How is Memory Guru Programme different from rote learning?

Memorizing and writing without understanding is a last ditch effort for those who cannot understand but some how they have to get marks.

Why should you memorize if you understand?

Understanding, writing the exam and forgetting – is what we normally do. Understanding,  applying and remembering  the knowledge forever can only make the learning complete. If the matter is not of great importance and can be forgotten without consequence then such matter need not find a place in textbooks for children.

Remembering  every thing in the textbooks -  will it not cause unnecessary load on the mind?

We have two kinds of memory – Conscious and Sub Conscious. Conscious memory is like the RAM in the computer. It is used for short term and can get overloaded. Subconscious memory is infinite like the hard disk. We can remember whole encyclopedias without effort -  If we can programme the information in Subconscious. It takes time to programme the Subconscious and that is only the limitation.

How fast can we programme the subconscious mind with a year’s textbooks?

First of all the student has to understand the new knowledge and get proper connection with his old knowledge. Then he has to make detailed mind maps. Then he has to review these mind maps several hundred times. Normally it takes about 90 days of preparation time for 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th children.

Rest of the year they review and work on applications and on exams. This exercises takes about 2 to 3 hours per day. Rest of the time is for other learning’s like physical development, seva activities to the community, inter school sports, drama, debate, quiz, dance, music, foreign languages, shilpa sastra, working with teracota, stone, metal etc. people can come and see this

 Memory Guru program in workshops. You can also visit: www.unlimitedmemory.co.cc

Can other Schools take-up   Memory Guru Education?

Our intention is to provide this knowledge to all schools. Many schools are coming forward to introduce this programme. We have planned  Summer camps for children starting from April 15th for 60 Days for children going to 9th, 10th, and 12th, Std. This will provide a good base even if they are not studying Memory Guru

When were you successful in implementing this programme?

We have been experimenting from 1960. We have been successful to train even  average students in  school .

What would be the difference between those who has studied by Memory Guru method and other students in their future life?.

Normal students would have forgotten almost everything within three years and they will look more and more uneducated as days pass by. Students with Memory Guru will become brighter and brighter and will be in the  fore front of research and knowledge.

What you have done is an unbelievable revolution in education. How could you accomplish this?

I got the clues from our Vedic Pundits who remember huge texts of Vedas forever. Similarly the Holy Quran, Ram Charit Manasa, Hanuman Chalisa, Shlokas, Ramayana, Purana, Shrutis have  been memorized by millions of people.

We have applied similar methods to all the subjects  including  Sciences and Mathematics also. The process is the well known Shravana, Manana  and  Nidhidhyasa.

Does it interfere with the thinking  power  of  the  child ?

It actually increases the thinking power and makes the child smart as many   Facts,Process and Methods are at his fingertips. You can remember not only facts but also procedures for solving problems.

Why this method has not been applied in education before?

Because many times rote memory has been equated to panditya (wisdom). Many times people have memorized without understanding and do not know its application. As a result educationist found it necessary to emphasis understanding. Now they have gone over board and totally dismantled memory. Now we are just understanding and forgetting. Now, after a few years no graduate is in a position to answer their question papers (even with reasonable extra time) for which they were awarded a degree. Our effort is to bring back genuine degrees.

When a friend of mine who is a celiac asked me where to find gluten free bread, I just went to a pharmacist in Naples and found a whole range of gluten free foods. My friend who is British was amazed. The reason is that celiac disease is quite common in southern Italy and also in Ireland. She was in her late thirties at the time and had just been diagnosed as a celiac. We now know that many kids who have ADHD are celiacs and have to follow an ADHD gluten diet.

What does this mean in practical terms ? If your child is diagnosed as a celiac and also has ADHD, then he must follow a gluten free diet. If he does not, there is a risk of permanent damage to the intestine with the possibility of developing cancer (lymphona) in the intestine in adult life. It can also lead to osteoporosis, anemia and the gluten, which is nothing more than a protein, can cause an allergic reaction and the body just cannot cope with it. This is a similar reaction to that of an intolerance to other foods such as lactose. Most symptoms related to gluten intolerance are gastrointestinal in nature, not surprising as the small intestine is the first organ to be affected.

In the case of the gluten, the effects can be more serious in that it can prevent the body from absorbing some nutrients and vitamins. An intolerance to gluten has now been linked in several studies to hyperactivity in ADHD, depression and anxiety. In the ADHD gluten diet all baked products which have used whole wheat flours such as wheat, barley and rye are off limits. These grains give some elasticity in cooking which is why we use them so much in baking. This sort of texture is lacking in some of the gluten free flours and baking procedures have to be adjusted accordingly. I was surprised to learn that there are a wide range of these gluten free flours so the ADHD gluten diet can be quite varied. The grains which have no gluten are quinoa, oats, millet, buckwheat (don’t be put off by the name), cornflour, amaranth and rice.

