DYSLEXIA AND ITS CORRECTION BY NUTRITIONAL MEANS

                  Dyslexia is a reading, writing and learning condition in which letters and numbers are reversed or even seen and written upside down.  Dyslexia affects up to 25 million Americans and many others around the world.  It causes low self-esteem, frustration, learning difficulties and more.  Those afflicted include many famous people such as Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Leonardo daVinci, Walt Disney, Winston Churchill, and Hans Christian Anderson.

                  Many with dyslexia are far brighter than average.  It is a shame they are treated as though they are 'dumb' or 'slow', when this is not true.  The truth is their brains do not function quite right, and a mineral imbalance is related to the cause and its correction.  This article discusses recent research on dyslexia that appears to relive the problem very well.

                  Dr. Harold Levinson, MD has done ground-breaking research with dyslexia.   Briefly, he has found that it has to do with the inner ear and cerebellum, a part of the brain that receives signals from the sense organs before they go to the cortex of the brain.

                  Dr. Levinson has also found ways to overcome dyslexia using ginger, perhaps along with the over-the-counter anti-histmaine drug pseudafed (pseudephedrine) and possibly the use of Dramamine, another over-the-counter drug used for motion sickness.


SYMPTOMS OF DYSLEXIA

 

                  Indications of dyslexia usually begin to show up around age five or six.  Symptoms many include:

á           Shapes or sequences of letters or numbers appear changed or reversed.

á           Spelling is incorrect or inconsistent.

á           Words or lines are skipped when reading or writing.

á           Letters and numbers appear to move, disappear, grow or shrink.

á           Punctuation marks or capital letters are omitted, ignored or not seen.

á           Words and letters are omitted, altered or substituted while reading or writing.

á           Some speech sounds are difficult to make or mispronounced.

á           False sounds are perceived.

á           The person appears to not listen or hear what is said.

á           One can experience dizziness or nausea while reading.

á           There is a poor sense of direction.

á           Inability to sit still.

á           Problems with balance and coordination.

á           Hyperactivity or hypoactivity can occur due to frustration.

á           Excessive daydreaming, and trouble being on time.

Another resource is a book called The Gift Of Dyslexia by Ronald Davis.  You can contact the Reading Research Council, 1601 Old Bayshore Highway, #260, Burlingame, CA 94010, 1-800-729-8990 or (415) 692-8990.  However, I believe the research by Dr. Levinson is even better than this somewhat older book.
