the last for today geek note is also from the meatspace version of wired. it seems that these folks have come up with a system that can teach kids with ADD to use a playstation tricked out with biofeedback to teach them to trick their brain into processing acetylcholine properly. In weeks, not years like the rest of us. I tell you this is a big deal. If any of you out there have kids with this type of problem look into it. I firmly solidly and emphatically believe that longterm daily drug dosage is not an good way to deal with this. it is important to have the drugs available for the days where you just can't get it together enough to make a sandwich but most of the time the unpleasant side effects of ADD can easily be controlled with practice and experience. The Major Benefit of this is that all the wonderful things that come with ADD are not obliterated like they are when you are on ritalin or dexedrine.

The bummer is that very few shrinks are willing to write you the scrip for dex or ritalin as an occasional need drug. They still see it a a maintenance drug. Hopefully these types of tools will get some serious study and be accepted in medical journals and help lean doctors toward less drug intensive therapies.

you try going to your local speed dealer and ordering Dex in ten mg capsules. he'll laugh his ass off.
