Since the brain is over 60% fat or, to use the correct biochemical term, lipids (Fatty Acids), lipids are especially crucial in newborn babies for proper brain development.

Each year, some 1.4 million babies are born or suffer from neurological underdevelopment that may be overcome, if aggressive nutritional is coupled with appropriate lipid testing and treatment.

Newly documented research on targeted lipid manipulation has shown that dietary changes can dramatically influence brain function positively.

It is important to note that lipids are only partially synthesized in the brain; most of them derive from the circulatory system. Nutritional factors dramatically influence many biochemical reactions in the central nervous system and directly involve the lipid supplies.

The fatty acid content of the brain is unique in that it contains large amounts of fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids: arachidonic acid (AA), omega 3, omega 6, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), linoleic acid (LA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), alpha linolenic (ALA), phospholipids (PL), to name a few. This profile is maintained in all species and the availability of these fatty acids is a basic factor in brain development. These are the fats we absolutely must have yet the body cannot make...hence the term "Essential Fatty Acid".

When extracted from plants like wheat and corn, the shelf life of these lipids is very short. The oils can turn rancid, if not refrigerated. Food producers defat, dehusk, and heat these oils to extreme temperatures to extend shelf life. The lipids are then rendered useless and/or harmful to brain development or maintenance.

To let you, the public, know that fats are not only good for you, but they are vital to your overall health is an immense job when the whole world is tuned into lowfat, no-fat, and fat-free diets.

The Kanes at Body Bio and Johns Hopkins Kennedy Krieger Institute's Peroxisomal Diseases Laboratory have put together a ground breaking fatty acid blood test report, a Lab report on the Red Cell Membranes, to enable physicians for the first time to view with ease the status of over 67 different fatty acid levels.

The report assists the doctor in balancing Essential Fatty Acids and in what to do to relieve a vast array of metabolic disturbances. Disturbances like allergies, arthritis, arterioschlerosis, diabetes, learning disorders, chronic fatigue, autism, depression, premature aging, MS, and anti-social behavior.

Dr. Kane has worked with 250 children with autism, all of whom share several factors: There is a deep disturbance in their fatty acid metabolism and often their electrolyte balance; their production of red and white blood cells is irregular; their mineral balance is sharply altered. All of these inefficiencies are seen in the Red Cell Fatty Acid Membrane Report & an accompanying blood chemistry.

With this blood chemistry study, one can accurately determine negative nutritional factors that have contributed to the appearance of autism and which need correcting. Autism is not an emotional problem, and parents continue to suffer from this stigma. Dr. Purcell, as well as Dr. Kane can provide detailed cases supporting the fatty acid metabolism imbalance in autistic children, which are corrected through nutritional intervention coupled with appropriate lipid testing and treatment.

THE CAUSES FOR MUCH OF A LEARNING DISABLED STUDENT'S DIFFICULTY ARE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND TREATABLE! In addition, Dr. Purcell has found that the protocols which help learning disabled children, teens, and adults can be coupled with additional tests and protocols to help children with ADD, ADHD, PDD, tic disorder, traumatic brain injury, suicidal/violent and anti-social behavior, multiple sclerosis, and even autism. While by no means "cures" for these disorders, essential fatty acid testing protocols, amino acid testing and supplementation, enzyme testing, heavy metal testing and detoxification, and the use if hyperbaric oxygen, implemented by knowledgeable health care professionals, have shown remarkable results in many cases. These may be early forms of protocols to alleviate these heretofore intractable disorders!
