OUR CHILDREN ARE INNOCENT & PURE. OUR CHILDREN ARE DEFENSELESS AGAINST THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY & CORRUPT PRACTICES WITHIN THE PSYCHIATRY PROFESSION. OUR CHILDREN ARE DEFENSELESS AGAINST SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT EXPECT THEM TO ALWAYS ACT & CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN ADULT-LIKE WAYS. OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR FURTURE. PLEASE SPEAK OUT FOR THEM AS THEIR VOICES ARE TOO SMALL TO BE HEARD. PLEASE HELP SAVE THEM FROM BEING PREYED UPON & DRUGGED FOR PROFIT. 

  • There is not one single scientific piece of evidence to prove the existence of ADHD!
  • ADHD is not a neurologicial disorder, it does not exist!
  • If you question the above, ask yourself this question. Are there really 6 million children in the United States born with a mental illness that causes behavioral problems?
  • It is impossible for a child to always be "perfect" & act like a well behaved little adult in the classroom! That is what some school teachers expect of your child!
  • If your child squirms in his or her seat...ADHD!
  • If your child speaks out of turn....ADHD!
  • If your child makes careless mistakes....ADHD!
  • If your child does not pay close enough attention to detail....ADHD!
  • If your child is easily distracted....ADHD!
  • Does this sound like a mental illness to you? Basically what it comes down to is this....when a child acts like a child, they are mentally ill & have ADHD! Children are not allowed to be children in today's world. Heaven forbid if they do act like a child in school,  suddenly they are mentally ill & need to be drugged! Sickening.
  • DO NOT let the school system bully you into believing your child has a mental illness!
  • Did you know that school districts  are rewarded annually with "financial perks" from the pharmaceutical industry for every child on an ADHD stimulant?
  • The drugs used to treat ADHD are NOT mild stimulants! They are schedule II narcotics & share the same category of drug as cocaine! Many, many children have died from these drugs! Many of the deaths are swept under the carpet to protect pharmaceutical profits!
  • Would you give your child cocaine? Does that sound ridiculous? Giving your child an ADHD drug is the same thing. Actually Ritalin has been proven to be more potent to a child's brain than cocaine. ADHD drugs are extremely dangerous & addictive narcotics!
  • Still having doubts? Exposing the ADHD fraud is simple. Ask your child's doctor to show you a test to prove your child is mentally ill. You will never get one as not one single test exists! Is there not a test for diabetes? Is there not a test for cancer? There are tests for REAL illnesses. Wouldn't you want proof of an illness before you decide to give dangerous, addictive, mind-altering, brain changing, heart damaging drugs to your child?
  • If you let them label your child mentally ill, you are letting them emotionally abuse your child.
  • If you let them label your child mentally ill & give in to the pressure of drugs, you are letting them physically abuse your child.
  • They are making drug addicts of our children! Again, they are NOT mild stimulants! If this is what you have been told by your child's doctor you have been lied to! This has infringed on your right to informed consent & is malpractice! If ADHD drugs were truly mild stimulants, children would not be dying from them.
  • Your job as a parent is to protect your child at all costs. For the sake of your child's life, please know that ADHD does not exist & please do not give into their pressure. Your child doesn't deserve to believe there is something wrong with them when there isn't. The label is so damaging to their self esteem. Your child does not deserve to suffer the severe & often deadly adverse effects from these drugs.
  • Please read on to find underlying medical conditions that might affect your childs behavior such as allergies.

OVER 6 MILLION CHILDREN IN OUR COUNTRY ARE CURRENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH ADD/ADHD & ARE BEING DRUGGED BY SUBSTANCE II NARCOTICS. THESE ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE, MIND ALTERING, DANGEROUS DRUGS. THEY SHARE THE SAME CATEGORY OF DRUG AS COCAINE. TOO MANY CHILDREN'S LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST & TOO MANY CHILDREN  ARE CONTINUING TO SUFFER SEVERE PHYSICAL SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDING DRUG INDUCED PSYCHOSIS & HEART ABNORMALITIES. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP! THESE VICTIMIZED CHILDREN ARE CRYING INSIDE FOR HELP. WHEN THEY COMPLAIN OF HOW TERRIBLE & SICK THE DRUGS MAKE THEM FEEL, THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS ARE INCREASED UNTIL THEY ARE EVENTUALLY NUMB & THEIR VOICE IS SILENCED. IT IS TIME FOR US TO UNITE & BECOME THEIR VOICE!

