I am going to clean up my Jury Blacklist today.

A) YOU sent me a pm that introduced me to meta where you slandered me six ways to Sunday.

B) You claimed to have expertise on a subject I was BEGGING for help about -- and you DIDN'T help (except by showing me that people would treat what was happening in a very skeptical manner), so you might want to look at the whole "log in the eye hypocrite thing" a little more closely for your own personal growth purposes before throwing that particular accusation at ANYONE.

C) it is a flat out LIE that I have EVER tried to get money from anyone suffering from neuromuscular issues or whose child was born with prematurity. I do not SELL anything; we have given over $20,000 worth of product away, and I have never personally either recovered any expenditures I have made or received any form of financial compensation on behalf of the non-profit organization I founded to benefit other people's children.

I am a human being and since I know how much my family has sacrificed for this work, you have personally OFFENDED ME by the LIE that I am trying to "SELL" something when I have worked so hard to make sure I am not tainted by the "trying to sell a product" issue. I make my living in the IT world; my volunteer work is UNPAID and UNCOMPENSATED in any way.

"Woo-Woo Science" accusations are currently amusing, ON EDIT: since the whole explanation is based on medical textbooks, peer reviewed scientific papers, the work of the whack jobs who create "RDA" data (silly scientists!) and those crazy folks called "veterinarians" with their silly textbooks and proven animal husbandry practices - seriously, how much more "woo-woo" can you get than by saying "nutrition impacts health and development"? I mean, it just *happens* to be the number one topic in every pregnancy book on the planet: "How to Eat for a Healthy Baby" and such. END EDIT Here is the theory I am working on putting together in a coherent fashion:

"A primary cause of neuromuscular issues, including certain types of cerebral palsy and sensory processing issues, is micronutrient deficiency with the primary causes being either a) prematurity or low birth weight; b) maternal deficiency (due to either prematurity or absorption issues); c) in utero exposure to teratragins; d) malnutrition; e) absorption issues during periods of high growth. Primary symptoms of these deficiencies include "failure to thrive", and may include "floppy baby syndrome" in infants, developmental delays, hyper spastic and/or hypotonic symptoms, sensory processing issues, cognitive impairments, chronic constipation issues, teeth grinding, and/or poor appetite."

CORRECTION: Oral supplementation of trace minerals in liquid form at (see chart for dosing)."

And here is what happens - if we get to them before they turn one....

If they are older, but pre-puberty, it can take longer, but THIS is what I saw when my world changed on June 8, 2012 - at the end of April/beginning of May she was confined to a wheelchair, weighed 44 pounds, could barely hold her head erect, couldn't remember the alphabet, and had never used her hands to take care of her own bodily needs. I will leave this link up for a short time - this is the Lounge, and I don't think anyone cares about this piece of the thread other than you and me - and then I am going to edit it away, but THIS is why I freaked out --

Does it work for adults? No clue. My resources are limited, and the one adult I asked early on to help was calling me a snake oil salesman despite my repeatedly saying "it's FREE!" and bluntly, resources got concentrated on children twelve and under. 271 children and one year later, solid data on 161 we have 83% (aka 121!) seeing improvement in at least three of the eight categories we tracked. I lost track of the number of kids who just quit using their assistive devices - one kid just carried their walker across a snowy parking lot because using it was too much trouble! (That mom had a fun day! lol!)

And that doesn't include the parents who downloaded the instructions, went to Amazon, and just started doing it on their own. (Mason's mom was one of those - bless that woman!). The Facebook parent group is still active, and when I get tired, I read the stories there....

There is more, of course. The younger they are, the faster they respond. GMAC level plays a factor (and yes, they are SWITCHING GMAC CATEGORIES!). And 17% don't respond and no clue why....

So much more -- and so much work to do, yet I am posting on DU instead while I stress over something else going on in my life. I am actually responding to YOU, even after you were being a complete ASS about my dead sister! (Don't even try to justify that one again, or it will be back on ignore so fast...Grrr!)

I will never forget - I have the PMs - I bloody well *BEGGED* you for help, and you did nothing but insult and slander me. If I had let your venom stop me -- I shudder at the lives that wouldn't have been helped if you had succeeded in discouraging my efforts!!!

I saw your reply to this thread while not logged in. Should I forgive you? Do you even get that you really did something ROTTEN?

Your biggest crime, in MY opinion?

You could have helped. You chose not to.
