Philip has problems learning

Philip can not learn

This morning Juergen took Philip to a clinic in Heidelberg to see if we can get him detoxified from heavy metal poisoning. We had an independent lab test his metal levels. He has 4times as much Mercury as is “normal”. The Heidelberg Doctors tested Philips development and said He is way behind, and in basically every area (a Universal delay). He also has some reflex problems, pointing to a neurological cause. They do not believe in metal problems, and will not detoxify him. Jessica has an appointment with an autism specialist next month. This Doctor treats the biomedical causes of autism, including metal poisoning. She has agreed to see Philip too. Juergen and I are both sad and discouraged. We don’t really know what to do. Philip would fail first grade if they had pass or fail grades for the first grade. He can not read, and still needs to use his fingers or some other aid to do the math (he does not memorize anything). He is really discouraged, and has begun to act up in class. We need help!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
