Thumbs up Best of Fishy Medicine

One of the most powerful natural health concepts I know of is to: think of food and supplements as serious medicine. Don�t just dismiss them as something we all need to sustain our bodies. Food is so much more than that. There are naturally occurring chemicals in everyday foods that can promote healing in ways that medications cannot. What�s more, using food to enhance health puts you in the enviable position of protecting your good health so that, eventually, you may not require certain medical interventions at all.

Many health experts consider fish a superfood. Chief among its attributes are two omega-3 fatty acids, DHA or docosahexaenoic acid and EPA or eicosapentaenoic acid, which appear to influence the human body and brain in some positive and specific ways. This is illustrated in several current studies that are featured in the medical literature:

Recently, a group of 92 children with ADHD was given a placebo or 500 mg of EPA over a 15 week period. Those receiving the fish oil demonstrated improvements in ADHD symptoms as measured by the Conners� Parent/Teacher Rating Scale. The kids classified as �oppositional� exhibited the greatest reduction in undesirable symptoms. The concluding remarks of the researchers note that, �Increasing EPA and decreasing omega-6 fatty acid concentrations in phospholipids were related to clinical improvement�.
