This is because like vitamins, omega-3 fats have to come from our Only from the Asian Journal 619.474.0588 diets -- and although humans can in theory make some EPA and DHA from shorter-chain omega-3 (found in some vegetable oils), research has shown this conversion is not reliable, particularly for DHA, say the researchers. Blood samples were taken from 493 schoolchildren, aged between seven and nine years, from 74 mainstream schools in Oxfordshire. All of the children were thought to have below-average reading skills, based on national assessments at the age of seven or their teachers' cur- rent judgements. Analyses of their blood samples showed that, on average, just under two per cent of the children's total blood fatty acids were Omega-3 DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and 0.5 per cent were Omega-3 EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid), with a total of 2.45 per cent for these long-chain Omega-3 combined. This is below the minimum of 4 per cent recommended by leading scientists to maintain cardiovascular health in adults, with 8-12 per cent regarded as optimal for a healthy heart, the researchers reported. Co-author Professor Paul Montgom- ery said: 'From a sample of nearly 500 schoolchildren, we found that levels of Omega-3 fatty acids in the blood sig- nifi cantly predicted a child's behaviour and ability to learn. Higher levels of Omega-3 in the blood, and DHA in par- ticular, were associated with better read- ing and memory, as well as with fewer behaviour problems as rated by parents and teachers. These results are particu- larly noteworthy given that we had a restricted range of scores, especially with respect to blood DHA but also for reading ability, as around two-thirds of these children were still reading below their age-level when we assessed them. Although further research is needed, we think it is likely that these fi ndings could be applied generally to schoolchildren throughout the UK.' Co-author Dr Alex Richardson added: 'The longer term health implications of such low blood Omega-3 levels in children obviously can't be known. But this study suggests that many, if not most UK children, probably aren't get- ting enough of the long-chain Omega-3 (Continued on page 17) Page 16 Asian Journal - (619) 474-0588 Visit our website at http://www.asianjournalusa.com September 20-26, 2013 Only in the PHL!

Chang Hua:: I had terrible pain in my knee because of a bone spur rubbing against the joint. I often heard pieces of bones rattling when I shook my leg. I also had a bone spur on my nose and my lower back often hurt too. After the healing by Master Guan-Hai not only my knee was no longer in pain, my back felt so much better that I could touch the floor without any effort. The bone spur on my nose has miraculously disappeared such that surgery is no longer needed. This is indeed marvelous!

Mr. Zhao’s left leg suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis for about forty years. The only way he could walk was to drag his left leg around. During the healing session from the master, water came out from bottom of his left leg. The water dampened the carpet under his feet and his pants were soaking wet. However, immediately his legs felt much better after the healing. He can finally move his legs freely. He has no problem bending his knees now. With tears in his eyes, Mr. Zhao said “Bodhi Meditation has given me a second life”
