Open House Scheduled for February 4th, 10am-1pm.
Everyone is invited to attend our Whole Child Wellness Open House, scheduled for February 4th. This is a great opportunity to get to know the hemispheric balancing program a little better, meet the doctor and brain coaches, and tour the facility. Dr. Flemming will host 2 one hour lectures, scheduled for 10am and 12pm, on nutrition and ADHD.
All attendees can try out the metronome and see first hand why it is so successful, learn some simple ways to stimulate a particular hemisphere of the brain, and take home tips they can start with their children that day! This is a floating open house, so you may spend as much or as little time as you like getting to know the program.
Questions? Please contact us at staff.drflemming@embarqmail.com, or 252-638-2215.

2011 Coats for Kids Drive
Coats for Kids is in it's 17th year at the office of Dr. Lois Flemming. This is a project that is near and dear to all of our hearts. Over the years, thanks to the generous spirit of our patients and the community, we have collected over 1000 new winter coats and over $5000 in cash for the foster children of Craven County.
This year, we set a goal of 150 coats. We are half-way through our drive (last day for collections is Friday, Dec. 16th), and we are not even close to 150 coats. I know the economy has us all tightening our purse strings, and the drive is not over yet, but I am getting anxious that we will not be able to provide coats to all the foster children as we have in the past. I would like to encourage you all to consider making a contribution to this wonderful charity.
Coats for Kids is great way to give to our community.

School ADHD Resource Kits are now available.
Whole Child Wellness is supporting our kids, and the local school system, by providing ADHD Resource Kits to Elementary Schools. These kits contain great resources for teachers and parents, to help them understand the ADHD brain and give them tools and techniques to enhance learning. The exercises contained in these kits are great for all learners, not just those with neurobehavioral disorders, and our hope is that teachers will implement a few of these techniques in their classrooms every day.
Some of the items contained in each kit:
"Disconnected Kids"- written by the founder of The Brain Balance Center. (This book is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning more about brain balancing.)
Cross-body movement exercises to improve reading skills.
Explanation of right and left brain functions.
Easy tests to determine lateral dominance.
Behavioral and learning evaluations.
Cognitive exercises to improve logic, reasoning, calculation and planning.
Eye tracking exercises to help with tracking words while reading.
Nutritional evaluation sheets to help determine food intolerance's.
Sensory stimulation to promote right or left brain function.
Lot's of literature explaining why the ADHD brain learns differently.
E.O.G. brain boosting exercises........and much, much more!
Ask your child's teacher if they have an ADHD Resource Kit and if they are implementing it in the classroom. If your school does not have a kit and is interested in receiving one, please contact us at staff.drflemming@embarqmail.com .

Expected Child Behaviors
The Whole Child Wellness program quite often makes recommendations to parents regarding dietary changes. We perform a comprehensive IgG food allergy test before we list specific foods a child needs to avoid. Successfully making the recommended dietary changes requires diligence and patience, and are a necessary evil, vital to resolving the child's brain imbalance.
Chicken nuggets, pizza, chips, bread, cereal, ice cream, macaroni and cheese. This is just a sampling of the foods that kids love and want to eat all the time. It can be a daunting task to cut these offending foods out of your child's diet. Parents struggle to find nutritious, healthy foods their child will actually eat, and quite often, the children backslide and become irritable, hyper or super-sensitive, seem fatigued or even experience headaches and nausea. These are the physical withdrawal symptoms presented as the child goes through detox. Similar symptoms occur in adults who quit smoking and go through nicotine withdrawal, or stop caffeine and go through caffeine withdrawal. It is important to note that in susceptible children, the protein components in milk (casein) and wheat (gluten/gliandin) can form a morphine-like chemical that their bodies have adapted to. When you take that chemical out of the body, the body will have physical withdrawal symptoms similar to that of a drug addict.
Most parents look at these behaviors as negative things, equating them with side effects from medications which are bad for you and last as long as you take the medication. We here at Whole Child Wellness look at these side effects as a positive sign. A sign that the body is detoxing, eliminating the offending substance. We know that this backslide into negative behaviors is temporary, short lived, and a necessary sign of healing within the brain.
