Ritalin: Legally Sanctioned "Speed"
by Julian Whitaker M.D.
Ritalin
is the number one prescription drug for children with attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This drug has such tremendous potential
for abuse that it is classified as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement
Agency. Ritalin is an amphetamine (in street jargon, "speed") with a lengthy
list of side effects, including nervousness, insomnia, nausea, abdominal
pain, loss of appetite, dizziness, palpitations, headaches, irregular heart
rhythms, and psychic dependence — in short, addiction.
In fact, Ritalin's appeal to drug users and its potential for abuse
are so high that US House Judiciary Chair Henry Hyde (R-IL) recently filed
a request 
with
the General Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct an investigation of Ritalin
abuse in public schools. In addition, class action lawsuits have been filed
in Texas, California and New Jersey charging Swiss pharmaceutical giant
Novartis, maker of Ritalin, with conspiracy to create the psychiatric disorder
known as ADHD in order to fuel the market for their product.
New But Unimproved
The latest version of methylphenidate is an extended-released tablet
that will be the most expensive prescription drug on the ADHD market. The
once-a-day drug, called Concerta, was launched with great fanfare just
in time for the new school year, with a team of 515 sales reps targeting
pediatricians, family practitioners, psychiatrists, neurologists, and family
practitioners around the country. Though promoters of the drug say it will
help eliminate the embarrassment experienced by children who have to take
medication at school, the drug will do nothing to eliminate the dangers
of methylphenidate. In clinical studies, side effects of Concerta were
virtually identical to those of Ritalin.
There are natural alternatives to both Ritalin and Concerta, but you're
not likely to hear about them from most conventional doctors. And if the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has its way, you won't be able to find these
products in health food stores, either.
The
devastating effects of the drug Ritalin and the long-term side effects
in the brain
Do doctors know what they are doing to the children?
The devastating effects of the drug Ritalin and the long-term side
effects in the brain. Dr. Med. Heinrich Kremer of the Niedersachsen
and Schleswig-Holstein clinic, specializing in medications of the states
Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, describes in detail the effects of the drug Ritalin
in the brain and to introduce alternative, Ritalin-free therapies for restless
children. No conscientious doctor will prescribe Ritalin after studying
this article.
Frank W. Gruber, M.D. - "Interestingly enough, as I had success
with a few hyperactive children, word got around quickly. Parents are very
interested in getting help for their children to keep them off of Ritalin.
The pediatric segment of my practice has grown by leaps and bounds." more
TeenScreen,
A Front Group for the Psycho-Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex is a
very controversial so-called "diagnostic psychiatric service" aka suicide
survey; done on children who are then referred to psychiatric treatment.
The evidence suggests that the objective of the psychiatrists who designed
TeenScreen is to place children so selected on psychotropic drugs. "It's
just a way to put more people on prescription drugs," said Marcia Angell,
a medical ethics lecturer at Harvard Medical School and author of "The
Truth About Drug Companies." She said such programs will boost the sale
of antidepressants even after the FDA in September ordered a "black box"
label warning that the pills might spur suicidal thoughts or actions in
minors. (The New York Post, December 5, 2004)

Do Antidepressants Cause Violence and Suicide?
Julian Whitaker, M.D.,
believes there is a direct link between the violent
shootings and the increased and indiscriminate use of popular antidepressant
drugs. Dr. Whitaker points out that many of the gun-related massacres
that have made the headlines over the past decade have a common thread:
they were perpetrated by people taking Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, Paxil, or
a related drug. A documented side effect of these drugs -- known clinically
as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) -- is akathisia, or
physical and mental agitation. Dr. Whitaker says "akathisia is to violence
what a match is to gasoline. And this condition has been reported in a
significant number of Prozac users." Moreover, the Food and Drug Administration
has received over 40,000 reports detailing adverse effects related to Prozac.
The
Scourge of Prozac by Dr. Julian Whitaker MD
Illinois
Shooter was Treated with Psych Meds Prior to Shooting Rampage
It comes as no surprise to anyone who's been following school shootings
all the way back to the Colombine High massacre in Colorado: Every young,
male shooter that has gone on a killing spree in the United States also
has a history of treatment with psychotropic drugs -- typically SSRI antidepressants.
These shootings have three things in common: 1) The shooters are young
males. 2) The shooters exhibit a mind-numbed disconnect with reality. 3)
The shooters have a history of taking psychiatric medications.

