Latest Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder controversies Stories
New guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics offer new information on helping doctors diagnose and treat children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
Updated guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offer new information on diagnosing and treating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in younger children and in adolescents.
The Better Hearing Institute is highlighting the relationship between Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and hearing loss in recognition of ADHD Awareness Week, which runs from October
The prescribed use of stimulant medications to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) rose slowly but steadily from 1996 to 2008.
New research indicates millions of children may be misdiagnosed with ADHD, and a sleep expert working with sleep advice website SleepBetter.org is calling for mandatory tests to avoid unnecessary
A study of more than 400 children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder has found a link between the children's routine play settings and the severity of their symptoms.

Perfection? Not being able to use the XBMC interface, add-ons, and core features of XBMC, even if you could access all files and playlists, seems far from perfection. Just get a box that runs XBMC and connect it to your TV. DLNA is a poor replacement for an HTPC.
Why on earth do people even bother with XBMC if they are looking for an entirely different product (a SERVER)? If you want XBMC, use XBMC. If you want DLNA, use a DLNA server.
XBMC UPnP MediaServer to Sony Bravia (TV) DLNA client?

Usha Nangiar's 'Poothana Moksham' was staged in Kochi.
It was a treat to watch Usha Nangiar narrate the story of Poothana with minimal mudras and eloquent facial expressions. Usha, an exponent of Koodiyattam and Nangiarkoothu, performed 'Poothana Moksham' Nangiarkoothu at Vylopilly Samskarika Kendram, Ernakulam, recently.
Her recital was complemented by the brilliant mizhavu recital by V.K.K. Hariharan and team.
The gist of the story is about how Kamsa sends Poothana, a demoness, to Ambady to kill all new born babies, including infant Krishna. Poothana disguises herself as a beautiful woman and sets off on her mission.
Once Poothana reaches Ambady, she is captivated by scenes of daily life she sees there. Usha came up with descriptive narrations of the scenes Poothana sees in Ambady.
However, she soon remembers her task and starts her mission of killing the babies. But then there is a conflict between her mission and her maternal instincts, which was evocatively portrayed by Usha. Finally, Pothana is killed by Krishna.
Evocative narration
During the narration, Usha transformed into various characters on stage. Thus she became the gopikas, the babies, musicians… without losing the thread of the story.
Hariharan was supported by Kalamandalam Rajeev on the mizhavu and Kalanilayam Unnikrishnan on the edakka.
The performance was organised by Bank Employees' Arts Movement, Ernakulam, and Vylopilly Samskarika Kendram.
Keywords: Usha Nangiar, Nangiarkoothu

From the Publisher
"The Reading Specialist has become a staple of reading specialist certification programs nationwide, and in this new edition, Bean offers critical updates. Among other changes, the inclusion of new vignettes of reading specialists working with adolescents and middle/high school teachers mirrors the nationwide focus on adolescent literacy. This book is a key resource for both current and future reading specialists and literacy coaches, and I recommend it for all graduate-level courses addressing the roles of Language Arts professionals."--Jacy Ippolito, EdD, School of Education, Salem State College
"Reading specialists and coaches face many diverse challenges in today's schools. Practicing specialists, as well as those taking coursework to become certified or endorsed, will find this second edition useful and practical. It provides valuable knowledge and tips to help reading specialists achieve success in their varied roles."--Jerry L. Johns, PhD, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus, Department of Literacy Education, Northern Illinois University
"The first edition was excellent, and this new edition is even better! This book has everything you need to take on the challenge of improving reading in your school. With expanded coverage of coaching and up-to-date information on evidence-based practices and RTI, the book shows you how to lead. Indispensable as a text in reading specialist or literacy coach programs, this book is also a 'must have' for current specialists and coaches who want to enhance their effectiveness."--Mariam Jean Dreher, PhD, Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Maryland, College Park
"Bean has done a remarkable job of addressing current issues that affect the role of the reading specialist. She has expanded her discussion of the reading specialist as coach and has included a valuable section on RTI implementation. The beauty of this book is Bean's ability to combine theory with pragmatic 'how-to' strategies. This is a valuable resource for current reading specialists and those entering the field. Because of its many examples of good practice, I would recommend this text as a vehicle for professional development at an individual, school, or district level. It also should be included in university courses devoted to the preparation of reading specialists."--JoAnne Schudt Caldwell, PhD, Literacy and Language Doctoral Program, Cardinal Stritch University

