The information is what it is. As I've stated before you do what you

think is best for your child.

You cannot count on the FDA. If you recall the FDA approved many

stents, pacemakers, mental health drugs, breast implants, etc which

caused hundreds of deaths in some cases. The mental health drugs

caused a lot of teen suicides and are now off the market. The eye

drops most recently were recalled due to causing eye fungus.

And we all know that the FDA does not do testing for all drugs that

are perscribed for children.

In fact the FDA does not regulate herbs or any other dietary

" natural " supplements. It's extremely difficult to get these private

companies to shut down. Look at the herbal supplement that they put

in diet drugs that killed so many people?

And how many times do we hear in the news that these companies have

been shut down due to false products or bad products. A lot you are

not guaranteed anything.

These oils can cause bleeding or other serious problems in some

people. For others it's a miracle supplement.

If a child has a nose bleed the parent will stop giving the child

fish oil or flax seed. How many do you think will report this to

their doctor? It's highly unlikely until they become educated and/or

more research is posted, then the parents start reporting. Otherwise

it goes unreported. And how many parents will perform an autopsy on

their child with ADHD, epilipsy, or even autism if they died.

As I've stated before. If you want to give. More power to you. A few

parents wanted information, I gave now it's up to them to consult

with their own doctors and to do their own research. This should not

have become a heated debate nor should I have received insulting emails.

You do as you see fit as a parent. As I've stated before it's up to

YOU as a parent to do your own research and to make up your own mind.

It's not on me.

Have a good day!
