New Book Helps Children with Learning Disorders



If you know anyone suffering from a learning disorder you need to tell them about "The LCP Solution: The Remarkable Nutritional Treatment for ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia" by B. Jacqueline Stordy Ph.D. and Malcolm J. Nicholl. It's a 340-page original trade paperback.

This important new book presents a major breakthrough in the treatment of the three most widespread learning disabilities–ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia ("clumsy child syndrome"). Although these conditions have reached epidemic proportions, treatment has been limited to physical therapies, educational strategies, or the controversial prescription drug Ritalin. Now Dr. Stordy, a leading researcher in the field, and co-author Nicholl, reveal a stunning new treatment based on nutritional supplementation with LCPs (long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids). "The LCP Solution" is the first book to describe this natural treatment and to explain how children (and adults) can incorporate it into their daily lives.

As a member of a family with a long history of dyslexia, Stordy discovered in a pioneering experiment that many dyslexic and dyspraxic children who began taking LCPs experienced dramatic transformations in the quality of their lives. At the same time, parallel studies conducted at Purdue University came up with similar results with children who had ADHD. The effect of this dietary supplement was nothing short of revolutionary: within three months, dyslexic and ADHD children became calmer, more focused, easier to teach, while dyspraxics improved significantly in dexterity and balance.

Writing with the authority of a scientist and the passion of a concerned mother, Stordy documents how this life-changing treatment came about and explains step-by-step how sufferers of each of the three major conditions can use it to change their lives at home, at school, and at work. If you or someone you love suffers from a learning disorder, this book is essential reading.

Two eminent best-selling doctor-authors have previewed the book and had this to say.

Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., co-author of "Driven to Distraction" and "Answers to Distraction," said: "This is an excellent book... offers a most persuasive, and potentially dramatically helpful, approach to improving the lives of people who have ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia."

Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom," commented: "The LCP Solution contains everything you need to know about how to achieve brain health through proper dietary supplementation with LCPs. This book is must reading not only for those suffering from ADHD and related disorders, but also for everyone interested in optimal brain health at an age."

Music Makes the Mind Come Alive

Don Campbell, author of the groundbreaking bestseller "The Mozart Effect" has a new book just published: "The Mozart Effect for Children: Awakening Your Child's Mind, Health, and Creativity With Music." It's a 320-page hardcover.

In "The Mozart Effect," Campbell confirmed that music has the power not only to soothe the soul but to heal the body as well. In his new work he offers essential guidance that will enable parents and educators to better understand music as an aid to growth, development, mental and physical health, and creative awakening in our most precious human resource.

A recent study found that visual tracking, eye-hand coordination, and other positive behaviors developed more rapidly in babies whose mothers participated in a pilot program of prenatal exposure to music. Another study found that remedial first graders who were given seven months of music instruction and visual arts training soon caught up in all subjects with an average group of children not exposed to the arts, and actually surpassed them in math.

In "The Mozart Effect for Children," Campbell shows that music is the perfect tool to improve children's language, movement, and emotional skills at home, school, and play. He presents a wealth of dynamic, inventive ways for parents and teachers to invigorate a child's imagination with music, sounds, and songs, supplying simple exercises and fun activities tailored for each age group and stage of development, from prenatal through age ten. Campbell offers ideas and exercises both practical and profound, from special ways for parents to bond with their newborns to tips on fostering good study habits and stress reduction for elementary school students.

Quote of Note

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the USA
