ADHD Research
by: Caroline Walrad Ph.D., CN and Rene'e Siegel, MA therapist

- Scottsdale, Arizona – ABC Wellness Center
- January through June 2003
- Fifteen Subjects
- Ages 6-59 years of age
- Different forms of ADD and ADHD referred to henceforth as AD/HD
- We knew each of them between us
- Many have been in treatment with Renee'
- Most clients had extensive therapy
Rx for Disease
'The greatest disease of mankind is a lack of love for children, leading to
their psychological and sometimes, even physical abuse which predisposes those
children to a hopeless, helpless attitude, and to disease later in life. We
cannot keep blaming physical poisons or genetic defects for every disease-
period. We have to realize that there are poisons in our own homes that
predispose us to disease by creating certain attitudes and feelings within us.’
From Controlling Hyperactivity and ADD Naturally by Billie Jay Sahley, Ph.D.
What is Attention Deficit?
‘Awake and Aware!’ Feedback Loop is broken from external feedback and relationship to environment
What Causes AD/HD? According to other studies:
- Food allergies
- Biochemical imbalances
- Difficult pregnancy
- Lack of parental control
- Trauma - emotional
- Head trauma
- Heavy Metals
- Vaccinations
- Although medications are used to alleviate symptoms, they are commonly used as
THE method of determining symptoms
- i.e.: Ritalin
- Suppression of Symptoms
Symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder
- Poor Attention Span
- Inability to Focus or Concentrate
- Unaware of the Impact of their Behavior on Others
- Inability to Complete Tasks
- Inability to Make or Keep Friends
- Consistent Daydreaming
- Difficulty with Reasoning
- Poor understanding of cause and effect relationships
- Inability to foresee consequences
- Memory Difficulties
- Misplacing Items on a Regular Basis
- Extreme Aggressive or Passive Behaviors
- Other Mood Swings
- Poor Sleep Habits
- Difficulty Falling/Staying Asleep
- Inconsistent Dream Cycles
The Power of the QXCI (now the EPFX) - Rationale for Using the QXCI
- Clinical Effectiveness
- Power of Brain Wave Therapy
- Ability to measure many potential factors
- Nutrition /Dietary
- Neurotransmitters
- Emotions / Trauma
- Allergens
- Toxins
- Enzymes
Rules of the Research
- No change in medications or supplementations
- Payment in full at first session
- Pre-test determined qualified subjects
- Five sessions / once each consecutive week
- Not all subjects came each week due to personal illness, travel and forgotten
appointments
- No talking during sessions – (this did not work)
Protocol on the QXCI - pretrial
- Pre Trials – saw three subjects
- Were the most severe AD/HD cases!
- Developed timing for 1-1/2 hour sessions
- Developed timing of pre tests…varied
All Sessions 1-5
- VARHO
- Two overall body balancing programs selected
- Harmonic Therapy
- Brain Wave Therapy
NLP Panel
- Pull down therapies: Hemispheres and Grief Assist (1x)
- Stimulate INSIGHT, INTELLIGENCE, MEMORY (1x)
- Value of Emotions – Put Emotions in Value Order
Adjust Love/Frustration until 30 points difference
- Neurotransmitters – (1x)
One and Five Only -no treatment given (information gathering)
- Test Screen
- Fatty Acids
- Emotions
- Chromosomes
- Amino Acids
- Spinal Panel
- Nutrition
- All vitamins
- Digestion concern
- Top value (deficiency) 4 minerals and amino acids
- Main internal enzyme
- Timed Therapies
- Allergies
Suggestions for future ADD Protocols
- Keep it short
- One over-all balancing therapy
- Harmonic therapy
- Brain Wave Therapy and ADD panel
- Join Hemispheres (NLP)
- Stimulate Lucid Dreaming (NLP)
- Sleep and Relaxation (Timed Therapies)
Forms Used in Research
- Consent/Waiver
- Research Waiver
- Pre and Post Test
- Weekly Journal
- Schedule of Appointments/directions/Fee Agreement
- Protocol Form for record keeping – actual intake form during sessionFollow up
Phone post test at 8 months – to be collected and information available on CD
Problems
- Time Length each session (ran over)
- Too Frequent (sessions could be 3 times 2 weeks apart)
- Dual practitioner project (need 2 practitioners at each session)
- Payment/ visa/ upfront
- Broken appointments will agree to subspace
- Location/ a designated room
- Structured recommendations on final visit
- Speaking during sessions/ Practitioner involvement
- More required follow up
- Files all setup ahead of time
The Results
Self-Reporting from subjects
- Sadness increased
- More dreams
- Sleep problems
QX Releases & Brings to Surface
- Emotions surface to consciousness
- As body heals, emotions come to surface
- Emotions held at a cellular level are released
In a state of revitalized heath QXCI creates complete states of healing.