Before my 20 week ultra sound, I had never heard of an Amniotic Band. It's a very rare pregnancy condition and one that was very close to my heart since it posed such a risk to our unborn baby's developmental health. My doctor's were great about keeping an eye on it and thankfully the band never ruptured or got tangled around any of Jillian's body parts. Thank God our little Jillian is OK although we will never have a clear answer if this Amniotic band actually caused the sore on her head. The sore has finally healed and will remain a little scar on the top of her head. Her little scar just makes her all that more special, it will be a constant reminder of what we went through for her just to get here. What a story we have to share with her one day!
You can imagine my surprise when I was watching the Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice Crossover event this week and the main focus was on a procedure involving an unborn baby suffering from an amniotic band wrapped around his legs. The procedure involved actually operating in utero to seperate the band from the baby's legs. Thankfully we never had to even consider this. I hope you had a chance to check out the episode this week, it was a good one and one that was very close to my heart!!
When an ultrasound reveals that amniotic bands are wrapped around the legs of Sloan's baby, Mark summons Addison to perform the surgery. During surgery, Addison estimates that a complication means there's a 5 percent chance that the procedure can kill Sloan, so Mark orders Addison to stop. Sloan insists that she can't take care of a baby with no legs and Mark tells her he won't let that happen.

Everywhere I go
Every single place
The troubles seem to grow
Every smiling face
Eventually frowns with woe
Why can't I do
Anything right
I just screw
Up everything despite
The happiness I try to spew
Is it me
Am I the source of this ache
Does the pain flow free
Is this what I make
People be?
Should I go away and hide
Never to see others
Or the outside
But would I stop another's
Pain and be the only one that ever cried
What is a life with no grey
When everyone is sad
I'd give it all away
It wouldn't be that bad
I would finally be able to say
I saved a life

Side Mirrors - Which Brand is Right for Me?
Not all side mirrors are created with the same quality construction. Inferior products have poorly constructed outer shells, making them prone to stress fractures. Further, the wiring is often insulated poorly, causing cracks in the insulation and creating failures in the electronic operation.
High-quality replacement side mirrors meet or exceed OEM specifications. The right brands, such as TYC, will last MUCH longer than inferior alternatives, and protect the investment made by the vehicle owner.
Thank You Go-Parts for a quality item and fast shipping. I purchased a radiator fan for my wife's car and after price shopping I saved a lot of money using Go-Parts for the same exact fan motor that was made for the car. I will defiantly be a returning customer.

More than 40% of retailers and manufacturers plan to shift volume to East Coast ports on a long-term basis as a result of chronic congestion on the West Coast, according to the findings of a new American Shipper research report.
According to a statement from the port authority, all terminals were operating normally on Thursday.
Inland waterway and port communities urged Congress to use available revenues for water infrastructure investments.
Real time data needed for distributing, marketing, promotional and sales activities, according to the Global Shippers Alliance.
A bipartisan group of former Commerce Department secretaries urged Congress to pass Trade Promotion Authority, which expired back in July 2007.
The latest round of congestion mitigation at the port involves transferring of RTG cranes to Portsmouth terminal.

It's not bad, a few ripped up seats but you know maybe they think it adds some rustic flare to the place. Or not. It's fairly clean... A lot better than others
The popcorn is a tad bit pricey but there's always sainsburys downstairs ;)more
Summary: Adequate, clean theater that provides the latest releases
Comfort: Seats were fairly comfortable. Certainly much better than a lot of theaters I've been to. The slight gradient of the stadium style seating made it easy to pick a good spot and not have to have your neck creak.
Screen Quality and Placement: The screen was fairly sharp and clean, making film viewing an enjoyable...more
So, it's a standard Vue. But I tend to lean more towards the Vues than any other chain. This is the closest cinema to my place of residence, and it is very easily accessible via bus, tube, foot, hoverboard, roller skates, although I can't vouch for parking, as I clearly don't have to park my hoverboard.
Regardless! Movies are £11.50 for standard seating and I believe £13 for VIP. I don't...more

Utility stocks are the top performers of the past month, finding new fans among income investors as the 10-year Treasury approaches 3%. The three biggest holdings in the utilities ETF - Southern (SO), Exelon (EXC) and Dominion Resources (D) - boast dividend yields near 5%, which means utilities are 35% undervalued relative to government bonds, a Barclays analyst says.

