SYSTEM OVERVIEW // ADHD & Neurodevelopmental Conditions

ADHD & NEURODEVELOPMENTAL CONDITIONS

A Biological Reality Being Masked by Stimulant Drugs.

ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyspraxia, and dyslexia are rising at unprecedented rates in UK children — and the standard response is pharmaceutical management rather than biological investigation. Nutritional deficiencies in omega-3, zinc, magnesium, and iron; heavy metal toxicity; gut dysbiosis; food additive sensitivity; and maternal environmental exposure are all measurably associated with neurodevelopmental divergence. These are biological conditions with biological causes.
