Misbehaving, wild and disobedient children and older people too!

Ever so frequently in newspapers and general media there are repeated stories of vandalism, rape and murder. We read of truancy of the young from school or being expelled because of behaviour problems. Additionally children are being forced medicated with anti-psychotics because of wild and exuberant behaviour often termed attention deficit disorder, and/or associated with hyperactivity.

From the outside this parlous state of affairs is disruptive of society and disconcerting to say the least. Such miscreant behaviour most often results in legal processes being brought to bear on families and often a great amount of grief, if not shame for the family involved.

But what of the person – what does the individual feel in all this? Sometimes one can look at a child as see the ‘devil’ in them, but this is only the expression of inner turmoil the young is experiencing. Reprimands in various forms, harsh punishments or punitive measures, threats and other ways will only make the matter worse. It alienates and drives the problem deeper into the soul.

Nutrition as a causal factor
The treatment is simple. Why? Because everyone is inherently good and all one has to do is to appeal to the goodness in the person. For this to work the body must be properly nourished. Time and again it has been shown that nutritional deficiencies give rise to unsociable behaviour. “Nutrition as a causal factor in antisocial behaviour is so simple it's been overlooked,” is stated in a report in the British Journal of Psychiatry. [‘Fighting Crime with Nutrition,’ March 2003]

Experiments have been conducted in the confines of prison and have shown that the supplementation to the diet of basic vitamin and mineral supplements have changed the mental and emotional outlook and hence behaviour of the inmates.

Another key ingredient is often overlooked in its ability to heal our diseases of body and mind. This food constituent has improved the academic ability of children and calmed those who have been classed as hyperactive and disruptive. It is possible to change children’s and adult’s behaviour for the good by the addition of this substance in the diet. It also heals the body of those all too numerous diseases which fill hospitals.

The substance is now known to the world as Omega 3 essential fatty acid – particularly flax seeds and flax seed oil. It all started with one Dr Johanna Budwig [1908 – 2003]. It was she who developed the method of detecting fats in the blood and so from her work all the knowledge of fats and their role in the body has been established.

Essential fatty acids (EFA) is the necessary vehicle of delivering oxygen into the body’s cells. This gives us vitality and energy. Diseases arise in the body when there is insufficiency of oxygen. Additionally the brain needs more oxygen than any other organ in the body. Studies have linked low levels of omega-3 essential fatty acids to higher rates of depression, bipolar disorder and suicide.

Children, behaviour and educational achievements
Budwig in her book Flax Oil as true aid against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer and other diseases states the following: “A lack of highly unsaturated fats is particularly noticeable in connection with brain and nerve functioning… In general I recommend the whole family adjust their food intake so that they use optimal, natural fats….As for children whose scholastic performance is often below standard – and it is usually in families where the parents don’t eat correctly – the results of optimal fat intake show themselves in school marks being bettered by not only one, but two levels.”

“….Children are reaching physical maturity ever earlier and this is beginning to give rise to anxiety. Criminality and other social problems have been connected to this factor…. Not all moral problems can be solved by eating fats and oils – but I assure you that the effects on our society of a normalisation of fats in our nutrition are tremendous.”

Emotional and rebellious behaviour is treatable without the need for the restraint of law or confined discipline. As an example, I came across an author who noted that kleptomania (the desire to steal) is really a disease and treatable with homoeopathy! There are no less than 15 remedies which address this disease, he stated.