"Colors are slightly less vibrant when printed (in comparison to on the screen) but I still love the final product. Excited for our friends and family to receive their announcements!"
"My chosen card design complemented my chosen photos so the colours worked really well together as well as the photo composition. I couldn't be happier with the end product."
"When I ordered my birth announcements I was a little worried about the quality of the photo since I was uploading it from my iPad. When I received the cards, which arrived on the exact day they estimated, I was amazed at how beautiful the cards were. personalizing the cards was very easy and straight forward. Uploading the picture was also very easy. This is something I would definitely do again. These birth announcements turned out perfectly. I recommend this service to everyone!"
"Assuming you have a pic that fits and the baby is leaning away and isn't overly covered by the words on the front...this is such a cute card. The paper was high quality and I'd spring the extra for the rounded corners. Everyone whose received one just loved it."
"very pleased with print quality and thickness of paper, the photo looked very good, background of our photo was mostly white so we changed the text color to blue to match the "welcoming with love" wording, and also moved it to the left side of the card instead of the right. we also customized the back of the card to include a photo with a caption."

Ratio of Magnesium and Calcium?
marylmiNovember 17, 2005
I just had a bone density test on my foot amd I found out I was at "moderate" risk for osteoporosis. I am taking 1200mgs of calcium and 400 mgs of magnesium and wondered if that was enough of magnesium. I had heard that your supposed to take magnesium along with the calcium but couldn't remember just how much. I'm 62 and non-smoker. Thanks.... Mary
Mary, normally it's a 2:1 ratio, twice as much calcium as magnesium. So you would need 600 mgs of Magnesium along with 1200 mgs Calcium. You can also purchase combination Cal/Mag supplements. But read the labels, Calcium Bis-Glycinate, Citrate or Chelate are much better absorbed than Calcium Carbonate. For Magnesium, Magnesium citrate, gluconate and sulfate are the ones the body absorbs best.

Country/Date of Origin: Turkey/1000 BC
This guard dog was developed by shepherds to protect their flocks of sheep from wolves. An ancient breed, depicted in ancient Babylonian sculptures, they have come down through the centuries relatively unchanged. Strict selection for working qualities, type and strength has ensured that the breed is immensely tough and has great stamina. A large numbers of Anatolian Shepherds are still used to guard the flocks in Turkey today. A club was set up in the US in 1970 to promote the interests of the breed. This coincided with an upsurgence in the coyote population in the American West and a movement to use guardian dogs for predator control instead of poison and other methods that had not been effective. The dogs have proven to be cost effective and a more humane way to control predators than indiscriminate poisoning.

Now that fall has officially arrived, we are in my favorite season of the year.
Some people with Medicare are asking lately if their Medicare coverage is affected by the new the Health Insurance Marketplace that starts in 2014.
As I write this column, it's Friday the 13th and this morning a coworker sent out a mass, funny text message about remaining calm, but then warning about all the things not to do on this date.
If you look at the date on this paper, it likely touches off a flurry of memories. Images, perhaps, seared in your memory.
One by one, readers, you have helped us make a huge difference in dealing with a devastating situation.
In July I attended my annual writer conference sponsored by the Romance Writer's Association and this year it was held in balmy Georgia, which was where my first RWA conference was held in 2006. It was fun to return to the peach state a little wiser than my first go-round and with the exciting changes in publishing right now, it was an amazing, vibrant conference.
Hi, my name is Rich and I am an addict.
There were five Wednesdays in July this year and that just makes it seem like it was months ago that my last column appeared.
I admit that when I received the congratulatory notice, it had me fooled. I thought the well-worded email was the lead into a scam informing the recipient they've won an award but would have some sort of out-of-pocket expense to be paid in advance with a product I'd never see. As I read on, I found it was in fact authentic. My screenplay was a "Silver Ace Award" winner at the Las Vegas Film Festival being held July 18-21.
For a few days, the rabbits grazed peacefully inside their cages on the outskirts of our campsite, providing a tranquil harmony with nature as we enjoyed solace where the mountains touched the sky.
By DAVID SAYEN
While it's difficult to find a silver lining with any tragedy, I became aware of a blessing amid the sadness a few weeks ago when I was reunited with cherished individuals who played a significant part in my past law enforcement career during the funeral service of a former patrol partner of mine.
If you don't know by now that I am deeply involved in Relay For Life, you just haven't read my column, in about, 10 years.
My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary.
So there's no way to deny it, I am definitely a sports fan(atic).
With so many quality police shows, dramas, premium channel series, and sports to watch on TV, one of my guilty pleasures of television watching these days is a couple of reality TV shows where I just get to disengage my thinking brain and get to become more of a sarcastic, judging, critical SOB than I already am.
So I am not sure if acrophobia – the fear of heights – or vertigo – a feeling of sudden onset dizziness – are exactly what I experienced, but both seemed to play a role in my recent overnight trip to San Fran.
A few weeks ago Disneyland appeared to be Ground Zero for a measles outbreak that led to 17 identified cases in the US. Since then, at last count, there are now over 120 confirmed cases of measles in the country, possibly due to "satellite" outbreaks as those persons returned home from "The Happiest Place on Earth."
Due to the Monday President's Day Holiday, The Oakdale City Council will hold its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 16.

