A Powerful Atttention Deficit Disorder Remedy |
 |
This powerful attention deficit disorder remedy (ADD) - as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - is further proof of the supreme effectiveness of the daily seafood diet. As usual though, the focus among the biomedical experts is still upon one or two single agents. And while the omega-3 fatty acids play a crucially vital role, this article also shows that the ignorance of the vitally important role of the 72+ natural trace elements in these conditions, and their severe deficiency in our daily nutrition, is as pervasive and widespread as ever.

Fortunately, for us, marine fish and seafood are an excellent nutritional source of both the many missing trace elements in our agriculturally produced food, as well as of the omega-3 fatty acids - and particularly so in the fatty fish like salmon, herring, and mackerel. And a daily serving of any kind of seafood, and the more the better, provides an excellent source of these so vitally important nutrients.
It is important to mention here that seafood is far better than fresh water fish, for two reasons. Most inland waters are often deficient in one or the other trace element, and almost all inland waters are now far more heavily contaminated with agricultural poisons and industrial pollutants than the open seas. This is a major health hazard. Here is why.
These pollutants usually end up in the muck on the bottom of inland waters, where they are taken up by algae. The plankton and mollusks which feed on these algae are eaten by small fry and fish, which in turn are eaten by larger fish, and so forth, and so forth. At each stage in the 'food chain' the pollutants become more and more concentrated in the larger animals, until the pollutants can reach a 300-fold concentration in the fish at the top of the food chain - the fish which we are interested in. So, and unless you know for certain that the fresh water fish comes from pristine waters, it is not a good idea - and particularly so for small children. What may be a tolerable dose for the large body mass of an adult, is a huge dose for the very small - and the smaller, like a foetus or embryo, the worse.
This information is of particularly crucial importance to pregnant women. The omega-3 fatty acids have now been recognized as being absolutely essential to normal brain development.
Meanwhile though, and however many shortcomings may be apparent in this article, it is nevertheless great good news, and you can now go ahead and resolve and prevent, as this article indicates, any attention deficit disorder (ADD), as well as attention deficit hyperactivity diorder (ADHD), dyslexia and dyspraxia problems, with one or two daily servings - and the more the better - of seafood.
The original synopsis:
Fish Could Be Alternative to Ritalin
Dr. Basant Puri, a consultant and senior lecturer at Hammersmith Hospital in Ireland has been using sophisticated imaging techniques to study the role of omega-3 fatty acids in brain function. He says he has unearthed a wealth of evidence about how supplementation with specific fatty acids can not only help those with ADD, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), but also dyslexia and dyspraxia. Puri said the findings showed that it may be prudent to try a safe nutritional solution in the first instance before using psycho stimulants such an Ritalin. The omega-3 fatty acids could also be taken by those already on Ritalin, he added. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for the brain growth of all children and particularly so for those with learning conditions, he said.
He recommends that the best results have come from supplementation with a combination of marine and botanical oils rich in a specific fatty acid called Eicosapentaenoic Acid or EPA.
