Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Does anyone have any good materials to recommend to teach inference, which will help reading comprehension ultimately? For reading comprehension, my son is doing okay with the factual information, however, he is stumped by even simple inference questions. http://www.linguisystems.com/itemdetail.php?id=470 This is the redone version of the MEER. http://www.greatideasforteaching.com/mall/product.asp?dept%5Fid=900 & pf%5 Fid=G853 I've used some of these, not that I'm any expert. http://www.greatideasforteaching.com/mall/product.asp?dept%5Fid=900 & pf%5 Fid=G852 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am having trouble with sodium badly. It might have been the sodium. It has always helped me in the past so I don't know. >>>> My son's seizure frequency and severity have lessened in the two years he has been on Dr Johanna Budwig's protocol of 1 T flaxseed oil, 1T ground flaxseed mixed into 1/2 cup plain yoghurt and 1T virgin coconut oil. He gets this three times a day. It is important to have the sulfurated amino acids found in yoghurt to make the flaxseed oil work in your body. It is not a good idea to take flaxseed oil without it. Consider joing the flaxseedoil list and read the FILES for Budwig's protocol flaxseedoil2-subscribe He also get 10 grams of fish oil a day and other brain supporting supplements plus pharmaceuticals.

You know we don't know if the seizures are caused by light or if the the light just helps her release the the seizure, it is still an unknown. The support for getting sunlight is helpful for it is true she does need it. Sometimes in trying to help her decrease the amount of seizures we forget to consiously get out into the light. Do you know for serotonin how the light has to enter the body? Is it through the eyes or the skin or just being outside? Thank you, >>>> Through the eyes and also the thin bones at the temple and also the third eye in the forehead. If she's been in a low light situation for quite a while, introducenatural light slowly, a few minutes several times a day, then work up to being outside a couple of hours midday.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi Thanks for your reply In a way what we're trying to do is keep things 'local', we work in an extremely deprived area and we're hoping that setting something up like this will help to reduce attendances at A & E. The HVs are working geographically and many of those attending will know the professionals dealing with the minor illnesses. What do others think about this? I've got to agree it makes for a very interesting debate!! This is only one approach that we're taking towards this problem; at the moment our HVs are facilitating a common childhood illnesses course - it's a fantastic (although very basic) training package that has been developed by our Sure Start Community Paediatrician. It is very much based on what parents have stated that they needed to know - it aims to help them to feel confident to manage their child's care when they are poorly. The feedback from the groups has been excellent and the first phase of research is very encouraging. (our paed) is about to begin some further research in order to determine whether attending the course can decrease repeated hospital attendance/admission. In all it's quite an exciting piece of work look forward to hearing views... best wishes Digest Number 1415 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Sounds great , and just the kind of balance that was in my mind when I was talking about identifying principles to avoid it just becoming another medical clinic. Agree, other's views would be interesting to read.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hi Dolores, I hope that life is treating you well and that the sun is also shining over in the West.
