Product Description
This important new book documents 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 ineffective behavioral therapies or the controversial prescription drug Ritalin. Now Dr. B. Jacqueline Stordy, a leading researcher in the field, reveals a stunning new treatment based on a simple nutritional supplement: LCP (long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids). The LCP Solution is the first book to describe this new 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, Dr. Stordy discovered in a pioneering experiment that dyslexic and dyspraxic children who began taking a dietary supplement consisting of LCP 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: after only a few weeks, dyslexic and ADHD children became calmer, more focused, easier to teach, while dyspraxics improved significantly in dexterity and balance, showing markedly less anxiety.
In The LCP Solution, Dr. 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. Illuminating, vividly presented, and authoritative in its findings, this book will revolutionize our approach to learning disabilities. LCPs are natural, simple to use, and amazing in their benefits. If you or someone you love suffers from a learning disability, this book is essential reading.

Format:Paperback
This book sets out in easily read and understandable language the advances made in the treatment of ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. Summarising nutritional research into these fields from the last 30 years, the authors have sifted out the relevant facts and present them to the reader in a way that cuts through the scientific jargon and makes it accessible to everyone. With these conditions affecting a growing number of children, this book offers hope and encouragement to parents and families struggling to cope with these disabilities. The only drawback is that some of the nutritional supplements mentioned are not readily available in the UK, although with the interest that this publication is bound to generate, it is only a matter of time before they become more widely available. This is essential reading and will become a bible for all those dealing with these conditions.

This book is essential reading for any parent who has a child with dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD. The information contained in the book is up to date, well researched study and easily read and understood by parents and professionals alike.
I appauld the work done by Dr. Stordy and many others mentioned in the book for bringing this vital information into the public arena. How I wish though that I had known about it 16 years ago when I had my 2 children very close together. From reading the chapters on pregnancy and breast feeding I understand now that perhaps my second child's problems are due to the fact that my body did not have time to replenish these essential fatty acids needed for good brain development in subsequent pregnancies. So I would also recomend this book to anyone considering or is already pregnant to ensure their diet is at optimum levels to aid development of their growing fetus.
Some of the testimonials from delighted parents contained in the book and the dramatic sounding title could sound too good to be true, but in fact I have seen exactly the same improvements in my children. I have had a copy of this book since it was published in the USA a couple of years ago and it has been passed round many friends who have also seen remarkable changes in their children.
Many parents whose children have learning problems often feel frustrated by the lack of help and support available. This book will help them to understand why these problems may have originated and then what to do about it. The list of further contacts and emails address's contained in the book is particulaly helpful.

This is an informative book with excellent research material which makes interesting reading. Having heard of Jacqueline Stordy and her work I looked on the web, bought her book and then put my son on Efalex ... the Fish Oil used in the trial and we have noticed a great improvement in our sons concentration and ability to stay on task. We also notice if he doesn't take it!!
I know a number of other parents who have dyslexic or ADD children who also swear by it.
Highly recommend this book if you are interested in understanding how nutrition can help / effect your child.
I have also added it to my list of books on my website for parents of dyslexic children www.dyslexichelp.org
