That is so great. As a program specialist that kind of report is what I live for. Congratulations on all your success. You worked hard for it. I just want to encourage you in a couple of areas.
1) Dore makes permanent pathways or develops real neurons in the brain but you must put traffic on them with a stimulating and active lifestyle. Otherwise there are times when the body undergoes life change (puberty, menapause) or great stress and these pathways that are not being used will be disposed of.
2) Dore is not a silver bullit. It takes care of a great deal of the problem but there is more development to do. This is why people who go on to do sensory work with programs like My Sensory Solutions and other programs keep seeing more results.
Rebecca's son did Dore and had great improvement. But on My Sensory Solutions we saw even more development. He started responding more socially, picking up those social cues and making friends more. He is now not on the outside of the group in school. He really participates in conversations now and he is not talking loudly anymore. He controls his volume of music by himself because he doesn't need to play it as loud. He is more independent. And lots of other things. He went down to one med with Dore now he is on no meds. The more we stimulate and the more we exercise the more we feed the brain. Dore is just the beinging. But what a great begining it is. Olga

Anne, congratulations on the award!! I was so happy to see that!! I'll check in, too. My son, age 13, finished Dore in winter 2007, and he's still doing great! The progress he made on the program has stayed with him. No medication, no social or academic problems. He talks about when he "used to have ADHD." We both really believe Dore cured him. If anyone is still out there deciding whether it's worth it to start or continue, it is!! The benefits are significant and lasting! Celeste

Rebecca -- thanks for checking in. It's Anne here. My now 14 year old son stopped (unofficially) Dore in January after 17 months on the program. We wish so much that we could have seen it through to the end, but are very pleased with what we have accomplished. Tonight my son is graduating from 8th grade. He received the "Most improved student award" -- an award chosen by his teachers! We were thrilled, to say the least! He also has been placed in all honors sections for his freshman year, again, a surprise to us. He has also been chosen to be a counselor in training for 7 weeks at a local Boy Scout Camp. I have no doubts that this has been made possible by the Dore program. I just wish there were a way to contact Jan and Brooke -- our program specialists in Schaumburg -- to let them know and to thank them. Please stay with it, even though it's a struggle. By the way, I was asked to talk informally about the program to a school psychologist
recently -- I could see her eyes glaze over and feel her "Yeah, sure, that's a good one" attitude as I described Dore. Thanks to all of you on line for your support. I love to hear your stories, struggles and successes! Anne

was able to lower most of his medication and remove several. I am so glad I discovered Dore for the changes it made in both of us. It was well worth the time and effort. I never dreamed he would be able to get his drivers license and now he has it. > > > > Who is next?...tell us who about yourself and how you are doing on Dore. > > > > Thanks, > > Rebecca > > > > > > > > > > > EMAILING FOR THE GREATER GOOD > Join me >