Dr Peter Breggin,M.D
the eminent psychiatrist and author (Toxic Psychiatry, Talking Back to
Prozac, Talking Back to Ritalin), told me: "With Luvox, there is some evidence
of a four percent rate for mania in adolescents. Mania, for certain individuals
could be a component in grandiose plans to destroy large numbers of other
people. Mania can go over the hill to psychosis." more

Protecting Patients or Pharmaceutical Companies?
Late last year, the FTC charged Natural Organics, a company that markets
a natural alternative to Ritalin called Pedi-Active ADD, with making unsubstantiated
claims — despite the fact that Natural Organics has submitted some 200
studies, including 18 double-blind studies, in support of its claims. According
to Natural Organics CEO Gerald Kessler, the FTC has failed to produce a
single study supporting its allegations. Kessler questions 
the
FTC's motives, and I agree — it's not consumers the FTC is trying to protect,
it's the profit-hungry pharmaceutical companies and their stockholders.
On
the Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your
Health Jerome P. Kassirer MD
Some physicians become known as whores." This is strong language in
Kassirer's mostly temperate but tough look at how big business is corrupting
medicine—but according to Kassirer, one doctor's wife used the word "whore"
to describe her husband's accepting high fees to promote medical products.
Such personal anecdotes distinguish Kassirer's look at the conversion of
America's health-care system into a commercial enterprise. Kassirer, former
editor-in-chief of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, notes
the range of conflicts of interest between profit-centered business and
people-centered medicine, such as the drug industry's huge expenditures
(in the billions) for courting doctors to use their products, for recruiting
physicians to tout their drugs or, more slyly, to present seemingly objective
medical discussions that, on closer examination, do favor the company's
product over others. Kassirer also covers the abuses of both fee-for-service
(which can lead doctors to perform unnecessary but lucrative tests and
procedures) and HMOs (which reward doctors for keeping costs down).
Study
Indicates Nutritional Deficiencies Lead to Aggression and Violence in Children
A new study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry shows that
children who experience malnutrition exhibit strikingly increased
behavioral disorders and aggressive behavior as they grow older. Children
who suffered certain nutritional deficiencies demonstrated a shocking 41%
increase in aggression at age eight. At age 17, they demonstrated a 51%
increase in violent and antisocial behaviors. And the only difference is
their diet.
Hugo Rodier M.D. - "There are very few products that provide
all, or even most, of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain the
existing ones. The problem is that we need ALL of them at the same time
for things to work. One of those rare products that contains almost everything
you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is
marine
phytoplankton. It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot
make. The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6).
Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D and major and trace minerals

of Glyconutrients and their role in human health is now in Mainstream Medicine."
Kathryn D. Dykman, M.D - “... In these studies, we could and
did look at the effect of glyconutritionals,
whether, these children are on the same medication that they had been on,
whether we cut the medication in half, or whether they had been diagnosed
and never put on medication. All three groups of these children improved
with just the addition of the Glyconutritionals in their diet. In
regard to the glyconutritional product and ADHD, I think that it is important
for every parent and teacher to know about the glyconutritional product
and how it might impact, not only the behavior, but also the health of
the children.” Article: Miracle in South Dallas - See how these

Lendon Smith, M.D. - "Most of the children I treated with diet
and supplements no longer needed the Ritalin they had been taking. Their
problem was not a Ritalin deficiency.
They had mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Their behavior good mornings
and terrible afternoons; either sleepy or restless and inattentive were
easily explained by their diet. Along with a better diet, they needed minerals
to act as co-
enzymes for basic metabolism. As I expanded my research with reading
and using nutrition as treatment for patients, I noted that the nutritional
approach was valid for other conditions not just the hyperactive child."

