They were able to exist, but they were just "problem children".
I was always set aside in class because I was a "head in the clouds" student.

I even had a teacher making fun of me about it, and then the rest of the class piled on.

just kidding *hugs*

Yeah well that's cuz doctors are taught to give medication and get rid of the patient ASAP instead of looking for an alternative...

My sister has graduated a year ago and is already thinking about changing career since she wants to take time with every patient and the system just doesn't work that way...

I find this believable but I wouldn't walk away with a career with those type of earnings...try and change from within

Indeed, watched a very interesting video on the subject last weekend.

Problem is, scientists still understand very little about gut bacteria and their role in our overall health...

Very Cool. This is Ed Yong(not not_Yan) discussing his fascinating book "I Contain Multitudes"

The answer is the same for depression issues. Constant bombardment of media. It's impossible to escape, and it's the greatest blessing AND curse of our time.

Nonstop stimulation and information blasted at us at every turn. Who's surprised we're all losing our poop?

This is why I golf and fish...now if I could put HB down for a bit...

gut bacteria is the answer. Microbiome for the dweebs

So we should all eat Activia or whatever that yogurt is?

i mean, i guess it was a bit different when there was no TV and kids spent most of their time trying to avoid things like dysentery and black death

Meh, kids gotta eat dirt dude

That's what I'm telling her as well. She's the type of person who never really knows what she wants and takes forever to make a decision so it should take a while before she makes a move anyway. I'd see her in a private clinic where patients are taken care of better but I think the "private" part goes against her core values so I don't really know what she'll do.

I'll give it a look, thanks.

A lot of the gut biome stuff could be summed up with "eat more fiber and less pure poop and you'll be happier"

I'm probably either "on the spectrum" or ADD/ADHD.... I can't handle huge crowds, if I'm out and about, I'm listening to music because I can't stand all the other background noise... It's hard with the kids, especially when I have one who likes to sing, and whistle, and tap... Drives me nucking futs. I like my alone time, to read, or watch something without listening to 3 other devices going. So I feel ya.

They don't make games like they used to...(frank) that game was rough

Take probiotic supplements. Activia has been sued for false advertisement over their probiotics commercials...

Eating prebiotics is very important indeed (legumes, whole grains, nuts, greens, etc.)

Being a good person and trying to have a career in our modern corporate world is pretty conflicting

I'm the total opposite, I'm ultra focused to a point where I can't hear anything around. Was very useful in school, but when I'm watching TV and my GF talks to me and then gets mad because I'm not noticing, well it's less convenient.

Not all the time but I agree it's getting harder and harder.

When I was a kid the spectrum only found kids on the low end and ignored those who were super advanced at math for example. A lot of kids got missed because teacher's didn't see a problem that needed fixing. I have no kids but otherwise feel very similar to you

*points and laughs*




just kidding *hugs*
- kicksave856

All kidding aside, some teachers are participating in student intimidation. It was a huge problem back then...Don't know how school is today though, hopefully things changed.

it's true, darksyde. he feels a lot like you.

I was mostly kidding although yogurt is great for the gut biome - no idea about Activia specifically

- kicksave856

How do you explain to people you're laughing like an idiot at Oregon Trail memes without losing all their respect?
