hi there:

well i think that if anyone knows about this, it would be gaylen.

so here's what's up. i had heard from a mom a interesting story. she had her child (who has autism) in for a surface EMG, (which measures spinal inflamation). her child had inflamed spine, all the way down his back, i believe it was on the left side. the doctor, (who is a chiroprator), had never seen this before, except that very morning on a child with ADD. so, being the curious person i am, i took both my children in. my daughter's was totally normal, but low and behold, john's was the same inflamed, just not as much. the doctor said this was related to allergies, chemicals, and that john was under a tremendous amount of stress. AAAAAAAAAgh. i am not quite clear what side of the brain is controlling this inflamed portion of the back.

am i totally off my rocker here, or has anyone dealt with this particular subject before. any thoughts?

chris
