Hi everyone!

Sorry, no podcasts lately, and it looks like it's going to be a bit before I get some more on.  But I will at least clue ya'll in as to why.

First, when I got back from Chicago, I had been playing in the kitchen like a mad woman and creating/testing new recipes on the kids for upcoming ebooks. 

Then, I found out the house we live in, which we thought we were buying, is not happening.  So, now I've been house-hunting and packing up a house by me lonesome. 

However, I do have a piece of information I'd like to impart to you.  I recently put myself under chiropractic care, just in time it appears.  We also took lil' man in to have the nerve and muscle scans done.  His nerve scan showed sublaxations in the C1 and C2 vertebrae.  And the muscle scan showed he had muscle issues on one side (so did I, but mine was on the opposite side).  We still have yet to get the Xrays.

Here's where I wasn't surprised, but wanted to pass on to the rest of ya'll.  The C1 and C2 vertebrae sublaxations are very common in chiropractic patients that have autism.  And they are the vertebrae that deal with blood flow to the brain and all of those functions.  So I would highly recommend getting your child with autism at least the initial consultations with a chiropractor.  I'm thinking increase in blood flow to the brain for our kids can't be a bad thing.  Obviously it is up to each of you as to what you wish to do for your child.  However, I couldn't let this bit of information slip and not pass it on.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter holiday/spring break.  I'll be back on the air after the move!  Thank you for your patience and understanding.

In this episode, Sunshine interviews Special Education Teacher and Founder of Kid Solutions R Us (www.kidsolutionsr.us), Pam Dibbern.  This is the first interview (it got so good, we'll need to do more ). 

Pam has been teaching special education in a self-contained classroom.  She has taught kids with autism, mental retardation, ADHD, Down's Syndrome, Celebral Palsy, brain injury, and emotionally disturbed kids.  She has now started Kid Solutions R Us to help special needs kids and their families with improving their lives with diet and to help with information in working with the schools.   She has a passion to let parents know that there are choices that can make a huge difference in the lives of their children and in the parent's lives as well.  Her website kidsolutionsr.us is under construction.  She is also in the process of writing a book for parents concerning the affects of a raw and living food program on autistic children, as well as children with other disabilities and health issues.  She is also in the process of launching her blog and very own podcast!

Enjoy the show!
