No Ob/Gyn practitioner should be unaware of this information. THE VITAL ROLE OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS FOR PREGNANT AND NURSING WOMEN Recently it has been discovered that the Omega-3 fats are necessary for the complete development of the human brain and nervous system during pregnancy and the first two years of life. The Omega-3 fat and its derivative, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), is so essential to a childs development that if a mother and infant are deficient in it, the childs nervous system and immune system may never fully develop, and it can cause a lifetime of unexplained emotional, learning (ADD/ADHD), and immune system disorders. Considering the enormous increase in emotional, learning, and immune system disorders in our population today, one cant help but wonder what effect this widespread nutritional deficiency is having on the breakdown today in peoples health.

Extractions: ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder . ADHD used to be known as attention deficit disorder , or ADD. In 1994, it was renamed ADHD. The term ADD is still used, though, to describe a type of ADHD that doesn't involve hyperactivity. ADHD is a medical condition that affects how well someone can sit still, focus, and pay attention. People with ADHD have differences in the parts of their brains that control attention and activity. This means that they may have trouble focusing on certain tasks and subjects, or they may seem "wired," act impulsively, and get into trouble. Symptoms and Signs of ADHD Although ADHD begins in childhood, sometimes it's not diagnosed until a person is a teen - and occasionally not even until someone reaches adulthood. Because ADHD is a broad category covering different things - attention, activity, and impulsivity - it can show up in different ways in different people. Some of the signs of ADHD are when a person has: difficulty paying attention or staying focused on a task or activity problems finishing assignments at school or home and jumping from one activity to another trouble focusing on instructions and difficulty following through losing or forgetting things such as homework feeling easily distracted, even when doing something fun