The best diet of all whether it is gluten free or not is one based on fruit and vegetables some protein and some dairy products. This is probably the best diet all round but it is ideal for those on an ADHD gluten diet. As I said above, baking with the gluten free flours can be a challenge but now there are more and more eateries and food chains catering for celiacs. While a ADHD gluten diet will help in reducing some of the classic ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity and lack of concentration, the best remedy in combination with gluten ADHD is an ADHD homeopathic remedy which has no side effects and no health risks at all.

You must admit that the drugs industry has done a fantastic brainwashing job on the whole nation if we think of the over prescription of ADHD drugs. These drugs are a mix of amphetamines, or anti depressives or even blood pressure drugs and their safety and effectiveness have long been contested. But when we think about ADHD diagnosis and why this is not out in the open as it should be, we begin to be assailed by doubts. When we think of the massive numbers involved in this condition, disease or disorder or whatever we like to call it, we must begin to ask ourselves some pretty serious questions about the whole process of how to diagnose ADHD.

The first shocking fact is that twenty five years ago the number of ADHD cases was about half a million. Just a quarter of a century on, we are now are facing numbers which are nearer to double figures such as 8 million cases. No wonder the drug companies are laughing all the way to the bank. Is it not strange that in all that time, nobody knows how to diagnose ADHD?

So, as we ponder the wisdom of giving our children a mix of amphetamines which may lead to other serious health conditions and may not even be effective in treating ADHD, there is another shocking fact that we should be aware of. This is that fact that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has stated that no particular diagnostic tool should be used in ADHD diagnosis. Doctors and pediatricians are now agreed on how to diagnose ADHD and that is through questionnaires based on behavioral symptoms which affects how a child develops and grows in different settings such as home and school. It is unfortunately so subjective that many parents begin to doubt an ADHD diagnosis.

The third shocking fact is that nobody has come up with an accurate objective diagnostic tool for a condition which affects a sizable proportion of the population. If you think there might be a conspiracy theory on how to diagnose ADHD or NOT to diagnose it, then please feel free!

The other shocking fact is that there is a high percentage (maybe as much as 50%) of children with an ADHD diagnosis may also have a comorbid disorder such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, ODD, conduct disorder, or anxiety and depression.

Most experts now agree that parents must not expect too much from ADHD medication. They are urged to try alternative ADHD therapy and indeed, behavior modification is now favored as the best possible alternative which can work well with some form of medication. A homeopathic remedy for ADHD is ideal as there are no side effects and no health risks either.

The effects of ADHD are often overlooked and the impact on an ADHD child’s life and learning cannot be underestimated. If the condition persists into adulthood, then ADHD effects are even more devastating, causing lost work hours, more inefficiency and disastrous relationships. As well as the effects of ADHD on the individual person and on society, there is also the problem of ADHD medication. Robert Findling is a director of child psychology at the University Hospitals of Cleveland and he has expressed worry that “there is such a paucity of long-term effectiveness or safety data”. This expresses so well the worries of many parents who are looking for alternative ADHD remedies and treatment.

From experiments carried out at school, it seems that one of the ADHD effects is to double the possibility of repeating the grade and will result 10% lower grade on reading and math tests. It is interesting to note too that physical health problems such as asthma or allergies has much less of an impact on a child’s progress than ADHD.

Another one of the overlooked effects of ADHD is that well to do and better off families may actually try to avoid the whole question of treatment as they feel that there is stigma attached to this condition and that having an ADHD label may well be an added disadvantage to the child. The shallow thinking behind this sort of reasoning has alarmed many health authorities as ADHD, if left untreated, can have many negative outcomes on a person’s life and that person will pay a high price in being at increased risk of drug addiction, car accidents and a thwarted career path.

In many cases, ADHD children of lower income families can rely on getting treatment through the Medicaid schemes. This is certainly a reversal of the normal trend in other areas.

The effects of ADHD on the family unit itself are often overlooked. Siblings may suffer some trauma if there are outbursts and inappropriate behavior. Relationships between spouses are strained and there is a higher rate of divorce and separation. It has been shown time and time again that behavior modification programs are the most effective treatment in the long term and give permanent results, helping the ADHD child to take responsibility for his or her actions. An alternative to psychostimulants which is now gaining enormous popularity is the homeopathic ADHD remedy which has no side effects or health risks and is the perfect combination when tried with behavior therapy.

