my dad is the same way but just keep in mind that the laxative effect is BECAUSE it’s not absorbing. Once you ramp up on a good, absorbable for like glycinate, you’ll see the same effectives but it will be due to relaxing the muscles and increasing the peristalsis (sp) affect.

This is a news forum to discuss and politely debate newsworthy topics. Most who post here recognize that the owner of this site has built a community in which conservatives can sharpen their thinking about conservative issues objectively. It becomes unfriendly and unpleasant when individuals try to engage in personal taunts and pissing contests. It says in the rules, should one take the time to read them, not to let it get personal.

Those who wish to be respected here usually prepare to back up their opinion with links. My earlier post did contain a link to the point I made about the effects of minimal brain disfunction.

[Albion Wilde]

Please inform me as to what physical tests are used to detect these abnormalities and how they show up on the given medical devices (e.g., brain imagery).

You would have to go to the source to get that information, as I did not conduct the study. As the link said, the study was published by the Mayo Clinic. From the description at the link, it appears they examined the statistical incidence of ADHD (or symptoms resembling the approximate clinical signs of ADHD) in a sample group of children, and compared it to the incidence and length of general anesthesia during infancy in the study sample; and by this means identified a measurable trend, but not an absolute causation.

“ADHD certainly exists for those who struggle with it.”

I agree based on my personal experience! My son was only able to do his homework and participate constructively in class if he stayed on his ADHD meds. This was true from middle school all the way through college.

[Anti-Hillary]

I am with you! My son DEFINATELY has ADHD. Naysayers, come live in our world (well disciplined , I might add) and tell me that it all made up!

thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate your concern But I do think I have taken on some great challenges, like voluntarily adopting and now homeschooling a fetal alcohol autistic child maybe when I retire, I’ll take up reading comprehension

Oh it's not concern, it's contempt for someone who horns in on subjects they are only tangentially related to, then uses their adopted children for human shields.

Do you think you're the only FReeper to adopt a problem child?

[papertyger]

Please explain my "aggressive intellectual dishonesty," as I wasn't the one claiming anything other than I found your comments to be nonsense.

You know I didn't write the original comment you were attacking, right?

Until the FR biddies get their beaks out of joint.

Please save the lectures, I've been here far longer than you, an need no condescending lectures from one of the most prominent of said biddies.

So you posted a link that may have been applicable to a subset of the subject. It confers no more credibility to you than a kid faking a foreign accent.

It confers no more credibility to you than a kid faking a foreign accent.

That would be your speciality.

Kindly refrain from posting to me.

[papertyger]

Kindly refrain from posting to me.

You're kidding, right? Didn't you learn anything from Lois Lerner?

You don't get to give your side AND plead "the fifth." If you don't want to hear from me...stop posting.
