Hyperactive Students: Emerging from the ADHD Dark Ages


Miracle Girl: Hyperactive Students: Emerging from the ADHD Dark Ages

Hyperactive and ADD kids now receive academic aid, giving them a hand up instead of stiff arm in school. For ADHD students born in the hyperfast lane, schools are finally doing something to keep them from crashing and burning. 
Can I have a do-over for my childhood?

    I never thought it was something to seriously consider, because the only major reason for us having hyperactive children was because of a sugar rush.

      I'm sorry, but "sugar rush" is a myth, and is not even a contributing factor to ADHD. If your children are only intermittently hyperactive, they're just behaving like normal kids.

    Excellent Nootropics article. Thank you.

    Just to be helpful for people interested in Nootropics especially Modafinil, I found another site that has some helpful articles and information.

    There is also a discount code (that works) if you want to buy Modafinil online (aka Modalert). Don’t worry this is not something spammy. It’s also more for the US and UK market. Hope it helps. See website below. Thanks all.

Coma Girl

Not a miracle recovery, but a miracle of modern medicine

In 2013 I fell into a six-week coma and nearly died after I contracted legionella. The Legionnaire's disease was in turn triggered by immunosuppression caused by the prednisone I was taking for my rare autoimmune disease, dermatomyositis.

I suffered a series of strokes on both sides of my brain when the sepsis caused my blood pressure to plummet. I fell into a deep coma. My kidneys and lungs began to fail, as my body was began dying one organ at a time. My doctors told my loved ones to give up hope for my full recovery. They expected me to die, and even if I somehow lived, I would remain a vegetable or at best left so hopelessly brain-damaged that I would never be same. But unbeknownst to them, while they were shining lights in my eyes and shaking their heads, I was telling them in my coma-dream--my secular version of a near-death experience--to leave me alone because I was trying to get back to sleep. I was experiencing what is known as covert cognition, the subject of my Skeptical Inquirer article "Covert Cognition: My So-Called Near-Death Experience," which appeared in their July/August issue.

But it wasn't a miracle--despite what so many continue to believe--that I recovered so fully. I owe my life not to God, but the miracles of modern medicine, as well as the nature of the watershed-area brain damage I suffered, as I detailed in my article and in this blog.
