Recently, the Centers for Disease Control stated that 1 in 150 children in the U.S. may be diagnosed as autistic.  This serious impairment to neurodevelopment not only leaves families emotionally exhausted and economically devastated, it puts an enormous burden on the country as a whole, since many of these children will require lifelong public support.

While the reason more than half a million American children are affected is still being debated, it is clear that fatty acid interactions in brain cells influences the condition.  Research shows that autistic children have less omega-3 (or a distorted omega-3 to omega-6 balance) in their cells than normal.  In many cases supplementing with appropriate dosages of omega-3 reduces or normalizes such pathological behavior as social withdrawal and hyperactivity.  Although omega-3 supplementation is not a cure for autism, it can be an effective aid in helping these children.

However, one problem remains.  Autistic children often have peculiar food preferences; dreading pills, or rejecting anything that tastes of fish.  Often, parents are skeptical about giving children oils with strong flavors or artificial additives.  And, most fish oils on the market when given in adequate dosages, cause patients to exude a fishy aroma.

The beauty of Omega Cure™ is that it is an ultra fresh, natural fish oil which is nearly odorless and tasteless, and can be added to a wide range of foods without altering their taste or smell.  Parents are discovering that giving effective daily dosages of full spectrum omega-3 is easy.  Two or three teaspoons of Omega Cure™ can even be given daily to 5 and 6 year olds.  This opens the door to promising research and new hopes.
