Research has clearly established a link between omega fatty acids and general health, particularly cardiovascular health. Omega Fatty Acids in Brain and Neurological Health, Second Edition, illustrates the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in longevity, cognitive impairment and structure and function of the brain's neurons and also the adverse effects of omega-6 fatty acids on neurological function. This book encompasses some of the most recent research on the links between omega fatty acids and the developing brain, aging, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, including the role of omega-3 fatty acid supplements on hippocampal neurogenesis, substantia nigra modulation, migraine headaches, the developing brain in animals, sleep and neurodegenerative diseases. This completely updated second edition focuses on the counterbalancing dietary and tissue omega-6 fatty acids as well as it studies the effects in pregnancy and early infancy, animal model studies and autoimmune neurological diseases. - Provides a comprehensive introduction to omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in neurological health and directions for future research - Features novel focus on the adverse effects of omega-6 fatty acids on neurological function and the counterbalancing of dietary and tissue omega-6 - Illustrates the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in longevity and cognitive impairment - Features new chapters on early effects in pregnancy and early infancy, animal model studies and autoimmune neurological diseases - Discusses links between omega fatty acids and the developing brain, aging, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, including the role of omega-3 fatty acid supplements

This program will examine the effectiveness of neurofeedback in conjunction with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation at reducing symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and increasing academic performance in children and adolescents ages 6 to 17. The participants of Omega-Neurofeedback treatment will partake in neurofeedback therapy two to three times per week for 12 weeks, for a total of 36 sessions, in conjunction with daily omega-3 fatty acid supplementation. The participants will complete the Conners-3, the CPT-II and the NEPSY-II while their parents and teachers complete the Conners-3 rating scales in the pretreatment, treatment, and post treatment phases of the program. Participants will be encouraged to continue daily omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and return six months post treatment to be re-assessed and to complete a booster neurofeedback therapy phase followed by parent and teacher evaluations. A final re-evaluation will be completed one year post treatment phase. The participants and their parents will receive psychoeducational literature regarding ADHD and Omega-Neurofeedback treatment, as well as, participate in several sessions of psychosocial counseling.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterised by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. -- It has been suggested that ADHD subjects show lower levels of long chain-polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) than typically developing people. A number of studies have argued for a preliminary effect of LC-PUFAs supplement for ADHD subjects, but these studies had methodological limitations. -- The aims of this study were to examine the relationships between blood fatty acid levels, the supposed symptoms of fatty acid deficiency, and hyperactive behaviour. -- The methods used were: -- 1. Analysis of blood samples to explore the relationship between the levels of LC-PUFAs in blood and behavioural measures in children with ADHD. -- 2. Development of a self-report measure of the supposed symptoms of LC-PUFA deficiency, and examination of its association with measures of LC-PUFAs in blood. -- 3. A randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled trial for 12 weeks. Participants were given either a combination of LC-PUFAs or placebo capsules. Behavioural change was analysed using several different questionnaires. (Brain function was also evaluated, but this was in combination with other studies and is therefore reported in a separate appendix). -- Results: -- There were weak negative correlations between parent ratings of ADHD and fatty acid levels in blood, but some correlations (eg. With teacher ratings) were in the opposite direction from that hypothesised. After correction for multiple testing there were no reliable associations of behaviour with either blood levels or supposed symptoms of LC-PUFA deficiency. Supplementation with [omega]-3 LC-PUFAs increased fatty acid levels in blood significantly in the active treatment group, but the subjects' improvement in ADHD symptoms was not significant compared to controls.

This important new book documents a major breakthrough in the treatment of the three most widespread learning disabilities--ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia ("clumsy child syndrome"). Although these conditions have reached epidemic proportions, treatment has been limited to ineffective behavioral therapies or the controversial prescription drug Ritalin. Now Dr. B. Jacqueline Stordy, a leading researcher in the field, reveals a stunning new treatment based on a simple nutritional supplement: LCP (long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids). The LCP Solution is the first book to describe this new natural treatment and to explain how children (and adults) can incorporate it into their daily lives. As a member of a family with a long history of dyslexia, Dr. Stordy discovered in a pioneering experiment that dyslexic and dyspraxic children who began taking a dietary supplement consisting of LCP experienced dramatic transformations in the quality of their lives. At the same time, parallel studies conducted at Purdue University came up with similar results with children who had ADHD. The effect of this dietary supplement was nothing short of revolutionary: after only a few weeks, dyslexic and ADHD children became calmer, more focused, easier to teach, while dyspraxics improved significantly in dexterity and balance, showing markedly less anxiety. In The LCP Solution, Dr. Stordy documents how this life-changing treatment came about and explains step-by-step how sufferers of each of the three major conditions can use it to change their lives at home, at school, and at work. Illuminating, vividly presented, and authoritative in its findings, this book will revolutionize our approach to learning disabilities. LCPs are natural, simple to use, and amazing in their benefits. If you or someone you love suffers from a learning disability, this book is essential reading.

THE OMEGA-3 CONNECTION is a persuasive title on why our ancestors relied so much on omega 3 oils, found in oily fish, flaxseed, game, human breast milk and walnuts, for their brain development and general health. We eat far far less omega 3's than our ancestors did, and here, Andrew L. Stoll, M.D. argues that most of us have been deficient in these essential oils from babies onwards, especially if we weren't breastfed. Omega 3's are vital to overall health of the brain and heart. The results are the maladies of our age - depression, post natal depression, an increase in degenerative diseases of the mind like Altzheimers, and an increase in heart attacks and strokes. Backed up by new research from the Universities of Sheffield and Oxford, this is a fantastic pointer to restoring your body and mind's natural balance.

A revolutionary new approach to ADD/ADHD featuring cutting-edge research and strategies to help readers thrive, by the bestselling authors of the seminal books Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction “An inspired road map for living with a distractible brain . . . If you or your child suffer from ADHD, this book should be on your shelf. It will give you courage and hope.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling co-author of Raising Cain World-renowned authors Dr. Edward M. Hallowell and Dr. John J. Ratey literally “wrote the book” on ADD/ADHD more than two decades ago. Their bestseller, Driven to Distraction, largely introduced this diagnosis to the public and sold more than a million copies along the way. Now, most people have heard of ADHD and know someone who may have it. But lost in the discussion of both childhood and adult diagnosis of ADHD is the potential upside: Many hugely successful entrepreneurs and highly creative people attribute their achievements to ADHD. Also unknown to most are the recent research developments, including innovations that give a clearer understanding of the ADHD brain in action. In ADHD 2.0, Drs. Hallowell and Ratey, both of whom have this “variable attention trait,” draw on the latest science to provide both parents and adults with ADHD a plan for minimizing the downside and maximizing the benefits of ADHD at any age. They offer an arsenal of new strategies and lifestyle hacks for thriving with ADHD, including • Find the right kind of difficult. Use these behavior assessments to discover the work, activity, or creative outlet best suited to an individual’s unique strengths. • Reimagine environment. What specific elements to look for—at home, at school, or in the workplace—to enhance the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit inherent in the ADHD mind. • Embrace innate neurological tendencies. Take advantage of new findings about the brain’s default mode network and cerebellum, which confer major benefits for people with ADHD. • Tap into the healing power of connection. Tips for establishing and maintaining positive connection “the other Vitamind C” and the best antidote to the negativity that plagues so many people with ADHD. • Consider medication. Gets the facts about the underlying chemistry, side effects, and proven benefits of all the pharmaceutical options. As inspiring as it is practical, ADHD 2.0 will help you tap into the power of this mercurial condition and find the key that unlocks potential.
