Help For Kids With ADHD/ADD

 I was told I should put my son on ADHD/ADD medication, but after doing intense research and reading the statistics of the number of children who turn to drugs as adults after being on ADHD/ADD medication, I opted for a different method. My son who is now 18 years old was diagnosed with ADD and a learning disability (which is very common with ADHD/ADD), at the age of 12.  I started him on Omega 3 supplements.  I chose a highly concentrated EPA & DHA supplement that also contained a natural triglyceride (which helps maintain the potency in your system during the digestive process). 

 After six months of taking the fish oil, three times a day, I saw amazing results!  My son not only had better concentration, but his mood swings were less severe, and frequent. His memory also greatly improved.  After one year of being on the supplements, my son tested out of the Special Education/IEP Program for speech and language therapy. His reading and comprehension test results jumped from a 3rd grade level to a 9th grade level.  The team of teachers could not believe the results and  wanted to know what I had done differently.  When I told them that the only difference was the supplements, they said that they wish I could tell other parents.

 In closing, don't just take my word for it, please do your own research as to the benefits of Omega 3 supplements.  There are several studies done by major Universities such as Harvard and Pittsburgh to back up my statements.  As a mother, who has walked in your shoes, I feel your pain and hope my experience will lead you on a path that will be beneficial not only to your children, but your entire family.
