The ADHD Scam and the Mass Drugging of Schoolchildren (Transcript)
by Mike Adams (see all articles by this author)
(NaturalNews) Today I am bringing you news from the world of ADHD, because
scientists claim they have found a difference in the brains of children
with
ADHD versus "normal" children. The brains of these children who have been
diagnosed with ADHD were scanned with an MRI machine. They compared 40,000
different points in their brains looking for signs of thickness in the
brain
tissue.
They discovered that the brains of children diagnosed with ADHD were a
little behind schedule in growing. Yes, you heard that right. They said
they
are about three years behind the brains of other children. Everything else
was normal. They said if they wait three years those children will catch
up
and turn out just fine.
Now who is "they?" Dr. Phillip Shaw from the National Institute of Health,
which is probably the National Institute of Mental Health -- they are the
ones who did this research and this research has been making the rounds in
mainstream media. You hear stories about it all over the radio. I heard
one
on national public radio today.
It just blew my mind. I will tell you why in a minute. Headlines in
newspapers and magazines, TV news, cable news networks all across the
country -- they have experts on there now claiming that ADHD is a physical
disease. There is something wrong with the brains of these children.
Apparently they forgot to look at the research that came out just two days
before. Do you know what that research shows?
The Drugs Don't Work
It was a team of American scientists researching what is called the
"Multi-Modal Treatment Study of Children with ADHD -- MTA for short. They
found that the drugs are useless over long-term. The drugs used to treat
ADHD such as Ritalin and Concerta are useless. They have no benefits
whatsoever after three years and even though they may show some short-term
benefits depending on who is watching, and depending on their judgment of
the child's behavior, the truth is there is no long-term benefit
whatsoever.
But here's the most im****tant part.
They found that these drugs stunt the growth of children. "They were not
growing as much as other children in terms of both their height and their
weight," said the re****t's co-author, Prof. William Pelham from the
University of Buffalo. "I think we exaggerated the beneficial impact of
medication in the first study," he added in reference to a study they did
a
few years ago where they declared that these drugs were helping children.
"We had thought that children medicated longer would have better outcomes.
That did not happen to be the case. The children had a substantial
decrease
in their growth rate," he continued. The second point was that there were
no
benefits to children taking these drugs whatsoever.
ADHD Drugs Stunt Brain Growth in Children
What they did not say in the results of this study is that the same drugs
also stunt the growth of the children's brains. Now this is my *****sment
of
the situation, having studied this issue for several years and knowing
that
this drug is stunting the development of the children. It is very
reasonable
to conclude that it also stunts the growth of their brains and guess what?
This new study actually proves it, because these MRI brain scans of
children's brains that found that these brains were three years behind
schedule in development.
80% of the children who were looked at with those MRI scans were on ADHD
medications. That's right. All that study did was prove that medication
stunts the growth of children's brains. Amazing is it not?
How lousy the science has become out there in the world of ADHD when they
are trying to push these drugs on to parents, children and school
administrators. They come up with anything. They actually take a bunch of
healthy children, they invent a fictitious disease, then they come up with
a
chemical called "Speed" -- it used to be called speed when it was sold on
the street as a street drug. They give it to the children.
It harms the children, stunts their growth, and causes their brains to
develop more slowly. Then they stick these children under an MRI machine,
run some brain scans, and announce to the world that oh my goodness ADHD
children have smaller brains that are behind schedule. How amazing is
that?
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what is really going on here.
This science is so bad. I remember when I was taking a science course in
college one of the first lessons we had was how to interpret statistics
and
how to watch out for correlations that might not be causations or how to
make sure that you do not have mistakes in reaching conclusions with your
data. This is a classic mistake.
These drugs are causing the slow brain development. All the MRI scans are
doing is proving that the drugs are harming the children. Notice they did
not take children who were not on the drugs, put them under an MRI
machine,
and scan their brains. You know why? Because their brains would be normal.
They had to take children who were doped up on speed and put them under
the
machines in order to get these results.
In addition, notice that they did not do this study before children
started
being dosed with the drugs. They did not say 20 years ago: "Oh, wow!
