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. It seems like the study design and the claim made do not match. There should have been a fourth group - that receiving a properly prescribed therapeutic daily dosage of methylphenidate (Ritalin). And, I have never heard of methylphenidate (or any c.n.s. stimulant for that matter) causing hallucinations. I am not informed enough to comment confidently on the claim of "aggression". I will offer an opinion, 'though, that that can be left to interpretation and that a research clinician, being a human being, will sometimes find something just because he/she wants to find or is specifically looking for it. The "heart problems" you describe are likely the commonly known and rather manageable side effect of "edginess" which can be approximated be a "normy" having had too much coffee, and which can probably be alleviated by a dosage change, a timing change, taking the med with food, reducing or eliminating caffeine consumption, and/or changing the med if THAT particular patient just doesn't achieve an acceptable cost/benefit ratio from taking methylphenidate. -stan Is that YOU, Stanley? LOL. Poor Mark. Too lazy..or don't know how to click on. Find messages by this author. Stan is an old timer from asad and what I typed was a greeting. I know that being functionally illiterate, as you are, makes one look stupid, so I will not think that you are a moron for what you posted. |

Okay - I know better than this, but I'm impulsive and defensive - good qualities to have on an open forum, right? Anyway - Jan, this seems quite a reach just to attempt a jab at Mark. I haven't posted on here in several years - and wasn't regularly active for several years before *that*. Thus - it isn't laziness - as I'm sure you already knew, but more of the "Fred? God - it's been ages! How's the wife and family?" scenario. Exactly. You fightin' with Mark or something - cuz really - kind of a weird post. You know what a forced rhyme is? Have you ever seen that (kid) at a party who is trying so hard to fit in and join the conversation - and he tells a joke that just poops out in mid air, and all goes silent as the tumbleweed rolls by........?

It is a rhetorical statement since your post was demonstrative of your functional illiteracy. I did not call you a name. Comprehension 101.

Pointing out your deficiencies is not abusing you, but an effort to help you. It is a fact that you are functionally illiterate. No, that is not a fact.
