New Treatment for ADHD
* Recent Issue Posted - A New Study of Fatty Acid Supplementation for ADHD * If you missed the May issue of Attention Research Update, it is now available on the web. In this issue of Attention Research Update I review an interesting study on the use of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation as a treatment for children with high levels of ADHD symptoms. Prior research on this treatment approach - which has been reviewed in Attention Research Update - has yielded promising results and the study described below makes a nice addition to this developing body of work. I believe you will find the results of this study to be quite interesting. If you missed this issue when it was sent out several weeks ago, I believe you will find it to be of interest. You can find the article at www.helpforadd.com/2007/may.htm |

Omega 3 helps brain functions
I have been taking Omega 3 supplements for years now. I started taking it actually to help out my joints, because I have Kallman's Syndrome, which can lead to oesterprosis (not sure if I spelled that right). But later learned that the Omega 3 helps brain functions as well. I have seen a tremendous improvement in concentration and also calmness since I been taking them. |

Omega 3
I was giving my son Omega 3 for a long time and didn't notice any difference. I'm very much in favor of alternative treatments but this didn't do it for us. |

Have you tried zinc??
There are great studies out there on zinc and how most adhd brains are deficient. I have been doing it in conjunction with a very pure DHA omega 3 oil for my son and so far it seems to have helped. |

zinc/omega 3
Dear Bonnie, Do you know if there is a test the doctor can give to confirm whether someone has a zinc deficient? Would you mind telling which brand of omega 3 oil you are using and does it have the 4 to 1 epa to dha ratio that some articles are suggesting is best? Thanks Quote: bonnie said: There are great studies out there on zinc and how most adhd brains are deficient.
