Petition to Senate Inquiry into No Jab, No Pay

Tasha David wrote me:
Hello
Over the last few months a group of delegates including myself have been lobbying in Canberra for a senate enquiry into the No Jab No Pay legislation.
We are very pleased to tell you that we have now succeeded!
I feel proud to be have been part of this team, who I am very pleased to call dear friends.
We achieved something that is long overdue in Australia
We had open and frank discussions with politicians about vaccination and the effects that this bill would have on the people of Australia. And some of the politicians listened!
What needs to be done next?
We need as many people as possible to make submissions to the Senate Committee Inquiry (we will provide more information and templates over the next week)
If you are not a member of AVN, please join to strengthen our voice.

Reduced Symptoms of Inattention after Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation in Boys with and without Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Dr Peter Dingle writes:
Omega 3 oils help kids with and without ADHD.
Omega 3 fatty acids have been associated with so many benefits for both kids and adults it is hard to believe that not everyone is supplementing daily with them.
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common child psychiatric disorders, and is often treated with stimulant medication. Nonpharmacological treatments include dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids vitamins and minerals.
In this study, they investigated the effects of dietary omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on ADHD symptoms and cognitive control in young boys with and without ADHD.
A total of 40 boys with ADHD, aged 8–14 years, and 39 matched, typically developing controls participated in a 16-week double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial. Kids consumed either 650 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)/docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) each or placebo.
This study shows that dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids reduces symptoms of ADHD, both for individuals with ADHD and typically developing children.
Supplementing with omega 3 fatty acids is a must for kids of all ages. This is so much more sensible than relying on pharmaceutical drugs once the kids have problems

The Best Time To Plant A Tree

The Best Time To Plant A Tree
“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” (Greek proverb) Let’s plant some trees, people!
This is true literally and figuratively.
It could also be said of one’s nutrition.
The best time to improve your nutrition is 20 years ago. The second best time is today!
