Tempest in a tea cup, Wisdom in a sake cup

What an oxymoronrepparttar Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has turned out to be. This vegan organization has one colossal ax to grind with their archrival, Darth Atkins. This is an old score that they’ve unfairly flung in front ofrepparttar 114968 public before, all inrepparttar 114969 effort to squashrepparttar 114970 low carb idea and its adherents.

The first time was when Robert Atkins suffered his fatal accident, a cranial blow that caused edema – when water accumulates withinrepparttar 114971 tissues. This tragic condition, obviously, caused his body to fill with fluid and thus, his overall weight to rise.

The so-called “Responsible Physicians” seized on this dying man’s condition by calling Atkins obese – which he was not – and telling everyone who would listen that his diet killed him – which it did not.

Inrepparttar 114972 end, all they accomplished is to add bitterness and confusion to nutrition science by their shrill, unfair attacks on those who happen to disagree with them.

So, after maligning a dead man, they’ve now put up Florida businessman Jody Gorran to suerepparttar 114973 Atkins Corporation. Gorran – channeling those Responsible Physicians – maderepparttar 114974 following claims. First, Atkins was a doctor and Gorran was on his diet. Second, he had to have heart angioplasty to clear his arteries after 2 years onrepparttar 114975 diet. And third, he reasoned, ofrepparttar 114976 40,000 factors that affect weight and health …repparttar 114977 Atkins approach must have beenrepparttar 114978 very one to have done it to him.

Of course, I’m no low carb acolyte, and do anxiously encouragerepparttar 114979 lemmings to rebound back fromrepparttar 114980 intoxication with this high protein approach. But you still have to be fair, or you lose integrity, credibility, and confuse everyone inrepparttar 114981 process. That’s whyrepparttar 114982 Responsible vegans need to go sit in time out, before heading off to their anger management therapy.

Children with Reading Disorders

Written by David Fitzgerald


This learning disability is quite widespread. This disorder is known as dyslexia, and it is believe to affect as many as 8 percentrepparttar elementary school children. Reading is one ofrepparttar 114967 Big R’s, an ability that is important for success in our daily lives. As an adult you pick-up a newspaper, magazine, or any print matter and learn through readingrepparttar 114968 material something new or maybe a deeper understanding ofrepparttar 114969 topic. This process of reading has become second nature to you, but as a child you had to develop certain tasks. In your early years of life you learned to focus your attention onrepparttar 114970 printed material and in most cases taught to read it from left to right. As you advance you learnedrepparttar 114971 alphabet, andrepparttar 114972 sound ofrepparttar 114973 letters. From there you jumped torepparttar 114974 sound of words. Of course there was “Miss English” you knowrepparttar 114975 type. Marking up your (what you thought) great English paper with red pencil, and always correcting your English.

But this is a process of learning to read and understand sentences. From this to reading books some good, some not so good. Your mind began building ideas and images. New ideas are compared with old andrepparttar 114976 way you look at new experiences change your way one thinks. The concepts can be deep thoughts or everyday experiences are stored in your memory.

But children with dyslexia can have problems with any of these tasks. They can have a problem separatingrepparttar 114977 sounds in spoken words. Or they might be unable to simple sound out words, or maybe have trouble rhyming words.
