The LCP Solution: The Remarkable Nutritional Treatment for ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia

by B. Jacqueline Stordy, Malcolm J. Nicholl

This important new book documents a major breakthrough in the treatment of the three most widespread learning disabilities--ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia ("clumsy child syndrome"). Although these conditions have reached epidemic proportions, treatment has been limited to ineffective behavioral therapies or the controversial prescription drug Ritalin. Now Dr. B. Jacqueline Stordy, a leading researcher in the field, reveals a stunning new treatment based on a simple nutritional LCP (long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids). The LCP Solution is the first book to describe this new natural treatment and to explain how children (and adults) can incorporate it into their daily lives.

As a member of a family with a long history of dyslexia, Dr. Stordy discovered in a pioneering experiment that dyslexic and dyspraxic children who began taking a dietary supplement consisting of LCP experienced dramatic transformations in the quality of their lives. At the same time, parallel studies conducted at Purdue University came up with similar results with children who had ADHD. The effect of this dietary supplement was nothing short of after only a few weeks, dyslexic and ADHD children became calmer, more focused, easier to teach, while dyspraxics improved significantly in dexterity and balance, showing markedly less anxiety.

In The LCP Solution, Dr. Stordy documents how this life-changing treatment came about and explains step-by-step how sufferers of each of the three major conditions can use it to change their lives at home, at school, and at work. Illuminating, vividly presented, and authoritative in its findings, this book will revolutionize our approach to learning disabilities. LCPs are natural, simple to use, and amazing in their benefits. If you or someone you love suffers from a learning disability, this book is essential reading.

Absolutely amazing! Back in 2010 our son was struggling with speech delays and seeing a speech therapist. I heard about this protocol and tried it on my then 2 year old son. The fish oil helped his speech and executive functioning ten fold, and within about a week! Next time we saw his speech therapist we purposely didnt tell her we were giving our son fish oil and low and behold, she commented on how much better his speech (and engagement) was that week and asked us what we had done! Highly recommend this book if you can find it!

Bottom line-480mg DHA/day.

Worth a shot.

This is one book where I have truly learned how nutritionally deficient in a particular nutrient a person can become. Before reading this book, I had not even thought of whether my children were consuming enough Omega-3’s in their daily diet.

The LCP Solution gives an excellent history of how as humans we have deviated from the normal staple of food our species once had consumed. Past humans depended on the intake of fish, but today with fast food and so many other options, fish is not normally put on the dinner table daily. In my house, we are lucky if we have fish every other week.

Further chapters delve into the details of exactly why Omega-3 is necessary for our bodies and more specifically our mind. Deficiencies can not only produce skin disorders but also mind disorders, which are manageable through the supplementation of Omega-3’s back into our daily diet.

Real-life stores are included as well as relevant studies and research. The medical and homeopathic communities are beginning to fully embrace the topic. In fact, my son’s ADHD Pediatrician, as well as his regular Pediatrician both recommend Omega-3 supplementation.

Omega-3 supplementation has become a nutritional priority in my house because of The LCP Solution. And I am very happy to report that my 11 year old’s eczema has completely resolved, his language arts and reading skills have increased, and his ADHD has become manageable. I am not professing that you will have such miraculous results, but this book is definitely worth a read.

I was recommended this book because I have suspected that my 3 year old grandson may be ADHD. After reading this book, I now suspect that he is probably not, although I will, of course, be watching for symptoms. Despite not being directly relevant to my grandson's situation, I still found the information fascinating; especially the scientific facts about the various EFAs. I have been taking Omega3 supplements for some months now, as well as tuning my dietary fat choices.

This is probably one of the most complete, researched-based books I've read on understanding ADHD, dyspraxia, and dysgraphia from a nutritional perspective--and I've read many of them. The nutrition plan is doable.

Fascinating information about the possible root causes of ADHD and some interesting ways to combat it. If you know someone who struggles with this, I highly recco this.
