We are hearing a lot about sensory integration problems and the discipline that is handling sensory integration problems most is Occupational Therapy. It may seem strange to have children going to occupational therapy, but Nikki will explain to us that this is about the normal tasks that occupy a persons time. LOL Anyway, here is a brief introduction, from 2010, to OT for sensory integration.

We loved Nikki, who was a graduate of Baylor and a member of what was then the fastest growing church in Austin. She worked for Milestones, but has moved away since then. However, some of what she said, related to 2010 is exactly what needs to be considered today in 2021, that we can not speak about. you will hear it, carefully said, and you will know.

WHAT I DO

From my doctor mom and preschool educator perspective lots of sensory experiences, at the child’s level is a great idea. Dr. Montessori based much of her work on sensory education. Children’s task in the first years is to explore their environment, but modern environments are often too restrictive. For instance, a child can investigate a crib or a playpen only so much. They want to feel the carpet and the grass. They wan to bang the pots and the cabinet doors. They want to feel the difference between the velvet cushion and the satin one. The Montessori classroom offers these experiences in an organized manner. Also, as a grandmother of children who had problems, I offered a lot of swinging, rocking, and dancing to one child. Another needed extra time to draw circles and boxes and learn how to use a pencil. As an educator, I have seen children with differing problems. Some great OTs really helped families who were mystified about their children’s troubles.

Please chime in and tell us what is going on for you parents and your professionals now. We love to hear from you.

Victory for a Child who “Cant Speak”

Recently, I saw a prayer request for a little guy who cant speak, and besides praying, I realized that I had not shared our family’s victory with this issue. I had 3 grandsons who “couldn’t” speak. Let me tell you about them, and about another little gal. It should give you ideas and some hope and faith for any child of yours who “cant speak.”

Also, along the way, I mentioned diet. I took my grandson off milk, so he could hear. Here is a link to Dr. Melillo’s Disconnected Kids, to his book on diet, and to a search on the Fiengold diet. The Fiengold diet is an elimination diet that people use to find out what foods are irritating their children. Consequently, it is thought of as a diet for allergies or ADD, but the same logic works for any problem. Experimenting, you know… like science. LOL You have to laugh these days. People are so stirred up and angry about things they know nothing about. When this Fiengold diet came out, like in the 70s, lots of people spoke against it. It certainly has stood the test of time. You use it to find out what is bothering your child. If you already know, of course, it is a lot of trouble.

Like I said, your situation might not be exactly like any that I shared, but the stories will give you a place to start, some ideas, and surely some hope & faith. And that is where everything starts.

I just raise questions. I review common knowledge history and current events, and do some actual logical thinking, and come up with some things to ask about. Maybe you should consider these things, research these things, and come to your conclusions. I don’t presume to be an epidemiologist, a medical doctor, or a lawyer. I am a minister of the gospel. What I do know is that Jesus said, “Take heed! Let no one deceive you!” I do know that deception runs rampant today. I care about you and your children. Witness this work. Please take heed.

HISTORY

The idea of vaccines have been with us for a while. Luis Pasteur is credited with inventing vaccines, which is not entirely true, as they were in use before his promotion of them. However, there is reason to think that on his deathbed he did agree with his friend and challenger who said that gardens are better if made healthier rather than merely poisoned. In other words, making the human system more healthy in order to strengthen its own capabilities would be better than artificially creating an agent to kill one germ.

After decades of trying, we have not been able to create an HIV/AIDS vaccine. While we have many flu vaccines, they are not entirely effective. We have to guess which one/s to use. For some people they are a nuisance; for others a boon, even with the small risk of death. The stats, or the probability of death, however, from the new covid-19 vaccine is much higher than that of the flu vaccine. The stats on the contagion and death from the covid-19 vaccine are inflated and certainly nothing near the perception given by the sensationalistic media. Fortunately, few have died from covid. Most of those were older or had other serious problems. Viruses are part of the brokenness of the world; they are hard to stop; they mutate toward weaker.

And who would have created such a thing in the first place?

DOCTORS WEIGH IN

Doctors are weighing in on the subject, but you might not know it, due to current pervasive media and social media policy of permitting only the official view — no matter how unscientific or unAmerican that view or that policy might be.

https://kellyvictorymd.blogspot.com/ Dr. Kelly Victory has been actively questioning the covid response, and has good credentials for doing so.

Dr. Don Colbert is very popular in faith circles, and loved by GSB. He has said some things previously about flu vaccines. We are not aware of his having weighed in on covid-19 specifically.

Oh! Where did all my links go. Ohhh. Things are getting really really spoooky.
Here is how and where to report if you or your child has been injured by a vavccine: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/injured-by-a-vaccine-heres-how-to-report-it?utm_source=LifeSiteNews.com&utm_campaign=87a46d9826-Freedom_1_28_21&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_12387f0e3e-87a46d9826-409856862 I have no experience with this myself; looks good, but use your own judgement.

PUSH TO DISCREDIT SCIENCE — YOU JUDGE

There is a strong push to discredit anyone who asks questions or who had an actual scientific criticism. Anyone who distrusts “medicine” or “the media” is crazy. Right. You judge that. But here is a study about the breakdown. If you actually read it and sort out the facts you will find that both Republicans and Democrats have serious reservations and those who are more educated are more concerned — and have been. https://harvardpolitics.com/the-new-anti-vax/ So, please conclude then, that anyone who smears those with serious fact base questions as mere crackpots are themselves engaging in very dangerous bullying if not life-threatening tyranny of Biblical proportions.

NEWS AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE – level of “comments”

Consortium of doctors suggest pushing the covid vaccination in most cases is unethical.

Healthcare workers avoiding the vaccine. This is reported by many conventional news sources. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-vaccine-health-care-worker-reluctance/

Politicians on both sides are delaying getting vaccine — but the story on Fox is that they are deferring to others. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/lawmakers-refusing-covid-19-vaccine-health-care-workers-seniors-get-it-first
However, it is also reported that they are making the greatest effort to ensure that “blacks” and “browns” get the vaccine. This link is to a program that covers news in a way they think is amusing. Played over many times is a clip of President Biden’s comments on efforts to reach lower income segments and then a cartoon that appears to be an effort to do that. https://www.revivaltoday.tv/check-the-news/season:2/videos/rush-limbaugh-tribut-2021-02-17-23-00-03-4628kbps See what you think.

Apparently, military personnel are avoiding the vaccine. https://www.oann.com/report-military-members-resisting-getting-covid-vaccination/ seems to be front page 2/18/2021

Most importantly, reliable news organizations outside of the country question the usefulness of the vaccine, given the variations around the world https://www.jpost.com/health-science/pfizer-south-african-variant-could-significantly-reduce-vaccine-protection-659362

We are working hard for you. This is a rerun. It is one of our proudest moments, that in January 2009, we had world-renowned Dr. Wakefield on our broadcast. It is important background information.
BTW, Dr. Wakefield was a world class, internationally known gastroenterology before his work having to do with vaccines. He was persecuted strongly. He was also vindicated entirely.

Added Note 1/7/2021
Oh! I was certain I found this old broadcast, connected it to the website, and tested it — last week. Now it is not here? In today’s environment, one begins to doubt that was MY *mistake.* Oh dear! Well, I will allocated this month’s allotment — because it is SO important for you. And there might be something else going on in low ratings. So, please take a little extra effort to share? Thanks.
