 Symptoms of adhd are easily eliminated in 80 percent of children within two weeks by merely supplementing with omega-3 oils and eliminating processed foods (especially refined sugars) from kids' diets.
The psychiatric industry does not promote nutrition as a method for preventing or treating depression, bipolar disorder, adhd or other mental or behavioral conditions. Instead, it works to keep consumers ignorant of such solutions and pretends that these diseases are caused by "brain chemistry imbalances" that can only be corrected with synthetic patented chemicals (pharmaceuticals). |

And what is the standard American psychiatric "treatment" for these conditions? Mind-altering drugs, of course.
ADHD, for example, is treated with a drug that used to be an illegal street drug called "speed. |
| The psychiatric industry, though, thinks that yet MORE children need "treatment" with drugs for adhd and depression. In fact, an industry press release recently claimed that only one-third of those children "suffering" from adhd are receiving appropriate "treatment" for the condition. Of course, those are just code words for "drugging the children with high-profit pharmaceuticals." When the psychiatric authorities say "treatment," what they mean is "more drugging."

| REPPED: Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have reported that omega-3 fatty acid is highly effective in treating children with ADD, adhd and bipolar disorder. The study was reported in the journal European Neuropsychopharmacology in February 2007.
"Results from this prospective, open study of monotherapy with omega-3 fatty acids in the over-the-counter product OmegaBrite suggest that manic symptoms can be rapidly reduced in youths with BPD with a safe and well-tolerated nutritional supplement," wrote lead researcher Dr. Janet Wozniak. |

| It's an amphetamine, and recent research published in the August, 2007 issue of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reveals that Ritalin and other adhd drugs actually stunt the growth of children, causing their brains and bodies to be physically altered.

Depression, of course, is treated with SSRI drugs, none of which have ever been safety approved by the FDA for use on children or teens. |

 Today, many children with adhd have become adults with either adhd or ADHD-like symptoms because they do not consume adequate neuronutrients. The problem with this type of behavior is that it reduces our ability to clearly focus, hurts our productivity and relationships, and, at times, it risks serious injury.
This ADHD-like behavior has also been described as "continuous partial attention" by Linda Stone, a former executive at Apple and Microsoft. |

Most are never told that their child's diagnosis of adhd is entirely based on second hand reports of their child's behavior.
Most are never told the diagnostic criteria are no more objective than a teacher's observation that their child avoids homework, interrupts, fidgets, squirms in their seat, loses pens and pencils, and is forgetful and disorganized.
None are ever shown a blood test or a brain scan or any scientific proof of their child's supposed chemical imbalance of the brain. Why? Because they don't exist. |

| The study found no association between television exposure and symptoms of adhd. It also found that parental involvement—such as the amount of time the parents spent participating in children's activities that did not involve TV— was not linked to adhd symptoms.
Stevens says it's important to note that the children in the study who showed adhd symptoms had not been diagnosed with the disorder.

| Ritalin is just one of the drugs commonly prescribed for adhd. Why doesn't anybody know the true number of children harmed or killed by Ritalin and other psychiatric drugs? There is no nationwide data-gathering system that allows us to calculate the exact number of Ritalin-induced deaths or damage, or those induced by other psychiatric medications, but it is certain that parents and patients alike are routinely misled and uninformed. Even if the numbers the FDA does have represent only a sliver of the real total, they are still more than enough to raise alarms. |

 If you want to be checked for adhd, go on up.
Mike: They had a recruiting service there.
Dr. Baughman: People went up and they took this behavioral checklist test and 85 percent of those taking the test had the disease! They got labeled and were on their way the very next day to their doctors with a new label.
Mike: Is it true that I could make an appointment with a psychiatrist walk in and say I have trouble focusing, I'm easily distracted and I fidget a lot, and right then I could be diagnosed and put on these drugs?
Dr. Baughman: Let me tell you something. |

A CHILDREN'S CRUSADE
We are witnessing a crisis of a magnitude and type never seen before.
- William Carey M.D.
On the afternoon of March 21, 2000, fourteen-year-old Matthew Smith was having a good time in his aunt's basement, skateboarding with two of his cousins. Suddenly he fell off the skateboard and collapsed to the floor, where his frightened cousins say he started moaning and turned blue. Paramedics were called immediately but were unable to revive him. |
| Matthew had started taking the drug at the age of seven after being diagnosed with adhd. After eight years of it, his life was over.
Because the death was sudden, with no cause apparent at first, Dr. Dragovic, chief pathologist of the Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office in Michigan, was called in to perform an autopsy. He discovered that the small blood vessels that fed Matthew's heart had been scarred and grown thicker, and that the heart itself had sustained damage and become enlarged because it had to work harder to compensate for the impaired vessels.

