Do fatty acids work?

OK - so fatty acids are in the news again, do they work? Now if I was being commercial I would be playing down fatty acids - but I’m not, and the truth is they do seem to work for some people. You must also remember that they are much easier than doing an exercise programme. Popping a capsule in your mouth is far quicker and easier to find time for than spending five minutes doing exercises.

It’s all a question of what you have got time for and how important it is to help your child (or yourself even) to achieve your full potential. The nice thing about fatty acids is that many people do get some benefits - the nice thing about our programme is that virtually everyone who completes it gets very large benefits. When you are working with the potential of the brain, as we do, it is fun being very thorough with the process so that you know at the end of it you are pretty likely to be squeezing all of the potential possible.

There is a downside to fatty acids that is not often talked about - when you stop taking them you generally go back to being the way you were. At least that is what I was told by one of the leading researchers into fatty acids. She explained that her own son got great benefit for several years until he stopped taking them - he then gradually, over a period of months, went back to the way he used to be. That was disappointing.

By contrast the upside in what the Dore proramme does is that we do put the kind of wiring in that you create when you learn to ride your bike - having learnt you never need to learn again! In fact I probably didn’t ride a bike for at least 20 years and took the opportunity one day (something to do with steadily increasing waistlines!) and I discovered I jumped on the bike and the automatised process was just as good then as the last time I rode.

So take your choice - a quick fix that will do some good or 10 minutes twice a day for approximately one year with the likelihood of great benefits and lasting results. Many will choose to take fatty acids - and on a busy day I can see why.

Would you recommend taking Omega 3's along side doing the programme or not bother? We eat those eggs, eat the fish and drink that milk, can't do any harm I suppose.

Wynford,
I am anxious to what is the latest going on with Dore. I know you are so busy and I certainly appreciate all that you do. But I am excited to hear an update if you could give us one.
Happy to be part of this change in humanity!!
