New Research Results on Learning Difficulties

[Guest guest]

I read in a quality broadsheet today that there have been findings

that children with learning difficulties including ADHD and ADD are

benefiting from using Omega 3 fatty acids supplements instead of

medication. There is quite a bit of controversy surrounding the use

of such drugs as Ritalin for ADHD etc. and in search of an

alternative, people are turning to these supplements. Omega 3 fatty

acids are contained in fish oil supplements such as Cod Liver Oil

which are available at health food shops and pharmacies.

According to the studies, they have been shown to help with learning

including maths, reading and writing, as they help with the

electrical impulses that make the connections in the brain. So it

would appear that all our children could benefit from these

supplements.

Just thought you all might like to know of this.

I agree with those findings Barbara. Olivia has been on meds

since birth for chronic constipation and I had been looking for

alternative ways to get her to when I kept coming across Hemp

Hearts. After we had her on them for about 2 weeks everyone noticed

a big change in her, she was actually sitting at circle time at

school, actually sitting down for lunchtime and so forth. Her

attention span increased dramaticaly. They are higher in Omega 3

fatty acids than the fish oils are and more easily digested. While

we still have to use meds for constipation we have seen an over all

improvement in her, I highly recommend them!
