Are Autism and ADHD Actually Superpowers?
Autism and ADHD are generally considered disabilities for individuals who struggle with these. But according to Donna Redman, those individuals are simply more in tune with their senses — which can be viewed as superpowers! “People with autism, ADD, and ADHD (just to name a few) are often overwhelmed by their senses,” she says. “The problem is, they have so much sensory input that it’s hard to process everyday experiences. This can cause them a lot of stress and, in some cases, great pain.” This led Donna to create the Secret Genius of Sensory Processing Program, which allows neurodiverse children and adults to unlock their hidden genius by using their senses to their advantage.

Veterinarian: How to Keep Animals Safe from Bird Flu
Bird flu is wreaking havoc on the farm industry and has led to millions of dead chickens and thousands of sick cows. It’s also caused an egg shortage and fears are rising about the health risks to humans. Is there any way to help keep the animals we eat safer? Bill Ormston, aka Dr. O, a longtime veterinarian who incorporates holistic remedies into his practice, says chiropractic care can make chickens and other food chain animals much safer to consume. “All animals used for food should be chiropractically adjusted, because it will help make the people who eat it healthier, he says. “I have been instrumental in doing some research studies involving food animals, and this works.” Dr. O has been a veterinarian for more than 36 years, has been adjusting animals for more than 26 years, and is a member of the elite Animal Chiropractic Hall of Fame. He is the author of “Yes! It’s Really a Thing: An Informative Guide to Animal Chiropractic.” Contact Bill Ormston, DVM, at (469) 833-2378; bormston@rtirguests.com

Warning: The American Health Care System Can Kill You!
When UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered by Luigi Mangione, this was a very extreme example of just how fed up are Americans are with the health care system. “The health care system has turned into a money machine,” says Rachel Rappaport. “They scare the sick and are willing to kill people and take away their hope for recovery in exchange for monetary gain. Rachel should know. When her husband was paralyzed from the neck down due to a bicycling accident, she gained first-hand experience when navigating the nightmarish health care system. But she helped him to recover by developing her own set of tools. She is the founder of the success-coaching program MAX!, and has trained with Jack Canfield, co-author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” and well-known motivational coach Tony Robbins.

What May Be the Real Cause of Disruptive Classroom Behavior?
When kids act up and wreak havoc at school, are they just being bad? According to Donna Redman, they may actually be suffering from sensory processing disorders (SPDs), which cause difficulty in detecting, modulating, interpreting, and/or responding to sensory experiences such as sound, touch, vision, and taste. “Sensory processing disorder is a commonly overlooked and misunderstood challenge that often goes undetected, causing significant and unnecessary hardships for kids in the classroom, and adults,” she says. Donna is the founder of the Secret Genius Project, which integrates creativity into helping children and adults to better cope with SPD. “My research has revealed irrefutable evidence of our connection to art, science, and nature, and provides the path to reach down to the core of what compels us toward creativity and self- expression; self-expression is delivered through our senses.” she says.
