Fish Oil Improves Reading in ADHD Kids
Fish oil is making the headlines again. It is well known that omega 3 fatty acids are important in brain development and brain cell membrane functioning. Now recent Australian research suggests that omega 3 fatty acids improve reading, writing and spelling in children with ADHD and learning difficulties. Evidence continues to strongly support the benefit of fish oil supplementation for improving cognitive functioning and behavior. This Australian study will include blood testing of fatty acid levels in attempt to establish clearer patterns between dosage and treatment response, as well as relative benefits of the different types of omega 3’s, DHA and EPA. http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/Fish-oil-improves-reading-in-ADHD-kids/2007/06/21/1182019207176.html

Dr. Cerulli,
I hope you realize that this kind of treatment is NOT “a dime-a-dozen”. My treatment was shoddy and went on-and-on for ten years with too much stimulation, etc… Now, with supp,kemtns adn proper patch I can do more like I used to know about myself. I was capable but failed again and again. I am finding the truth that I am capable with this treament multi-module approach (e.g. ADD Health and Wellness Center and my spiritual meditation) to find the way to higher-learning states- thus finding my way back to a good life.. Thanks for all you do . It was a surprise talking with you again in Plano. Please have a very cool and good summer.
