Brain cells actually operate on electricity. Thoughts are transferred between our brain cells by electrical current. Long chains of brain cells are “switched on” to produce a complete thought or memory. If this “chain reaction” of the bio-electric current is disrupted, the result is that memory, thought and concentration are damaged or destroyed.Current research has made it clear beyond any doubt that bio-chemical imbalance is caused by deficient nourishment of the brain. If the brain does not receive the sustenance it needs, the functioning of the adrenal gland - responsible for secreting hormones and playing a central role in the thought process - is impaired. The result is a reduction in the energy level, which leads to various types of difficulties, a dejected mood, and even a weakened immunization system.
Nurture & Clarity® formulas provide the optimal response by supplying the building blocks that are essential to the nourishment of the brain and to its proper development and functioning.Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® are composed of a carefully selected combination of medicinal plants at specific quantities and concentrations clinically determined to be the most effective for the treatment of ADD and ADHD.
Treating ADD and ADHD with Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® formulas has many advantages:Significant improvement is observable within a relatively short time. In most cases, a significant functional improvement is apparent within 4 to 8 weeks from the beginning of treatment. In some cases improvement is seen within 10 days; while in a few cases, positive results were noted within 3 months. This data is backed by a scientific clinical trial conducted at the Pediatric ADHD and Adaptation Clinic of the Sheba Medical Center in Israel, under the close supervision of the head of the clinic, Dr. Miri Katz.
There are no negative side effects. Treatment with Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® formulas is not accompanied by any negative side effects whatsoever, in contrast to the known side effects that occur in some patients taking currently prescribed medication for ADD or ADHD. Side effects of these drugs include appetite suppression, apathy, and nervous tics. Ironically, these and other side effects of popular medications can make concentration even more difficult, and social difficulties may get worse as a result.
The brain is restored to better function through nutrition. Appetite suppression depletes essential nutrients required by the brain - a condition that exists in many ADD and ADHD patients - and consequently their state may get worse. Nurture & Clarity® formulas, on the other hand, provide valuable nutrients essential for the brain to properly develop and function. Our clinically tested formulas create a state of systemic balance for an extended period of time, and can effectively diminish the negative side effects of other medications.
Concurrent improvement in additional parameters. Many parents have reported a marked improvement in their children's self esteem, emotional state, and quality of social interactions as a result of treatment with Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® formulas. The improvement in these parameters is often apparent even before the positive effects of the formulas on attention span and concentration become evident.
Treatment does not conflict with prescribed medication. Treatment with Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® formulas can begin while the child, youth, or adult continues to take prescribed medication. After a few weeks, when the benefits of Nurture & Clarity® or Nurture & Clarity-H® become apparent, the dosage of the medication can be reduced or discontinued entirely in consultation with the treating physician. Combining a Nurture & Clarity® formula with other types of medication does hamper the formula's effect, will not cause any negative side effects, and will not reduce the effect of medication taken concurrently.
Lifelong Benefits. On the basis of experience accumulated over the years in treating hundreds of children, adolescents and adults, treatment with Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® formulas can usually be discontinued after a 2 to 2.5 year treatment period, with no adverse effects on the patient's functional level. In cases where there is a slight decline, we recommend continuing treatment with the formula for an additional short period of time, after which it can be discontinued permanently. The treatment period and the time at which it can be discontinued is based on each individual's state, and is a function of the degree of improvement in each case.

For more than 2000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has developed as a way to create better harmony between the body's various organs in order to restore peace between body and soul. An imbalance in the body results in illness, including cognitive problems such as attention deficit disorders, hyperactivity, and mood swings.
This imbalance is a product of the countless factors - both external and internal - affecting the human being as a whole. According to the principles of Chinese medicine, some of the major categories of variables that produce this imbalance are:
External factors: wind, warmth, fire, humidity, dryness and cold.
Seven emotional factors: anger (affecting the liver), joy (affecting the heart), grief and melancholy (affecting the lungs), over-thinking (affecting the spleen), shock and fear (affecting the kidneys).
Sources of disease that originate outside the body: including factors such as climate and weather conditions (particularly, extreme conditions), and more.In order to understand how the body, as a whole, can be brought to a balanced, harmonized state so that its functions and condition are improved, one must first diagnose the source of the problem causing the imbalance.
The diagnostic process includes checking the pulse and the tongue, and collecting information by way of an interview. In these ways, TCM practitioners identify the source of the disharmony, and the type of difficulty it causes, through the implementation of various TCM methods, which include 8 basic principles:
Yin - Yang
Heat - Cold
Internal - External
Deficiency - Excess
and the 5 elements, which represent both character traits and different body organs:
In addition to the above factors, body fluids, phlegm, blood and Qi (energy, the force of life) are also taken into account.
The need to scrutinize such a large variety of components affecting the energetic state of the individual, and consequently his/her state of health, explains the great complexity in diagnosing on the basis of Chinese medicine. Notwithstanding, a precise diagnosis is crucial, as it comprises the basis for a decision on how to bring the individual from a state of imbalance to a state of energetic balance between the body, the soul, and the individual's environment. This balance will strengthen the body and soul's ability to withstand harmful effects. The practical significance of the above is that in the case of different individuals suffering from the same malady, the medicinal plant formula they require in order to attain an energetic balance will be different, if the source of the malady is different.
It is important to note that according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, treatment will only be effective for a prolonged period of time and ensure genuine healing when the source of the problem is dealt with. Superficial treatment - which does not address the underlying cause of the problem and fails to produce an energetic balance of the body and soul- is not only ineffective, but may even exacerbate the malady from which the patient suffers.
Based on the successful treatment of hundreds of children, adolescents, and adults by means of Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas, and with the aim of reaching and helping as many people as possible, Hadassa Kol-Degani and Liora Tanury Kav-Vanaki developed Nurture & Clarity® and Nurture & Clarity-H® formulas to treat ADD and ADHD.
These formulas comprise a meticulously selected variety of medicinal plants at specific quantities and concentrations - as clinically determined to be the most effective for recovery from ADD and ADHD. These medicinal plants help normalize brain biochemistry, and actually stimulate the regeneration of neurons (brain cells).
