I am a "Mom with  Message..."
   

         For parents, educators and physicians who are coping with a child who is highly intelligent but hyper—or has some type of learning disability.
               Read in my book how your child can be helped on two levels. 



My purpose in writing this book is to share information on where to find and understand the best help for your child, whether he is hyper, has dysgaphia, or any kind of learning disability. Inform yourself by reading this page so you will understand where your child can find help, what to expect, and benefit by making the most rapid progress possible using Ed Snapp's methods. You also will learn what is hidden from you when you rely on ordinary medical sources for information.

By second grade, my son knew he was "different." He learned orally and was at the top of his class in mastering the material. He became an avid reader but didn't know why he was unable to print or color within the lines. He did other things with his hands. My personal desperation grew and my heart bled for him for years while I searched diligently for herlp.

Deep Massage Therapy: The hyper child needs help on two levels. First, the child needs deep massage therapy, plus therapeutic exercises, to calm his nervous system as well as to reprogram messages to his brain. The best source is at Futures Unlimited, Columbus, Mississippi, established by Ed Snapp whose therapy corrected gaps in the brain and took a child to a higher level than one can find elsewhere.  See Part III in my book. Visit www.futuresunlimited.com to see a list of treatments covered.

Feeding the Cells: Secondly, Dr. Mary B. Allen (deceased), a Biochemist, used her expertise in glandular research to discover the deficiency at the cellular level of the body.  She stated (paraphrased): "All or almost all children with any type of learning disability suffer from undiagnosed hypoglycemia (or borderline hypoglycemia). This means he needs a constant supply of nutrients at the cell level to replinish his energy."

This is acomplished by giving the child frequent snacks, alternately with powdered dextrose or fructose sugars, every hour on the hour, between meals during waking hours plus mega-vitamin therapy, as described in Part II of my book.  This is the only solution; there is no pill to be prescribed for this condition. Your local physician has not been trained to advise you when only borderline hypoglycemia is indicated; thus, the child who desperately needs help goes untreated.
Your
Can't Sit Still: Parents write blogs, trying to understand why. When a hyper child uses up his energy at the cell level, other cells automatically take over the duties of keeping the child sitting or standing, or whatever he is doing. If this did not happen, the child would simply fall over. Because cells can rest a short time, grab nutrients as the blood flows by and resume their  "duties," this constant shifting of cells, which supply energy, takes place as a normal body function.

The person has no control over these constant actions within his body.


One example of  Medical Stonewalling
: Most frequently, the Opthalmologist does not tell you when he discovers your child has no peripherial (side) vision because there is nothing his profession can do for your child. However, Mr. Snapp's therapy uses flashing lights plus eye exercises, which corrected my son's vision within eight months. No eye glasses for him.

Shedding Light
: My hope is that my book will shed light on information  in use since the early 1960's but has not been taught to most professionals in the "main stream" who are supposed to be well informed on how to help your child. This is why one must look elsewhere to find the best training available for one's child.


In my personal life, my late husband, Nugent Boyd and I were married 51 years and resided in Port Arthur, Beaumont, and retired to Kirbyville in the beautiful piney woods in East Texas. We reared a son and a daughter, who along with my son-in-law and granddaughter, and I now reside in Georgetown, Texas.
