Water Memory ... Pseudoscience?

I have been contemplating on this idea of water memory after a 3 hour seminar that I attended last Saturday, May 5th at Bioenergetic

It is hard to say if hard evidence would ever arise or people are drawn into different types of energy that ones feel at ease and right for them. I am still skeptical about this transferring of energy to a cup of water.

I use homeopathy and believe in it because it actually works on my two children. The idea of dilution of a substance, there is still the physical aspect of something placed in the water and even if the dilution surpassed the Avogadro's number of 10 to the 23rd.

Auditory Processing Disorder contributes to Dyslexia

I have been reading about dyslexia and many thoughts have come up to why this is a reading disability. If we have an education system that just feed the masses what are we doing to these children that has reading problems but yet has strength to think differently? I am sure not all children are on the non-dyslexia verses dyslexia.

I came across the book by Ronald Davis titled The Gift of Dyslexia. Most people say it isn’t a gift and most people would rather not read to keep it. This book gave me great insight of what dyslexia is from the author first hand account of his own dyslexia. And his proven method to solve the problem of dyslexia in having the person who has it controls it by turning it on and off at will. Doesn’t it sound science fiction; I was thinking along something like X-Men or any superheroes that has special powers? For a Dyslexic it is the power of projecting imagery, as it is reality in the head, which somehow cause interferences with ability to read.

The brain of a dyslexic thinks in images. If a word needs to represent a concept that cannot be conjured to an images that is what messes everything up. The word apple when you think in a picture form you likely to get a fruit that is red with a brown stem or it could be green, but either way you get a picture. But when it comes to “problem words” that Davis mentioned for example the word “the” doesn’t bring up any images association because in English language the word “the” is classified as an article to be placed in front of a noun to specify it. It is even possible to think of a picture of “the” other than just the letterforms. That is why the word “the” to a picture thinker doesn’t mean anything.

Another thing that I find very specific is how central auditory processing disorder is the main contributing factor of dyslexia. Since phonological awareness and differentiation is already difficult and the child have to compensate something for example to use more visual cues then of course it makes sense that dyslexia would occur.

The best part to help a child is to catch it early with any signs and symptoms and I say not to wait to the recommended age of 7 or 8. My son is now age 6 and he is already behind in speech and also some gross/fine motor skills that need to be trained up. Just comparing my youngest now age 4.5, she is able to name all alphabets and tell me the words that begin with each letters. I wished I could have drawn the connection and look into a solution sooner. But it isn’t too late.

Fractured toe

I somehow knew that one day it is going to happen to one of the kids.

The younger one likes to tease the older one and attached like a fly to a turd. My oldest is quiet most of the time and likes to play by himself and my younger is a chatter and needs a lot of sensory input. So when those two doesn't mix which is most days then that is when things get out of hand.

Door slamming happens a lot and just unfortunate for today that Clemmie's toes happened to be in the way of the door. I was so scared that her toes were going to fall off. Her left 3th, 4th and pinky toes were swollen and turned gray and white ... so lifeless against the blood gushing out slowly but surely.

I have a thing for blood that would sent me into a panic attack. I am not fond of anything red. Red is not a favorite color of mind along with orange and yellow. And I usually faint on the sight of blood. But when you become a mom you have to take on the role of rescue mission and anything and everything are dealt with in a matter of fact manner.

I quickly grab some ice packs and held the foot like a sandwich and grab tissues to soak the blood and off we go hop on the taxi to the closest ER.

As we got there, Clemmie's toes got some life back and the triage nurses were cleaning up the wounds. Her pinky toes is still swollen to match the size of her other toes. Clemmie fell asleep as we waited for the one doctor that was on duty during the holiday ... May 1st will always be commemorated by this childhood trauma. After the cue to the doctor, we went straight to radiology for an x ray and I did pray that she would be okay. And an hour after that the results came in with a fractured 4th toe.

Clemmie is a trooper. She was on pain meds for two days and decided that she didn't need it anymore yesterday. She is learning to use her whole right foot now instead of her usual tip toe self. Somehow this could be the turn of event for her sensory issues with her feet. This situation forces her to compensate and she has to use the whole sole of her feet or at least for her heels.

Second thing that comes is my son's guilt. He felt really terrible and scared that his sister cannot walk again. But then Theo also has a mixed feeling of all the attention dynamic shifted to his sister and he doesn't know what to do about it. He was frustrated yesterday when I helped her redress her wounds and it took awhile which for him is a lifetime to rescue him out of his bed. He wanted to be babied too.
He did tell his papa that he will never fight Clementine again.

I hope this happening will forever resonance.