In ADHD impulsive aggression can be a troubling, yet all too common, symptom.  While some children who suffer from ADHD will seem withdrawn and unable to maintain concentration, others will be more impulsive and prone to striking out at those around them.  This can make every day life, particularly participating in social activities, a real ordeal.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, can manifest itself in many different ways.  Symptoms can include everything from lack of concentration, hyperactivity, and distractibility to impulsiveness and lack of inhibition.  Generally, when it comes to ADHD aggression is the most difficult symptom to deal with but it can be managed in the same way other symptoms are treated.

Most of us have the ability to control aggressive behavior, but in some children with ADHD impulsive aggression becomes a problem because the area of their brain that controls such behavior does not function properly.   For these children, there simply is no “off button” for anger and aggression.  What would be mundane annoyances for most of us can set off extreme, even dangerous, fits of temper in ADHD kids.

For many children with ADHD aggression can become a part of every day life.  They may actually enjoy engaging in risky behavior and even look for conflict and they will likely display a greater than usual lack of patience.  If things don’t go their way they can erupt into fits of anger and even lash out physically.  They may also have difficulty controlling their speech, blurting out insults or foul language.

As difficult as it may be to accept as part of ADHD impulsive aggression is definitely a common symptom and children who exhibit this behavior need the same kind of patience and support as any other ADHD child.  Behavioral therapy, dietary changes and the use of homeopathic remedies can all have a positive effect in terms of controlling aggression and impulsive tendencies.

Standard stimulant based medications can actually make ADHD aggression worse, so there is even more reason to avoid them if your child displays these behaviors.  Removing natural stimulants like sugar from the diet and having the child use behavioral management techniques like focused learning and yoga can have a calming effect and enable the child to better control his concentration.

Homeopathic remedies work more effectively than anything else to control the symptoms of ADHD impulsive aggression because they are formulated with proven ingredients like Hyoscyamus, Arsen iod, Tuberculinum.  Rather than just suppressing symptoms, these remedies address the neurological imbalance which causes the disorder, for more thorough and long lasting results.   And they carry none of the serious side effects of standard medications.

ADHD can be a difficult condition to deal with, especially when it manifests in impulsive or aggressive behavior, but it does not have to take over your child’s life.  With the right treatment, even the most disruptive forms of ADHD can be controlled, allowing ADHD children to lead happy, productive lives.  So don’t be scared away by your child’s aggression, find a treatment which works and you can all start feeling happy again.

Medicines for ADHD have been a cause for much controversy and there continues to be great debate over the efficacy of standard stimulant based medications.  Since most standard medications carry serious side effects, there is very real cause for concern.  Fortunately for patients and their families, there are other options available which offer safe treatment and long lasting results.

ADHD can have a wide range of symptoms including hyperactivity, lack of concentration, inability to focus and physical tics.  Because ADHD can vary from patient to patient, using a traditional ADHD med to combat symptoms can be a difficult choice.  Since most traditional medications treat the surface symptoms, not every medicine will work the same for each patient and none of them may be wholly effective.   

Traditional medicines for ADHD include Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta and Strattera, all of which are stimulant based.  These medications work by increasing the production of dopamine in the brain, boosting concentration and improving focus while reducing hyperactivity.  While this is the ideal effect, often it is not really achieved and even when it is, without also addressing the neurological imbalance that causes ADHD there can be no long term solution.  

Along with failing to adequately treat ADHD, stimulant based drugs carry side effects such as nausea, dizziness, changes in appetite, sleeplessness and agitation.  In some cases an ADHD med can cause changes in heart function or trigger other serious ailments like psychosis and depression.   

Fortunately, there are other options for treatment which don’t involve the use of medicines for ADHD.  These include behavior management, dietary changes and natural relaxation techniques.   Removing stimulants like sugar and caffeine from the diet can have a marked effect on hyperactivity and impulsiveness.   Auditory and neurofeedback can help to encourage concentration and relaxation methods such as yoga can help to calm and soothe agitation.

Another option which doesn’t involve a traditional ADHD med is the use of homeopathic treatments.  Made from a special blend of herbs and other plant based ingredients, these products represent a major step forward in ADHD treatment by addressing the underlying cause of the condition.  Evening out neurological imbalance can not only serve to lessen symptoms but offer long term healing.

Unlike drugs, homeopathic remedies which contain herbs such as Hyoscyamus, Arsen iod, and Tuberculinum are safe, gentle and effective medicines for ADHD because they work without any side effects.

