However, once you know what to look for, the task becomes a much easier one. Products for ADHD The most successful ones tend to be supplements and herbal and homeopathic remedies in particular. In fact diet is seen as the central point for treating ADHD, though I am sceptical of claims of ‘curing’ ADHD through the elimination of certain food as I think this gives parents false hope. I understand that in a few cases it has been successful, but that’s just a handful. However, it does make sense to try to reduce gluten (a protein from wheat) and casein (a protein from milk) and to try as have as healthier a diet as possible, keeping artificial flavours and colours to a minimum, One useful product for ADHD...

In particular, ADHD nutrition appears to be linked to a deficiency in essential fatty acids, or EFAs, and amino acids. Researchers first tied ADHD with lower essential fatty acid levels in 1981. Studies involving EFA blood levels in children with behavioral problems in 1983 confirmed this ADHD nutrition connection. Researchers in a 1987 study again documented the EFA deficiency tie to ADHD. Then in 1995, a study involving ADHD boys and boys without ADHD showed that the ADHD boys had significantly lower levels of Omega-3 fatty acids. ADHD nutrition studies by Purdue University researchers in 1996 found that boys with low blood levels of Omega-3 fat...

His column is also called “Bad Science,” and he recently gave a short and interesting talk about non-evidence-based medicine at the Pop!Tech conference held in Camden, Maine. Enjoy!

There are many reasons for this, including the complex regulatory framework within which pharma operates, and the potential size of penalties for failure to comply, as well as a difficult communications environment in which many pharmaceutical companies suffer from a lack of trust amongst both patients and healthcare professionals. When considering the kinds of emerging communications channels that have thrown healthcare engagement into disruption in recent years like the Internet, social media and mobile, many pharmaceutical companies are especially wary. Of course, pharmaceutical companies must be very careful about how they communicate. Every communication must pass...

Earlier this year Creation Healthcare was pleased to facilitate seminars in New York and London with leading global pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, during which the constraints and opportunities of global healthcare engagement strategy were discussed. Creation Healthcare are long-time proponents of setting aside time to define an overarching global strategy; we are therefore sometimes asked by new clients, “Do you really think we should have a global engagement strategy?” This is a great question, to which we (almost) always answer “Yes”. Some may say, “What about the local nuances?”; “What abo...

In fact, one definition of anxiety is ‘over-estimating the threat’ while ‘under-estimating the resources to cope with the threat’. I really like Salkovskis statement ‘People suffer from anxiety because they think situations as more dangerous than they really are’, and ‘Treatment helps the person to consider alternative, less threatening explanations of their problem’. These explanations have to fit with past experiences of the person – and work when they’re tested out. The process of ...

They closed all libraries that aftenoon to make sure all staff was abled to come. At least 45 of them were there! A great turn-up. One of my goals was to show them that we should just DO web 2.0 stuff. Library staff should have the opportunity to play with it, to learn. So I tried not to talk to much ... and just do some live demo's. I showed that a library toolbar could be made in 5 minute, turn it into a html box and widget, add rss-feeds.