The
Hundred-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Our Health
For nearly 100 years, food and drug manufacturers have been engaged in
a mass experiment—and you, your friends and your loved ones are the test
subjects. It sounds hard to believe, but the truth is neither the FDA nor 
food
and drug manufacturers can really know that man-made chemicals are safe
for long-term use.
Research over the past decade has demonstrated
the importance of essential fatty acids and essential
proteins (amino acids), trace minerals (
marine
phytoplankton and AFA algae are a rich source
of trace minerals) and magnesium.
Now scientists and nutritionists are just beginning to understand that
there are essential sugars (glyconutrients)
as well. Essential sugar compounds function individually as building
blocks to assemble a nearly infinite variety of complex molecules known
as glycans or sugar chains. Glyconutrients research field has been

ritalin, Safe and Effective alternatives for ADD and ADHD
The
Connection Between ADD and Diet
It has long been known that consumption of certain foods and beverages
can have a noticeable and particularly bad effect on ADD children, causing
severe problems. These children, for example, often become extremely hyperactive
after having coloured cordials or fruit syrup drinks, hot dogs, various
junk foods and cola drinks. Hafer has been studying the dietary connection
to ADD/ADHD for twenty and more years. While it has long been known that
some foods can make symptoms worse, why was not known. Hafer's genius lies
in her close analytical investigation of the ingredients of the foods we
consume, which led her to the discovery that there is a common component
in the foods which affect ADD children. That component is phosphate.
This major discovery led Hertha to write down her findings and publish
them in her book The Hidden Drug - Dietary Phosphate (Cause of Behaviour
Problems, Learning Difficulties and Juvenile Delinquency). more..

A.D.D.
and A.D.H.D. Diet by Rachel Bell and Dr. Howard Peiper
This book is an updated version of Rachel Bell, Dr. Howard Peiper,
and Nina Anderson's booklet, A.D.D. The Natural Approach. In the Preface
the authors present a constellation of behavioral, cognitive, social, and
muscular symptoms attributed to A.D.D./A.D.H.D. In the Foreword, Dr. Doris
Rapp estimates that 8 to 22 million children will have been placed on activity-modifying
drugs like Ritalin by 2000, yet 20 to 40% will not be helped by these drugs.
She believes that many drugs should be the last choice in treating A.D.D./A.D.H.D.,
especially when they have a long list of side effects. The first choice
should be to detect and eliminate "the cause" of the illness among multiple
causes from favorite foods, diet, additives, metals, toxins, dust, mold,
pollen, chemicals, noise, sources of electromagnetic (and other forms of)
energy, misalignments of the skull, vertebra of the spine, and so on. The
authors' strongly assert that you can do something about these conditions,
if willing to open your mind, search, and find out what works best for
you or a specific child.

"My son, who is 8 years old has been diagnosed since birth with epilepsy,
autism, ADHD, tourettes, and more. He was using 5 different medications
a day and it was a struggle to get him to function. People were scared

was wetting the bed and was 15 pounds underweight. After 6 weeks of taking

the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton
has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing
a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll,
enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains
optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body.

ADD
and Allergies Excerpt from Dr. Rapp's letter
"A local Phoenix station interviewed a mother with an extremely aggressive
son and found the answer in the refrigerator. Red dyes, as Dr. Feingold
stated in the '70¹s and I said in the 80¹s, triggered this boy¹s
reaction. . There are hundreds of thousands of parents who have seen their
children become wild and uncontrollable from a highly colored beverage
or cereal.
Many are diagnosed as ADHD or ADD. Many are aggressive beyond words.
They can attack parents with bats, knives, bottles, sticks, and anything
else that is handy. I have seen parents who had bite marks up and down
their arms. These are battered mothers who rarely complain. They are angels!
I have had parents run from three year olds. Many are afraid of their children
and constantly fearful that the phone will ring with one more complaint.
Most of these children look allergic and if you can find and eliminate
the cause, they stop having difficulty. Sure, the insurance will pay for
activity-modifying drugs, but these don¹t always help and sometime
they must be stopped. Sometimes they cause even more serious side effects.
The answer is to pay attention to what was eaten, touched or smelled just
prior to the attack. If the cause is a food, dust, mold, or pollen, the
reaction occurs about 10 to 60inutes after exposure. If the reaction is
due to a chemical odor (perfume, disinfectant, a pesticide) the response
can be immediate and devastating."