| Though the stimulant drugs given for adhd do not benefit the children taking them in any way, they do make "troublesome" kids easier to manage in the here and now. By suppressing some typical behaviors of childhood they cause children to act less like the normal kids they really are and more like the docile adults who are supposed to be teaching them. |
| Ritalin, along with the other popular stimulants prescribed for adhd, like Dexedrine (dextro-amphetamine) and Adderall (dextroamphetamine saccharate and sulfate; amphetamine aspartate and sulfate), increase just about anybody's focus and concentration. This is why the illegal use of these and similar drugs are popular on high school and college campuses when papers are due and tests loom. |

| I presented them with a statement saying that my review of the world scientific literature found no evidence that adhd was a disease. The next thing that happened was that I heard from members of the Quality Assurance Committee that my efforts wouldn't really be needed any longer. So I was essentially deep-sixed; I was put on the shelf.
Mike: Do you know which of these groups accept money from pharmaceutical companies?
Dr. Baughman: Every one of them. |
| At the moment, I'm working with individuals to put together a consumer fraud suit here in the state of California, based on fraudulent diagnosis of adhd and subsequent drugging. If you've been lied to and told you have a disease when you don't and then drugged, that's battery.
Mike: Is there a web site that people can go to?
Dr. Baughman: For this consumer fraud action, we only need a handful of four or five plaintiffs. It's not like a class action where you need hundreds.
Mike: Will you keep me posted on this action?
Dr. Baughman: Yes, people keep asking about it. |
| Baughman: In fact, they are bringing it to market for entirely normal little children said to have the illusory, bogus disease called adhd.
Mike: For those reading, you're a pediatric neurologist correct?
Dr. Baughman: Yes, and I practiced both adult and child neurology, board-certified in both. I have been a long-standing fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.
Mike: Okay, so you come from the world of what I might call conventional medicine. You are an M.D. |

5. adhd drugs
Would you give your child street drugs like speed or meth? Probably not, but what if your doctor wrote you a prescription for speed and said your child needed it because he was adhd? If you're like most parents, you'd fall in step and start giving your child speed. But wait, you say: adhd drugs are not speed, are they? But of course they are. They belong to a class of drugs called amphetamines. They used to be illegally sold as speed. |

| So a school district that gets more of its children are diagnosed with adhd, it gets rewarded with more funds?
Dr. Baughman: They get more funds. There are even laws on the books that pay parents a stipend for every child they have who is diagnosed and thus considered disabled. So I think they get Social Security disability. I think the stipend, at least a few years ago, was $400 a month.
Mike: Isn't this a situation where everybody is on the take, so they can turn the bodies of our children into profit machines?
Dr. Baughman: That's exactly what is happening. |
| I have discovered and described actual diseases, and that's the background that I bring to my newfound duty of evaluating and critiquing modern-day psychiatry, especially where it pertains to their wholly fraudulent claims that their diagnoses, such as adhd, bipolar OCD and depression are actual brain diseases when they are not.
At any rate, that's the rest of my background and qualifications. |

 The rapid rise in depression, adhd and other mental or "behavioral" disorders is so large that it can only be explained by either an infectious epidemic (in which case the CDC should be involved) or rampant disease mongering where drug companies invent diseases and push them onto children and adults in order to sell more drugs. Anyone who believes that adhd is a real disease that has inexplicably stricken 1000% more children over the last twenty years is kidding themselves. |

 Four hundred Q healthy children diagnosed with adhd were m randomly assigned to receive either 40 mg of zinc (as zinc sulfate) per day or a placebo for twelve weeks. At the four-week evaluation, the average total adhd score had improved significantly more in the children given zinc compared with the children given a placebo. Specifically, the zinc-treated children had significantly greater improvement in scores on hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and impaired socialization scales than the children given the placebo. |

 It is hard to judge how many children have adhd, because different experts classify the condition in different ways. The cause of the condition is unknown, and there may be a number of different factors at work. Genetics, stress, and diet may all contribute to problems.
SYMPTOMS
TREATMENT GOAL
• Hyperactivity
• Difficulty concentrating
• Forgetfulness
• Clumsiness
• Spontaneous behavior
• A need to be the center of attention
Only a child psychiatrist, an educational psychologist, or a pediatrician can diagnose adhd. |
