The ADHD-Food Connection
I have lived with ADHD my whole life. I am fortunate (or cursed, depending on how you look at it) that my hyperactivity isn’t physical. This allowed me to not stand out too much in class rooms as the kid who couldn’t sit still. Actually, it was the exact opposite! I barely moved! All the hyperness was in my mind not my body. I was not diagnosed until after I flunked out of Ball State University. After the diagnosis, I went to Indiana Business College and obtained an associated degree in Executive Secretarial Management (now called administrative assistant). Somehow, I was able to graduate
with honors from IBC without the help of medications.
In order to flash forward several years, I will be brief. After graduating from IBC I began to work at an Animal Hospital. I loved it! I achieved a Certificate for Professional Grooming, a Certificate in Veterinary Technician Medicine and a Certificate in Canine Behavioral Management (fancy wording for dog trainer). I accomplished these certificates quickly, receiving high grades and with minimal effort on my part.
Does President Obama trust us? He would if he knew the facts
I’m beginning to think President Obama doesn’t trust the American people.
First, he said that the bankers were immoral, can’t be trusted, and will do anything to steal from the American people.
Then, he said that Doctors and other healthcare professionals are immoral, can’t be trusted, and will do anything to charge too much and perform tests that are unnecessary in order to steal from the American people.
Now, he says that Police Officers are immoral, can’t be trusted and will racially profile at will and arrest and bully people for no reason in order for them to meet their quota and steal from the Illegal Immigrants in America.
Let us also not forget that he said the military was full of uneducated people, the oil industry is evil and most manufacturing is horrible.
Is there any profession that Obama does like? Oh, wait. He does support lawyers and politicians.
IN THE WOMB (Part 1)
The National Geographic Series, “In The Womb” is now available on Youtube. I’ll be posting each of the nine parts over the next week and a half. Nothing does more to show the humanity of the unborn, than ultrasound images. Join me on this journey and see for yourself that life BEGINS, “In The Womb”.
Who will stand up for the disabled?
As I was reading this story all I could think is why are they thinking this is such a horrible thing? We say they are just a choice, right? We say it is okay for a woman to abort a wanted pregnancy because she finds out her child isn’t perfect. So, why is using them for biological weapons so shocking? It’s just the next natural step for the circular slippery slope, isn’t it? Or perhaps once
people realize these people deserve a chance to live based on this emotionally charged story we will start climbing up that slope instead of continuing the decline. One can only hope.
But among the accounts (from military soldiers that escaped N. Korea) they carried with them is one of the most shocking yet to emerge — namely the use of humans, specifically mentally or physically handicapped children, to test North Korea’s biological and chemical weapons.
The truth about the uninsured
I saw these statistics this morning on the Fox News program Fox and Friends and have spent most of the morning verifying their numbers. I verified this information at the National Center for Policy Analysis(NCPA), Business and Media Institute, The Census Bureau, Employment Policies Institute, and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
Whew. 
So here it is:
We hear it all the time, that there are approximately 47 Million people uninsured. This number is true, but extremely misleading. The problem is they don’t tell you what qualifies as an uninsured person. The CBO report has the definition of uninsured as “uninsured at some point in time”. This is how long a person actually goes without insurance. If a person switches jobs and there is a 1 week gap between the Cobra insurance ending and the new jobs insurance beginning, that counts as one of the millions of uninsured.
All must provide Abortions
It appears that some hospital are forgetting their federal laws. Ending a resolution wrote by GW Bush does not change federal law and these hospitals are about to get a lesson in this.
First – the laws. Title 42 Chapter 6A Subchapter VIII section 300a-7 and Title 42 Chapter 6A Subchapter I Part b section238n are just two of the federal statues that prohibit discrimination against healthcare workers if they refuse to participate in an abortion or any other procedure that violates their religious practices.
Second – the story:
Catherina Cenzon-DeCarlo, a nurse at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, was instructed to assist in a late second-trimester abortion for a woman 22 weeks into her pregnancy. The hospital had known of the nurse’s religious objections to abortion since she was hired in 2004.
Another lie is not hope and change
There was a young man from Chicago
Whose politics were a lot like the lotto
He pushes the bills through
Which helps just a few
and “I didn’t read it” is his Motto
Let me give you two recent quotes from President Obama:
“If you have health insurance, and you like it, and you have a doctor that you like, then you can keep it. Period.’"
Yet, here is his response to the question – "Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?"
"You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about."
And guess what? He said both of these statements during a conference call he had with left leaning bloggers! The same interview on the same day.
Private Insurance is a hit
Did you know that many people are actually happy with their Private Health Insurance? Who would have known this since the White house keeps saying we are in a “health care crisis”?
Zogby has a new poll out – one of the largest polls this year which has a 1.6% margin of error – which means it is as closer to the truth than most polls which have a 3% + margin of error:
The year’s biggest survey on healthcare reveals most Americans oppose the very reforms that President Obama is trying to push through Congress.
Among those currently insured, Zogby reports, 84 percent are satisfied with their current health care. Also, four out of every five people surveyed (80%) agreed that rising healthcare costs are hurting American businesses.
Pollster John Zogby says the results indicate that Americans want costs reduced and wish for everyone to be insured. But they are deeply divided on how to accomplish those goals.
It’s Alive! Alive!
So, here is yet another study that shows unborn babies are indeed human beings with emotions and feelings:
Scientists from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Maastricht University Medical Centre and the University Medical
Centre St. Radboud, both in the Netherlands, based their findings on a study of 100 healthy pregnant women and their fetuses with the help of some gentle but precise sensory stimulation……..
The unborn have memories, according to medical researchers who used sound and vibration stimulation, combined with sonography, to reveal that the human fetus displays short-term memory from at least 30 weeks gestation – or about two months before they are born.
“In addition, results indicated that 34-week-old fetuses are able to store information and retrieve it four weeks later,” said the research, which was released Wednesday.
The researchers found that the babies acclimated themselves to the sounds and vibrations to the point that they no longer bothered to respond – a process known as “habituation.”
