Learning disorders breath test A simple breath test could be used in the future to identify children with learning disorders. The test which is being researched at Oxford University in the United Kingdom analyzes breath samples for ethane, a by-product of the breakdown of fatty acids in the body. It will enable doctors to discover which children are 'burning up' fatty acids quicker than normal and who would, therefore, be more likely to benefit from LCP supplementation. The six-month test is actually being conducted on 120 children with dyspraxia-some of whom are taking a fish oil supplement, while the others receive a placebo. Dr. who is heading the research for the Dyslexia Research Trust, told the London Daily Mail: " For too long many children with dyslexia and dyspraxia have been misunderstood and their talents have gone unrecognized. Early identification is crucial, and the exciting thing about this biochemical test is that it is simple and non-invasive, so it's suitable even for young children. " Added Dr. , " Our research has already shown a clear link between diet and some of the behavioral and learning problems associated with dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD. Certain key fatty acids found in fish oil and evening primrose are crucial in shaping brain development and function, but they have been disappearing from many modern diets. Fatty acids are good for everybody, but some people seem to need more of them. They seem particularly crucial for individuals predisposed to these kinds of specific learning difficulties. " New study bolsters benefits for ADHD/Dyslexia A recently published study provides further evidence of the benefits of LCP supplementation in children with learning disorders. The study, which appeared in " Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry " , was conducted by of Oxford University and Basant Puri of the Imperial College School of Medicine at London's Hammersmith Hospital. In their study, forty-one children, aged eight to twelve years, with both specific learning difficulties (mostly dyslexia) and above-average ADHD ratings, were either given Efalex or a placebo for a twelve-week period. This was a randomized, double-blind trial so the researchers did not know which children received the dummy capsule or the real thing. At the beginning and end of the study a range of behavioral and learning problems was assessed using standardized parent rating scales. There was no difference between the two groups at the beginning of the trial. But after twelve weeks the children receiving Efalex showed significant improvements. This group scored significantly lower on general behavior problems, and significant improvement in the anxious /shy and cognitive problems subscale. The researchers commented: " Under double-blind conditions, supplementation was found to be significantly better than placebo in reducing a wide range of ADHD-related symptoms in children with specific learning difficulties. " In encouraging larger trials the researchers encouraged specific investigation of the value of the omega-3 fatty acid EPA. The supplement they used was said to contain 480 mg of DHA and 186 mg of EPA. Apraxia-more and more Amazing anecdotal reports continue to come in of children with apraxia suddenly beginning to talk after LCP supplementation. One recent story on the list mentioned an eight-year-old boy who had had to use an augmentative device to communicate. Some of his vocalizations sounded like grunts. After a few months of taking ProEFA he was speaking in two word sentences and didn't even want to use the augmentative device any more. Because . . . he was " talking! " Another mother reported: " We briefly stopped my son's Omega-3 to see if we really were seeing the results as a direct result of using it. It was devastating. Within 24 hours he had returned to nearly completely non-verbal and was miserable. We will never attempt that experiment again. " After LCP supplementation the mother of a four-year-old boy diagnosed with severe apraxia wrote: " Lately everybody has been commenting on how well they can understand . I noticed that I was not interpreting for 's friends anymore. He even could have phone conversations and could be understood most of the time. On Monday he was re-tested and had a speech sample done. I had high hopes for the outcome. The speech therapist was amazed. She said that in January he was 68 percent intelligible. She told us that yesterday the scoring showed he was 86 percent intelligible. A 20 percent increase in less than three months! I am so proud of I could shout it from the mountain tops! Many parents have been reporting how LCP supplementation has literally " jump started " their child's ability to speak. You'll find hundreds of stories if you visit " LCP Solution " published in UK " The LCP Solution: The Remarkable Nutritional Treatment for ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia " by B.

Praise has already come from Dr. Brewer of The Daily Telegraph, who commented, " LCPs are one of the most exciting recent discoveries in child development. They have the potential not only to prevent, but also to help treat, common learning difficulties. This book is an important guide to using LCPs.
