B-Calm audio sedation for the ADHD mind – a Review

B-Calm audio sedation for the ADHD mind – a Review
on: April 14, 2009 by: Bryan Hutchinson 4 Comments , , , , ...

Having searched the world over, somewhat in vain, for external solutions to help me with ADHD,  I am not the type of person that jumps on any bandwagon which claims to assist or improve the ADHD mind. With that said: When I write I like to have music on in the background and sometimes I like to have the TV and even the radio on, all at the same time. You might think that would be distracting. Not for me. Having so much going on actually helps me calm down and focus. If I can get the right buzz of noise going, then I often zone into hyper-focus mode and I got to tell you, I love it when that happens. However, getting the right buzz going is usually a rarity! Recently, a newer member on ADDer World, our ADHD interactive social website, promoted his B-Calm audio sedation system on his […]

Michael Phelps Smoking pot, weed, grass or something in a bong?!

Michael Phelps Smoking pot, weed, grass or something in a bong?!
on: February 16, 2009 by: Bryan Hutchinson 6 Comments , , , , ...

  I guess when you are insane famous a little photo can get a lot of attention, especially if you are considered the perfect role model. Truth is, nobody is perfect and nobody should be expected to be perfect. That being said, I read a couple recent blog posts about Michael’s situation and how his actions do, or better yet, do not relate to ADHD. Can you really separate the actions of someone with ADHD from ADHD itself? That’s a very good question. Check out these two articles which take a moment to put this whole shebang in perspective: Dr. Rory Stern’s take And another very interesting, no BS article by Jennifer Koretsky What do you think of Michael’s recent actions concerning smoking marijuana? Related to ADHD? Or just a 23 year old experimenting? Or… ~Bryan

Blog Blogging Blogger Blogosphere

Blog Blogging Blogger Blogosphere
on: December 26, 2008 by: Bryan Hutchinson 2 Comments ...

I blog, I love to blog – I love to share my personal experiences, thoughts and beliefs with you. I think blogging is one of the most important movements in the new world order. Yes, there is a new world order, more and more people are reading blogs and less people are reading printed newspapers! In turn more newspapers are offering their articles online for free. Good idea! However, it’s blogging in the blogosphere which has caught the world by storm and I mean bloggers who are just writing about what they personally care about, not necessarily about what they are being paid to write or being asked to write. Many blogs have more readership than many traditional newspapers. Why? I think one word can sum it up: Influence. When something is written on a blog by someone paid or asked to write, there is influence, or perceived influence, from […]

The Dip by Seth Godin – Book Review for those with ADHD

The Dip by Seth Godin – Book Review for those with ADHD
on: December 21, 2008 by: Bryan Hutchinson 9 Comments ...

The Dip by Seth Godin is a book I recommend for ADDers as highly as I do certain books written specifically about ADHD. (Seth doesn’t have ADHD, but he could have fooled me! *Correction: Seth reveals in the comments below that he does indeed have ADHD.) The Dip is a motivational and inspiring book about knowing when to give up, yes, give up, let go and when to not give up, – no, do not give up and stick with it, making it through The Dip. ADDers have a tendency to give up and berate themselves for giving up, but what if we should give up on certain things? Giving up isn’t always bad or as terrible as we perceive it, sometimes it is the right thing to do. On the contrary though, there are things which seem difficult and trying, but we don’t want to give up on them, no […]

Our enjoyable stroll through Amsterdam

Our enjoyable stroll through Amsterdam
on: September 15, 2008 by: Bryan Hutchinson 5 Comments , ...

  Joan and I spent a wonderful clear day in Amsterdam on Saturday. We had a great time and were relieved to have such splendid weather. The day before, while we were in Utrecht, it had rained the entire day. Saturday started out a little drizzly too, but by the time we reached Amsterdam the weather had cleared and the sun was breaking from the clouds.     Joan is an art history buff and the museums are always on our agenda. We have visited Amsterdam several times in the past because my family, on my mother’s side, is from Holland. This time, though, other than the Van Gogh museum we didn’t really have any other plans and spent the day walking through the city. It was great because we got to see several sites we usually do not come across.     One of those sites was “The American Bookstore”. It […]

Milk and Gluten Withdrawal

Milk and Gluten Withdrawal
on: August 7, 2008 by: Bryan Hutchinson 15 Comments ...

After yesterday’s important post about Milk and Gluten I thought a follow up post is important, considering that there can be withdrawal when one stops eating and drinking these foods. It’s the age old, worse before you get better thing. It sucks, and it is real, therefore must be addressed by anyone attempting such a diet, or a person might stop the diet completely in order to feel better in the short run. (Edit Side Note: We have a Dietary Group on the ADDer World ADHD Social Network. We further discuss issues with Gluten and food allergies.)  The following article is by Dr. Charles Parker, a member of the interactive ADDer World, he has given permission to repost: Celiac Notes: Opiate Withdrawal from Gluten and Casein? Opiate withdrawal from discontinuing gluten and casein? Cautionary note: sounds absurd until you see it. You might want to warn gluten sensitive, celiac and casein […]