Suddenly children are having this so-called disease 'ADHD.'" Let's stick
them under a machine and see if there is anything wrong with their brains.
They did not do that because if they had they would have found there was
no
difference.
The True Cause of ADHD
Nothing is wrong with these children other than probably their diet, a
little too much refined sugar and too many food additives. In fact, that
reminds me of the Southampton Study in the UK that showed that additives
cause hyperactivity in children within an hour after consumption. That's
right -- food additives, especially the artificial colors. Made from coal
tar derivatives and synthetic chemicals, you feed these to children and
guess what? Within an hour you get hyperactive behavior.
Is there anything wrong with these children's brains? No, there is
something
wrong with these children's parents, who probably keep feeding him or her
chemical food additives. There is probably something wrong with the school
administrators who keep di****ng out school lunches that contain food items
made with toxic chemicals. Maybe those people should have their brains
scanned.
As long as we are talking about brain scans, and talking about retarded
neuron development I think the only people in this whole study who
probably
have brains that are behind schedule are the researchers who announced
these
conclusions.
These people have stunted brain development. There is no question about it
because how on earth could they not have realized that the only thing they
did with these MRI scans was prove that these drugs stunt neural
development
in children? How could they not have considered that? They must be on
crack
or maybe, in this case, amphetamines because that is what they are giving
to
the children.
Maybe these researchers are really ADHD children who were treated with
these
drugs, then they grew up with stunted brains and now they have gotten
involved in the research. They have drawn these conclusions and made these
announcements and, of course, the editors at places like National Public
Radio were probably on the same drugs because they ran this story as if it
was fact.
They did not question it one bit. No one out there in the mainstream media
questioned this. They did not say, "Gee, could it be that the medication
caused the stunted growth in the brains of these children? Could that be?"
No, they did not question it at all. No skepticism anymore when it comes
to
psychiatry or Big Pharma and you know why, of course, because they have an
agenda to push.
They have to keep pu****ng these drugs onto more children. They have to
keep
those parents in a state of fear. That's how they sell more drugs. They
have
to keep people believing in this fictitious disease. That's the only way
they are going to make money. This is an industry that makes money by
exploiting the bodies of children, and the evidence is very clear.
Even the NIH is now saying that these drugs stunt the growth of children.
That is a scientific fact announced by a mainstream medical research
organization. This is not fringe science. This is not alternative
medicine.
This is not conjecture on the part of some person who has an axe to grind
with psychiatry. This is mainstream medicine announcing that this stuff
stunts the growth of children. How could it not stunt the growth of their
brains?
Why the Mainstream Media Cannot be Trusted
When I was listening to a re****t on this issue on National Public Radio
just
the other day, a woman called into the show and she asked a very good
question. She said: "I am an adult who has been diagnosed with ADHD, is my
brain also stunted in its growth?" Do you know what the reply was?
They had a doctor on that show. One of the doctors that does news
re****ting
for National Public Radio -- kind of the in-house idiot there, who has no
training in nutrition, does not understand a thing about health but knows
all the disease names and all the chemical names. Do you know what this
doctor told that woman?
He said, "Well, researchers are not sure but they suspect that your brain
may be behind in its development too and that eventually your brain will
catch up and then you will be fine but right now if you have been
diagnosed
with Adult ADHD your brain growth maybe a little behind schedule."
That is what he said to this woman. I am thinking are you kidding me? Is
this person really saying this on the air? You have to be a complete idiot
to come up with that.
The research said that ADHD is a disease where children lag behind a few
years in developing their brains, and if you read the research they said
the
brain cortex of children reaches peak thickness at an average of 10.5
years
for ADHD children compared with age 7.5 years in normal children.
This person was talking to a woman who is probably in her 40's and he is
saying even in your 40's you are probably still a few years behind. Are
you
kidding me? Where does he come up with any evidence for this -- nowhere,
he
pulled it out of his hat. He just made that up right there on the air --
just made it up.
He had no evidence whatsoever -- not even any logic behind it and no
reason
to say that other than the fact that in order to keep up the illusion that
this disease has something to do with slow brain development, they had to
make an excuse to say "Oh, why are they diagnosing adults with this
disease?"