Kieron Gillen has been placed in charge of relaunching the Young Avengers- bringing in some new life into it with a mix of old and new faces, "music video" fights, and some modern love. From the first six pages you can already tell that you are experiencing something completely worthwhile.
This title oozes with style and delivers a perfect blend of light-heartedness, energy, and hormonal tone to this book that makes every panel and the characters in it shine. Even if you do not know any of the characters who star in this book ( like me), you will still find something to like and/or want to keep reading about them . Whether its the wonderful scene between Kate Bishop and Noh-Var-Marr that transforms into an incredibly entertaining "music video" fight scene, or the loving heart-to-heart conversation between Wiccan and Hulking. Every character has something promising about them that will make you want to keep reading and anxious for the next issue. Kieron Gillen is no stranger to writing teen characters of this ilk. He has a great grasp on what makes a teen character...well a teenager, without the characters coming off as obnoxious interpretations of what being young is like.
McKelvie makes this a phenomenal looking book. Miss America's appearance, despite coming out of nowhere, has an powerful presence on the page with a nicely designed costume to boot, and Wiccan, Nor, and Hulking look even more handsome than Justin Bieber. Kudos to the art team for delivering such an astoundingly good looking book.
Verdict: While this issue does have a little bit of a problem when it comes to pacing, that does not keep Young Avengers #1 from being a great read and one of the more promising Marvel Now titles.

Gitzo Announces Vintage Collection
Gitzo Announces Vintage Collection
From Gitzo:
Vintage Collection
After celebrating in 2007 the 90th anniversary, Gitzo continues to recall the golden ages of photography with an exclusive celebratory Vintage collection. This unique collection consists of two kits and it is dedicated to really affectionate photographers. It is a genuine replica of Gitzo Seventies supports, that in those days, like today the Gitzo 6X carbon fiber tripods, represented the cutting edge and most advanced supports in the market. The Gitzo classic logos, the old style graphics and finishing and the stylish details, make these items the quintessence of history and emotion. From a technical point of view, these tripods are a phenomenal combination of old and new features that makes them incredibly versatile.
The upper casting configuration provides a great compactness and a great stability of the upper disc that sits directly on the large casting top end. The two section telescopic column, a key Gitzo innovation in those days, allows for a convenient height adjustment while maintaining a small foot print. These "old days" smart features are combined to the latest and most advanced Gitzo technologies, like G-Lock, Ground Level Set, Anti Leg Rotation, the new 1,2mm Aluminum tube, Power Disc and PTFE treatment for the heads. Both kits come with a vintage bag, a stylish and well designed carrying solutions which meets Gitzo's tough standards in terms of functionality and attention to details. The bag design and the materials used are inspired to the 60s and 70s golf and sport bags. The classic Gitzo logo enriches and gives an "old fashioned" flavour, consistent with the genuine Gitzo vintage spirit.
The bag shoulder strap can also be used directly on the tripod as a smart carrying solution, embedded in the kit for additional use flexibility. The Vintage tripods are in fact provided with two rings compatible with the shoulder strap clips for a fast and convenient snap-on action. The bag features a side pocket, in genuine vintage style, sized to fit most of compact cameras in the market and any other accessory you might want to carry with you.
The Vintage collection kits are available in Series 1 and 2, four section compact size and include a smart Gitzo display cleaner and a convenient vintage anti dust bag for storage and packing.

