A 12-week open-label pilot study evaluated whether omega-3 fatty acids combined with Korean red ginseng could improve symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. The study included 40 children aged 6–12 years diagnosed with ADHD. Participants received a daily supplement containing 500 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (294 mg EPA and 206 mg DHA) and 3 mg of Korean red ginseng extract. During the study period, no psychotropic medications were allowed. ADHD symptoms were assessed using the ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) and Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale, along with neuropsychological tests measuring attention, memory, and executive function.

After 12 weeks of supplementation, children showed a significant reduction in ADHD symptoms, with ADHD-RS scores decreasing from 31.12 at baseline to 24.15, and CGI-S scores decreasing from 3.38 to 2.94. Improvements were also observed in several cognitive functions. Tests showed reduced attention errors, improved short-term and delayed memory, and better executive function performance. The supplement combination was well tolerated, with only one participant reporting a temporary headache. The researchers concluded that omega-3 combined with Korean red ginseng may help improve ADHD symptoms and cognitive function, although larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.

ACHES AND PAINS FORECAST: MARCH 5–11, 2026

Just a quick note up front: I’m a meteorologist, not a doctor. This is simply a weather-based awareness forecast based on patterns we often see with barometric pressure changes, temperature swings, wind, and humidity. Everyone reacts differently.

This forecast generally works for Sioux Falls, Mankato, and most of southern Minnesota, northwest Iowa, and eastern South Dakota, since barometric pressure changes affect a very large area.

Overall, this week is fairly manageable, but there are a couple periods where changing weather could make some people a little more uncomfortable.

ARTHRITIS AND GENERAL JOINT PAIN
Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 50s and even near 60 by Friday ahead of a fairly strong storm system moving through the region from Thursday night into Friday. That system will bring widespread rain and even the chance for a few strong to severe storms. Rapid changes in pressure, temperature, and humidity during that time can sometimes aggravate joints for some people. Another period to watch comes late Monday into Tuesday as pressure dips again ahead of the next system.

SINUS PRESSURE
Sinus issues may become more noticeable late this week as humidity increases ahead of the Thursday night and Friday system. Dew points climbing into the 40s and possibly near 50 combined with falling pressure can sometimes trigger sinus pressure or congestion.

MIGRAINES
For those sensitive to pressure changes, the main window to watch appears to be late Monday into Tuesday, when barometric pressure reaches its lowest point of the week before beginning to rise again.

FIBROMYALGIA
People with fibromyalgia often report increased symptoms when the weather changes quickly. The shifting conditions late this week with the approaching storm system and the pressure dip early next week could be the two periods when symptoms are a little more noticeable.

Again, this is not medical advice, just a weather-based awareness forecast based on patterns many people report over time. If you are sensitive to weather changes, it may help to plan a little extra rest during the periods where conditions are shifting more quickly.

ACHES AND PAINS FORECAST: WEEK OF FEBRUARY 22, 2026

Just a quick note up front: I’m a meteorologist, not a doctor. This is a weather based awareness forecast built around barometric pressure trends, temperature swings and humidity changes. Everyone reacts differently, but certain patterns tend to show up again and again.

Overall, this week features a sharp pressure drop early, a midweek stabilization, and then another noticeable swing heading into Friday before high pressure builds for the weekend.

Here’s how that may impact you:

ARTHRITIS AND GENERAL ACHES AND PAINS
The most concerning window looks to be late Monday into Tuesday. That’s when pressure drops quickly, temperatures are colder and the air is quite dry. That combination can be a trigger for many people with joint pain.

Midweek looks quieter as pressure levels off and the pattern steadies. By Friday, another pressure swing may bump discomfort back up a notch before things settle down again over the weekend as pressure rises and stabilizes.

SINUS PRESSURE
Sinus issues often flare not just with falling pressure, but with changes in humidity and rapid pressure swings in either direction.

Early in the week, the drop in pressure combined with colder air could increase sinus discomfort. Midweek looks somewhat better. Late Friday into Saturday, rising pressure and increasing moisture may trigger symptoms again for some people. Even though pressure is higher, that change itself can be enough to cause irritation.

MIGRAINES
Migraines are often tied to sudden pressure drops and shifts in temperature or humidity.

The early week drop into Tuesday stands out as the main trigger window. After that, midweek conditions are more stable, which may mean fewer weather related triggers. Late Friday’s pressure rebound could create another smaller window of concern for sensitive individuals.