RITALIN CAUSES
GENETIC DAMAGE, CANCER
A new study found that every one of a dozen children treated for attention
deficit/ hyperactivity disorder with methylphenidate experienced a threefold
increase in levels of chromosome abnormalities—occurrences associated with
increased risks of cancer and other adverse health effects. Methylphenidate
is the most widely prescribed of a class of amphetamine-like drugs used
to treat ADHD, with more than 10 million prescriptions written for it in
1996 alone. Between 1991 and 1999, United States sales of methylphenidate
increased more than 500 percent.
Researchers at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
in Houston and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB)
reported their detection of the chromosome abnormalities in the journal
Cancer Letters. Their peer-reviewed paper is to be published several months
hence, but the journal editors have made it available online in the journal’s
“articles in press” section.
Lawsuits filed in Texas, California and New Jersey claim that the booming
success of Ritalin is the result of a conspiracy in which the American
Psychiatric Association, Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp. and national parents'
group Children and Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(CHADD) colluded to create the diagnoses of Attention Deficit Disorder
(ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Following the
acceptance of ADD/ADHD as medical diagnoses, sales of Ritalin and similar
stimulants have skyrocketed, with more than 6 million such prescriptions
being written in 1995, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Consider
Fish Oil Over Ritalin
Dr. Mercola - "Over one million American children take drugs
for ADHD. Clearly it's not the answer, especially when there are better
options. Omega-3 oils, specifically fish oil, is probably the single most
important nutrient for a child with ADHD to take. I would highly recommend
Dr.
Stoll's book The Omega-3 Connection. He is a Harvard psychiatrist who
has done a great job compiling evidence supporting the use of fish
oils."
ADDers Are More
Likely to Have Fatty Acid Deficiencies A Purdue University
study showed that kids low in Omega-3 essential fatty
acids are significantly more likely to be hyperactive, have learning
disorders, and to display behavioral problems. Omega-3 deficiencies have
also been tied to dyslexia, violence, depression, memory problems, weight
gain, cancer, heart disease, eczema, allergies, inflammatory diseases,
arthritis, diabetes, and many other conditions.
Over 2,000 scientific studies have demonstrated the wide range of problems
associated with Omega-3 deficiencies. The American
diet is almost devoid of Omega 3's except for certain types of fish. In
fact, researchers believe that about 60% of Americans are deficient in
omega-3
fatty acids, and about 20% have so little that test methods cannot
even detect any in their blood. Your brain is more than 60% structural
fat, just as your muscles are made of protein and your bones are made of
calcium. But it's not just any fat that our brains are made of. It has
to be certain types of fats, and we no longer eat these types of fats like
we used to. Worse, we eat man-made trans-fats
and excessive amounts of saturated fats and vegetable oils high in Omega-6
fatty acids, all of which interfere which our body's attempt to utilize
the tiny amount of Omega-3 fats that it gets. Other parts of our bodies
also need Omega-3 fatty acids. Symptoms of fatty acid deficiency include
a variety of skin problems such as eczema, thick patches of skin, and cracked
heels. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to improve mental function, mood,
memory and concentration and have already demonstrated considerable success
in the treatment of conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, ADD and ADHD. more
Hyperactive children lack essential fatty acids
- WEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA. Children suffering from attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are inattentive, impulsive, and hyperactive.
Researchers at Purdue University now report that hyperactive children have
lower levels of key fatty acids in their blood than do normal children.
Their experiment involved 53 boys aged 6 to 12 years of age who suffered
from ADHD, but were otherwise healthy and 43 matched controls. Analyses
showed that the boys with ADHD had significantly lower levels of arachidonic,
eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids in their blood. The hyperactive
children suffered more from symptoms associated with essential fatty acid
deficiency (thirst, frequent urination, and dry hair and skin) and were
also much more likely to have asthma and to have had many ear infections.
The researchers conclude that ADHD may be linked to a low intake of omega-3
fatty acids (linolenic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids) or
a poorer ability to convert 18-carbon fatty acids to longer more highly
unsaturated acids. The researchers conclude that supplementation with the
missing fatty acids may be a useful treatment for hyperactivity. Stevens,

Did you know that the root cause of serious chronic diseases such as

"Some experts believe that children with ADHD may be exhibiting the
effects of mild magnesium deficiency (such as irritability, decreased attention
span, and mental confusion). In one study of 116 children with ADHD, 95%
were magnesium deficient. In a separate study, 75 magnesium-deficient
children
with ADHD were randomly assigned to receive magnesium supplements in addition
to standard treatment or standard treatment alone for 6 months. Those who
received magnesium demonstrated a significant improvement in behavior,
whereas those who received only standard therapy without magnesium exhibited
worsening behavior. These results suggest that magnesium supplementation,
or at least high amounts of magnesium in the diet, may prove to be beneficial
for children with ADHD. Speak with your physician about possible use."

