See book keywords and concepts |  A controversial treatment for dyslexia—which occurs in about 30 percent of ADHD patients—relies entirely on physical movements to train the cerebellum. dyslexia, dyspraxia, and attention treatment (DDAT) is based on the theory that a disruption in the brain's ability to coordinate movement might be responsible for eye-tracking problems and thus difficulties in learning to read and write. Researchers also know that most children with dyslexia perform worse than average on tests of cerebellar function. |

Consider the effects of dyslexia for a child attending public school— teasing, ridicule, poor academic performance, lowered career opportunities and financial status, lowered self-esteem and, for some children, increased social isolation. These do not necessarily occur, but they are more likely for those who cannot read as well or perform as well in school. In other words, some children who have dyslexia are likely experiencing extreme amounts of stress which may eventually lead to schizophrenia. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The announcer declared: "Scientists today announced they have found a gene for dyslexia. It's a gene on chromosome six called DCDC2." The New York Times ran a similar story the following day, under the headline, "Findings Support That [Dyslexia] Disorder Is Genetic." Other media picked up the story, and the legend of the primacy of DNA was reinforced.
There's only one problem with the legend: it's not true. |

CONCLUSION
A New Direction in Healing
IN THIS BOOK we have provided an overview of an emerging paradigm in biology and medicine—one that explores and seeks to engage the quantum processes in the body. |

See book keywords and concepts |  While it is difficult to point fingers at any particular chemical, many are known to be more strongly linked to dyslexia than others. For instance, toxic metals are well known to destroy nerves. There is a close correlation between the level of mercury that children are exposed to in the womb and the degree of language and memory deficits that result. In other words, the higher the level of mercury, the greater the degree of dyslexia. Other metals, such as cadmium, lead, and aluminum, also tend to be found in much higher levels in dyslexic children. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The genes for schizophrenia, which are likely to include genes for bipolar disorder, dyslexia, high intelligence and schizotypy, are responsible for most of the religious sense, most of the technical and artistic creativity, and most of the leadership qualities in modern humans."28 Of course, it is these genes which, in schizophrenics, promote overexposure to adrenochrome.
This belief is not new. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In practice, the term dyslexia tends to be used as an umbrella term for a number of related disorders of common origins, such as:
> Dyspraxia (problems with learning and with planning and executing sequences of coordinated movements; for example, eating with a spoon, riding a bike, or speaking clearly)
>• Dyscalculia (problems with numbers)
> Dysgraphia (problems with handwriting)
Dyslexia literally means the inability to master the written word. It is usually described as having "word blindness." A dyslexic brain has problems in seeing, understanding, or recognizing some words. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In 2003 British researchers tested the effectiveness of DDAT on thirty-five children with dyslexia and declared the results "astounding." Compared to no treatment, the students who followed the DDAT regimen for six months showed a significant improvement in reading and writing fluency, eye movement, cognitive skills, and physical measures such as dexterity and balance.
My friend and colleague Ned Hallowell uses this method (among many others) at his ADHD treatment center and has seen the positive effects in his own son. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Statistics suggest that around 10 per cent of children in the USA and the UK suffer from dyslexia (difficulty in reading), and other countries, including Japan, are reporting increasing numbers of cases. Dyslexia's close cousins - dysgraphia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia (difficulties respectively in writing, maths and physical coordination) - are also significantly on the rise.
However, the most recent - and extremely worrying - increase has been in autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), involving children's ability to relate to the world and communicate with others. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, iron, and choline, present in fish such as wild salmon, shrimp, pollock, cod, canned light tuna, and catfish, are important to brain development; researchers have found that they may lessen the effects of dyslexia, autism, hyperactivity, and attention deficit disorder. Some studies have linked those nutrients with increased intelligence in infants and young children.

See book keywords and concepts | | It was clear to me that he suffered from an attention deficit, combined with fairly severe symptoms of what I call social dyslexia, meaning he didn't know how to talk to people or be relaxed and flexible in conversation. Rusty's strategy to be cool and make friends was to dress in all black and sell marijuana that he grew himself.
I put him on a long-acting stimulant — a drug he couldn't abuse—for ADHD, and he picked up his grades a little and did very well on the SATs the spring of his junior year. |

After a subtitle that says, "Findings Support that Disorder is Genetic," the story goes on to tell us that, "...people deemed simply lazy or stupid because of their severe reading problems may instead have a genetic disorder that interfered with the wiring of their brains before birth.

These things serve as a ready excuse for the fact that educators have failed to educate, and that is the lure. It is much more ecstatic and romantic to be a brain diagnostician than it is simply to be one whose job is to impart the skill of reading. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Other environmental contaminants, such as PCBs (found in high levels in fish and animal products), are known to produce features common to dyslexia, such as abnormal levels of brain catecholamines and an altered brain shape and symmetry. Organochlorine pesticides, such as DDT and a wide number of other pesticides and solvents, can also damage the energy metabolism in certain parts of the brain involved in reading. Increased damage to the energy production in these areas could explain why reading causes these parts of the brain to become more fatigued in dyslexics, compared to nondyslexics. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Over the years, studies of children with ADHD and dyslexia have frequently pointed towards various mineral and vitamin deficiencies, usually resulting in a surge in the sales of food supplements. But when human beings eat a balanced diet, supplements aren't generally necessary. Too much sugar is a sure way of putting the diet out of balance. In the words of Oxford scientist Bernard Gesch, 'There is evidence that nutrition can improve [developmental conditions J.More importantly, if careful diet can be used to treat these, it's possible we can also prevent them in the first place. | | What's more, over the last few years, literacy levels -always a source of pride in Japan, where dyslexia was once unknown -have begun to plummet. Why then, in all the most advanced and advantaged countries of the world, should children be growing less able to exercise self-control and more difficult to teach?
The blind men and the elephant
Like most teachers I meet, my first instinct was to lay the blame for deteriorating behaviour on television. | | The point at which psychologists diagnose a developmental disorder is, of course, moot - indeed, everyone in education knows diagnosis is partially dependent upon a child's background (the apparent incidence of dyslexia, for instance, is much greater in affluent areas than in disadvantaged ones). But the point is that, year on year, fewer children make what used to be called 'normal' progress. Increasingly, children in general have problems focusing their concentration, exercising self-restraint and taking account of other people's needs and interests. | | The reason psychologists call ADHD, the dyslexia group and ASD 'developmental disorders' is that, in terms of social behaviour and/or achievement at school, the children concerned don't develop at the 'normal' rate - something holds them back. There's a sort of developmental continuum we expect children to move along during the first ten or so years of life. At birth, they're all helpless little bundles of egocentricity, but as time goes on we assume they'll move slowly (with occasional understandable regressions) towards more 'grown-up' civilised behaviour. |

Every sentence he uttered, no matter how routine, he repeated to himself softly moving his lips. This habit persisted into his seventh year. |

Babies who experience prenatal malnutrition are also eventually more likely to develop schizophrenia.24 The same is true for babies who experience oxygen deprivation during birth.25 Babies who are born prematurely are more likely to develop schizophrenia.26 One research team calculated that a child who suffers brain damage prior to or just following birth is seven times more likely to develop schizophrenia. |