FIBROMYALGIA
For those with fibromyalgia, rapid weather transitions can sometimes amplify fatigue and pain levels. The early week drop and the late week rebound are the two periods to be most aware of. The midweek stretch looks comparatively calmer from a weather standpoint.

This forecast is generally valid for Mankato, Sioux Falls and most of central and southern Minnesota, eastern South Dakota and northern Iowa. Pressure patterns cover a wide area and tend to be fairly similar across a large part of the Upper Midwest.

As always, this is not medical advice. It’s simply a heads up based on the weather trends we’re expecting. The weather doesn't really impact me much, so I need your input. If you notice your symptoms don’t match what the map suggests, feel free to let me know. Real world feedback is always helpful.

I have clients already feeling it today!

We have two options on our website Studelskachiro.com and on FB. NutriDyn and FullScript are available for your convenience to shop quality supplements with a discount. Ships directly to you!

Purchasing supplements from Amazon can be convenient — but there are real risks. 💥

1️⃣ Third-Party Sellers + Supply Chain Issues

Even when a product appears to be from a reputable brand, it may be sold by a third-party reseller, ❌not the manufacturer.❌

Risks include:
❌Improper storage (heat damages probiotics, omega-3s, peptides, enzymes)
❌Expired or near-expiration inventory
❌Tampered packaging
❌Counterfeit products

Amazon’s “commingled inventory” system can mix products from multiple sellers under one listing. That means even if you select a “trusted” seller, you may not receive their specific stock!!!!!

2️⃣ Counterfeit Supplements

❌Counterfeiting is a major issue in the supplement industry.
❌A 2023 investigation found counterfeit versions of popular supplements being sold under legitimate listings. Some products:
🛑Contained no active ingredients
🛑Contained incorrect dosages
🛑Included undisclosed fillers or contaminants

For supplements affecting:
➡️Hormones
➡️Immune function
➡️Neurotransmitters
➡️Inflammation markers (CRP, IL-6, TNF-α)

3️⃣ Temperature-Sensitive Products

❌❌Amazon warehouses are not climate-controlled specifically for supplement stability.❌❌

Heat-sensitive products at risk:

➡️Probiotics
➡️Fish oil (oxidation risk)
➡️Collagen peptides
➡️Liposomal glutathione
➡️Hormone-support formulas

Oxidized fish oil, for example, can increase oxidative stress rather than reduce it — the opposite of what you want in patients with inflammatory load.

4️⃣ No Professional Oversight

When patients self-order:

➡️They often choose based on price
➡️They don’t verify form (magnesium oxide vs glycinate)
➡️They may unknowingly duplicate ingredients
➡️They may purchase poor bioavailable forms

Micronutrient quality affects:

🌟Synovial fluid production (hello, healthy mobile joints!)
🌟Connective tissue repair
🌟Vagal tone
🌟Mitochondrial resilience (heyyyy energy and recovery)

Low-quality supplements = unpredictable physiology.

5️⃣ Testing + Certification Concerns

Reputable brands often use:
NSF certification
cGMP manufacturing
Third-party purity testing

But on Amazon, listings don’t always verify:

Batch-specific testing
Heavy metal screening
Allergen cross-contamination

And sometimes counterfeit products display fake certification logos.

6️⃣ Return Fraud + Re-Sealing
There have been reports of:

🛑Opened supplements being returned
🛑Bottles resealed and resold
🛑Capsules replaced

7️⃣ Clinical Outcome Variability

If you're working with:
➡️Menopausal connective tissue decline
➡️Mast cell activation
➡️ADHD neuroinflammation
➡️Histamine intolerance
➡️Autoimmune markers

🌟🌟🌟Consistency matters.🌟🌟🌟🌟

Why Many Practitioners Avoid Amazon:

Healthcare providers often prefer:
🌟Direct-to-practitioner companies
🌟Dispensary platforms (Fullscript, Wellevate, etc.)
🌟Direct manufacturer ordering

Because:
🌟Supply chain is controlled
🌟Storage standards are verified
🌟Batch tracking is available
🌟Clinical support is provided

Amazon prioritizes speed and scale — not supplement integrity.

This is why retail is extremely important to the Mitchell Community.

A majority of all essential services are funded from the General Fund, and an overwhelming percentage comes from retail.

Retail brings in more tax revenue than all property taxes combined!
