doing
- 01:12 - 01:14
these clinical case histories for a long time.
- 01:14 - 01:15
There's these early signs.
- 01:15 - 01:19
After the child is born, you start to see it's things like colic, constipation,
- 01:19 - 01:24
poor sleep habits, latch issues, emotional issues, all kinds of things.
- 01:24 - 01:27
By the time they're hitting preschool, these things are beginning to evolve.
- 01:27 - 01:29
Are starting to see other signs of stress
- 01:29 - 01:31
that are diving deeper into the nervous system,
- 01:31 - 01:35
where we start to see issues with potentially anxiety meltdowns, sensory issues,
- 01:36 - 01:37
hyperactivity, impulsivity.
- 01:38 - 01:40
These are all signs that the nervous system is stuck in
- 01:40 - 01:43
a state of fight or flight instead of being calm,
- 01:43 - 01:45
reacting to sensory input the way that it's supposed to.
- 01:45 - 01:47
When a child's nervous system is going through this,
- 01:47 - 01:50
it makes it darn near impossible for them to be able to regulate themselves
- 01:50 - 01:53
and pay attention the way that you would want them to in school environment.
- 01:54 - 01:55
By the time they're getting into elementary school,
- 01:55 - 01:58
it's very noticeable the focus and attention issues.
- 01:58 - 02:01
They're starting to show a lot of signs of impulsivity, meltdowns,
- 02:01 - 02:05
potentially a lot of sensory issues and, of course, many, many more things.
- 02:05 - 02:06
So moms and dads,
- 02:06 - 02:10
we've been taking care of kids with a D H D symptoms for a very long time,
- 02:10 - 02:12
and here's some of the things that we use,
- 02:12 - 02:15
so we use paediatric chiropractic. And why is this valuable?
- 02:15 - 02:20
Because there is a nerve called the vagus nerve, which regulates the cortex,
- 02:20 - 02:23
the part of the brain up here that regulates all executive function.
- 02:23 - 02:25
When we adjust the spinal column,
- 02:25 - 02:28
it sends messages up to the prefrontal cortex
- 02:28 - 02:30
that turns on the executive function centres.
- 02:30 - 02:32
There's some great research I'm going to be diving into
- 02:32 - 02:33
in a workshop that we're gonna be doing soon.
- 02:33 - 02:35
We're going to talk about this in more depth
- 02:35 - 02:38
because we get lots of questions from parents about why the kids get
- 02:38 - 02:41
adjusted in our office and see so many improvements with a D.
- 02:41 - 02:45
H D issues, sensory issues, emotional issues so on and so forth.
- 02:45 - 02:47
So we're going to dive deep into into this
- 02:47 - 02:49
and answer questions that many of you have had
- 02:50 - 02:52
There's also things like brain laser therapy.
- 02:52 - 02:56
Brain laser therapy is a new novel treatment that is incredibly safe and effective.
- 02:56 - 02:57
But it's awesome.
- 02:57 - 02:59
It really gets some great results because we're able to
- 02:59 - 03:02
actually target specific areas of the brain to calm it.
- 03:02 - 03:04
It improves the executive function centres.
- 03:04 - 03:06
We can also target the emotional centres and
- 03:06 - 03:08
stimulate the vagus nerve using the laser.
- 03:08 - 03:11
We also like to recommend apps like the brain tap app. It's a great app.
- 03:11 - 03:13
If you've never seen it, it's on iTunes.
- 03:13 - 03:15
If you want more information about it, we can also give you information.
- 03:15 - 03:20
But it also uses this technology where it uses beats, tones,
- 03:20 - 03:23
visualisations and meditations to calm the brain,
- 03:23 - 03:27
balance the brain and re trains the brain waves to be in better balance.
- 03:27 - 03:30
We also focus heavy on nutrition and anti inflammatory nutrition has
- 03:30 - 03:34
been shown to be incredibly effective at decreasing brain inflammation.
- 03:35 - 03:38
Decreasing brain inflammation equals a calmer brain.
- 03:38 - 03:42
The more inflamed a child's brain is, the more foggy their brain is going to be,
- 03:42 - 03:44
the more difficult it is for them to be calm because they're nervous.
- 03:44 - 03:48
System wasn't high alert because it's chemical toxins that are insulting them.
- 03:48 - 03:50
Now, moms and dads, I know we went through quite a bit,
- 03:50 - 03:53
but I want to give you an opportunity to come and learn more about this,
- 03:53 - 03:55
because if you have a child that struggle with a d.
- 03:55 - 03:58
H d, we're hosting an online workshop
- 03:58 - 04:01
that's going to be called the Perfect Storm. It's a perfect storm of a D H D.
- 04:01 - 04:05
And it's a free online class for parents were gonna be hosting in February 16th,
- 04:05 - 04:08
2022 at six p.m. You can see the link below.
- 04:08 - 04:10
It's going to be through a Facebook event page.
- 04:10 - 04:13
We're gonna be doing everything on Zoom so you guys can get on there,
- 04:13 - 04:14
asked me questions.
- 04:14 - 04:15
We'll go through.
- 04:15 - 04:18
Science will go through research through case studies so you
- 04:18 - 04:20
can see the big picture of why this works.
- 04:20 - 04:24
The way that it does helps so many kids here in our community,
- 04:24 - 04:27
and also so you can get the hope, answers and action steps that you need.
- 04:27 - 04:30
Help your child. All right, guys, I look forward to seeing you there.