Fluoride Exposure
During Pregnancy Links to Learning Disabilities
Attention Deficit and Behavior Disorders - Dr. Phyllis J. Mullenix
Toxicology Department, Forsyth Research Institute, Boston, MA
Sodium Fluoride is currently added to the majority of municipal water
systems in the U.S. to prevent cavities in children. Its use has risen
rapidly since the 1950’s. Sodium Fluoride is also registered with the EPA
as a rat poison, although advocates say its use in low levels in water
poses no adverse health concerns. There has been considerable research
done on fluoride regarding cancer, birth defects, and risks to the respiratory,
gastrointestinal, and urinary systems, however, very little has been done
on its neurological effects. more
Post-Vaccinal
Behavioural Problems
Ill-humour, anxiety, aggressiveness, contact disturbances, hysterical
behaviour, ADHD, PDD-nos, ADD, autism - A proof by cure with homeopathy
In this article it is intended to show evidence of the relationship
between vaccination and behavioural problems in children, from mild to
severe (ADHD and autism), through 30 case histories. The evidence is provided
through the use of potentised vaccines. The hypothesis is that if the complaints
disappear or strongly ameliorate with the treatment of the potentised substance
which is supposed to be the cause of the complaints, the proof is delivered
that the particular substance caused the damage. The fact that mild, moderate
and severe cases of behavioural problems, often with concomitant physical
problems, are seen and cured by this method strengthens the evidence of
a causal relationship between vaccinations and behavioural problems. more
Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government
agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing
to protect American children. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana)
during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've
been using Thimerosal, and the only test that you know of is from
1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?"
For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what
they knew and when they knew it.

What Every Parent Should Know
BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated!
Toxic Metals - A Cause of Autistic
Spectrum Disorders and ADD/PDD?
Nancy
Hallaway, RN, and author of the book Turning
Lead into Gold - How Heavy Metal Poisoning Can Affect Your Child and How
to Prevent and Treat It, found this out the hard way. Her twin boys
were diagnosed as hyperactive with Attention Deficit Disorder and
severe
autistic tendencies. Her doctor found unacceptable levels of lead,
arsenic, aluminum and cadmium in their bodies, and his treatments led to
immediate and spectacular improvement in both children.
These children were prescribed Ritalin, then Anafril, and then Clonidine
at age three. Since their first treatment to remove the heavy metals, they
have not needed any medications at all for their previously diagnosed disorders.
According to Nancy Hallaway, their eye contact is great, their unusual
agitation and anxieties have disappeared, and though Nancy was told that
the twins might never talk, not only are they both talking now, but they
attend regular classes in school. All this resulted from removing toxic
metals from their body tissues.
Whether the link to heavy metals, chemicals and vaccination
toxins is causal or not, there is no question among many doctors, scientists
and parents alike that children have regressed developmentally and/or shown
signs of autistic spectrum disorders and ADD upon receiving the basic childhood
vaccinations, such as MMR and DPT. more
In addition, mercury and other heavy metals can accumulate in the body
of the fetus, as these metals can and do cross over from the mother into
the unborn baby via the placenta. Particularly implicated are iron, lead,
mercury and copper. This may explain why some children who were not immunized
nevertheless have autism or show autistic tendencies.
The fact that heavy metals can and do build up in the body of unborn
children echoes the findings of doctors Walsh and Usman: If these children
are missing an enzyme to break down heavy metals, these metals that cross
over from the placenta will accumulate in the tissues of the body and cause
damage to the brain and immune system, even in unborn children.
Herbal and Nutritional formulas to
Cleanse and Purify
Fiberon, Envirozon and
Gravizon (below) are wild botanicals are sustainably harvested in the
lush, virgin terrain of the Amazon Rainforest. They undergo a rare and
superior preparation technique to retain their full essence and bioavailability.
Fiberzon
is a synergistic blend of fibers and botanicals recognized for centuries