Let's face it; we live in a society of rushing, multitasking, and trying to squeeze more and more into our schedules. Do you ever find yourself eating a meal in the car, in front of the TV, or at your desk? Right after your done eating, do you still feel hungry? Do you remember what you ate? Mindless munching can be part of your daily routine and you may not even know it.
Paying attention to how you eat is just as important as paying attention to what you eat. Certain messages such as sensation of taste and satisfaction occur during eating, but when mindless eating is takes place; your brain may not receive these messages. As a result, your brain sends additional signals of hunger out, which can lead to health problems such as digestive distress, overeating and obesity.
Mindful eating means eating with awareness or awareness of the experience of eating. You can achieve this by paying close attention to what you're eating and stopping when you're full.
Take a moment and enjoy your food. For dinner, try Vegetarian Sloppy Joe or Fettuccine Alfredo, and since they are easy to make, use the extra time to sit down and enjoy your meal. The appropriate portion size will help you decide when to stop. If you are really in a hurry, don't put just anything in your mouth; take something nutritious with you. Grab a Crisp n' Crunch Cinnamon or Fudge Graham nutrition bar; they have enough nutrients to replace a meal and, since they're ready to eat, they are the perfect grab and go treat.
Carrying extra weight can impair your immune system and make it harder for your body to fight off infections. Keep these tricks in mind to weather the season change and boost your immune system.
Get regular exercise: Getting your heart rate up for just 20 minutes three times a week can help increase immune function, improve your sense of well being and sleep quality. If the cold weather is stopping you from an outdoor jaunt, take a trip to the local mall (sans shopping) to walk the concourse.
Eat brightly color fruits and veggies: Vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and zinc—found in many bright colored fruits and vegetables—can help neutralize free radicals so they can't damage cells.
Get adequate sleep: You're more likely to catch a cold or other infection when you're not getting enough sleep, so make sure you're getting enough—usually 7 to 9 hours for an adult.
Get connected: Studies show that people who have strong social networks and feel connected to friends have stronger immunity than those who feel alone. Nurture your relationships, make new ones, and re-connect with friends you haven't seen in a while to boost your mind, body, and spirit.
Have a knee-slapping good time: Laughing—or anticipating a funny event—can decrease levels of stress hormones and increase white blood cells that fight infection. So get together with friends and family and have a great time!
Have you made being active a habit? If not – it's time to! When something becomes a habit, it can be hard to change (which is what makes turning unhealthy habits in healthy ones so hard). But, starting new, healthy habits takes time, patience, practice, and about three months of repetition, according to experts.
During this time, and even after, slip ups are inevitable. Instead of feeling guilty or angry, work to overcome the barriers and get back on track. One way to do this is to plan for them in advance. Sit down and come up with a list of possible barriers – and solutions to these barriers – so that if they happen, you're prepared. For example:
Barrier: I might be too busy.
Solution: My back-up plan will be to break up my normal routine into two shorter periods of activity that I can do throughout the day.
Barrier: I might get bored.
Solution: I'll continuously change the playlist on my mp3 player to keep it fresh; I'll enlist a friend or neighbor to join me in my activity.
Barrier: It might rain.
Solution: I'll buy a good rain jacket; I'll use a DVD or exercise equipment in front of my TV when the weather is bad.
If you encounter a situation that isn't on your list of barriers – stay calm, think out the problem, and come up with a solution, or leave a comment in the box below to see if someone has any suggestions. And remember, you can always turn to a friend, family member, or your counselor for help.
Labor Day is considered by many to be the end of the summer and is marked with one last get-together with friends and family before it's back-to-school and the Autumn grind catches up to us. Most of these gatherings will be barbeques, where the tables are filled to the brim with food.
As a dieter, navigating through the food could be difficult, but here are some ways to keep your diet in mind while enjoying the holiday.
Be a snacker: Some do not like to eat before going to a barbeque so that they can maximize the amount of food they are able to eat once they get there. However, this can lead to overeating during your next meal. Before you go, eat a nutritious snack (think high protein snack for satiety) before you go.
Pile on the produce: Even if you have a burger or a hot dog, try using vegetables like zucchini, cucumbers, or sautéed mushrooms as toppings. And for dessert, instead of the cake or water ice, grab a fruit bar or a fruit pop. You will be adding flavor to your meal without the unneeded calories.
Watch what you drink: Drinks like soda and beer are popular, but unfortunately they add a lot of calories to your meal. Instead, replace these drinks with water, especially if you are outside all day in the heat and need something to be properly hydrated.