THE HISTORY & FACTS BEHIND THE INVENTION OF ADD/ADHD

The discovery that amphetamines could alter a child's behavior was made by accident in 1937.  A physician in a residential treatment center in  Rhode Island for children diagnosed with behavioral & neurological disorders observed the calming effect of stimulants when he gave amphetamines to a group of 30 children in order to treat headaches that resulted from spinal taps. The Benzedrine (amphetamine) did not help with the children's headaches but it did make the children less active & more compliant. He viewed this as spectacular. Since this discovery, psychiatrists & pharmaceutical companies sought to "invent" diseases for which to prescribe them.  The favored invented disease today is ADD/ADHD & the favored amphetamine is Ritalin.

In 1970, over 200,000 schoolchildren were already on stimulant medication.  Without a single test to confirm a  physical or chemical abnormality to make it a disease, the epidemic has grown to over 500,000 in 1985 & approximately 6 million today.

Experts try to validate the disease as real by proclaiming that brain scans have shown that children with ADHD have smaller frontal lobes by as much as 10% than those of a healthy child.  What the "experts" neglect to mention is that in virtually ALL ADHD studies, the children have been exposed to chronic use of stimulant drugs, mainly Ritalin. Therefore; the brain scan findings are deceptive. On the other hand, the experts WERE able to prove beyond a doubt that the chronic use of amphetamines (stimulant drugs) causes brain atrophy (shrinkage)! A once healthy brain prior to stimulants is now 10% smaller on average than those NOT taking the drugs.

Once diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, the children are no longer considered or treated as normal. Once the drugs start poisoning their bodies, they are no longer physically normal. Whenever anyone in the life of a child is lead to believe that he/she is "brain damaged" or "diseased", when they are in fact not...that child has been stigmatized & damaged....not only emotionally & socially, but legally as well.

My question is this....If there is not a single lab result, physical test, x-ray, biopsy, brain scan, blood test, ANYTHING that can show an abnormality...how can this child be labeled "mentally ill" & drugged when they are obviously completely normal??? If you are having doubts about anything that you are reading, exposing the fraud is simple. Ask your doctor or your child's doctor to show you the test results which prove you or your child are mentally ill.  You will not see a result as no such test exists. Be prepared to get the run around with explanations from your doctor as to why there is no test to validate the "disease". Think in the back of your mind as you are hearing a list of excuses, how much money that particular practice might be receiving from pharmaceutical companies in order to market & sell their drugs. Think how many private practices would go under without the funding from drug companies. Ask yourself this question...is helping to fund the drug industry worth the risk of the suffering your child will endure on these drugs, possibly leading to death?!  Do not give in & be persuaded by their lies & excuses! Stand up for your child & say no to drugging for treatment! Remember ADD/ADHD is NOT REAL or PROVEN....it is merely an invention by Corporate America to make millions!

THE MEANS OF DIAGNOSIS

The "experts" claim that the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD can be made reliably using well tested diagnostic "interview" methods. They will also go on to further ADMIT that there is no single test to validate ADD/ADHD. The diagnosis is based solely on an interview with the doctor asking a list of questions on your child's behavior. The child is "diagnosed" by the following list of diagnostic criteria.

Six or more of the following symptoms of "inattention" have persisted for at least 6 months:

  • Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork.
  • Often has difficulty sustaining in tasks or play activity.
  • Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly.
  • Often does not follow through on instructions & fails to finish schoolwork or chores.
  • Often has difficulty organizing tasks & activities.
  • Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort.
  • Often looses things necessary for tasks. (toys, pencils, books, tools)
  • Is often distracted by extraneous stimuli.
  • Is often forgetful in daily activities.

