Comment on We Have The Answer by Lisa S

Good summary! One comment I’ll add is that it may not just be a matter of quantity. The jury is still out, but one of the most dedicated researchers on this subject, Jack Samuels, believed that high heat or acid processing creates a stereoisomer of the FGA that is created in our bodies through digestion, and that it could be that stereoisomer that is the culprit. That theory would explain why we don’t react to bound proteins, but even tiny amounts of freed glutamate.

One other note — obvious to us but not to readers — all of the main artificial sweeteners act the same way as MSG and bind to the same receptors. So watch out for those too. You may want to add aspartame, acesulfame K (sp?) and sucralose to your list.

These three factors will greatly affect the price you’ll pay for a student desk for your home. As you consider the type of desk you want, in terms of material and style, you can get an idea of how the choices you make in these two areas will affect the cost.Student Desk successful this article.

Comment on What Dr. Lynn Hellerstein sees in your Child by Miriam

I learned pretty young to not trust my eyes for sports information. In order to hit the ball in Softball I swung based on the sound of the ball. The sound let me know how fast it was moving and where it was going to be located. Much more trustworthy than my sight. I play ping pong and other ball sports the same way. Eyesight was just for making sure I didn’t run into any large targets like other people. As I got older, I had to learn to trust my hearing even for large targets. My light sensitivity got so bad that I had a hard time seeing past the blinding white light (even in the moonlight with no other lights on). Irlen lenses helped remove that problem and my various reading problems due to my light sensitivity.

Hi John
I just discovered the sensory flow website last night and am already addicted!! Thanks for the great videos and advice for school based OT. Its tough when you only get 30 min a week with a kiddo, these tips and tricks will help and would be great to pass on to the teachers for the whole class to do, not just the kid who gets OT!!! Cant wait to go try some out!
Thanks!!

i would agree! homeschooling is a great option for those kiddos that dont fit inside the nice box that they like kiddos to fit in and gives more opportunity to make it work for them so they CAN meet their potentials

we love jammie days at home too. kiddos are still doing the ot, speech therapy and private therapy, one will start vision therapy as well. but we do it all on one day so all the other days we can just be at home hanging out without having to worry about running and going somewhere. it is NICE and way less stressful for all of us! the kids really enjoy that and do well with it. most days.
