DHA

Well, as some of you may know we have had Desimond on DHA (fish oil) for more than a year. I really have seen a great improvement in his ability to concentrate and relax. This week I read an article on giving extremely high doses of it and the wonderful results they found in kids with ADHD. Now Desimond has sensory integration dysorder not ADHD, but we are upping his dose...amazingly enough the only side effect reported was diarrhea. Compared to Ritalin, the studies concluded that the DHA has the same effect as the drug within 4 days of taking it! This may not work for everyone, but one of the studies stated that ADHD is almost nonexistant in Japan, because they eat so much fish in their diet! This is the article if you are interested....