They had to come up with a reason -- another fictitious reason and this
was
all they could come up with. This doctor on the radio on the spot, this
was
all he could think of. Oh, well your brain must be behind too.
They are reaching deep aren't they? What will they come up with next? It's
like catching a politician in a lie and that politician has to keep the
lie
going. The lie gets more and more outrageous every time he tells it to a
different group in a different city when he is touring around trying to
get
elected.
The Pharmaceutical Credo: Sell, Sell, Sell
This is what the ADHD industry is like. It is as if they have to carry on
this outrageous lie, and they cannot really tell the truth because then
the
whole house of cards would collapse and everybody would realize this is
all
one giant fraud.
They cannot tell the truth so they have to keep coming up with new lies to
try to market this to more people. First, it was just a children's
disorder.
Then the drug companies realized they could sell this same speed drug to
adults. I mean think about it. Children are only a small part of the total
market.
What if we could convince adults that they too have ADHD then we could
sell
this drug to them also? They came up with a test. That's right -- a paper
test to try to convince adults that they had ADHD.
You know what this paper test is made of? It's a few questions like: Do
you
feel like you are juggling too many things in your day? Do you have too
much
on your mind or too many projects that you cannot finish? Do you feel like
the stresses of modern life are distracting you? Do you have trouble
fini****ng projects or trouble concentrating on your work? These are the
kinds of questions they ask.
Well it turns out that virtually everyone has ADHD according to those
questions. This is what they used to diagnose adults. See there is no
test.
There is no blood test. There is no body chemistry test. There is no MRI
scan. There is nothing physically wrong and nothing chemically wrong. They
just take a test and it turns out that 80% of American adults who take
this
test end up diagnosed with ADHD -- that is 80% or four or five adults that
walk into this room and answer these questions gets slapped with a label.
You are ADHD.
What a quick quack diagnosis, is it not? Drag a bunch of adults into a
room,
tell them they have a disease, and then give them a drug. That is what
this
industry is all about.
Now they have to back this up and they have to say, "Well, gee, adults
must
have slow brain development too." They cannot think of any other reason to
justify their fictitious disease so they are just dragging the stuff out
of
nowhere -- out of absolutely nowhere.
'Treatment' as a Marketing Term
Even Dr. Phillip Shaw who is the head researcher on this study at the NIH,
said in a quote published on Reuters: "What I would not take away from
this
study is just sit and wait three years and your child will be okay," he
said.
In other words, he is saying that even though his own research shows that
the brain development of these children is three years behind, your
children
will not just grow out of it. He is saying, in fact, they need to be
treated
with chemicals -- or he is implying that.
He says, "We know ADHD is a real problem for children and their families
and
the schools and it does need treatment." Now treatment is the word that
this
industry uses for marketing. When they say "treatment" what they mean is
get
out your wallet. When they say too many children are going untreated, what
they mean is not enough children have bought our drugs -- not enough
parents
have given in. Not enough prescriptions have been written.
When they say that more children need treatment that is what they mean.
They
need to sell more drugs. They have managed to change the language. They
have
managed to phrase all of this so that their marketing campaigns sound like
compassionate public health campaigns. Oh, we care about these children so
much that we have to sell them our over-priced monopoly prescription drugs
that used to be sold as street drugs and would, in fact, get you arrested
for a felony if you sold them to a child.
That is how they bypass those signs in front of the schools that say this
is
a drug-free school zone. They go right over that sign. They jump that
fence,
get into the administrator's office, get into the heads of the teachers,
counselors, get them to start prescribing drugs or pu****ng them onto those
children. Then they come up with this self-reinforcing MRI scan to say
that
there is a difference in brain development.
Well, of course there is. These children have been on speed. You take a
bunch of crack babies and you put them in the same MRI machine, you are
going to see something wrong with their brains too. Make no mistake about
it. You take a bunch of heroin junkies, you put them in that machine, same
thing. You are going to get some strange looking results.
It does not mean that they had some disease that was treated with heroin
or
crack and that the disease caused the brain problem. No, it means that the
drugs they were taking were the most likely cause of these problems.
