Biological Aspects of Violence Prevention provides an explanation of the underlying problem for perpetrators of violence. This presentation describes the situation, as it was known in 2003.

I would like to draw attention of all those who have contact with or aware of the potential for violence in someone they care about, to the most recent research with confirms the previous understanding.

Omega-3 status and cerebrospinal fluid corticotrophin releasing hormone in perpetrators of domestic violence Confirms deficiency levels of DHA are present in the perpetrators of violence and In humans, the seasonal variation in poly-unsaturated fatty acids is related to the seasonal variation in violent suicide and serotonergic markers of violent suicide.shows that this effect is seasonal and the violence is in other people often turned on themselves.

The uptake omega into your body is regulated by the amount of Vitamin D circulating so a deficiency of Vitamin d leads to a deficiency of Omega 3. This explains the seasonal variation in Omega levels and consequent seasonality in episodes of violence.

For UK readers the cheapest, strongest source of Omega3 is OMEGA JUICE however an adult male could benefit from 4 portions of oily fish weekly. Currently many people eat no oily fish so the average consumption is one portion every 4 weeks. How can I get more omega 3 fatty acids in my daily meals? see here.

In the UK The cheapest source of Vitamin D3 Cholecalciferol, the preferred oral form, the compound your skin makes naturally when you go in the sun is available from Healthydirect and those used tocashback sites will know that going through QUIDCO may eventually net you a further 20% discount. For those who are taking multivitamins they should be aware that this form is more potent and perhaps even safer than the synthetic analog, ergocalciferol, which is the only form used in mixed formulations such as multimineral & vitamins or Calcium and vitamin d. Cholecalciferol is 1.7 time more efficient at raising 25(OH)D levels than is ergocalciferol.

We use about 4000iu of cholecalciferol every day. If we translated this to pounds and you reduced you bank balance by £4000 daily and only imput £400 you would soon be in deficit. So without the imput from natural sunlight Check here those folk without access to a FACIAL SOLARIUM or other sunlamp may think it sensible to increase the amount they consume to nearer their daily expenditure.

There is evidence that Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), an essential omega 3 fatty acid, may protect against disorders of emotional regulation more effectively if Folate levels are also high however persuading violent young men not only to eat oily fish but also their greens may not be very productive but maybe there is the use of supplements to provide an alternative.

There is mounting evidence that low levels of some polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play a role in the pathophysiology of depressive and aggressive disorders, including homicides. and that this impacts on the ability of those with addictive disorders to manage successful rehabilitation without relapse.

Hello Ted. I'm taking fish oil capsules for my eyes, which have improved greatly. I got this damned dry eye syndrome which a lot of people get as they get older, and there is no treatment: it means not only dry eyes, and a feeling as though you had grains of sand in them, which causes constant rubbing to no avail.

I hear that word is getting round and lots of ADHD kids are benefitting from high doses of fish oils.

Comon Ted it's this countries abuse of cocaine, and other illegal drugs, and the offspring of those who use them.

some research indicates fish oil also helps with bipolar symptoms

You may not be aware that "trans fat" displaces DHA from it's position in the brain. So instead of brain cells which communicate swiftly and efficiently with one another you end up with cells that are physically unable to communicate. This disrupts your ability to think clearly and sensibly with emotional maturity. Trans fat is as much use to your brain as a dead pixel is to your monitor. It's as helpful as a dead sector on your hard drive.

If you allow your fast food and ready meal industry to use the cheapest ingredients then you must face the consequences of this neglect in terms of prison population and a climate of violence. Increase the omega 3 and vitamin/mineral content of prison/young offenders food and you see an immediate reduction in the number of violent incidents.

There is hardly a day in the year in the USA when vitamin d isn't available free from natural sunshine. You can check this out on this Vitamin d Duration calculator Yet if you test the vitamin d status of young women, particularly blacks, you will find that most are below the ideal level. Lower vitamin d status in younger pregnant women results in smaller babies with smaller, less mature brains and babies with smaller less mature brains can have more problems during adolescence. If you want smarter more intellectually precocious children you need to ensure both the vitamin d and DHA status of your prospective mothers is as high as possible.

You won't achieve this with a RDA of 10% less than the bodies needs.

You won't achieve this while you allow the disease mongering pharmaceutical industry to portray natural sunlight as an evil cancer producing danger when it actually prevents far more cancers than caused by over exposure and the resulting sunburn.

