When the same story hits National Review AND Democracy Now! on the same day, you know we have a problem.
Isn’t it interesting that ADHD doesn’t exist in other countries?
Not only ADHD, but autism and vaccination protocols. We’ve gone far past the time when we could take medical science at its word.
Oh, and while we’re on the subject, I’m with Duesberg on HIV.
Mark my words. I have said this before. ANY prior indication a person has been prescribed Ritalin or the equivalent will be an automatic denial to receive a clear NCIS check when purchasing a gun. Likewise with visits to a psychologist or psychiatrist, any treatment for depression, sleep disorders, or anxiety.
You don’t think these ObamaCare felons (Navigators) are asking you those kinds of questions for nothing, do you?
Medical records are being digitized; not for medical expediency, but rather for government identification and adjudication.
On the tour of Thomas Edison's boyhood home, the guide states that troublesome TE as a youngster would've been diagnosed with ADHD. That's just one example. What is happening today is that often the most creative, artistically and intellectually, are having that creativity and potential for excellence destroyed by pharmaceuticals.
Why don't we ever see statistics about how many of these shooters have at some point been poisoned with Ritalin, Addrerol, or some other mind inhibitor?
This guy says most kids have sleep problems that look like adhd
kid require 10 to 12 hours sleep a night
even in high school
These childhood diagnoses will also affect these kids' ability to join the military, obtain a pilot license, obtain a federal CDL, obtain any security clearance required to work in private industry that works government contracts, etc.
Parents, doctors and school administrators seemingly don't have a clue as to the impact these diagnoses have
Without exception, they worked out a pattern for themselves. Often, it was a short nap. This held for all age levels.
Most all (the teachers and doctors) don't really care. They are more interested in a controllable child who causes no problems so they can graduate him/her up to the next grade where they become somebody else's problem.
Kids raised on an early, steady diet of TV and gaming are bound to get bored quickly in a classroom environment
the NY times just had a big piece too...I sent it to my son and his wife...their son is a bit hyper and has a lot of “classic” symptoms...but not all....he can quiet himself down in a NY minute if you let him watch a dvd or use your Ipad....
“Parents, doctors and school administrators seemingly don’t have a clue as to the impact these diagnoses have.”
But more often than not, these diagnoses come with federal money. Parents are whoring their kids out to the government and pharmaceutical companies. And, as you point out, these parents have no idea what they are really signing up for.
They aren’t being herded into the collective farm. They are being baited.
You are EXACTLY on point!! I have been saying ADD and ADHD have been a fraud on America for years.
Thanks for that information. It’s astounding that these poisons are still being prescribed, considering this strong connection.
I have a nephew who was put on Ritalin. He wasn’t the brightest bulb in the pack but he did graduate high school, and the girls seemed to like him.
But I can assure you, those drugs did him no good. My only solace is that he turned out conservative, a 2A adherent, and a good husband and father.
Surprisingly, much of the classroom has been reduced to staring at technology, predesigned worksheets and other programmed activity. That bores them
I'd go back to textbooks, the basics, and lots more art, music, phys ed, drama, other creative outlets. Too much now, the classroom is group pre-programmed activities and not individual accomplishment. It's often a less glitzy form of the technology they're absorbed in at home, so they often zone out and go through the motions...or misbehave and get diagnosed with ADHD.
We are learning new things everyday from our son. I find his view on life fascinating, but we do sometimes have our very frustrating moments.The nuns have no problem with our dietary and therapeutic treatments, but our pediatrician keeps pushing drugs. Luckily we only take our son to the doc once a year for his school checkup.
