fetus winning: Charlie Sheens' Twins

Charlie Sheen, in your mind, you have been an optimistic winner for months now since being fired from the show "Two and a Half Men," getting better reactions to your tour, and having spread that affection for winning under some pretty dire circumstances using some very shocking methods. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/charlie-sheen-to-take-chicago-stage-after-detroit-opener-fails-to-find-winning-formula-119150009.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+winnipegViaDr_bobInGoogleReader+%28%22Winnipeg%22+via+Dr_Bob+in+Google+Reader%29&utm_content=Twitter

You, Charlie won't give up and it is this attitude that matches mine. I also won't give up, even if it takes shocking measures, which showcase that I am in the position to save babies from Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. (Without the tiger blood.)

So I'm going to talk about babies - your twins to be exact - in a message that I want to reach everyone with. I know you are listening Charlie. You have the power to reach out to pregnant women way farther and in incredibly higher numbers in an instant, than I have in the last 6 years. Therefore we go directly to the womb and examine your two great twin boys.

Since my aim is to cut the FASD incidence rate at least in half, I am here with you and your twins to remind people of a dangerous practice: misdiagnosing FASD when in fact other birth defects can easily mimic FASD.

The full syndrome, which requires alcohol consumption during pregnancy, always reveals these 3 specific characteristics: narrowed eyes that give the appearance of widely spaced eyes, a smooth philtrum (area between nose and lip), and a thin upper lip. Example:

Other characteristics include:

Flat Forehead
Flat Midface
Pointed Chin
Short Nose
Minor Ear Anomalies
Low Nasal Bridge
Epicanthal Foldes (folds over eyes beside nose)

Now let's look at your twin boys, Max and Bob, as shown (Max on left):

So does Bob, on the right, have FASD? That is the question and it appears that he does show the 3 specific characteristics. But we need to be careful here, Charlie, because there are factors that could change a lot of people's minds when they read what's coming. So don't panic just yet.

First off, all assumptions are off the table no matter what the media reveals about yours and Brook's addictive past. Any woman who is addicted to alcohol can still stop drinking for nine months. So let's go to the professionals, shall we?

It's time to introduce, to you Charlie, the 4-Digit Diagnostic Code and the Hoyme Diagnostic Guidelines for FASD, by S.J. Astley from the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington and H. Eugene Hoyme, MD, Department of Pediatrics, respectively. (Permission on Website to share.)

Using the 4-Digit Diagnostic Code and the Hoyme Diagnostic Guidelines, out of 952 patients who had recieved the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders diagnostic evaluation, only 17 had met the criteria for both systems.

So just looking at a baby's face teaches diddlysquat to the average layman. We can now observe the danger in PRESUMPTION. Only qualified diagnostic technicians can tell you whether or not the syndrome exists, otherwise, it is nothing more than a guess or an assumation. So stop it you Beast's who malpractice. Everyone listen up:

Professionals from multiple disciplines (medicine, psychology, speech-language, pathology, occupational therapy, etc.) are needed to accurately assess and interpret the broad array of outcomes that define the diagnosis of any FASD umbrella syndrome. The pattern and severity of outcome is frequently confounded by other adverse prenatal and postnatal exposures and events, such as a woman who has been pumping gas for four months and then realizes she is pregnant. The gas fumes could very well have given her fetus a birth defect of some nature, seen or unseen at birth. Therefore, in diagnosing, it is crutial to eliminate all mimicking diseases, syndromes or conditions before any real diagnosis is of any merit whatsoever.

In the case of your wife Brooke, Charlie, she did have pre-existing health problems, which of course I will not go into, of which she was forced into early delivery in order to save herself and the boys at the same time (Nice work you girl, Brooke.) It was an outstanding juggling act, a feat by doctors to keep all alive and safe.

Considering this, you can see two boys who have made remarkable recoveries. They are catching up biologically, so to speak, to their peers because if you were to look at all the symptoms of the facial diagnosis for FASD, we should first assume that Brooke and Charlie have two very healthy children without FASD. In the famous ET Interview, the twins not only looked healthy but are also doctor-approved healthy in what showed also to confirm two loving and caring parents in you, Charlie, and Brooke. I can't forget about Grandpa Sheen. I recall from the ET interview, once Martin got a hold of the boys he wouldn't give them back.

So Charlie, when you see this, you can disregard the tons of hateful news and tabloid explanations about who they all think you and Brooke are, which you do anyway, and give up a piece of your warlock self and become a pillar of strength for the protection of pregnant women in perhaps some future rant to save babies from FASD.

When the fetus speaks, I listen and then I'm winning in my rants to save babies. Why don't you hop aboard your plane, fly up to Vancouver (voted by a world organization as the best city in the world), and we can talk about a great deed you can do for pregnant women who need a winning voice. I know deep down that you have that winning voice. A man with kids cannot refuse.

So thank you, Charlie Sheen. You can now put poison-tipped nails in the stench-filled coffins of the cunning, uncontrollable minds of the "TROLLS," and a big dent in the incident rate of FASD thereby encouraging the fight for healthy "BABES." Hey, isn't that bi-polar winning?

I'll be waiting at the airport. See you soon! (Anthony Baker fafasd@gmx.com )