Keep portion size in mind: Don't fill your plates with high-calorie pasta and potato salads, sides, and more. Make sure half your plate is of the fruit and vegetable variety!
Don't be afraid to bring a healthy dish of your own, at the very least you are providing a healthy alternative for not only yourself but to your friends and family as well. If you have a dish in mind or other healthy Labor Day tips, leave a comment in the box below.
All You Can Eat. For many, a restaurant with that phrase attached is a delight, but for a dieter or someone who is watching what their eating, that phrase can be a panic-inducing nightmare. So how can you go to one of these places that is seemingly designed with overeating in mind and not break your diet? Use the tips below:
Use smaller plates and keep portions in mind: For many of us, we're conditioned to fill our plate to the brim and then eat until our plate is clean. Doing this throws portion control out the window. Use a smaller plate and keep portion sizes in mind. Here's what a serving size looks like.
Don't Look!: When sitting down, looking at the food can make it more tempting to get up and get more. Instead, face away from the food, engage in conversation, and take your mind away (at least for a little bit) from grabbing another round.
Choose Wisely: Having a good diet is about making the right decisions. Take a stroll around the buffet before you grab any food so you know what the choices are, where the healthier options like salad and fruit are so you can start there. Knowing your options will allow you to negotiate what you will have and what you'll be abstaining from.
Remember, moderation is key to a good diet. Once moderation is lost, that's where overindulgence begins. Keep this as well as the other tips in mind the next time you go to the buffet, it may be the difference between being content with your meal, or having the regret that comes with knowing you have eaten too much.
If you have any other ideas for keeping your diet feel free to leave a comment in the box below.
Jim Carpenter weighed 518 pounds when he started the NutriMed™ program in October 2011. Twenty months later, people who have not seen him in awhile aren't sure if it's really him.
In late 2011, Dublin, Ohio native Jim Carpenter weighed an astonishing 518 pounds. He was suffering from congestive heart failure, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stage one kidney failure, neuropathy of the legs and feet, water retention, bad knees, and balance issues. He wore size 60 pants and 7X shirts.
For Jim, everyday tasks were a struggle. Walking from his bedroom to the living room would leave him out of breath and gasping for air. Going grocery shopping was a chore; he would often have to sit and rest midway through the grocery list. Often times, his knees could not support his weight and he could not lift himself out of chairs. At those moments, Jim relied on his wife of 35 years, Susie Carpenter, to help him get up.
"We had the routine down pat to draw the least amount of attention from others around me," says Jim.
He was reluctant to go to restaurants or visit friends for fear of sitting in a chair and breaking it. Going up stairs became harder and harder without help. At 6' 3" and 518 pounds, Jim could barely fit in the driver's seat of his sport utility vehicle.
"The seat belt was pulled out to its maximum length and fastening it was a chore," he says. "My stomach interfered with the steering wheel making it difficult to steer. I could not turn my head very far side to side to see if it was clear to make a turn."
Jim always had weight issues. As a child, he considered himself to be "husky," but he was active outdoors and played sports and that helped keep his weight in check. After high school, he joined the Army and the rigorous routine of military service virtually guaranteed his weight would not be an issue. However, once he was out of the Army and 21 years old, Jim got married and noticed his weight was steadily increasing. In the ensuing years, he became progressively more apathetic about his weight.
When he hit 370 pounds, Jim's doctor put him on the prescription diet pill Fen-Phen. He lost 105 pounds, but was advised by his doctor to stop when it was discovered there were potential serious medical issues with the medication. Jim had not learned how to eat properly or make lifestyle changes while on the Fen-Phen diet and gained the weight back in two years.
"I was surprised each time I went to the doctor to discover I had gained more weight," he says. I gave up after I hit 400 pounds. I thought I was too old and too far gone to do anything about it. I had accepted the fact that this was who I was and how I was going to be."
Seemingly defeated, Jim did not give diet, exercise, or nutrition a second thought.
"I would eat when I wanted, anything I wanted and as much as I wanted," he says. "I did not understand how to eat healthy. I did not count carbohydrates, calories, or protein and what affect each had on my weight. It was a free for all when it came to food. If it tasted good, I would eat it, as much as I wanted, whenever I wanted."
As a result of his unchecked diet, Jim gained about 50 pounds a year, reaching a pinnacle of 518 pounds. When he reached his mid-50s, he had simply thrown in the towel. He suffered from numerous, life-threatening comorbidities. His family doctor, who had treated him for diabetes, high blood pressure and several other serious medical conditions for a decade, had hit a roadblock. "One day he told me he had taken me as far as he could with treatment of my diabetes and other health issues and referred me to an endocrinologist," says Jim.