Designed as a detoxifying, energizing, and revitalizing program, it supports
overall intestinal health and digestion, timulates bowel movement for proper
elimination and helps maintain healthy intestinal flora.
Envirozon
Purify your body. Assists the body's natural ability to cleanse and restore
balance after exposure to environmental impurities. We deal with toxic
exposure on a daily basis. Down loading and detoxifying environmental challenges
is an integral part of optimizing health. Rainforest botanicals include
Jerubeba, Quebra Pedra, and Uña de Gato. Jerubeba facilitates the
body's ability to reduce toxic excesses. Quebra Pedra fortifies the body's
natural filtering organs while stimulating the immune system. Uña
de Gato's reputation as an overall cleansing agent is well known and documented.
Gravizon
- An
enhanced immune, circulatory and lymphatic formula. It contains the whole-leaf
spagyric extract of graviola. Graviola is a small evergreen tree from the
Amazon. Rainforest natives have a rich history of using this herb for its
profound healing properties – among them, immune, circulatory and lymphatic
support. Research since the 1940s has validated and expanded understanding
of this herb and its unique phyto-nutritional qualities.

Detoxification and Therapeutic Clays
Bath
Specially formulated clay baths have been shown to be able to literally
pull pollutants out like a magnet, getting rid of years of toxic accumulation
in just one bath. Detoxification symptoms are less than from internal chelation
methods, and results can happen much more quickly. These clay baths have
been scientifically proven to release toxic metals and chemicals from the
body, and they are so inexpensive that anyone can afford to take them.

The
Feingold Program
Dr. Feingold was an eminent pediatrician and allergist, and was Chief
of Allergy at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Francisco. In
the late 1960's and early 1970's, Dr. Feingold developed what he named
the "KP" diet. Dr. Feingold found that he could help about half of
the children who were diagnosed with what was then called hyperkinesis
or hyperactivity. The media changed the name of the KP Diet to the Feingold
Diet, and parent support groups chose the name "Feingold Associations"
to honor the doctor who had helped their families
Nutritional
Supplements, ADD and Children's Health by Lendon Smith,
M.D.
Most of the children I treated with diet and supplements no longer
needed the Ritalin they had been taking. Their problem was not a Ritalin
deficiency. They had mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Their behavior good
mornings and terrible afternoons; either sleepy or restless and inattentive
were easily explained by their diet. Along with a better diet, they needed
minerals to act as co-
enzymes for basic metabolism. As I expanded my research with reading
and using nutrition as treatment for patients, I noted that the nutritional
approach was valid for other conditions not just the hyperactive child.

Wannabee Foundation
The Wannabee Foundation is Non Profit organization committed to helping

Discovery of How Anti-Depressants
Cause Psychotic Breaks
Anti-depressants given to children can be tied directly to their sudden
outbursts of psychotic reactions as evidenced in the numerous school shootings
and other dramas that have occured. This effect can be measured directly
at a sleep center and will stand up to any scientific criticism.

An Alternative
to Ritalin: Homeopathy as a Highly Effective Treatment for ADD
The homeopathic approach
is growing in popularity as an alternative treatment for hyperactivity
in children. Homeopathy is gaining recognition in the conventional field
of medicine and has been subject to many clinical trials.
Homeopaths are able to treat ADD effectively in many cases by bringing
the individual into balance. Homeopaths treat people with ADD, not the
ADD itself. For a homeopath, what needs to be treated is the specific pattern
of symptoms which an individual presents. Only the one homeopathic medicine
that specifically matches the unique symptoms of the individual will allow
the person to live in a functional way.
Steve Waldstein
RSHom (NA) is a classical homeopath with 20 years experience. He is the
author of "How to Choose the Diet That's Right for You," a book on individuality
in nutrition. He is the President of the Colorado Homeopathic Association
and an officer and director of the North American Society fo Homeopaths
(NASH). He is certified as a classical homeopaths by NASH. He has treated
successfully hundreds of childrean and adults diagnosed as ADD or ADHD.
Homeopathy
and Attention Deficit (ADD) and Hyperactivity (ADHD)
Homeopathy is safe and effective natural medicine with a high success
rate in treating emotional and behavioral disorders in children and teens
- including attention deficit, hyperactivity, depression, apathy, anxiety,
anger, aggression, defiance, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Rather
than suppressing symptoms, homeopathy seeks to create deep, long-term behavioral
changes. Quoting from Edward H. Chapman, M.D., Dht, President of the American
Institute of Homeopathy, and Clinical Instructor at the Harvard University
School of Medicine: "For those who need support in their struggle with
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder … they can be assured from two
hundred years experience using homeopathic medicines that they are safe.
Your conventional doctor may be skeptical if you choose to use homeopathy.
Don't let that stop you. Seek assistance from well-trained homeopathic
providers who are willing to work with you and your doctors." more

