ADHD

I was one of the first people Dr. John Cantanzaro added to his new group, which appears to have been created on May 3, 2016.  As of my creating this topic on Memorial Day 2016, the end of May, there are 2,849 other people, or profiles I should say, in the group.  I'm going to take this topic in a direction of revealing how I go about 'looking into someone'.  

Naturally, there's their website.  This is what is said at his:   read more »

Please open your minds about what 'autism' is if you've found this topic.  While this topic overall is about a brand new book focusing on children and the various symptoms and behaviors that end up being classified as "autism", creating this topic at this point in time in my process of unfolding information I relate at Lumigrate has to ultimately focus also about "the stuff" that is rampant in all of us.  read more »

For those who have an interest in the brain/food connection, I thought I'd share the link for this article in Natural News which someone on Facebook shared today.  I like to grab "selective" valid, progressive sources and encourage people reading around in Lumigrate to follow them, thereby streamlining their overall health information process by coming to or through Lumigrate.  Many websites don't encourage their users to go out and about from their website but we do!  We know you'll come back!  read more »

Lynn Hellerstein had posted a link to a very nice overview piece about vision and different conditions identified as special needs, learning disability, head injury, etc.  The link is: www.pediastaff.com/blog/special-article-oculo-visual-problems-of-patients-with-special-needs-5368  read more »
