Fish oils treat ADHD better than prescription drugs, study shows
According to the results of a new study from the University of South
Australia, fish oil is more effective at treating children with attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than stimulant drugs, such as commonly
prescribed Ritalin.
The 15-week study, which included 132 children ages 7 to 12, split the
children into three groups. The first group received a daily dose of omega-3
fish oil; the second group received the fish oil plus a multi-vitamin and
mineral pill; and the third group received a placebo.

By the end of the study, the children in the first and second groups showed
major improvement in the reduction of hyperactivity symptoms and also
displayed increased levels of concentration, compared to the placebo group.

Natalie Sinn, the study's leader, said the results showed that omega-3 fish
oils boosted the concentration and brainpower in kids displaying ADHD
symptoms, but without the side effects of Ritalin, which can include
hallucinations, heart problems and aggressive behavior.

Mega doses of fish oil for an extended period had zero effect on me.

Ginko leaf, however seems to have a real, and moderately potetent
psychoactive effect.
It's a real drug. ... only it isn't prescribed and it doesn't have the
'modern medicine' label attached to it.

Ginko gives me weird memory connections. they seem like garbage
associations to me. If I consumed enough, I wouldn't be surprised to
discover that I was hallucinating.

Anyone who imagines that natural or herbal remedies are signifcantly
different from 'big business' pharmaceuticals because they are quote
"Natural ..." is harboring a foolish and dangerous CONCEPTION.

Many oif the controlled substances in use today are natural

opium
coccaine
barbituates .. mandrax (pheynolbarbitol ) mandrax(ke) root (?)

etc , etc.

Who are you fooling, eh?

Cordially,

As for natural products not being carcinogenic?

ROTFLMAO ...

For example ...

Look into just how carcinogenic 'capsicum' ( The active ingredient in
hot peppers ) is ....

( I only discovered this little tidbit of knowledge in the past few
years! )

Think about it the next time you eat suicide 'hot' chicken wings ...

This paragraph highlights a problem with the headline of the article.
The headline reads "Fish oils treat ADHD *better than* prescription
drugs". When comparing items (the use of *better than*), one should
actually use the items being compared.

Since this study clearly did not compare fish oil to prescription drugs
there is absolutely no way to claim that they are more effective than
prescription drugs.

By the end of the study, the children in the first and second groups showed
major improvement in the reduction of hyperactivity symptoms and also
displayed increased levels of concentration, compared to the placebo group.

Natalie Sinn, the study's leader, said the results showed that omega-3 fish

symptoms, but without the side effects of Ritalin, which can include
hallucinations, heart problems and aggressive behavior.

However, she did not mention that the kids had an overwhelming urge to
swim upstream.

It's no joke!

IIRC, the rate of stomach cancer is 5 to 10 times ( or more ) higher
in countries such as Mexico which consume a lot of hot pepper.

I never knew this, until a few years ago !!!!

Where did you get that. I don't see anything that says capsicum is
carcinogenic when ingested. There is something about pepper spray out
there on the Web.

I'm not certain ...

I recall hearing it on Canadian NPR (CBC) ... coming from an
epidemiologist in response to the "harmless" usage of pepper spray.
(???) I don't fully trust my memory as to the occupation of the person
who was claiming such)

Assuming it's true ( and I suspect it is so ...) it's a real eye
opener, eh?

Perhaps others could shed more light on this rumor?

BTW, I also recall hearing at the same time (?) or otherwise ... that
the rate of stomach cancer was greately elevated in places such as
Newfoundland ... which has a long tradition of consuming large amounts
of nitrite/nitrate cured food ...

You would believe that statistic wouldn't you?

The point is that you can still go to your store and buy
nitrite/nitrate laced corned beef. Right?

Is it banned? No.

Are the statistics derived from the consequences of consuming "much"
of it visibly reported?

Doesn't seem to be so.

Everone (epidemiologists) are well aware of it, however.

We choose what we eat. ... Even if it is clearly known to be
consequentially carcinogenic.

Unpasteurized milk and unpasteurized cheese is another example, BTW ...

It tastes wonderful! .. but that flavor comes with a cost/risk.