Six or more of the following symptoms of "hyperactivity-impulsivity" have persisted for at least 6 months:

  • Often fidgets with hands or feet & squirms in seat.
  • Often leaves seat in classroom or in other situations in which remaining seated is "expected".
  • Often runs about or climbs excessively in situations in which it is inappropriate.
  • Often has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly.
  • Often talks excessively.
  • Often blurts out answers before questions have been completed.
  • Often has difficulty awaiting turn.
  • Often interrupts or intrudes on others. (butts into conversations or games)

WHAT INFANT, PRESCHOOLER, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLER, & ADOLESCENT DOES NOT FALL INTO THESE CATEGORIES? THESE ARE NORMAL & I STRESS NORMAL, CHILDHOOD BEHAVIORS!

Yes, some children require more attention & discipline than others...but that doesn't make them mentally ill! It makes them more of a challenge. We ALL have different personalities. Some of us are more laid back while others are more high strung. The same applies for children. THIS IS NORMAL!

It would be a boring world if we all walked around like well behaved zombies all the time...acting alike....ALWAYS acting according to what society views as NORMAL! What is normal to one, might not be normal to another. Their "diagnostic criteria" is based on opinions of what some teachers,  parents, & doctors consider to be "ABNORMAL" behavior! Why? Because if a child fits into the categories listed above, they require more time & attention.

Many school systems in our nation are underfunded & understaffed. This leave less teachers, more students, & less time to properly discipline or give attention to those that do not always listen. When the child is drugged & in a zombie state, it makes the day go more smoothly. Keep in mind that the drugged child is so spaced out that he/she is not actually learning anything in school....but they are being well behaved & sitting nice & properly in their seat. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the purpose of school was to learn. Did you ever wonder why it is that some school districts have has much as 65% of their students on stimulant medications while other districts have as low as 3% - 0%? Could this possibly be related to financial incentives from pharmaceutical companies to poorer school districts? Interesting thought to ponder.

COMMON DRUGS USED TO TREAT ADD/ADHD & THEIR DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS.

RITALIN - the drug of choice by many doctors & psychiatrists. Generic name: Methylphenidate hydrochloride; other brand names: Concerta, Metadate, Methylin

Ritalin is classified as a Schedule II Narcotic - the same category as cocaine.

WARNINGS: Ritalin should not be used in children under 6 years of age since safety & efficacy in this age group have not been established. The safety long term use in children is not yet available. Suppression of growth has been reported in long term use in children. This drug can lead to addiction & future dependency on other drugs. This drug has lead to the death of many children.  It has been known to scar & thicken blood vessels leading to the heart forcing the heart to enlarge & work overtime & in time will lead to cardiac arrest. Between the years of 1990 & 2000 the FDA received 186 reports of death caused by Ritalin & all other forms of the drug through its MedWatch program. Voluntary systems such as this report no more than 1 - 10% of actual occurrences, so the death count is sure to be much, much higher.

Please read the following article: "Ritalin is More Potent Than Cocaine"

If a child is on a schedule II narcotic drug or any other controlled stimulant by the age of 12, they are not ever eligible to enroll in the US Army.  Is this our governments way of admitting that stimulant use in children is dangerous, leads to future dependency, & drug induced psychosis?

ADVERSE REACTIONS: Nervousness & insomnia are the most common adverse reactions. Other reactions include hyper-sensitivity (including skin rash, urticaria, fever, arthralgia, exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme with histopathological findings of necrotizing vasculitis, & thrombocytopenic purpura), aneroxia, nausea, dizziness, palpitations, headache, dyskinesia, drowsiness, blood pressure & pulse changes - both up & down, tachycardia, angina, cardiac arrhythmia, abdominal pain, weight loss during prolonged therapy. There have been reports of Tourette's syndrome. Toxic psychosis has been reported.  Although a definite casual relationship has not yet been established, the following have been reported in patients taking this drug:  leukopenia and/or anemia & a few instances of scalp hair loss.

