ADHD and aggression

Recent research into possible reasons for aggression have highlighted the impact of neurotransmitters on brain function.

Autism

The following comment was received regarding autism: Speech and language delay & autism spectrum disorder are already some issues as they are.

Paracetamol linked to hay fever in children

Every time I see an ad on TV showing parents using Panadol (paracetamol) on their babies, I cringe!  There is no such thing as a safe drug, especially on babies and infants. A study in paediatric health has revealed that paracetamol use in infants increases the risk of developing hay fever significantly.  Read the full … Read more

Leg cramps

Epigenetics: Protection from Omega 3

The ability of dietary fatty acids to improve the outcomes of many conditions has been well established. In addition to the well-known interactions on the metabolism of eicosanoids, one of the most interesting areas of research on the mechanisms of action of fatty acids is epigenetics—a term that refers to the ability of diet, lifestyle, … Read more