Flawed Children or Flawed System?
Let us get back to the doctor with the study -- the Multi-Modal Treatment
Study of Children. The re****t's co-author I mentioned earlier is Professor
William Pelham at the University of Buffalo. He is the one who found out
that these drugs do not help children at all in the long run. He says, "In
the short run, medication will help the child behave better. In the long
run, it will not and that information should be made very clear to
parents."
Dr. Tim Kendall, of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (the person who is
working on some new guidelines about ADHD for the NHS) says, "A generous
understanding would be to say that doctors have reached the point where
they
do not know what else to offer."
He says, "I hope we will be able to make recommendations that will give
people a comprehensive approach to treatment." there is that word
"treatment" again. He continues, "and that will advise about what teachers
might be able to do within the classroom when they are trying to deal with
children who have difficult problems of this kind. I think the im****tant
thing is we have a comprehensive approach that does not focus on just one
type of treatment."
Good for him to dare to say that we have to have a comprehensive approach.
Well I have a solution for you that is comprehensive. How about nutrition?
How about we stop poisoning our children with processed foods and chemical
additives in those foods? How about we stop poisoning the brains of our
children by dosing them up on speed? There's an idea for you.
We could cure children of this so-called behavioral disorder by doing two
things -- making the children healthy and making education a lot more
interesting. These children do not have attention deficit problems. You
set
those young boys down in front of a Wii or an X-box or a Playstation and
they can pay attention for about 12 hours straight. They do not even pee
or
eat.
They sit there in front of that machine on that TV and they can focus and
master a game. You go out and find a game called "Guitar Hero," put a
13-year-old boy in front of that game and you got the whole weekend done.
Their whole weekend is focused on that one game and that child will master
that game with hand/eye coordination.
That child will be a genius in that game by the end of the weekend. He
goes
back to school on Monday bored out of his mind. Why? Education is pretty
darn boring the way it is done today in most schools. I know there are
exceptions and my hat is off to those teachers who make learning fun. I
had
a few of those in my educational experience, but largely most of them were
boring as heck.
History is reduced to just a series of names and dates to memorize and
regurgitate onto paper so that you can be called smart and to say that you
know history because you have memorized a bunch of stuff. Are you kidding
me? That is not an education, and that is not interesting. No wonder these
children cannot pay attention.
Education needs to be experiential. These children learn in a multitude of
ways. It is not just auditory through a lecture or it is not just visual
through a book. These children need to learn hands-on. They need to learn
in
a 3D space. They need to be able to move their bodies as they learn.
That is why "Guitar Hero" works, friends -- because they are moving. They
are jamming out on these video game guitars -- the mind/body connection is
solid. They are focused. They are learning. They master that game. We need
to make public education more fun like that. I mean let's face it.
ADHD Drugs are a Crime Against Children
This is really about the Ritalin game, this is about making students
easier
for teachers to handle. It is about society not being willing to handle
the
energy of young children and instead of letting these children express
that
creative energy in a variety of ways and giving them a useful outlet for
that energy, they want to turn our children into zombies.
You would think with a drug called "speed" that it would actually make
them
more hyperactive, right, but no it has the opposite effect. It is called
"speed" but it makes them mellow. You can ask any ex-junkie who used to
take
that drug and they will tell you the same thing. Now, I remember when I
was
in the third grade, we had a baseball star come in and give a lecture
about
being hooked on drugs. He played for the Kansas City Royals.
He had been busted taking drugs. Part of his sentence was community
service.
He had to go into the schools all over town and talk to the children about
how terrible an experience it was being hooked on drugs. He came in and he
told us how he was hallucinating, what these drugs did to him, his sleep
habits, and how they harmed his life and his health. I was really impacted
by that speech but today guess what? You might as well have drug reps
going
into the schools telling children how good speed is for them.
That is what is going on. The drug reps go in and talk to the
administrators, talk to the counselors, they brainwash those people, and
then those people talk to the children and say you need these drugs. In
one
generation, we have gone from telling children "Just Say No to Drugs" to
"Just take this pill and then you will be healthy" -- one generation.
Now, we have a new generation of children who are being raised on speed.
