Seems like an imbalance of GABA and Glatamate levels to me...this can be caused by SOY in their diets!!! MSG!!!
it is an exitotoxin that stimulates and excites the brain and need to take all soy or aspartame from their diet!!!
Then you need to add GABA to a juice (apple or what ever you give them) start with250 mgs, and you can go up to 1500 a day!!! no more than that!!! GABA is a byproduct of Glutamate that you can get from sources like TURKEY!!! Enzymes in your body turn it in to GABA a relaxing neurotransmitter, if there ae not enough enzymes to do so...then there is a High Gluta mate and low GABA level!!!
start with a cup of juice around 5:30pm...I can asure you by 8 they will slepp with no fuz!!! and if doring the day you see that she is HYPER like ADHD ...then give a bit more in the morning...this also helps with focus at school!!!I have ADHD Autistic Child and tihis is how I help him balance his life!!! And he is no longer ADHD and less autistic...after a while their bodies take over and you need to lower that dose till you do not give it any longer!!! Love, G.. :0)
