Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose poor concentration, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "poor concentration" as a symptom. Here are eight of many possibilities (more below):

Hyperthyroidism
Epstein-Barr Virus
Hypoglycemia
Fluorosis
Electrical Hypersensitivity
Lack Of Sleep
Depression
Allergic Tension

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

unexplained sadness/crying

having elevated TT4 level

major unexplained weight loss

occasional 'chills'

disturbed sleep

hot flashes between period

occasional drowsiness

weak sexual desire

frequent bizarre dreams

frequent runny nose

slight afternoon/evening fatigue

heart racing/palpitations

... and more than 130 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of poor concentration:

Cause	Probability	Status
Allergic Tension	91%	Confirm
Hypoglycemia	24%	Unlikely
Electrical Hypersensitivity	20%	Unlikely
Hyperthyroidism	4%	Ruled out
Epstein-Barr Virus	2%	Ruled out
Lack Of Sleep	0%	Ruled out
Depression	0%	Ruled out
Fluorosis	0%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Mind Health section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about ability to concentrate:

Do you have difficulty concentrating, keeping your attention focused? Are you easily distracted?

Possible responses:

→ Don't know
→ No, it is easy for me to focus on one thing
→ Yes, slight difficulty concentrating sometimes
→ Yes, I am frequently distracted
→ Yes, it is almost impossible to focus on one thing

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either not having trouble concentrating or having trouble concentrating, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Allergic Tension Fatigue Syndrome

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

People who are inattentive have a hard time keeping their mind on any one thing and may get bored with a task after only a few minutes. They may give effortless, automatic attention to activities and things they enjoy but find it very difficult to focus deliberate, conscious attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new.

Brain Tumor

Copper Toxicity

Depression

Electrical Hypersensitivity

Environmental Illness / MCS

Fluoride Toxicity

Learning disorders, difficulty concentrating, incoherence, memory loss and confusion are all signs of fluorosis.

General Detoxification Requirement

Hypoglycemia

Lack of Sleep

Mercury Toxicity (Amalgam Illness)

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
