Ritalin - Some Hidden Facts

Many parents around the country have discovered that Ritalin has become a condition for their children continuing in school. There are even reports, by parents, of threats from social agencies: "If you don't allow us to prescribe Ritalin for your ADHD child, we may decide that you are an unfit parent. We may decide to take your child away." This mind-boggling state of affairs is fueled by teachers, principals, and school counselors, none of whom have medical training.....by Jon Rappoport

The term ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), is a syndrome of learning and behavioral problems that is not caused by any serious underlying physical or mental disorder and is characterized especially by difficulty in sustaining attention, any impulsive behavior (as in speaking out of turn), and usually by excessive activity.

ADHD can also be classified as a mental disorder assessed on the basis of behavior appropriate to a given mental age, characterized by inability to concentrate, hyperactivity, impulsiveness, etc.

These conditions are primarily due to the high consumption of sugar, an unstable home life, food allergies, food additives, heavy metal toxicity, etc.

At least 50% of ADHD children have been misdiagnosed and behavioral problems could be significantly corrected through the elimination of such things in their lives.

Something to note in those afflicted with ADD or ADHD, the neurotransmitters in the brain don't quite connect, the Original Chi Machine helps the neurotransmitters in the brain to connect, in turn releasing serotonin which helps to get rid of depression, also allowing right brain/left brain functioning.

Anti-Depressants, Anti-Psychotics, Ritalin - Are They Helpful?

Below is an excerpt to an article on psychiatric drugs (anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and the primary drug for ADHD - Ritalin), announcing a groundbreaking new book by Robert Whitaker. In short, the drugs, while they have the appearance of being helpful, have long-term outcomes which are much worse than no drugs at all.

Excerpt from Salon.com article:
In the past few months, the perennial controversy over psychiatric drug use has been growing considerably more heated. A January study showed a negligible difference between anti-depressants and placebos in treating all but the severest cases of depression. The study became the subjects of a Newsweek cover story, and the value of psychiatric drugs has recently been debated in the pages of the New Yorker, the New York Times and Salon. Many doctors and patients fiercely defend psychiatric drugs and their ability to improve lives. But others claim their popularity is a warning sign of a dangerously over-medicated culture.

The timing of Robert Whitaker's "Anatomy of an Epidemic," a comprehensive and highly readable histroy of psychiatry in the United States, couldn't be better. An acclaimed mental health journalist and winner of a George Polk Award for his reporting on the psychiatric field, Whitaker draws on 50 years of literature and in-person interviews with patients to answer a simple question: If "wonder drugs" like Prozac are really helping people, why has the number of Americans on government disability due to mental illness skyrocketed from 1.25 million in 1987 to over 4 million today?

Adhering to studies published in prominent medical journals, Robert Whitaker argues that, over time, patients with schizophrenia do better off medication than on it. Children who take stimulants for ADHD, he writes, are more likely to suffer from mania and bipolar disorder than those who go unmedicated. source