Worse yet they have been given a label -- a label of a disease. They have
been told that they are abnormal. Why? Because they have a whole lot of
energy, because they can probably do 50 things at once. It is quite a
skill.
I have mastered it as an adult personally.
I can do 50 things at once and I do not have any disease. I have
incredible
creativity. I have fantastic mental focus. I can read a book a day if I
want
to. I can photo-read ten books a day, and learn multiple languages as an
adult much better than I ever could as a child. If I were to walk into any
of the psychiatric centers, they would diagnose me with ADHD no question
about it. Why? Because I am doing many things at once. It fits their
pattern. That is what these children are doing. They can do many things at
once.
You say they cannot calm down. Of course they can't. They are too excited
to
be alive. They have stuff to do, stuff to learn, stuff to touch, hear,
feel,
taste, experience, stuff to categorize in those brains. Those brains are
working and if you take them off those junk food additives those brains
will
work even better.
We have to start looking at the gem of what is in these children's heads.
That brain is a gift and that brain needs to be cultivated, not shut down
with drugs. This is a disgrace to the next generation what we are doing to
our children. This is disgusting. In fact, I have often described it as a
crime against humanity.
That is what I really believe it is. I believe to be a type of chemical
castration to these young children that we are damaging their brains and
now
the MRI scans prove it, we are damaging their brains. We are stunting
their
growth. We are creating a generation of mutants because we are putting
them
all on speed. The industry has said, "Well we are not treating enough of
them." They have said, "There are children still out there that do not
have
treatment. We must treat them all."
How the Drug Game Works
I read an article recently where the estimates were that only one-third of
the children who have ADHD are currently "receiving treatment." The
implication in this article was that they needed to put three times as
many
children on these drugs as there are now.
Think about that -- that would put the number at well over 10 million
children in the United States being put on speed. A nation of drugged
children -- stunted growth and what other side effects might we learn
about
this in the years ahead?
Nobody knows -- the researchers certainly don't know. This is all one
giant
experiment using our children as guinea pigs. This is a giant marketing
experiment designed to generate profits, to scare people into believing in
a
fictitious disease, to label children with a fictitious disease name that
they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Make them a victim
of
a system of medicine that has no purpose other than to extract profits
from
bodies.
ADHD will not be the only label they will get. No way, perhaps the side
effects of these drugs will cause liver damage and then they will get
another disease name -- liver disease. Then after liver damage is in place
for a long period, they will have toxicity in their blood and that might
cause heart disease. It might cause sleep disorders. It might cause
depression and guess what? Big Pharma has a drug to treat all of those
too.
What are the odds? Just imagine a lifetime of popping pills. One side
effect
after another and it all starts with a fictitious diagnosis based on
nothing
but the opinion of a psychiatrist who has most likely been bribed by the
drug companies himself or herself.
Try to find a psychiatrist practicing today who is not taking money from
Big
Pharma. Just try to find one. Try to find a decision-maker at the FDA who
is
not financially involved with the pharmaceutical industry. The situation
is
so bad that the FDA recently announced they were going to limit the amount
of bribery allowed by the panel members who make the safety decisions for
the FDA.
You see before there was no limit to the amount of bribery allowed. The
FDA
believed two things. They believed (1) that there should be no limit and
(2)
that none of this should be made public. In other words, no one needed to
actually declare any conflict of interest nor declare how much money he or
she had been receiving from pharmaceutical companies.
These are the people sitting on the boards making the decisions for the
FDA
about which drugs to approve or reject. Of course, all the high profit
drugs
were approved. Well, now the FDA has decided to clean up its act a little
bit and limit the amount of bribery to $50,000 a year per person sitting
on
the panel. How is that for integrity? This is an agency so corrupt, so
steeped in dishonest practices that it believes integrity means limiting
bribery to $50,000 a year per person sitting on these panels These are the
people making the decisions on drugs like Ritalin.
The Grand Experiment
Here is another fact you probably do not know: Most drugs that are
prescribed to children have never been tested for either safety or
effectiveness in children.
