"Our son has ADD. I describe ADD like this:
When the body's nervous system can't keep up with the brain
it fries...shuts down and tunes out.
We were fortunate enough to find help for our son at a wonderful clinic in Hudson, WI
Called:
Special Children Center
1810 Crestview Suite #5
Hudson, WI 54016
(715) 385-6660
Occupational Therapy * Hydro Therapy
Physical Therapy * Speech Therapy
Auditory Integration Training
Our son was treated with this therapy four years ago and it was magical..."
The therapy is called SENSORY INTEGRATION
...it connects the brain to the body's nervous system. One part of this therapy specializes in hearing.
It is called AUDITORY INTEGRATION.
It remedies auditory distractions and helps keep a hearing focus (when listening to outside stimulus is needed) One method or treatment is to put the child into a hammock and swing the hammock for thirty minutes each day...every day for two weeks!!
This swinging motion while hearing the music integrates all sound levels into the body's nervous system. When the therapy is finished...the child does not use any headphones for anything at all for one entire year. This allows the therapy to integrate into the body in a gradual and permanent manner on a daily basis. In other words, using headphones too soon after this therapy can undo the therapy as much as waiting a year helps the therapy to work.
A sensory therapist at the clinic taught us about body brushing..the child's body is brushed three times a day with a corn silk remover brush...arms, legs and back only. We have continuted to do this brushing technique three times a day since his treatment four years ago.
This stimulates a grounding connection between the brain and entire nervous system.
One book that describes this field of treatment for parents and nonmedical individuals is called:
The Out-of-Sync Child (Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Integration Dysfunction)
by Carol Stock Kranowitz, M.A..
On the cover, the book is clearly endorsed by T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., one of the most famous and known pediatricians in the world.
Publishing information: A Perigee Book
Published by The Berkley Publishing Group
A division of Penguin Putnam, Inc.

We have bought and provided copies of this book for our son's teachers. And we suggest specific pages for them to read in order to get a taste of this approach rather than intruding on them to just read the entire work from cover to cover. Informed teachers that appreciate what they are reading will then read the entire publication.
Not only does this help them with our child..it helps explain the problems of many other children that they are teaching as well... In fact, we always hear back from these teachers that our child is mild compared to many others. This is a testament as to how well we are doing while many children are getting no sensory therapies at all.
Most parents and teachers don't even know that sensory integration even exists. They use verbal commands, consequences, and punishments to compensate for behavior. This is very cruel. Using discipline to compensate for needed therapy and putting blame and guilt trips on children for behavior that is often out of their control.
For example, if a child's nervous system gets distracted and fried from outside sounds, then just telling the child over and over again to pay attention is of no use.whatsoever...Vibredo
No food coloring is healthy...Hyperactive children should never be exposed to it.

Artificial sweeteners and the damage they cause:

Protect agains E-Coli! Wash your hands in hot soapy water before and after
food preparation. Also, thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables. Leafy stuff
needs several changes of water until no dirt is visible. If you're extra
careful, a vinegar/water solution isn't a bad idea. Even bagged greens
need washing. And I scrub all melons with a little hot soapy water before I cut into them. Anything that grows in and on the ground could carry E-Coli easily.
Flea Control: Alternatives to Chemicals
Flea Problems?
If you're having the carpets cleaned anyway, or the flea
infestation is totally out of control, there is an
anti-flea mineral salt treatment for your carpets that can
be professionally applied. The recommended manufacturers
are Fleabusters and Radar Rex. The mineral salt treatment
should be effective for up to a year.
Amorphous diatomaceous earth can be sprinkled around
baseboards, under furniture, in cracks, and areas you can't
reach with the vacuum cleaner. It is messy to use, but is
effective and kills the fleas by causing them to dehydrate.
Do not use the glassified type used in swimming pool
filters. There is also a borax-based product available.

Burn Mugwort to stimulate accupupressure points
Hot ginger packs are good for extracting
great on the sinuses or on the abdomen
especially someone with menstrual cramps or edomitriosis
Ginger extracts, pulls things out and loosens things up
(Incredible for sinus infections)
Directions for Hot Ginger packs:
Grate
a couple of ginger roots put in pan with water and boil 20 mins
then strain ginger out
(wear rubber gloves)
it's good to have someone else do this for you
you lie down and let them do it
put some small towels into the ginger water.
then wring it out and put it on you where you want it
then dip the other towel
keep exchanging them for about 20 mins.
trying to keep the towels as hot as you can stand it.
it will break up a sinus infection in a short amount of time.
yes.... you may get red
just don't burn yourself.
If it's too hot put a thin towel on your skin
It's great for the chest if you have congestion as well.
I love it ...it is so soothing and relaxing
Emphysema? ginger paks every day until improved.
It's good to drink Ginger tea internally too at the same time
If you are without a whetstone to sharpen your cooking knife, rub it
across the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup. Works wonders, but don't
try this with your bread knife, it'll get ruined.
'Movin On"
The past is over--move on! Learn from your past and know
that today is a new day. With each new day come new
opportunities. And it is the "here and now" that really
matters.
You cannot take back or relive the past--it is gone. You
can only live in this moment, right now. Why dwell on the
past when you have a life to live?