ADHD can be a difficult and confusing condition to deal with, but the good news is that there are many different treatments available meaning you do not have to rely solely on stimulant based medications.  Just as every ADHD patient is unique, so too should treatment methods be.  Consider all your options and find the one which works for your child and you’ll be able to notice a real change for the better.

The Choice between Ritalin and Supplements.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( Adult ADHD) is an internationally recognized, medical condition. Scientists have figured out that people with ADD recycle the same amount of dopamine every five minutes what it takes the average brain to recycle in an hour. This may explain why ADD is such a here and now disorder and why these children can’t sit still. Just like mercury as long as its rolling it stays together when it stops it falls apart. Vaccines?

The problem in the UK is that we are 10 years behind other European countries such as Sweden both in diagnosing, treatment and managing the condition. One of the greatest mis-understandings is that people make out that bad parenting is the cause. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Scientists have figured out that people with ADD recycle the same amount of dopamine every five minutes what it takes the average brain to recycle in an hour. This may explain why ADD is such a here and now disorder and why these children can’t sit still.

And ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)? Only that ADHD is the official term and ADD is the more popular and media known one.

In order to meet diagnostic criteria, ADD behaviors must be excessive, long-term, and pervasive. The behaviors must appear before the age 7, and continue for at least 6 months. A crucial consideration is that the behaviors must create a real handicap in at least two areas of a person’s life, such as school, home, work, or social settings.

Reports are estimating that 4-6% of the population has ADD. Approximately one-half to two-thirds of children with ADD will continue to have significant problems with ADD symptoms and behaviors as adults. Many are ending up in the criminal system and girls who make up 25% of the ADD population are being missed.

Of the kids who are diagnosed, 5% of all school kids in Scotland, 50-70% of them will have another disorder, conduct disorder, depression, anxiety and obsessions, specific learning difficulties, speech and language disorder, low self esteem, social skills difficulties, relationship problems, substance abuse, auditory processing difficulties, dyspraxia, or asperger’s syndrome.

Mindroom

Sophie Dow who has a daughter with learning difficulties has set up a Scottish charity called MindRoom to address the needs of all these children. MindRoom this year held the biggest national conference ever in Edinburgh on the subject with over 800 delegates and 17 world renowned experts on the subject in attendance.

At the conference Professor Robert Doyle, a psychiatric professor from Harvard, explained a lot of the facts to me about this condition. Not only did he explain the symptoms in children but the long term consequences, if it is not recognized and treated for adults. “ADD is multifactorial and is a life condition,” he said. “In adulthood there is a 40% risk of alcoholism, 10-30% risk of drug addiction, and 10% risk of conduct disorder. By fifteen years of age 20% of the ADD population are self medicating with 75% of ADD adults smoking.”

So I asked “Why Ritalin?”

Drugs such as methylphenidate (or Ritalin) are used in the management of the disorder. These are stimulants that for a reason which is not known, bring the brain chemistry back into balance. The brain starts recycling dopamine every hour rather than every five minutes.

Alternative Medicine For ADHD

Peter Bennet a nutritionist who is a retired police superintendent from The Cactus Clinic in Edinburgh, treats kids with this disorder with food state nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B6 and essential fatty acids. They have found through genetic testing that some of the kids have a genetic disease called pyroluria which makes them have difficulty absorbing nutrients. They focus on the child’s diet. He told me that food state Vitamin B6 in their experience will give you the same beneficial effects as Ritalin. They also have seen that ADHD medications affect the child’s appetite which may worsen the problem.

Mothers at the conference held in Edinburgh on the subject said that they had to wait and fight for at least seven months for a diagnosis and in some cases years. All the mothers I interviewed said that all they wanted was just the best for their children. The ADD child can come from a family with other children that have no behavioral problems – so it’s not the parenting that is at fault.

Natural Treatment For ADHD

Many successful people have the condition and openly admit to it. Both psychiatrists had interesting stories about the condition. The son of a famous CEO was sent to a psychiatrist who took part in the conference who successfully treated the son for ADD after he had dropped out of university. He then received a call from the father requesting a meeting as he had been taking the same medication the son had secretly and was “feeling a whole lot better”.

Professor Samy Molcho, the protégé of Matisse the mime art genius from The Max Reinhard Institute said in conclusion “it might not be the child it might the school that is the problem. It’s not about what makes us happy its about what makes him happy.

Creation is not logical so we have to stop reducing everything and putting it in order. As long as you don’t react “I” don’t exist. Where there is movement there is life.”
