Destroying children with the cloak of ADHD - Parents need to pay attention
(NaturalNews) ADHD, your child, drugs, corruption... are words that
should not be in the same sentence - or same conversation for that
matter. Last month, a study was published that makes it questionable
whether this generation of children stands even a remote fighting chance
against the pharmaceutical companies.... They do if their parents are
informed...
Let us start with the conclusion of the study: "Later
start of stimulant drug treatment of attention/hyperactivity disorder
is associated with academic decline in mathematics." Translation: if you
want your kids to do well in school you need to get them on stimulant
drugs as early as possible,
hopefully while still in the womb.The
fact that one of the researchers on the study received funding from a
pharmaceutical company that makes drugs to treat ADHD is more than
wrong; it should be outright illegal to have such a conflict of interest
- but that's another conversation.
The statistics are out of
control and climbing: almost one in ten children in America are
diagnosed with ADHD and over 65 percent of them are currently on
prescription medication. Medications that have dozens of side effects.
Medications that can cause irreversible damage, trigger auto-immune
disorders, cause insomnia, stomach disorders... And yet, we see quotes
like this: "There are obvious benefits of getting started sooner rather
than later," J. Russell Ramsay says to
Reuters Health; he studies ADHD at the
University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine in Philadelphia.
In the
Reuter's article, titled "Early ADHD treatment may ward off problems in school," they start off by suggesting that
kids will have trouble in school if they are not on drugs before the age of
11 or 12. ELEVEN OR TWELVE. ...One tries to be an "objective journalist"
and just report the facts but at times like this it gets challenging.
Has it occurred to anyone to check the diets of these kids?The
massive sugar spikes they are getting hit with every day, hyper-active
reactions to gluten - which is making its way to the top of the highly
inflammatory food list, liters of soda pop that create brain
malfunction, rocket fuel in our water supply that causes every kind of
system malfunction, excitotoxins, hormones and steroids via animal
products, the chemical cocktails sprayed on to the few fruits and
vegetables they might be eating... the list is just too long to make it
possible for
children (and adults) NOT have foggy brains, depression, or ADHD - among
hundreds of other disorders. Has anyone thought to try an all natural,
organic, plant strong
diet and see how children perform?
The
problems AND answers lie in food. Sadly, the pharmaceutical companies
will do everything in their power to get the "experts" and medical
community to say otherwise. Even sadder is that for the mainstream,
whatever the guy in the white lab coat says must be true.
The CDC site itself has a page that provides
parents with a checklist to help them pre-qualify their child before rushing to
their doctor for a prescription. Items on that list: "Often does not
seem to listen when spoken to directly" and "Is often easily distracted"
...traits that would have had 100 percent of us diagnosed with ADHD
when we were kids. Tragically sad.
Horrendous diets can certainly
cause issues, but it's also important that parents remember that kids
are just kids and most normal kids "act up" and cause trouble. Always
have, always will -
unless sedated. Please let your kids be kids.
