Boys
Behaving Badly Trial |
Don't miss this two-part television
programme 'Tonight with Trevor McDonald' to be shown on Monday
25th April and Friday 29th April at 8pm on ITV.
The programme follows three aggressive
teenagers who had a history of getting into trouble and disruptive
behaviour at schools.
The teenagers were assessed by the Brain
Bio Centre in South West London, who specialise in mental health
problems using optimum nutrition.
(telephone 020 8871 9261)
We haven't seen the programmes yet, but
know that their usual methods would involve changes to diet, with the
addition of nutritional supplements.
As most teenagers with behavioural and
learning problems have poor blood sugar control, and a lack of nutrients
in their diets (especially B and C vitamins and essential fats such as
omega 3, as well as zinc, and perhaps magnesium and other nervous system
nutrients), we imagine that we will see positive changes in these
teenagers.
Don't miss this programme - Monday and
Friday, 25th and 29th April on ITV at 8pm.
 More of a pandemic really! Now that the
kids are back at school, you may need some
Delacet.

"Hurrah
......... Well at last it has taken a young man with a passion
(which should be held by every person) to be happy. Yes, because
that is what this will help so many of our children to be:
-
happier
sunnier children
-
less
visits to the doctor
-
better
body and internal growth
-
other
people will like these children better too
-
their
ability to learn and absorb information
-
and best
of all they may be happier teenagers
I have seen the
results of better nutrition for myself and would like to say I
was very pleased to see your references to this in your
newsletter. Again I say well done Jamie."
Recipes
which you have sent us:
"My
daughter hates sandwiches so, when she had to stay packed
lunch, I prepared a cold pasta salad. I cooked and chilled
pasta shapes and added small pieces of cucumber, cherry
tomatoes, cubed cheese and a handful of peanuts.(The beauty
of it is, you can add whatever you like or have in and it is
always delicious!)" P.
Lawson
"I give my
7 year old roasted vegetables (left over from the evening
before) with couscous or cold pasta, and add pine nuts or
cashew nuts. The box always comes home empty!"
Mrs Nuttall
"Wraps with
leftover chicken with lettuce, basil and tomato ... but
remove the tomato seeds so the wrap doesn't get soggy. This
is a big hit with my son." Mr G. Michael
"Cold
salmon or chicken pieces from the night before with some
salad. 4 times out of 5 they eat it and sometimes it makes
it way home again!" Teresa
