COPPER (Trace Mineral) Excessive copper in children is associated with hyperactive behavior, learning disorders such as dyslexia, ADD and infections such as ear. http://www.chemicalbalance.com/copper.htm	smadaynnep
Copper Toxicity Syndrome Mental and emotional disorders related to copper imbalance include spaciness, depression, mood swings, fears, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, violence, autism, schizophrenia, and attention deficit disorder. http://www.healingedge.net/briefs_copper_tox.html	smadaynnep
Double-blind, placebo-controlled study of zinc sulfate in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Zinc monotherapy was significantly superior to placebo in reducing symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity and impaired socialization in patients with ADHD. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=14687872&query_hl=5	smadaynnep
Serum zinc correlates with parent- and teacher- rated inattention in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. These findings add to accumulating evidence for a possible role of zinc in ADHD, even for middle-class Americans, and, for the first time, suggest a special relationship to inattentive symptoms. They do not establish either that zinc deficiency causes ADHD nor that ADHD should be treated with zinc. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16190794	smadaynnep
ZINC DEFICIENCY, METAL METABOLISM, AND BEHAVIOR DISORDERS The high incidence of zinc deficiency in assaultive young males was illustrated in a recent study1 which found elevated serum copper and depressed plasma zinc concentration, compared to normal controls. This study confirmed our clinical observations of zinc depletion in more than 4,000 behavior disordered patients. http://www.hriptc.org/zinc_deficiency.html	smadaynnep
Zinc 'helps hyperactive children' Doctors have found evidence to suggest that hyperactive children may benefit from taking zinc supplements. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3608439.stm	smadaynnep

Zinc in Endocrinology In this paper, the interrelationships between zinc and growth, gonadal function, thyroid function and glucose metabolism will be discussed. http://www.int-pediatrics.org/newip/volumes/16%2C2%2C3%2C4/16-3/review/kaji/zincinendo.htm	smadaynnep
Zinc sulfate as an adjunct to methylphenidate for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children This double-blind, placebo-controlled study demonstrated that zinc as a supplementary medication might be beneficial in the treatment of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1471-244X-4-9.pdf	smadaynnep
Zinc supplements improve adolescents' mental performance Dr. Penland and colleagues found that supplementation with 20 milligrams zinc per week led to greater memory and attention abilities than those demonstrated by children who did not receive zinc. Visual memory reaction time was lowered by 12 percent in those who received zinc compared to 6 percent in those who received no supplements. Word recognition and attention similarly improved in the group who received 20 milligrams. http://www.wholeearthhealth.com/articles/APR0405.asp	smadaynnep
