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,

RL

I was not. What made you think....I was?

I merely posted a study which proves it does help.

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.

Have you?

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.

Do write them and complain. I'll bet they will refer to your x-pert
knowledge
of how studies should be done.

Your study is published where??

Because she isn't a liar. She did mention (just a few) of the side effects
of Ritalin.

Maybe you have called it directly as you see it.

And maybe that really is the point, here.
(thus I truncate to emphasize merely that ... )

I suppose that it's just human nature. We are all like this, regardless
of whether we, at one time or another "know" not to be so. Mark isn't
any different on this than yourself.

What do I see?

Tunneling into the focus of awareness is akin to becoming fascinated
with the trees.

A person is apt to forget about the forest they are exploring.

My comments were intended to address the forest.

Makes my fingernails sweat.
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 !!!!

Got a link. I do not use it, or consume any foods made with it since I
do not like how I feel after eating it, so it is not my concern.
However, others may benefit.

Good point. I wonder if that is an effect of the fish oils or is it
mediated by the disorder.

More research.

Anyone got a good stream and want a few hundred AD/HDers for the summer?

Please link back to the original.
