Judith Warner Q and A: Kids, Medications, Pesticides and ADHD
By Mary Winter - Politics DailyA nationwide study linking Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children and exposure to pesticides from fruits and vegetables has fired up moms in the blogosphere. "I need to buy more organically. Especially the fruits my kids eat," wrote Tylersmommy at www.momslikeme. "I DO, however, soak ALL produce in water with baking soda, then I rinse it. Started doing this after suggested by MamaP & am so glad that I do." In the study, researchers who measured the level of pesticide byproducts in the urine of 1,139 children found that those with above-average levels "had roughly twice the ...
Study: Pot Smoking Increases Risk of Psychosis
By Katie Drummond - AOL News(March 1) -- Before Mike Stultz even ate breakfast, the 17-year-old would start his morning by smoking a joint -- only to bump up with a few hits of marijuana every few hours throughout the day. One year later, he was pulled out of college after suffering from a hallucinatory breakdown. Stultz had become convinced that his life was playing out on a reality television show, complete with hidden cameras and actors playing his family members, friends and doctors. "I would go see the psychiatrist and be thinking the entire time about what I could do to make good TV," he recalls. Now 24, Stultz ...

Code Breaker: My Health Coverage Depends on the Kindness (and Sharp Eyes) of Strangers
By Lizzie Skurnick - Politics DailyI'll say one thing about my current quest to get my insurer to honor my out-of-network claims: It has been apropos. I first received a denial-of-claim notice from CareFirst the night of President Obama's health care speech to the nation. Now, as reform legislation groans, like a creaky ship, through the first of many locks, it seems I might have found the solution. ...
Psychological Illness in Congress
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyCongress is presently set to consider H.R. 1424, the Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act. The Democrat-sponsored bill would compel private employers to provide health care coverage for mental illnesses. No problem there, it would seem - but, the devil is in the details. In a typical show of liberal all-inclusiveness, the act would have the absurd effect of covering such "mental disorders" as: - Caffeine intoxication; - Sibling relational problem; - Substance-induced sexual dysfunction; - Gender identity disorder; - Necrophilia; - Transvestic fetishism; ...
