Each child was given an individually designed vitamin and mineral supplement. Diets were also changed to reduce sugars and refined foods and toxic metals contamination. Cases were matched in pairs with 16 other cases on the program who were given no dietary changes but who received a one-a-day vitamin\/mineral capsule as part of standard procedure at the clinic. Over 22 weeks on the program, the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements than the control group in behaviour assessed at school, at home and in the clinic. The experimental group also made significantly greater gains in reading skills. Routine Stanford-Binet intelligence tests given at week 2 and week 20 or 21 showed increased IQ scores of 5 to 35 points (X = 17.9) for the experimental group. Increases for the control group were 0\u201321 points (X = 8.4). Results suggest that subtle nutritional variables exert a substantial influence on learning and behaviour.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/026010608400300205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,10]],"date-time":"2012-01-10T19:28:16Z","timestamp":1326223696000},"page":"69-77","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Do Nutrient Supplements and Dietary Changes Affect Learning and Emotional Reactions of Children with Learning Difficulties?: A Controlled Series of 16 Cases"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Colgan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Colgan Institute of Nutritional Science 2121 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 200 Carlsbad, California 92008, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lesley","family":"Colgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Colgan Institute of Nutritional Science 2121 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 200 Carlsbad, California 92008, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1984,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-026010608400300205","unstructured":"Canenon W.R., Wunderlich R.C. & Loop A.S.
