Author and commentator Dave Zirin gives his thoughts on sports talk radio, and examines the frequently rocky relationship between sports and politics.

—–

Dave Zirin discusses “Welcome to the Terrordome: The Pain, Politics, and Promise of Sports.”

Dave Zirin is at the crossroads of a sports culture that celebrates bling and the multi-million-dollar endorsements, and a political culture loathe to recognize, let alone help, the millions of Americans battling poverty and oppression.

This eagerly anticipated follow-up to Zirin’s “What’s My Name Fool’” grapples with this cultural contradiction. - Cody’s Books

Dave Zirin is the author of “What’s My Name, Fool’: Sports and Resistance in the United States.” He is a sports commentator for Air America and XM Radio’s ‘On the Real’ with Chuck D and Gia’na Garel.

Zirin’s writing has appeared in THE SOURCE, Common Dreams, The College Sporting News, basketball.com, alternet, The Black Sports Network, Counterpunch, Dodgers Dugout, sports-central.org, The San Fransisco Bay View, Z-Net, The International Socialist Review, War-Times, Z-Magazine and The Afro-American.

ADHD natural remedy - Herbal remedy for ADHD - ADHD natural treatment
Over the years many attempts have been made to find natural therapies for ADHD in order to avoid the use of stimulants such as Ritalin. Very little research has been done in this area since the medical profession has focused their attention almost exclusively on the use of stimulant drugs. It does seem probable that some nutrients or herbal remedies could eventually be found to be helpful. Some herbal remedies used in ADHD include ginkgo biloba and St. John’s wort. Here’s a research abstract on ADHD herbal remedy.

Effect of the herbal extract combination Panax quinquefolium and Ginkgo biloba on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: a pilot study.
J Psychiatry Neurosci. 2001 May;26(3):221-8. Oceanside Functional Medicine Research Institute, Nanaimo, BC.

A combination herbal product containing American ginseng extract, Panax quinquefolium, (200 mg) and Ginkgo biloba extract (50 mg) (AD-FX; CV Technologies, Edmonton, Alta.) was tested for its ability to improve the symptoms of ADHD. AD-FX capsules were taken twice a day on an empty stomach for 4 weeks. Patients were instructed not to change any other medications during the study. After 2 weeks of the ADHD herbal remedy treatment, the proportion of the subjects exhibiting improvement ranged from 31% for the anxious-shy attribute to 67% for the psychosomatic attribute. After 4 weeks of treatment, the proportion of subjects exhibiting improvement ranged from 44% for the social problems attribute to 74% for the Conners’ ADHD index and the DSM-IV hyperactive-impulsive attribute. Five (14%) of 36 subjects reported adverse events, only 2 of which were considered related to the study medication. These preliminary results suggest AD-FX treatment may improve symptoms of ADHD and should encourage further research on the use of ginseng and Ginkgo biloba extracts to treat ADHD symptoms.

Comments: It may be preferable at first to just try one herb for a few weeks before adding another one. The combination of herbal remedy with pharmaceutical medication may be unpredictable. We suggest using the herbal remedy by itself, not in combination with ADHD drugs.

In 1988, several classes from the Western PA School for the Deaf took a field trip to downtown Pittsburgh. The purpose of the field trip was to experience as many forms of transportation the city had to offer.
At that time, WPSD was a total communication school and the teachers used both voice and sign language to communicate with the students.