Ritalin & the use of amphetamines may become chronically abusive & lead to marked tolerance & psychic dependence with varying degrees of abnormal behavior. Frank psychotic episodes can occur. Close supervision is required during drug withdrawal since severe depression & thoughts of suicide can occur.

OTHER COMMON DRUGS USED TO TREAT ADD/ADHD

Adderall     Dexedrine     Strattera     Cylert     Focalin XR

* Adderall & Strattera are both failed drugs that have been recycled back into the market for the sole purpose of profit. Adderall was once called Obertol. Obertol was prescribed mainly to women who wanted to loose weight. It was taken off the market in 1981 because so many women became addicted to it. Years later, Orbetrol was repackaged & given a new name....Adderall. Strattera is a failed ADULT anti-depressant & was put back on the market to push onto children. Again...for the sole purpose of profit. Strattera carries a black box warning, the highest & most dangerous warning category, for increased risk of suicide & the high number of suicides reported. 

WHAT DRUG MAKERS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW:

Over the years, thousands of children have died suddenly as a direct result of using psychotropic drugs used to treat alleged childhood "diseases" like ADHD. The children below have all died from use of stimulant medications. There are many, many more. Look at their innocent faces & ask yourself how they can allow this to continue knowing what they know about the dangers of these drugs. Let these photo's inspire you to help save the lives of other innocent children. The killing of children for profit has got to stop!

          stephanie.jpg    shaina.jpg    matthew-smith.jpg    adrian-d-wade.jpg     leanne.jpg

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:  

 STEPHINE HALL (11 years old) Stephanie's death was caused from the Ritalin used to treat ADHD.

SHAINA LOUISE DUNKLE (10 years old) Shaina's death was caused from Desipramine used to treat ADHD.

MATTHEW SMITH (14 years old) Matthew's death was caused from Ritalin used to control his behavior.

ADRIAN DAVID WADE (12 years old) After taking Straterra for 115 days, with no warning signs, he committed suicide on October 23rd, 2004.

LEANNE M. BESSNER (15 years old) After taking Concerta for two short months, she committed suicide on October 9th.

LIKELY CAUSES BEHIND HYPERACTIVITY & INATENTTION IN CHILDREN:

Food additives; allergies; sensitivity of chemicals in meat & dairy products; artificial sweeteners; essential fatty acid deficiency; blocked calcium absorption; problems with eye vision; possible low iron; environmental instability 

Have you ever considered that you could possibly have an extremely gifted & intelligent child on your hands?  They same that some of the smartest people in history, Albert Einstein for example, were "difficult" to deal with during their childhood! Did you ever hear the expression..."that child is too smart for his/her own good!"  Maybe some children diagnosed with ADHD need more stimulus & a more challenging education/teacher to keep their interest! It would be a shame to silence a potential gift in a child through drugging them. Since most stimulant drugs have the high potential of leading to future drug dependency, their "gift" could be hidden forever or destroyed!

Please read the following article for more information regarding how a child's diet is related to his/her behavior. "ADHD has a simple cause: poor nutrition & food additives"

SOME ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT SUGGESTIONS:

  • Have your child tested for allergies & change their diet as needed.
  • Have your child's eyes check for any abnormalities; Even with perfect eye sight, an abnormality of the eye could still exist.
  • Take your child to a chiropractor; Chiropractic therapy directly effects the central nervous system & keeps it in balance!
  • Experiment with natural vitamins & minerals & look for positive changes in your child; this would be a good way to see if your child is lacking on a certain vitamin which could effect his/her behavior!
  • If your child is hyperactive, limit their sugar intake drastically!
  • Try a different parenting approach; instead of bossing or attempting to control your child's behavior, work with it. Be more rewarding of good behavior & try to ignore his/her bad behavior. This is positive reinforcement. By not giving the child attention when they are bad, & giving them lots of hugs & kisses & praise when they are good can reprogram their behavior!