Anti-depressants, for example, are commonly prescribed to children. There
are millions of children in this country who are on anti-depressant drugs
--
SSRI's they are called -- Selective S*****onin Reuptake Inhibitors. They
are
the ones that have been linked to suicides, to violent behavior, violent
thoughts. Many of these have been banned for use in children in other
countries including the UK, but here in the United States it is perfectly
okay to prescribe them on children even though they have never been tested
on children -- never! Not one shred of evidence that they are safe on
children -- not one.
This whole system of medicine that the FDA claims is the "Gold Standard of
Medicine" -- this whole system is a sham. There is no real evidence behind
most of what goes on and the evidence that you do see? A lot of it has
just
been fudged. It has been fraudulently created in order to achieve some
level
of cover so that the corrupt officials who have been bribed making
decisions
at the FDA can go ahead and put their rubber stamp on that drug. They can
then approve it and release it into the marketplace.
That is when the grand experiment really begins. That is when we start
seeing what happens when you unleash this drug onto a population that has
never really been tested for? We are just now starting to learn the
answers
to that question. One of the answers that we just learned is that these
drugs for ADHD stunt the growth of children. We know that now. What else
might happen?
Might it cause them to be unable to reproduce down the road? What if it
stunts the growth of sperm development, as these children become men? What
if it interrupts the development or the release of eggs in the ovaries?
What
if it causes reproductive problems? What if we are, in fact, creating a
generation of children who cannot reproduce?
We do not even know if that is the case or not. We will not know for many
more years because this is a grand experiment. No one knows. No one can
tell
you what is safe. No one can tell you that the scenario I just described
cannot happen because they do not know. It has never been tested.
Psychiatric drugs only have to be tested for a few weeks -- sometimes as
little as six weeks before they are released onto the public and can be
prescribed for a lifetime. That is right. This is true. You can Google
this
and find it yourself. The FDA has rules about this and the rules state
that
psychiatric drugs -- even those for schizophrenia -- only need to be
tested
for a few weeks and then they can be released to the public and prescribed
for years or decades.
How do they know that these drugs are safe for use over a period of years
or
decades? They do not know. No one knows. If you allow your child to be put
on these drugs then you are giving up your power and you are in a sense
playing the role of a servant to this industry. You are giving up your
money. You are compromising the health and safety of your child.
Diet Affects Behavior
You may say "Well, my child has behavioral problems, he is difficult in
school," or "The teacher has told me that I should put him on Ritalin.
What
do I do?" It is very simple -- change the child's diet. Take all the
processed foods out of his diet. Take away the food additives -- the
artificial colors, artificial flavors and processed sugars. Take all that
out and fill his diet with wholesome foods -- fresh produce, super food
nutrients.
Emerald Balance has another product made for children called "X-Balance."
It
is chocolate flavored. Children love it. It is loaded with super foods.
You
can blend it up into some chocolate milk or some kind of super food drink.
Give your child one of those every day. It will change his life.
Symptoms of ADHD will vanish usually within just a couple of weeks once
you
change their diet. This is not difficult stuff. Take the Aspartame out of
their diets. Stop feeding them soda and diet soda. Put wholesome foods and
nutrition back into their diets and they will change. They will do better
in
school and they will resist infection. They will be far less likely to
ever
be diagnosed with diabetes, cancer, or heart disease. You will in fact be
creating a very positive future for that child by changing their nutrition
today.
That is how you eliminate so-called behavioral disorders for the most
part -- 80% success rate with a couple of weeks just by changing what they
eat. It's very simple. This is not complicated. Here is why.
Food as Fuel
The brain is a physical organ. The brain needs blood, it needs oxygen, and
it needs blood sugar to operate. In fact, the brain uses up a whole lot of
oxygen and blood sugar. The brain burns up some calories. It is that big
CPU
on top of those shoulders.
The body invests some real resources in keeping that brain active because,
of course, the brain is our main advantage. That is why our species has
flourished -- at least by some measures. We have at least been able to
populate the planet. We have not really taken care of it but we have been
very successful at spreading and we did that because our brains worked
better than the other animals -- the other mammals on this planet with
which
we were competing. The brain takes a lot of energy, many resources. Well
the
brain runs on what is in your blood.
