Presentation expands on the specific problems persons with SPD have. Also gives a checklist of characteristic behaviors and issues in persons w/Sensory Processing.
Sensory Processing Disorder is under-recognized among medical professionals but known well among Speech language and occupational therapists. Also known as Sensory Integration Dysfunction, it overlaps with Autism Spectrum, Aspergers, ADD, and ADHD or may be its own disorder. Person with this are often highly reactive to their environment (but can be under reactive). Knowing how to structure their environment, provide family and client support, and calm secondary symptoms with Homeobotanicals is key for managing it.
This is a powerpoint, I created, with help from a Developmental Specialist named Becky Parker (M. Ed.) who is in the Early Childhood Education/Early Childhood Special Education Program at BYU-Idaho. It talks about the causes and some helpful tips for parents, teachers, and specialists who may work with these amazing people who suffer from Sensory Disorders.
Sensory integration therapy is used to help children to learn to use all their senses together. That is touch,smell,taste,sight and hearing can improve difficulties/problems in children with special need.

Comparison of Popular diets for the Management of Type 2 DiabetesKimmer Collison-Ris
“Diabetes, a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, is characterized by high blood glucose level and glycosuria resulting from dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells and insulin resistance; in advance stages of diabetes, metabolism of protein and lipids are altered. When patients are able to keep blood glucose levels closer to normal, fewer complications occur. Over 90% of known diabetic patients are Type 2 (Marieb, 2010) and diet plays a key role in the treatment. Nutrients needed for health, divide into carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. Most foods offer a combination of nutrients but some categories and larger quantities elevate glucose levels. This paper serves to compare the ADA low fat, low carbohydrate diet to the Paleo, the Atkins, the Alkaline Acid diets, and food combining; offering possible alternatives for the diabetic patient.
Hawthorn berry is proposed as a possible anti-inflammatory treatment in the management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This is not to be undertaken without supervision and management by a qualified licensed medical provider educated in CAM modalities. This novel paper implicates inflammation as one of the key causes of ADHD/ADD and suggests the use of a carefully prescribed and monitored supplement of Hawthorn might be beneficial in managing this condition.
Novel Condition Monograph for Complimentary Alternative Medicine (CAM) modalities proposed for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Monograph created from a current literature search on treatment for ADHD, evidenced based complimentary therapies, nutrition, and dietary interventions.
Many of the current chronic disease conditions including cardiovascular disease, Diabetes, hyperlipidemia, ADD, ADHD, Arthritis, and other chronic conditions implicate chronic inflammation as the main disease culprit. Much of our western diet and lifestyle is to blame for this increase. Bioflavinoids contained in whole foods plant based diets show promise in reducing whole body inflammation. This novel paper discusses it possible role in reimaging and treating patients suffering from chronic inflammation to improve their health.
Is there a role for Homeobotanicals in Conventional Medicine?Kimmer Collison-Ris
Homeobotanicals are scientifically prepared herbal formulas prepared in a laboratory in New Zealand and have been utilized for the last several decades by Naturopathic providers. These products have been created and tested for correct dosages and blended to become formulas for use in patient's healthcare. They were discovered by the late Dr. Brian Murray to use in patients who could not afford the expensive naturopathic treatments. This paper discusses their preparation, uses, and suggests that they could be complimentary in treating patients in conventional medicine where standard treatments have failed.
Novel paper researched 3 vaccine preservatives: Aluminum, Ethyl Mercury, and Formaldehyde to assess if concerns regarding their presence in vaccines was valid in certain patient populations. Vaccine ingredient tables and graphics were included and determination that certain populations were at risk for negative health effects. Recommendations were made.

This presentation contains proper techniques in detoxification and an understanding of how homeobotanicals can help. Periodic detoxification is necessary to maintain good health.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
