This group will be the polar opposite of Glen Beck style crazy. The nation faces real issues and needs real solutions. Not more smoke and mirrors for …

My inspiration for forming this group comes from observing my partner, who has MS, walking normally on rare occasions. Science and medicine cannot explain how she manages to have done it, but they know why she needs assistance for the rest of the day. Their explanation is that nerves have lost their ability to conduct signals. They focus on damage control. I am more concerned about those nerves that found a way to conduct signals - and at no cost for expensive drugs. Join me in exploring how the …

We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …

I have been searching in vain for well over a year now for a group to join that homeschools without strings. No religious commitment, no participation requirements, no specific learning style... No rules. That's why I've started Seattle Homeschoolers for the Sake of Homeschooling. Just parents getting together with kids who are home schooled. I know how hard it can be to be a homeschooling parent, and how busy it is. I also know everyone does it a little different. I think that's fine. And I thi …
