Brain Gym Programs offer safe and effective tools to help those with ADHD as well as
many other health concerns including stress, reading and learning disabilities, etc.
Already used in classrooms and workshops throughout the world, Brain Gym offers hope
for those looking for alternatives to ADHD medications.


Press Release Body = After years of psychiatrists reporting that ADHD stimulants are
safe and effective, in February of this year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
announced that all ADHD drug manufacturers must warn the public that the drugs can
cause serious psychiatric and cardiovascular problems. These problems include heart
attack, stroke, mania and even sudden death. Parents of children with ADHD were
left with the agonizing decision of what to do. Is it safe to keep their children
on these potentially harmful medications? What would happen to their children when
they take them off these medications? Is there a safe alternative?

Dr. Paul E Dennison believes there is a healthy and safe alternative. A solution
that is already being used in classrooms, workshops and homes throughout the world
for not only helping with ADHD, but also helping with other learning and reading
challenges, stress reduction, and overall better health and well being. The
profoundly simple Brain Gym activities offer tremendously positive results and
often eliminate the need for dangerous prescription drugs completely. For parents
looking for an alternative to starting or continuing a medicine regime, this can be
the answer they longed for.

Dr. Dennison recommends that you consult your family physician before commencing an
exercise program. Dennison has found that most doctors will welcome the Brain Gym
movement program as an alternative, as no one really knows the true harm done to
those who do take the prescription drugs. Dennison believes that ADHD is an
insufficiency in the ability to focus attention and to tune out distractions, one
that can be illuminated by processes that integrate the functioning of the brain and
the body, which is exactly what the Brain Gym Program does.

As a professional educator and a pioneer in the field of applied neuroscience and a
world authority on cognitive skills and reading achievement, Dennison has done
extensive field studies in this area. During the last twenty-five years, Dr.
Dennison has taught workshops in movement-based learning in more than fifteen
countries, being presented with numerous honors, including the Reading Excellence
through the Arts (RETA) Award from the International Reading Association. He has
also written eight books, including his latest, Brain Gym and Me: Reclaiming the
Pleasure of Learning. His books have been distributed through eighty countries'
bookstores, with a total sold of over 415,000 copies. These books have also been
translated into more than forty languages.

What makes the Brain Gym special?

. It reactivates whole brain function via the intimate connection with body movement.
. It achieves the necessary focus of attention with activities that relax the
tendon-guard survival reflex and help children feel safe in their body.
. Sometimes one Brain Gym session can help a person do linear and recognition tasks
simultaneously, thus overcoming the reading impediment labeled as dyslexia.
. Children will naturally enjoy reading, as good stories activate the imagination.
. Children learn to read words other writers have put together to express their
thoughts, emotions, and observations, starting with the writing of their peers.

Methods to create fundamental structures for learning include:

. Music and dance.
. Tapping things out.
. Developing active listening.
. Receiving visual, kinesthetic, and tactile input simultaneously.

If you or your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, look for an alternative to the
medications that are being too readily prescribed. Parents need to carefully
reassess the situation on a case-by-case basis to see what is the best for their
family. Dennison's latest Book, Brain Gym and Me: Reclaiming the Pleasure of
Learning provides useful exercises and information on Brain Gym basics and how it
can benefit you and your family. Your kids deserve the best; let our program help
them achieve that. For additional information please contact publicist, Diana Ennen,
