Highlights

• Vitamin B6 appears to be essential for dopamine regulation. 
• EMF radiation, including excess wi-fi exposure appears to play a causal role to ADHD and a lowered IQ, especially amongst developing children.
• Organic produces and/or pesticides-free preservative free foods are common recommendations to manage symptoms.
• Possible useful markers for testing ~ Thyroid, candida + mycotoxins, heavy metals susceptibilities. For metals testing ~ urine/plasma/hair mineral tissue analysis.
• Common symptoms (hyperactivity, anxiety, tantrums, uncontrolled rage / tempers) ~ in both children and adults appears to be correlated with high-copper status. 
• High(er) copper foods include chocolates, tofu, shellfish, wholegrains and to lesser extents ~ organ meats.
• A decrease of dopamine consequents a rise of norpinepheine; widely believed to be a marker for temper, rage, and anxiety. 
• Zinc and copper balance is strongly regulated by the metallothionein proteins (or shortened as metalloproteins); widely thought to be important for regulating antioxidant / redox / detoxification systems to offset heavy-metal toxicity. 
• High sugar diets worsen symptoms of Candida, those on IBD and thereby ~ susceptibilities to all of the above cognitive malaise. 
• Other brief yet interesting subjective debates and/or mentions:
  • could living with ADHD be advantageous? Some believe the "energetic" outlook is praised.

In today's decreasing attention span I hereby disclaim out of respect and courtesy ~ by no means the above suggest nor justifies anyone foregoing full attentive viewership and/or  listening. Please invest your timely respect. Also, throughout my intiative's long lone history (circa 2015); I encourage dialogues and thereby ~ authentication of experience(s) from competing perspective/s, and/or objectivities throughout decentralised or alternative nutritional science. Live-it-forward, AW.
