Is anyone planning to watch the Horizon programme tonight? Just saw in the paper that its going to show a trial with fish oil on school children. They were taking eye q which has been recommended to me by a couple of mums from my son's class. I have been told he has concentration problems and can be disruptive and my doctor has recoemmended eye q but wanted to knwo if anyone had any experience of it?

Thanks

Keep persevering! I had to appeal and get a solicitor. Make sure you claim disability living allowance. Its stressful but worth it. My son is at a mainstream school and has a twenty four hour a week statement and is in the top set.

You could also look up Bad Science by Ben Goldacre on the Guardian website. He has a lot to say about dodgy fish oil trials and marketing.

Yes Mungarra I was just thinking the same thing. He is definitely worth reading regarding the Fish Oil trials in Durham schools.
