ADHD/No to Ritalin
Unfortunately, there are millions of children, mostly boys (twice as
many boys as girls are given psychiatric drugs), that are being
diagnosed with so-called new diseases like ADHD and ADD. A generation ago they
did not exist. Millions of children are then prescribed Ritalin,
which is a trade name for Methylphenidate. (The Drug Enforcement Administration classifies
Ritalin as a "Schedule II" substance.) Ritalin has become a
popular treatment for "attention-deficit" and "overactivity" problems in school--this is disgraceful and
dangerous.
Dr. Mary Ann Block, D.O.--an expert on treating ADHD-ADD without
drugs--approaches the underlying causes of the learning and health
problems instead of prescribing dangerous psychiatric drugs! (See
links below for ADHD Kit and article entitled ADHD:
Fix it without drugging your kids.)
[It should be noted that hundreds of violent episodes, including most
of the school shootings in the last two decades, the students were
linked to some kind of psychiatric drugs (see websites below on subject).]