DR. GALLAND'S INTEGRATED MEDICINE
In the column "Foods that Heal" Leo Galland, M.D. discusses
detoxifying foods which protect against the effects of
environmental pollution, free-radical induced cell damage
and cancer through dietary anti-oxidants. Foods that are
richest in these anti-oxidants are red, yellow and green
vegetables, uncooked nuts and seeds (like almonds and
sunflower seeds), and fish. He also outlines the important
infection-fighting foods such as garlic, ginger, onions, and
tumeric, as well as vegetables containing a high
concentration of a group of natural chemicals called
saponins, which have immune-stimulating and antibiotic
effects--soybeans, chickpeas, bean sprouts, asparagus,
tomatoes, potatoes and oats.

To saute with the flavor of butter and the heat necessary to produce a
nice browning effect, use a combination of 1/2 butter and 1/2 oil.
The butter will not burn and the oil will contribute exactly as much
or as little flavor as you desire. Peanut oil will give a very slight
nuance, while affording the capability for the highest heat. Corn oil
is almost flavorless and will allow you to saute using high heat.
Olive oil will add flavor (don't use extra virgin for sauteing or
frying - virgin or just plain olive oil is fine) and still keep the
butter from burning. You can use a slightly higher ratio of either
butter or oil if you remember that the higher the heat, the greater
ratio of oil to butter is needed.
For ingrown toe nail...I just read an article about using Hawthorne and place it on a nail bed
Somatic Massage
Hi Kesti,
I checked out your new pages and they are great! Iam a massage therapist, and I know when a person needs somatic massage, when they have little or no range of motion, and they are stiff and there is no way a massage, even deep tissue will loosen those tight muscles. So I save myself, and start their journey to connecting themselves to their (soma"s) or bodies. Through sensory motor awareness. I use pandiculation, which makes the muscle work connecting the golgi loop to the sensory part of the brain, it takes it to a higher level called the alpha, where the looseness occurs. The muscle is longer with greater tonus in it. Iam still awed at the benefits of Somatic massage. It is a foolproof method. Tight Muscles disappear before my eyes and under my hands. I have the client move with creative movements as I massage the shoulder, rhomboids, and pectorials, after Ive done the pandiculation. Iam amazed to see such a difference. I dont try to explain it, as I let my clients observe what they feel afterwards. Isee shoulders come down, necks get longer, legs get longer, arms get longer.
I pandiculate, with resistance when they are moving. I LOVE this new Method!!!!!!!!! I use it all the time in my practice. Iam certified and was taught by the guy who invented the somatic massage Richard Jordan. He is using Thomas Hanna"s Somatic concepts. I give my clients some somatic excersises to do, to keep themselves supple and soft. What I Love is to assist people out of Pain!!! And Somatic Massage is one way to do it. By them moving and becoming aware of their muscles, with their brain and not a habituated movement, without thinking. Have a wonderful Valentines Day, Iam offering specials at my Spa and got booked for the next three days.........I serve wheatgrass juice and fresh organic juices.......Wish you could come.... Love Linda
When I was a kid my mom used to put cloves out to keep the ants away....

Flea Control: Homemade Trap
Fill a shallow container, such
as a glass pie pan, halfway full of water and add a couple
of drops of dish soap. Set the container on the floor and
place a light directly over it. A small gooseneck lamp or
Tensor-type reading light is perfect. The bulb should be
fairly low wattage. You don't want to heat the area too far
beyond the water.
On 8/10 Teri's neurologist gave her a
bottle of MORINDA TAHITIAN NONI Juice to try to reduce
or get rid of some of her MS symptoms that all the drugs
he had perscribed for her did not even touch. Within 24 hours
her symptoms had subsided. When I read the book about
what it was and what it does, I decided to take it as
well. I have arthritis and am in a wheelchair and within one
week I could stand up straight, I was
flexible instead of stiff and for the first time in
almost 40 years I was without pain. I was truly amazed!!!
It is a juice that is grown in Tahiti and has been used there
for over 2000 years.
It is just a juice that can be given to babies and animals as
well.