Brain Wave Therapy
Improvement in:
- LOCAL WAVES (42%)
- DEEP WAVES (Limbic) (34%)
- INJURY PROFILE (31%)
- EPILEPSY (27%)
- A.D.D. 49.5 36.3 <13.2 (18.00%)
Many times AD/HD results from head trauma. The improvement of injury related
brain waves shows the QXCI extremely effective. Less than 1/2 of the test
subjects had the ADD button pop up. We had more subjects show an impulse
disorder pop up than ADD.
What Scores Mean
- High scores are actually deficiencies needing improvement
- The lower the score, the less the imbalance
- QXCI allows us another viewpoint to evaluate AD/HD from a holistic perspective
outside of merely nutritional deficiencies
- Scores illustrate the theory that injury and emotional trauma must be released
through non-talking and non-medication therapies for improvement in AD/HD
symptoms
VARHO Results
- Conclusion: minor significant changes
- (3-17% improvement)
Red Screen Testing Information
- Conclusion : Significant changes in Res Freq. Why (?)
- Significant changes in Cell Vitality.(?)
Chromosomes
Because of the wide range of various chromosomes from all testing, we offer the
following conclusion: 40% of all chromosomes were related to the Nervous System.
Amino Acids from test screen
Conclusion: Phenylalanine improved and Tryptophan deficiency increased.
Tryptophan is a precursor for serotonin and deficiencies create sleep problems
(noted in most of our clients)
Description of Fatty Acid Carbon Chains
- Short chain-fatty acids < 6 carbons-These fatty acids include butyrate, caprylic acid, and propionate. They are responsible for maintaining proper
bacterial flora and have been shown to be protective against cancer. They are
made from the bacterial breakdown of certain fibers.
- Medium chain = 8 to 12 carbons-These fatty acids are important for people who
have compromised digestion and absorption because they can be absorbed directly
into the circulation.
- Long Chain = 14 to 27 carbons, with chain length averaging 16 to 18
carbons-Long Chain fatty acids include both essential and nonessential fatty
acids such as arachidonic acid and Linoleic acid. They are involved in
synthesizing prostaglandins and other prostanoids.
Test Screen Fatty Acid Results
- Long Chain: 26
- Medium Chain: 10
- Short Chain: 4
Conclusion: Long carbon chain fatty acid deficiencies far outweighed the medium
and short chains. Long chain Fatty Acids are involved in synthesizing
prostaglandins and other prostanoids. Known to be deficient in AD/HD subjects
from all research.
Anatomy of Harmonic Therapy
Reading of Scores:
- Taken mid session when scores first appeared/ started at 0
- Observed a decrease in time to complete rectification
- Could not read Frontal Scores until end of session because the red treatment
box covered the scores.
- Some error involved in results
Harmonic Therapy Conclusion:
- Improvement in (L – R brain) in the ability to organize and synthesize
information
- Temporal and Parental relationship to head injury . See brain wave therapy
results.
Harmonic Therapy - Balances Right and Left Brain
(Results of degree of change between first and last sessions):
- Left Frontal -3
- Left Brain -3
- Left Parietal -2
- Left Temporal -2
- Left Occipital +2
- Right Frontal +2
- Right Brain +2
- Right Parietal -1
- Right Temporal -2
- Right Occipital 0
Evaluation of Harmonic Therapy
- All scores improved each session
- Observed all scores decline at first readings each sessions
- MOST DRAMATIC CHANGE: LEFT FRONTAL
- WHY?
- Frontal Lobe is an ‘information sorter’
- Most commonly associated with AD/HD, Addictions and perhaps Autism
- Left is Logical sequential processing
Brain Wave Pattern Therapy
Used the start button each time, marking off highest score on each side to
treat. When yellow box popped up, pressed the start button within the yellow box
until the box quit appearing.
Conclusion: as a group the BETA Waves improved the most. High BETA can result in
hyperactivity and/or depression. Normal ranges are located in change box in parenthesis
Normal ranges for brain waves
Conclusion:
- Alpha: low as group
- Beta, Delta and Theta all excessive even at 5th session after decrease of
scores.
- BETA: most significant to AD/HD
(hyperactivity and/or depression)
Brain Wave Therapy
* Goal to have normal 10 points higher than Session 1
Brain Wave Therapy Results
Improvement in: LOCAL WAVES (42%) DEEP WAVES (Limbic) (34%) INJURY PROFILE (31%)
EPILEPSY (27%) A.D.D. 49.5 36.3 <13.2 (18.00%)
Joining the Hemispheres to Know the True Self (NLP program, Drop Down Menu,
Button)
The Corpus Callosum is the area of the brain where left meets right.
(Local Waves)
**Our protocol included “Joining the Hemispheres to Know the True Self’ Could
this have helped? Corpus Callosum 7 2 -5
Brain Wave Therapy pop up box
Conclusion: Worry up +2 because QXCI brought memories/issues/trauma from the
subject’s subconscious to conscious
High: Covert Emotional Tension frequent
QXCI effective: depression, past life trauma, inability to focus, and release of
superimpositions.
Treatment of initial areas of brain scan - Attention Deficit Disorder/ compute buttons
Conclusion: The improvement in the Cingulate System is a reflection in the
decrease in impulsivity. The improvement in the Temporal, occipital lobes may
relate to the improvement from head trauma.
