Toxic chemicals and genetic predisposition lessen the body’s ability to absorb and utilize nutrients, causing imbalances in brain chemistry and in the nervous system’s ability to transmit information accurately. 
Metabolic testing gives us vital information about outside substances that have a clear and definite effect on the biochemistry of your child’s brain.

Supplementation and dietary recommendations are made specifically to your child's needs.

The Whole Child Wellness program addresses all the symptoms of ADHD.  Through a series of sensory-motor and sensory-academic exercises and dietary and nutritional changes, the brain is stimulated to synchronize and start working as a whole.

Graduations

As the school year draws to a close, and kids everywhere share the excitement of moving into a long summer break, our kids at Whole Child Wellness are excited about graduating to the next level of the program.

One STAR STUDENT has finished the initial program of dietary changes and at home brain balancing exercises, and is having lots of fun with the metronome portion of the program.
Another SWEETHEART is still surprising us with new words and phrases each time he comes in for his metronome session.
If we gave end of session report cards for these kids, they would get STRAIGHT A's for their achievement thus far!
Good work!

It's fun to see the excitment...

We really enjoy getting to know the kids in our program.  Whole Child Wellness has been working with children for over two years and we have had the pleasure of meeting all types of kids.  Shy kids, happy kids, grumpy kids, angry kids.  Sometimes one kid will display all of these personalities in just one session.

It is a lot of fun to see the excitement grow as our kids progress through the program and become aware of the changes that are being made.  Sometimes they do not even notice change in themselves.  They notice change in how they are perceived by others... new friendships are made, parents are pleased, teachers praise them. They get excited about this new feedback from important people in their life. 
And we get excited knowing that we have given them the keys to a new future!

Excellent Program on Nutrition and ADHD

There is remarkable evidence that certian foods can create neurotoxins in a childs brain that make it difficult for them to think and behave. 
We invite you to join us on Thursday, May 10th at 6pm at "The Meeting Place" for important information on what foods children with neurobehavioral disorders should avoid and why. 
For more information please call 252-638-6062.  No reservation required.

Protecting your childs brain from electromagnetic pollution

#1  Limit your child's total combined exposure to video games, television, and computer to no more than 90 minutes per day during the week and no more that 2 hours per day on the weekend.  Make sure your child sits at least 6 feet from the television at all times.

#2  Limit the use of cell phones to necessity only.  Use an earplug extension if possible.

#3  Ensure that your child's brain and body are not directly exposed to electronic devices during the night.  If any devices are present within 15 feet (even through walls) of your child's bed, we recommend you disconnect them during the night. 

#4  Take ample opportunities to reconnect with the Earth by walking barefoot in the grass or in the sand at the beach.  Direct contact with the Earth helps reset our internal electromagnetic fields.

Log on to www.wholechildwellness.blogspot.com and learn why electromagnetic pollution can affect your child's brain. 

New, restructured program lessens cost and starts treatment at home.

In the first phase of the Whole Child Wellness program our focus is to determine outside substances  creating dysfunction in the brain.  Are there food sensitivities or food allergies?  Is the gut functioning properly to completely break down and digest the food consumed?  Are there any nutritional deficiencies?  Is there a build up of toxic substances such as aluminum, lead or arsenic in the tissues? 

Any of the above conditions can be the root cause of hemisphericity, and can be determined with three simple lab tests during Phase One of our program.  It takes just minutes to perform the labs, approximately 2-4 weeks to receive the results of these labs and only a day or so for Dr. Flemming to write her report.  During a private consultation, Dr. Flemming explains the results of the labs and makes very specific recommendations designed to correct any positive findings, and remove offending substances creating brain dysfunction.

Treatment is done at home by following the Dr's recommendations.  You may be required to make some dietary changes or avoid certain substances.  Reports sometimes indicate that a particular nutritional supplement would be beneficial.  With most patients, all treatment is done at home, lessening cost to the patient.
If you are interested in starting Phase One of the Whole Child Wellness program or would like more information, please contact us at staff.drflemming@embarqmail.com, call us at 252-638-2215, or log on to www.wholechildwellness.blogspot.com .

Not all stimulation is created equal.

Some stimulation's are great for us and nurture our brain, such as the stimulation provided by our muscles and joints when we move.  Other types of stimulation tax our brains for the worse.  Faulty input from vertebral subluxation's--dysfunctional areas of our spine that interfere with communication in our nervous system--are a source of strain to the brain.  For more than 100 years, chiropractors have recognized how the spine affects our brain.  When the spine is healthy and moves freely, nurturing messages are sent to the brain.  When the spine is locked or under tension, it bombards the brain with poor stimulation.
Getting chiropractic adjustments is one of the best things you can do for your brain.  Adjustments are safe, they make you feel good, and are a great way to nurture your brain!  Check our our Facebook page to watch a short video on kids getting adjusted, or for more information, log on to www.drflemming.com .

For those of you who missed our Open House...

...there is still time to come check us out! 

We worked hard to arrange and present the information, and have decided to leave most of the displays and posters in place.  Anyone who was unable to come on Saturday can still learn about hemispheric balancing.  Wednesday and Friday afternoons are a great time to stop by!

Hemispheric balancing was originally researched approximately 15 years ago by a team of chiropractors and medical neurologists at the Carrick Institute.  A brain balancing protocol was eventually developed and has been utilized by Brain Balancing Centers, The Unritalin Solution, and many pediatricians, neurologists and chiropractors.  Most recently it has been endorsed by S.H.I.N.E., Dr. Ned Hollowell's program.

Because opening nerve pathways through chiropractic manipulation is an integral part of treatment, most programs are coordinated by chiropractors.

One of the neat things we prepared for the Open House is a video of kids getting their chiropractic adjustments.  Check out our Facebook page for a quick view or ask to see it when you stop by the office!
