Omega 3 and the Dore Programme....


In response to a question about taking Omega 3 alongside the Dore Programme - we haven't checked out all of the brands. One of the brands we checked hadn't got a very appropriate mix of Omega 3 and Omega 6 so we avoid that. One that seems to work OK is "EyeQ" so if you wish to take that by all means do. We are actually quite positive about Omega 3 supplements although we are not sure if they really are necessary at all alongside the Dore Programme. All the research we have done to date has been using folk who are not taking Omega 3 - and the results have been outstanding.

If it was my child now - I'd put them through the Dore Programme and then start them on Omega 3 afterwards - but that's just a personal take based on my hunch.

43 Dore Centres around the world and growing fast!

Every day the question comes "When are you opening in ...................... ". It really hurts us that we are not able to be everywhere - because the need is everywhere. We are opening as many centres as we can around the world - at the last count it is over 40 with lots more planned for this next year. But we are not yet scratching the surface of the real need.

Not a day goes by without a parent contacting me saying "When can we open in Poland/Canada/Glasgow, etc.". On the one hand it is really nice that folk as so thrilled with what we are achieving that they want to help bring a Dore Centre to their own community to help all the others for whom the travel is impossible (we are now working hard on a plan to make it possible for us to work closer with all these parents that want to help bring a Dore Centre to their town - so if you are interested please drop me an email). On the other hand most of these enquiries up 'til now we have had to put on hold because the cost of equipment, the cost of training, etc., etc., is beyond the realms of possibility. If only Gordon Brown could work out what it would mean to the economy to provide the Dore Programme in every school this would no longer be an issue.

Dore Funding

In answer to a comment left on one of my previous posts - yes it is true that I am funding Dore out of my own pocket. That has been the case for several years - you can look at our accounts to confirm this if you wish.

It sounds as if I am winging! Actually I'm not - the thrill of helping, not just Susie, but many tens of thousands of others is "priceless".

Dore on BBC this weekend...

Dore in sport - right from the beginning countless parents have told us about how their child hasn't just improved in school work but there have been very noticeable improvements in sport.

Well, we are just about to take the lid of this - a very famous rugby club has gone public to the BBC about how they are now using the Dore Programme alongside their (already excellent) coaching. They found that players respond even better to coaching after they have experienced the Dore Programme - lots more things to come out so why don't you look at BBC Sport on Saturday morning at approxiamtely 8.30am.

It certainly will give teenagers a whole new exciting reason to do the Dore Programme!

Apologies....

Sorry about my lack of blogging recently - back to back travel to different countries around the globe have made it impossible.

I will try harder!