QXCI Validated previous research with AD/HD
- Research has shown relationships with the following amino acids and minerals.
This QXCI study validates previous study findings.
- GABA
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Vitamin E
- Glutamine
Protocol for Emotions
- Spinal, NLP Panel
- Mental Factors and Emotional Chart
- Value of Emotions
- Recorded the Emotions in order from bottom to top of list…(order fixed
throughout treatment)
- Test and Treat Emotions with Phase Stabilization
- Until Love Index was at least 30 points higher than Frustration Index.
- Emotions were reviewed from Brain Wave Panel also
The QXCI helped to change emotions
INCREASE
- Desire for things to be different (3)
- Rationalization (3)
DECREASE
Most significant changes of 40 recorded emotions
- Increase of Desire for Things to be Different: Most desired change by subjects as most were aware of need to improve AD/HD
symptoms
- Increase in Hopelessness: Because Grief uncovered and brought to consciousness (goal of the QXCI)
- Decrease in Enthusiasm: Relationship to the Anxiety being reduced
- Drew to a balanced state (no loss of passion)
- Decrease in Carelessness: People are more aware of mistakes and potential mistakes
- Feedback loop to environment
At last session positive QXCI results Decrease in:
- Anxiety
- Careless
- Resistance to change
- Depression
- Shock
- GABA
- Dopamine
- Serotonin
Description of Amino Acids
- Glutamine – Precursor for GABA
- Iso-Leucine – Blood sugar & energy – Stability, mental alertness
- Phenylalanine – control of pain, Building block for all amino acids
- Taurine – Heart, CNS, muscle. Key component of bile Hyperache
- Thymine – DNA
- *Tyrosine – beginning of catacholamine bio synthesis or emotional amino acids.
- Tryptophan – precursor to serotonin
Conclusion: The increase in GABA represents the improvement in those
Neurotransmitters involved in calming the body and mind. It is critical for
Limbic System Balancing.
Leucine has been shown in research to be deficient in AD/HD
Homeopathic Panel Information - (spinal, nutrition, homeopathy path)
Most frequent MIASM in order: Sycosis 4/15 Measles 3/15 TB 3/15 Leprosy 2/15 Cancer 1/15 Vaccination 1/15
Homeopathic Panel Information: MINERAL
NO CHANGE in individual mineral cell remedy between session 1 and session 5.
5/15 Argentum Nitricium ( silver: anxiety & Impulsivity) 4/15 Mercurious (mercury - suspicious) 3/15 Zincum (restlessness/brain) 1/15 Cuprum (copper: parasitic and AD/HD)
NOTE: 13/15 Had a metal as a mineral cell. (not customary in regular
population).
Homeopathic Panel Information: BODY REMEDY
Everyone’s ‘body’ remedy changed between session 1 and session 5.
Top remedies were in order of frequency: Arsenicum DNA Glonine Thuja Sepia
Homeopathic Panel Information: MENTAL
‘Mental Mind’ remedies stayed the same –NO CHANGE In order of frequency: Gelsemium China Belladonna Ipecac Apis Pulsatilla Aconite Calcarea Carbonica Phosphorous
Nutrition
We chose the 3 highest values which represent deficiencies.
- Deficiency in Vitamin K (bowel) and fatty acids confirmed prior research on
AD/HD and nutritional deficiencies.
- Large improvement in Vitamin E with no outside interventions
- Fatty Acids increased (due to increase of brain activity and repair?)
Digestive issues
Conclusion: Digestive issues did little changing, however we did no digestive balancing in
the protocol. Seems to have no correlation with these few numbers with AD/HD and one
specific issue.
Minerals
Conclusion: Not much change because did not work on digestive issues and diet and
nutritional supplements were not recommended to change during treatment. Mineral deficiencies found in our research support findings of previous
research: Magnesium, selenium, zinc and arsenic Copper was always the lowest value, hence an overabundance Iron did not show deficiency as might be expected
Top five on Detox Table
Heavy metals - 9 Alcohol - 5 Amalgams - 5 Mental retention toxins – 4 Pharmaceuticals – 4 Leaky gut – 3 Prions – 2 Sugar toxins – 2 Allopathic drugs -1 Fungus - 0
Conclusion:
Fungus did not seem to be an issue with our subjects. HEAVY METALS most prevalent issue in detoxification
Perverse Energy Top 4
* Cell phone radiation top priority Conclusion: These 4 energies were close in score and then a wide gap to next
energies. CELL PHONE RADIATION IS ONLY ABNORMAL
Homotoxicology Results
- Most subjects were in REACTIVITY phase of homotoxicology and/or in
DEGENERATION phase.
- None were in neoplasm
- Most subjects decreased by one level of homotoxicology.
Suggestions for future AD/HD Protocols
- Keep it short
- One over-all balancing therapy
- Harmonic therapy
- Brain Wave Therapy and AD/HD panel
- Join Hemispheres (NLP)
- Stimulate Lucid Dreaming (NLP)
- Sleep and Relaxation (Timed Therapies)
