My late wife was a teacher for over thirty years mostly in high school. During that time she saw many cases of both hyperactive and non hyperactive ADD in students and often was able to work with parents to help them address these issues.

Iconic images of medieval pilgrims, such as Chaucer's making their laborious way to Canterbury, conjure a distant time when faith was the only refuge of the ill and infirm and thousands traveled great distances to pray for healing. Why, then, in an age of advanced biotechnology and medicine, do millions still go on pilgrimages?
