Call me crazy but I wonder how many of these kids taking ADHD drugs would not need them if they ate a more balanced and natural food diet and were forced to go outside and engage in physical activity, like riding a bike, etc.
Most of them.
ADHD is a made-up disorder to sell drugs and make teachers’ lives easier......................
Diet is a good point.
They had me on ADHD Pills even when I was running through the swampy forests of GA on a daily basis as a kid.
I believe it is something most people can grow out of, but the mental belief of they cannot operate without the pills is too damn strong for them to even try.
I stopped when I was 17 because I knew it was doing something to my body, potentially permanent damage, and refused since then. Been doing fine.
You gave the answer I was going to post in your first post! (Hello by the way :) When I was young my dad had the perfect solution for my ADHD, which by the way was called a normal, overactive kid. He’d make me run around the house while he sat on the porch and counted how many times I made it around. That always wore me out enough to calm down lol!
More than you know...
My oldest son was diagnosed ADHD, not by the schools, but by a board certified psychiatrist.
He was prescribed medication. They started at the lowest possible dose and went up as need.
Not like the school diagnosed kids that they start on the highest dose and work down.
The schools diagnosed my youngest son with ADHD.
We took him to the same psychiatrist that diagnosed son #1.
The answer from him was not no, but hell no.
We KNEW, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what ADHD looked and acted like.
The schools get more money to deal with ADHD then with a normal kid. This is why they do this.
As a side note, the oldest was an A-B student. Then he came to us when he was about 13, and asked to be taken off the drugs. He said he did not like how they made him feel.
We said OK, but your grades are probably going to drop.
And they did.
But, I never saw someone work so hard to get the grades he got.
He has carried this well into adulthood, and is highly successful.
And as another side note, I wonder how many of these school shootings and the like, had the kids on or withdrawing from these psycotrophic drugs?