The blood is pumping fuel to your brain and the blood is removing
metabolic
waste materials from the cells in your brain, right? The brain is a
physical
organ and that means whatever is in your blood is affecting the
functioning
of your brain. It makes sense, right? You drive up to a gas station to put
fuel in your car. You have three grades of fuel to choose from.
You have your regular, your premium and your super premium. The difference
between those grades of fuel is performance. You put in a higher-octane
fuel
you are going to get more mileage per gallon out of that car because there
is just more energy in that fuel. Well you would not drive up to a gas
station that had budget fuel for your car.
Budget fuel is 50% water and 50% gas. Would you put that in your car's gas
tank and then expect to drive away and have great performance out of your
car even if that gas were say half the price of all the other gas? Of
course
not, no one would do that but what do we do with our children?
We feed them junk food -- cheap processed junk food that lacks the
nutrients
the brain needs to operate at a high performance. It is like putting water
in your gas tank and then expecting the car to work correctly. It will not
work that well.
How to Feed Your Brain
You have to feed the brain the nutrients that it needs. It needs essential
fatty acids. It needs DHA. It needs Omega 3 oils, vitamins, minerals, and
all of these plant-based phytonutrients from things like berries and
micro-algae such as spirulina and chlorella. All of these super foods --
even cacao. The brain needs these nutrients if you want it to run at high
performance. It only makes sense. Do you want a child's brain to work
correctly? Feed the brain right.
That means getting the right nutrients into the blood, and you know the
human body has a very cool system for getting the right nutrients into the
blood. It is called "digestion." It is called eating it or drinking it.
Get
that stuff down your throat -- all that good nutritional stuff,
high-density
super foods and guess what? The digestive system will take those
nutrients.
It will pull them out of those foods. It will put them into the blood
stream, and then the heart will pump that blood right to the brain. The
brain will absorb that and whoa, wham. The brain is working. Suddenly it
is
working right.
This is not rocket science to figure out. This is kind of common sense.
Common sense that is completely missed by the whole system of organized
medicine today -- psychiatry has no clue about the link between nutrition
and brain health. They imagine it does not even exist.
They think that all behavioral disorders are a result of some kind of
brain
chemical imbalance that has to be corrected with an artificial, synthetic
chemical put into the body. It's ridiculous! Your brain has everything it
needs to operate perfectly and so does the brain of every child born in
this
country.
It has everything it needs to operate perfectly -- barring, of course,
some
bizarre birth defect where they were born without half a brain or
something.
That is the rare exception. Maybe one in a million -- everybody else has
everything they need. They just need to feed that brain correctly. Give it
the nutrients that it needs and stop poisoning the brain. Stop poisoning
it
with toxic food additives that you find in manufactured foods. Stop
poisoning it with all the toxic chemicals that you find in personal care
products today.
Stop poisoning it with environmental chemicals. That is the key. You want
to
keep the brain healthy. You want to see it work. Give it the nutrients it
needs. Stop poisoning it with toxic chemicals and for goodness sake give
it
some water. You know the brain is at least 75% water. Many of these
children
are just dehydrated. That is why they cannot think because the brain does
not have the liquid in there. It needs the water. The neurons will not
work
right without the water.
ADHD and the Standard American Diet
Instead of drinking water, they are chugging down processed juices, sodas,
sugary drinks -- stuff like Ensure and Slimfast -- and those infant
formulas
that are made with about 50% sugar, and I am not exaggerating. I saw one
that is 42.6% corn syrup solids plus 10.5% sugar. You put that together
that
is over 52% refined sweetener. This is a baby formula sold at Wal-Mart and
it is half sugar. That is unbelievable.
This is what parents are feeding their children too. They are guzzling
down
the Gatorade. It is sugar water with artificial colors and some salt in
it.
That is what Gatorade mostly is.
Why are we feeding our kids this stuff? Girl Scout cookies contain
partially
hydrogenated oil, which contains trans fatty acids that promote heart
disease. Read the labels on this stuff folks; you will be shocked to find
out what is in it. Once you do, you will know then the real reason why
children might have some behaviors that someone could interpret as a
disease.
