Many women today find themselves to be “Infertile” and wanting to have a baby

When a woman decides that she wants to have a baby and be a Mum it is not always as straightforward as making the decision, taking the “action” and wham … it’s done! Falling pregnant does not always occur easily and many women, and men for that matter, find they have challenges.

If you are one of these women or men and are considering holistic alternative methods to conception, birth and beyond then you have come to the right place. At Horizon Health we are focused on holistic health, this means that we are here to help people that want to achieve overall better health which encompasses the mind, body and spirit.

It was four years ago that a woman and her husband made the decision to have a baby. They thought that it would be easy to fall pregnant. Granted they were not in their twenties but still, they were very healthy and fit people. They ate organically when possible and had eliminated harmful chemicals in their household. They were so ready to be parents to a little miracle. Little did they know, though, that they were going to be told that they had “Unexplained Infertility”. They sought the help of many different non-medical professionals who made their journey to parenthood a success. So, on the 29th June 2010 a beautiful baby boy named Nicolas Alessandro was born.

Hi, my name is Louise Lecuna and this is actually my story. I am a Chiropractor, author and a very proud Mum. Not only is pre and post-natal care of interest to me, I also have a family history of ADHD or “hyperactivity” as it was called when I was diagnosed. So, helping women, children and their families gain optimal health is my “passion”. I have learnt so much from my experience that all I want to do is share it with as many people as I possibly can and help them have their “little miracle”.

ADHD / ADD or hyperactivity is a common behavioural and learning disorder. The causes of hyperactivity are not purely defined however, environmental toxins, synthetic and natural chemicals, food additives, natural salicylates, food allergy or intolerances, lead poisoning, hypoglycemia, minimal brain damage at birth, Intestinal Candida infection (passed on to child at birth) and drug reactions to name a few are all potential causes.

The instance in boys to girls according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 1998 was 19% or 1 in 5 boys were diagnosed with ADHD / ADD compared to 7% or 1 in 14 girls. The following chart shows a comparison of certain conditions between girls and boys.

ADHD / ADD or Hyperactivity may create difficulties with speech, hearing, balance and hand-eye coordination. Overactivity may begin in the womb. In babies and toddlers signs and symptoms include head banging, cot rocking, colic, prolonged bouts of crying and screaming, general restlessness, increased thirst and production of large amounts of saliva. Children are often slow to crawl, excitable and often burst into tantrums if demands are not instantly met. Children also seem to want to run everywhere and even walk on their toes. Remember, that if you are breastfeeding everything passes through your milk to the baby.

You do not need a diagnosis of ADHD / ADD, Hyperactivity or anything else to do something about it. Make an informed decision by contacting us to book a consultation or buy our eBook and take positive steps to manage your or your family’s ADHD / ADD naturally.

ADHD pesticide link confirmed

A recent American study has revealed that exposure to pesticides during pregnancy can lead to attention deficit related conditions in children, especially boys aged five years. These pesticides, Organophoshates (OP) are commonly used in Australian agriculture. OP pesticides act by disrupting neurotransmitters, particularly acetylcholine, which plays an important role in sustaining attention and short-term memory. “OP pesticides are widely used in Australian agriculture, and all are known to be neurologically active,” University of NSW Professor of Toxicology Chris Winder said.

Prof Winder said a child’s brain started development early in pregnancy and continued even after the birth, and so it was “not surprising that symptoms of pre-school ADHD arise in children known to be associated with pesticide exposure during the prenatal period”. (News.com.au) read more…

Paracetamol linked to asthma in children

A recent study has shown a link to continued use of paracetamol in infants under 15 months can cause asthma and other allergies. “Researchers at University of Otago Wellington were not sure why and said they needed clinical trials to further look at any associations. The study also found that by age six, 95 per cent of children were using paracetamol, significantly increasing the risk of asthma and wheeze”.

Paracetamol is broken down by the liver and if there is a continued toxic overload of this drug it can cause the liver to malfunction leading to allergies and other sensitivities. (Breaking News, November 2010) read more…