Jim was referred to Dr. Jennifer Rittenberry at the Diabetes & Endocrinology Center of Ohio (DECO). Once a month, he would meet with Dr. Rittenberry or Deanna Merrill, PA-C, CDE, for treatment. They prescribed Jim a strong dose of insulin called U-500, which is commonly used for patients who need more than 200 units of insulin a day in managing their diabetes. In Jim's case, one unit of U-500 was the equivalent of five units of regular insulin.
"After a few months Dr. Rittenberry asked me if I had heard of the new weight loss program they were involved in called DECO's Healthy Living Program by NutriMed™ using a meal replacement plan," says Jim. "She went on to tell me how the program worked and the benefits of losing some weight. I listened to the good doctor and told her I was not interested."
NutriMed, a medically supervised Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) program developed by Robard Corporation, emphasizes nutrition, behavior, and exercise re-education for patients with over 40 pounds to lose.
Despite Jim's initial reluctance to the plan, Dr. Rittenberry and Merrill were persistent. During a subsequent visit, Dr. Rittenberry told Jim about a man who lost over 100 pounds on the plan and how well he was doing.
"I wanted to know how old this man was and she told me he was in his 50s," recalls Jim. "This blew my theory that I was too old to lose that kind of weight. My wife and I talked it over and decided to begin the program together and support each other and see if we could lose some weight. We started the NutriMed program on October 5, 2011."
Initially, he was skeptical, but hopeful. He was giving the NutriMed plan, as he describes it, "a half-hearted attempt."
"If I could lose enough weight to lessen my risk of heart failure or stroke, I would be happy," says Jim. "I did not think I could lose a large amount of weight but knew any loss would improve my health and quality of life. I took a 'wait and see attitude.'"
In spite of his "wait and see attitude," Jim saw an almost immediate improvement in his health.
"The very first day of the program, I was told to stop taking the oral meds for diabetes and dramatically reduce the amount of insulin I was taking. I was very leery of this because I knew insulin was my lifeline and without it my life was at risk. I was told to monitor my sugar reading and I would be amazed with the results. They were right; within the first week my glucose levels were dropping daily and were soon under control without all the medication."
Still, he was skeptical. But, a month and a half after starting the program, during a Thanksgiving visit with family in Kentucky, Jim's "half-hearted attempt" to lose weight took a more serious turn.
There are moments in life when a person has an "epiphany" — an enlightening, sudden realization that allows them to view a problem or situation from a new and deeper perspective. In November 2011, Jim Carpenter understood that he was dangerously overweight. The comorbid conditions brought on by his excessive weight were mounting; he was suffering from congestive heart failure, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stage one kidney failure, and more. His family doctor had hit a roadblock and referred him to an endocrinologist. Yet, despite all of this, Jim hadn't fully accepted the level of seriousness and commitment he would need to reverse his perilous path. That is, until he stood before seven steps at his aunt and uncle's house in Kentucky. That was when Jim had what he calls his "A-HA Moment."
"I had been on the program for a month and a half when my wife and I decided to spend Thanksgiving with family in Kentucky. My aunt and uncle hosted family at their house for Thanksgiving dinner. They live on a hill and there are seven steps leading to the front porch and door. I could not get up the steps. My sister and uncle came out to help my wife but I was too heavy and my knees and legs would not my support me. My uncle said to come around to the back door because there were only three steps into the house. I could not get up the three steps. My wife pushed me from behind while my sister and uncle pulled me from the side and I was finally able to get in the house. I thought I would die of embarrassment. I have a very loving family and my uncle said to me, 'Don't worry, Jim, I will build a ramp off the back porch so the next time you come you can walk up the ramp.' No one in my family needs a ramp to get in the door, but he was going to build one for me so I could get in his house whenever I visited two or three times a year. I said, 'Don't do that yet. Let me work on it.' That was when I decided to get serious about my weight issues and do something about it."
Reeling from the embarrassment, Jim threw himself into the program. He quickly came to the realization that perhaps it wasn't as hard as he had thought.
"One of the best things I like about the program is the ease of it. I didn't have to count calories, use a point system, or do a lot of meal planning. Drink the shakes, eat the nutrition bar and have a sensible dinner. I like to tell the staff at DECO about my weight loss, 'It was easy, you told me what to do and I did it.' I know there is more to it than that, but it really is that basic. With a little willpower and effort, the program works."
