Interesting news
LTO3, A 100% natural remedy found to help well for people with ADD, ADHD and HSP
In the Netherlands and surrounding countries, more and more people with ADD and ADHD are making the switch to LTO3.This is a 100% natural remedy that works for 8 ? 12 hours throughout the day and can be safely taken by anyone from 3 years old and up. For people who would like a support in daily life for their ADD or ADHD, LTO3 proves to be a very good substitute for pharmaceutical drugs such as Ritalin and concerta.
Since I started learning more about this natural remedy LTO3 and also started writing about it on the ADD characteristics website, I have constantly been receiving very positive experiences. In most cases, people with ADD and ADHD tell me they experience all the benefits of Ritalin and Concerta, but without annoying side effects. This also applies to many children.
It now turns out that LTO3 is already being used in Europe by tens of thousands of people with ADD and ADHD with great satisfaction. Experiences show that, among other things, it gives them helps with the characteristics of ADD and ADHD such as chaotic behaviour, restlessness, lack of concentration, mood swings, overstimulation, poor memory, hyperactivity and impulsivity. In many cases, they report getting through the day with more focus, clarity and a better mood. These experiences are consistent with the many LTO3 experiences which I am personally sent.
I have noticed that LTO3 is becoming more widely known in the Netherlands and that more and more people with ADD and ADHD are using this natural remedy. It appears that already several practices and coaches in the Netherlands recommend LTO3 to their clients and that they have had very good experiences with it. With this natural remedy, you can
possibly a lot easier to get along in society without having to take chemical medication. I am thinking of activities such as your work, housework, administration, in relationships, etc. With children, for instance, at school, in social interaction or when doing homework.
Want to try LTO3 for yourself? You can Order LTO3 here.

A different perspective on ADD, ADHD and HSP
With the ADD characteristics website, I share an innovative 'different' view of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, HSP (High Sensitive Person) and New Age children. It is not knowledge as you are used to. Besides all the general information about ADD, ADHD and HSP, on ADD characteristics, unlike many other websites, you will mainly read a lot about the positive characteristics of these diagnoses and how to strengthen them. The starting point is the strength that lies in every person with the ADD, ADHD, HSP brain.
Do you see your ADD / ADHD as a strength?
Unfortunately, ADD and ADHD but also HSP can easily develop into a disorder due to the many desires of our environment and society that have always forced us to be on our toes. On a daily basis, we are confronted with things that our brains are simply not made for. Society is incredibly demanding and you quickly fall by the wayside if you don't fit into that picture. Many complaints that people with ADD, ADHD but also HSP experience often stem from a brain that has been derailed over the years. This process started from the moment you went to school as a child.
About school and ADD and ADHD and how I experienced it myself in this society, I wrote a great piece on ADD characteristics. To do so, click on the link below:

Breaking waves
You can also read more about the different ADD characteristics on the website brain waves such as Delta, theta, Alpha, beta and Gamma and what these do in the brain and what the major differences are between people with it:
> ?normal? brain vs the ?ADD and ADHD brain?
Information on how you can easily and directly positively influence your own brainwaves for a more cleared mind, relaxation and better concentration can be read by clicking on the link below:
> Quickly and simply get your brain calm and relaxed with Binaural beats!
You can read more about all these issues and the beautiful characteristics of ADD, ADHD and HSP and their power and, of course, how you yourself can be more in your power so that you can use more of your positive characteristics, on ADD characteristics. This is backed up with videos, scientific studies, documentaries, interviews, articles, etc. People like us are also needed, don't forget that. So keep following the ADD characteristics website from time to time as it is constantly updated with new information.
The main writer of ADD characteristics
I myself have, Jochem, and lead writer of ADDcharacteristics.net also been diagnosed with ADD and no longer see it as a disorder but a different development of the brain for a reason. Unfortunately, ?survival' in a contemporary society like this is just not easy for us. That is why we often experience so many symptoms. In this way, you can easily develop your ADD or ADHD brain as a disorder. If you encounter problems and hear criticism on a daily basis, you will automatically start to believe that you actually have a disorder. Especially if everyone tells you so because you cannot meet certain expectations. (For this, also read the inspiring story of John Loporto about the eagle)
These complaints arise because we have always had to tiptoe to keep up somewhat in society. Every day there are just so many incentives on us and things are expected of us that our brain is simply not made for. So most of the complaints we experience are actually symptoms due to stress and over-stimulation and high expectations from our environment.
Living with these ADHD and ADD traits does not always make life easy. What can we do ourselves, to make it as easy as possible for us, to better express our positive characteristics of ADD, ADHD and HSP? You can read 9 valuable tips via the link below:

For anyone with ADD, ADHD, HSP who is stuck, it's time to find the power again. You've been on the wrong track for long enough. You have managed to adapt long enough to a group of people who were not open to your qualities. On ADD characteristics, you will be helped on your way. The moment you start reaching your strengths again, you will find that the roles are reversed. You will no longer feel different. Instead, people will start to see you as an inspiring and innovative source of energy. Someone who can achieve many great and beautiful things.
Neuroplasticity of the brain
Fortunately, until we die, our brain is neuroplastic which means we can always retrain our brain regardless of the severity of symptoms. (Creating new neurological connections) We are able to change our unhelpful patterns into helpful ones. This not only makes us feel a lot better but also more successful. A pattern refers to behaviour that our brain carries out unconsciously. 95% of our actions are totally unconscious so we don't have to learn everything over and over again. This retraining of the brain falls under NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). More on this can be found under the heading:
> Neuroplasticity and NLP (Definitely worth a read)