Helping
Children, Not Drugging Them - Insane Psychiatry A Profession Run Amok
Excerpt from the Citizens Commission on Human Rights
site
A
wide variety of complaints, including over-activity, fatigue, bed-wetting,
inappropriate behavior, and even epilepsy, in some children, may be due
to allergies. Allergic infants can be so hyperactive that they rock their
cribs about the room or bounce them off the walls and begin to walk earlier
than normal. By isolating and correcting this, the child can be helped
so that there are no symptoms and no need for drugs.

Ritalin:

Texas, California and New Jersey claim that the booming success of Ritalin
is the result of a conspiracy in which the American Psychiatric Association,
Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp. and national parents' group Children and
Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) colluded to
create the diagnoses of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Following the acceptance of ADD/ADHD
as medical diagnoses, sales of Ritalin and similar stimulants have skyrocketed,
with more than 6 million such prescriptions being written in 1995, according
to the National Institute of Mental Health.

This book is obligatory

about medicating children to improve their behavior. Dr. Diller is a rare
voice of moderation in this disputed area. He agrees that a few children
are greatly improved in the short term by such medications, but he decries
the excessive labeling, the unreasonable pressures from schools and parents,
the aggressive advertising by the drug companies to parents and physicians,
and the neglect of the essential psychosocial management of these children

The
Hazards of Treating "Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder" with Methylphenidate
(Ritalin) by Peter R. Breggin, M.D.
ABSTRACT. The criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
focus on behaviors that adults find frustrating and disruptive. Conflicts
between children and adults are redefined as diseases or disorders within
the children. Treatment with stimulant drugs such as methylphenidate (Ritalin)
will produce greater docility in any child (or animal) without actually
improving conduct or academic performance. Parents are not informed that
they are trading behavioral control for toxic drug effects. The label ADHD
is attached to children who are in reality deprived of appropriate adult
attention These children require improved adult attention to their basic
needs.

Avoiding Ritalin
"In 1996 the World Health Organization warned that Ritalin over-use
has reached dangerous proportions. Hopefully, by being armed with correct
information, you may be able to avoid using Ritalin or other similar medications.
Use of these drugs on a long-term basis is questionable. Safety of such
long-term use is simply unknown, but many dangerous side effects have been
increasingly. Ritalin, for instance, may provoke seizures and suppress
growth, or it may cause angina, blood pressure changes, depression or any
of a very long list of serious side effects."
Beat Your Depression
Naturally Depression is "public enemy number one" when it comes
to psychological illness. It descends upon 40 million US citizens every
year. It removes all the joy from their lives, leaves them unable to function
and causes their family and friends much distress. It is a terrible thing
to have to happen to you. What’s even worse is they are told the same old
story about their depression and prescribed powerful anti-depressants to
"cure" them. These drugs may help temporarily. But that’s it. And if you
aren’t told what depression really is, how can you defeat it?

for me. There are no adverse health problems known to arise from its use.
If permanent change and a cure for the majority of ADD
and
ADHD
victims is to happen, we must look to the political and economic forces
which allowed such things as MSG and aspartame to be even introduced to
the public. As Jaren’s true story illustrates, there are millions
of children and parents who face a living hell from ADD and/or ADHD. They
represent a major political force in a nation that is beginning to stagger
from the economic load created by the unnecessarily ill effects caused
by MSG
, aspartame
and Ritalin. It is necessary, for all of our health, that all variations
of MSG are honestly labeled and people such as Jaren’s family can use their
freedom of choice to avoid use. Furthermore, why not ban MSG, aspartame
and Ritalin from our food, drink, cosmetics, vaccines and medicines forever?
They are not needed. Safe alternatives are available. I can only hope that
Jaren’s Story will help a few of the other Jaren’s of the world. Together,
