  • Professor Barbara Franke uses a variety of insects in her lab to determine which pathways lead from genetics to ADHD. By altering the genes, Barbara and her colleagues are able to analyse the insects behaviour and understand which aspect is correlated with ADHD.

    Is it possible for the flies to have highly fast processing tiny brains so they constantly moving everywhere? I am guessing the flies needs to be freed and live as their true self, normally animals like deer, panda or birds have a distinctive repetitive but different activities pathway during different season and circumstances, flies on the other hand couldn't go express themselves as distinctively as the mammals which is probably the reason why they constantly move themselves from one point to another. I also found bees to be a fairly interesting comparative study to flies, since they have a queen b to judge on the quality of food the bees bring which makes bees fly in a predictable manner to serve their queen b

    Before I retired, I treated many children with ADHD. I research which foods and particularly sweets were typically ingested. Whilst many of the man made additive chemicals were relatively safe, many man made chemicals if mixed with others in a test tube would create a reaction producing gas. By stopping one or more items in the diet,the condition disappeared. Chemicals meeting in the fine blood vessels in the brain was causing the children to behave bizarrely!

      @@initial_commit Each case has to be assessed dependant on the chemicals included in combinations of foods. Many food additives and agricultural chemicals found in foods create the chemical reaction which then generates gases in blood vessels, pressure and strange behaviour. Keeping to basic food ingredients and avoiding foods with man made chemicals is the easiest way to avoid the problem.

      People might think it's b.s. but it might actually be true. I am an 80's baby and was diagnosed in the 90's, but read some research about a decade ago that hypothesized that ADHD could indeed multiply and take over due to impulsivity and higher affinity for em, procreative activities. I didn't want to have kids in an unstable situation and with my genes no less, so even when I was living a wild life I was always somehow careful about certain...things. Now I'm about to turn 40 so kinda getting past that stage.

      There's quite a big claim to make without any actual scientific information to support it.
      So you just deemed on your own that the diagnoses were all incorrect? How did you do this assessment exactly? Do you have any actual knowledge of the psychiatric research literature? Or this just impressionism?

      @@MisterFatherSir310 Why don't we have historical records of hyperactive children driving parents crazy? Why did not traditional societies such a problem? I grew up in a village in rural Anatolia and I never heard about a hyperactive child. There were some very energetic friends of mine, who used to climb trees, jump from roofs, or do some other antics. But all of them became sane, responsible and hardworking farmers in the end. I think the real problem is the urban life that prevents children from spending their energy and having meaningful experiences on their own.