I'm not for one moment suggesting that those who commit violence are not responsible for their own actions. But in order to understand why they get to that position you have to be aware of all the circumstances. One of the underlying reason for depression and feeling bad about yourself comes from your health status and ensuring you eat sufficient omega 3 and get regular exposure to health giving sunshine, without sunscreen, cosmetics, clothes will do more to increase your ability to deal with stress, than any amount of anti-depressants or other non prescription drugs.

It is no good simply blaming the parents, or blaming the abusers or blaming the criminals. We have to understand what gets them to that situation and the research supporting my claims is there. If you want a better less violent society you must ensure your population, particularly the most deprived sectors, get cheap access to healthy foods and good advice. While your FDA is influenced and controlled mainly by the pharmaceutical industry you will suffer the consequences of an unprincipled capitalist society which puts profit before the needs of society.

My chiropractor believes that therapeutic doses of Omega oils reduces inflammation and eases the pain of arthritis. I've been taking 4 pills per day and think it just might be helping!

Ted excatly where are you getting this info ?

i'm not ted, but you simply need to click on the links within the post to get the source of the info.

The link I choose isn't usually the only source of evidence but as this is a discussion forum rather than a scientific debate I feel it's too time consuming to provide all the possible relevant links.

I've been taking 4 pills per day and think it just might be helping!If you click this link you will see that omega-3 fatty acids (3 g/d) and 9.6 mL of olive oil. in combination showed a more precocious and accentuated improvement.

If the 4 pills you are currently taking are fine then carry on, but the ordinary 1000mg fish oil capsules contain only about 0.3g of omega 3 so in total you are taking roughly 1g of omega3, just a third of the amount used in this research. In the UK we can buy liquid omega 3 in a bottle, this provides 1.5g of omega 3 in a teaspoon so 2 tsps of this and 2 tsps of olive oil would match the amount found in this research to provide the best results. There is probably a similar product in the USA. Do keep it in the fridge once open as fish oil can go rancid if it warms up. Taking it before you eat helps with the burps that some people experience.

It helps to keep it in the freezer, actually.

Could I still pour it out into a teaspoon?

Would it taste better ice cold?

I can see I'm going to have to experiment.

I have no "evidence" to say what they did to help me-but I know the difference they made and still make...

I wont stop taking them ever :-6

BTW..My newphew had ADHD and he takes the fish oils too..a lot better


I suggest you should not take anything in "Large Quantities" try SAMe works great for depression. ( The e is not captialized)

Nevim wrote: I suggest you should not take anything in "Large Quantities" try SAMe works great for depression. ( The e is not captialized) A lot depends on what you mean by a lot.

Omega 3 is quite safe to take, it's mainly just a waste of money taking more than is effective. The main problem with omega 3 is that most people think one or two capsules a day is sufficient. The don't realise that a 1000mg capsule only contains a third of a gram of omega3. The need to take three of these to get one gram and for some 3g or nine 1000mg capsules is an "effective" amount.

Similarly with vitamin d3. Officially the Recommended daily allowance is 400iu.

Anyone who has read the latest research will know that 4000iu is the amount that the body needs/uses every day.

If you lie naked in the sun for 10 minutes or so your skin will make 12000iu.

An effective amount starts at about 1500iu will see vitamin d status rise 2000iu a day is better for most and 4000iu is an appropriate effective amount for pregnant ladies or people who are depressed.

These aren't large amounts compared to the actual level at which there may be side effects. These start at 10000iu daily if you continue that rate for more than a year. There is actually no need for anyone to take more than 5000iu for more than six months as those in latitudes above 50degrees can obtain vitamin d from the sun during the summer.

The amounts the research says are necessary are only large in relation to the current Ridiculous Daily Allowance. Compared with the amount your own skin would make in a full days sunbathing they are very small.

Taking insufficient of a supplement is simply a waste of money as unless it raises your status by an effective amount it's fairly pointless. Anyone with any concerns about toxicity should check out the info here at the Vitamin D council

Hamster wrote: Thanks Nevim for your post..but I have found the right products and dosage for me...I honestly believe it was an Omega 3/6 inbalance that caused my depression (over many years I may add).

I would not change what I am doing..and I don't think any of you good folks here at FG would like it either :wah:

Thank you for your concern :-4


Then may I suggest that you do some research on SAMe. :-6