By December of 2011, he went to a family Christmas party and people were asking him if he had lost weight. He had lost 50 pounds, and his clothes were fitting better.
"It was a good feeling to have people notice," he recalls.
Improvements in Jim's health were gradual. He didn't feel bloated all of the time, the pain in his knees lessened, and his legs didn't swell. He began sleeping better, and his mobility was getting better. Perhaps most importantly, his motivation was skyrocketing.
"When I realized I could fit in the driver's side of our SUV was a big deal," he says. "My stomach did not hang over the steering wheel — the seat belt fit like it was meant to. These things boosted my desire to continue and work hard on the program to see what I could accomplish."
In addition, having his wife Susie in the NutriMed program with him has been an undeniable benefit. "It really helps to have a partner in the program because we support and encourage each other," says Jim. "When I start to waiver and give up, my wife picks me up and motivates me and I do the same for her. We are doing this for ourselves and each other and in the end we know we will enjoy a better life together."
As time went on, Jim embraced the NutriMed program more and more. In addition to meal replacement products ("The products are great!" he says. "I did not have that empty feeling and belly growling as with other diets."), exercise, and sheer motivation, the staff at DECO placed a heavy emphasis on NutriMed's educational and behavior modification tools. By educating him on how to change his thought process and make the right choices, DECO guided Jim to make concrete lifestyle changes that he needed to properly manage his weight.
"Continued education is the cornerstone of the program," he says. "One major distinction between the NutriMed program and the others is not only did I lose a large amount of weight, I have learned some of the reasons why I was overweight, when I am most vulnerable to temptation, how to overcome that temptation, and be successful in keeping the weight off."
At his peak weight of 518 pounds, Jim was not able to do any exercises. After he had lost roughly 75 pounds, the staff at DECO gave him an education module on exercising. He started slowly, performing "Sit Down Workouts" in which he sat in a chair and lifted his legs one at a time in a marching motion. He would also lift his arms over his head and try to touch his toes.
"Any movement is exercise and any exercise is good for you and will help you lose weight," says Jim, paraphrasing a line from the education module.
"I was still losing weight and got to the point I wanted to take it to the next level," he continues. "I wanted to walk to the mailbox and back. Our mailbox is one-tenth of a mile away. I knew I had to take baby steps over a period of time to make this goal. My wife and I started out to check the mail and I could only walk a very short distance. I would lean against a tree while she walked to the mailbox and joined her on the way back to our apartment. Every couple of days I would increase the distance I could walk. It took about 10 days before I was able to walk the one-tenth of a mile to the mailbox and back. That was a big day for me on my journey."
Jim and Susie started going to local Metro Parks that have hiking trails. They started with a quarter mile trail and quickly started to tackle the one mile trails. Currently, they are able to walk three miles a day. At the end of July 2013, they participated in their first 5K walk to benefit breast cancer awareness in honor of Jim's mother, a breast cancer survivor, and his aunt who passed away from the same disease.
"For me to be able to do that is huge," says Jim. "It all started with me wanting to walk to the mailbox and back."
As of July 2013, Jim Carpenter weighed in at 227 pounds. The man who had once been reluctant to go to restaurants or visit friends for fear of sitting in a chair and breaking it had lost an astonishing 290 pounds in 20 months. He has been able to eliminate all oral diabetes medications, stop all insulin shots, discontinue his blood pressure and kidney medications, and greatly reduce his cholesterol medication. He is currently in the maintenance phase of the NutriMed program.
"People who have not seen me in awhile are stunned," says Jim. "They tend to look at me like they are not sure if it's really me. Then they tell me how good I look and ask how I did it and if I had the lap band surgery. When I explain it was done with diet and exercise they always want to hear more about the program. When I'm out in public or at a store shopping I blend in with the crowd, people look at me like I'm just a normal guy. I no longer feel like everyone is looking at me because of my size."
More importantly, Jim has a new life ahead of him — one of joy, success and promise.
"My quality of life has improved in every way possible. I'm able to get out and enjoy life, and do things I could not do before, like spend quality time with my wife and family members. I feel like I am in control of my weight and health issues — my weight and health issues are not in control of me. Because of the DECO Healthy Living Program/NutriMed Weight Loss Program, life is good."
If you think a gym workout offers your only regular chance to exercise, you need to explore the everyday opportunities to sneak more physical activity into your life. Try to incorporate even a few ideas into your daily or weekly schedule to boost your activity level.
