]]> Comment on Study shows major issues about ADHD drugs by Don K Potochny http://parentinprogress.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/study-shows-major-issues-about-adhd-drugs/#comment-21 Don K Potochny Fri, 10 Apr 2009 03:23:42 +0000 http://parentinprogress.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/study-shows-major-issues-about-adhd-drugs/#comment-21 Great points. Beyond your keen insight, nowhere does it say that any ADHD stimulant medication cures ADHD. There are so many alternative methods for managing the more onerous symptoms, a fact that is completely lost on them media and advocacy groups such as CHADD. While CHADD has toned down its virulent pro-medication propaganda, they still receive funding from these poison pushers. Parents needs to know this!! Prescribing Schedule II stimulant medications to a child for ADHD is not only absurd, it also borders on criminal negligence. a child's brain is far from reaching maturation, and the chemical poisons will permanently alter the brains composition.

Prescribing Schedule II stimulant medications to a child for ADHD is not only absurd, it also borders on criminal negligence. a child’s brain is far from reaching maturation, and the chemical poisons will permanently alter the brains composition.

I agree with you totally. On another aspect, my take is that <a href="http://www.mmpp.com.sg/child-development.html" rel="nofollow"> child development</a> during the early stages is extremely important and no parent should ever forget that.

]]> Comment on Dyslexia research show brain before & after cognitive skills training by John Hayes http://parentinprogress.wordpress.com/2008/12/22/dyslexia-research-show-brain-before-after-cognitive-skills-training/#comment-6 John Hayes Thu, 25 Dec 2008 06:35:18 +0000 http://parentinprogress.wordpress.com/?p=35#comment-6 I believe you misunderstood what the study showed. To be positive about it it said that dyslexics with 100 hours of extra phonological instruction showed some different brain images that were in the direction of being more similar to non dyslexics. It didn't give any indication about how much their reading improved and I would expect that 100 hours of ANY instruction should show some improvement anyway. Reading carefully, the study HOPES to one day be able to identify dyslexics by MRI. The example of why some minority of dyslexics must have visual problems is very very poor. Since deaf people can be dyslexic and can't have phonological problems because they are deaf and can't hear they must have visual problems causing their dyslexia. LOL . Poorly reasoned and just focused on one aspect of dyslexia as being the cause of dyslexia. About 10 % of dyslexics have visual dyslexia and can describe specific visual problems that make reading difficult. That's why we know some dyslexics have visual dyslexia not because some deaf people are dyslexic. Santa's coming gotta go. I believe you misunderstood what the study showed.
