Study Links ADHD in Kids to Pesticide Exposure – TIME- Fran Suss

Posted in Blog on May 19th, 2010 | comments (0) Email This Article Study Links ADHD in Kids to Pesticide Exposure – TIME . Pesticides are just one factor, as the article notes, in the alarming rise of ADHD. I have worked successfully with children with ADD and ADHD ( as well as kids on the Autistic Spectrum) for almost 2 decades, using nutrition, homeopathy and kinesiology to identify and address issues. Please try a natural approach before you consider medication.
For the last few months, I’ve been quietly been working on a new project.

Marvel Comics for iPad Might Just Revolutionize Comics | TapCrit

http://tapcritic.com/tap/2010/5/15/marvel-comics-for-ipad-might-just-revolutionize-comics.html I'll be honest; I've never really been into comics. So when I heard that Marvel was releasing a comic reader on the iPad day one, I wasn't too terribly exciting. Now, though, I've done a one-eighty. This app lets you view comics in an unprecedented way.
