I started developing neurological problems, falling down stairs, running into doorframes even when I saw them coming...
That's my pet hate that is. When new agers call a psychosomatic illness a 'neurological problem.'

I would put my hands out in front of me, one was yes, one was no and I'd ask my question and wait until one got heavy.
Why not use your rational, scientific mind? There is no proof for this.

No proof for most supplements, or food intolerances.

Now...I'm not saying that everyone who is diagnosed bipolar is toxic. (But I'd highly recommend that they check, and with a chelation challenge not a hair test and [i:25c0bdd2d9]not[/i:25c0bdd2d9] a blood test.)
No proof for any of these tests. Chelation has actually led to some deaths.

Nor am I saying that some kids aren't ADHD. But if we're going to be responsible about it, we need to do some digging. "Yes, ok, they are ______, but WHY."
Why not just give them a treatment that works? Rather than have years of suffering and continuing with a problem that effects their education, and often leads to them getting a criminal record?

When there is a hazardous piece of equiment on a playground we remove it,
Precisely, remove the problem with proper treatment. Not question something to which there probably are no answers, or chant in the hope it all goes away.

When my teacher railed abusively on a boy in my class in the fourth grade, I actually got physically ill.

You say you've had no depression for 9 years and your diagnosis is bipolar. Have you thought you might be hypomanic?
I know what my psychiatrist would say if I had thoughts that I was an elite human being and other bizarre, irrational beliefs.
Livingthequestions, believe me, I'm [i:25c0bdd2d9]really[/i:25c0bdd2d9] appreciating your participation in this thread :D :D :D My comments are only aimed at you in as much as you have bought the whole New Age package.
I was wondering if there was any of it you don't believe in. Faeries? Atlantis? Ascended Masters? Flower remedies? Urine therapy or colonic irrigation?
Love
