Holy crap! Where can I get some of that stuff? My kids don't need diet pills, but they definitely could use some help in the concentration department...
On a serious note, though, it's a little scary that they're resorting to giving children diet pills in the first place. If parents spent more time getting their kids out and about instead of plonking them in front of the telly every night, and took a little more time to feed them properly we wouldn'thave the problem in the first place.

I really hope people don't start jumping to the idea of making their kids 'smarter' with a diet pill before more studies are undergone.
As with many other drugs, side effects could be seen many years from now or could have gone undetected.
Either way, that is amazing!

I have had my boys on Omega 3 and 6 this past 2 years and have found it made a big difference.
Both were slightly hyperactive and poor concentration levels before hand, now, 70 percent better.

Not surprised...I've been saying for years that most medical and psychological problems are either caused by or can be fixed by diet. Food additives and genetic tampering hasn't been studied enough to prove long term safety.

the omega supplements have been shown to have this effect on children's brains before. Most of our (western) diets do not contain enough omegas.
It's not a case of 'agreeing' or not- research has shown that this does have an effect.

Do they work on adults? My brain could do with a bit of a boast!