Their diets are messed up. Their nutrients are atrocious. They are not
getting enough water and they certainly are not getting right nutrition.
If
you turn that around -- you turn around the health of these children.
What they definitely do not need is speed. They definitely do not need
amphetamine drugs on top of their malnourished state. You take a child
that
is dehydrated, that is suffering from numerous nutritional deficiencies
and
then you feed that child amphetamines of course you are going to see
stunted
development of their brain on an MRI scan.
Of course, why would you expect anything else? You would have to be insane
to expect anything else. Of course, it is going to harm those children.
Why
has it come to this in this nation? Do you ever wonder that? How did it
get
to the point where our children are now guinea pigs being drugged up
instead
of being fed correctly?
Why is it that these companies are pu****ng infant formula made with sugar
but they denounce breast milk? Why is that sunlight is being discredited?
It
is these companies that sell sunscreen want you to coat your children with
sunscreen chemicals rather than to allow them to have decent exposure to
the
sunlight? Sunlight, which would generate vitamin D and improve brain
function, improves immune function, prevent cancer, improve blood glucose
metabolism to help prevent obesity and prevent Type II diabetes and so on.
Selling Out the American People for Profit
Why has it come to this? There is one answer to all of this. It is the
common thread that runs through everything I have said here and that is
the
profit motive of cor****ations. These cor****ations are out of control and
they are behind all of this. They are the drug companies and the food
companies and sometimes it is the same company.
They want to exploit the bodies of your children just to make money. That
is
all there is to it. They don't care who dies, who is harmed. They don;t
care
about ethics. They don't care about the environment. They don't care what
happens when these drugs are eliminated from the body, get flushed
downstream, and enter the aquatic ecosystems of our planet. They don't
care
about that. They don't even think about that. They are not concerned.
They do not care about any of the impacts of what they do as long as they
can keep people alive long enough to make sure they keep buying their
drugs
and that is it. They will market these drugs to anyone -- infants,
children,
adults, senior citizens. They will market them to people who do not need
them.
They'll even just invent diseases and market those diseases and they will
buy off anybody they need to buy off. They'll buy off the psychiatrists.
They'll buy off FDA officials. They'll buy off the media with advertising
money.
They will pay money to anybody they have to pay to get this message out
and
get this propaganda cemented in the minds of the American consumer. Once
that happens they know they can push these drugs for at least a generation
before someone will finally catch up with them and expose this whole sham
for what it really is. You see Big Pharma is a lot as Big Tobacco used to
be.
They are selling a product they know harms people. They are distorting all
the science to try to cover it up. They are buying off everybody to keep
this gimmick going for as long as they can. They're buying off the
lawmakers. They're buying off the regulators. They're buying off the
media.
They're buying off scientists and the ones they cannot buy off they
intimidate. We have do***ented numerous cases of that kind of intimidation
of scientists on our website, www.NaturalNews.com. That is where I
encourage
you to go to learn more about this issue.
False Media vs. Independent Media
Stay informed, stay empowered, and stay skeptical. Do not believe what you
hear in the mainstream media. It is all influenced by this cor****ate
agenda
because the media takes money from these companies.
How do you think they pay their bills and their salaries? They take money
from pharmaceutical companies who are pu****ng these drugs onto children.
You
cannot trust their information. You can only now trust information from
independent sources. That is it.
Sources like the Environmental Working Group Online or the Organic
Consumers
Association or sites like www.NaturalNews.com. That's where you can get
information that you can trust because I have nothing to sell you here
other
than ideas, I do not sell nutritional supplements. I do not make any money
on nutritional supplements. I do not sell drugs.
The only thing I sell is information. You can buy books on my website. You
can buy audio programs if you want, but guess what? Those same audio
programs are also available free. The only thing I have to offer you are
ideas and information and I hope you have enjoyed this information. I hope
you found value in it. I feel passionate about this.
I think what is going on in America today is a crime against our children
and I hope that the justice department will round up a bunch of law
enforcement officers and march into the offices of these drug companies
and
start making arrests. These people should be tried for their crimes
against
the children of this country.
There should be a massive public hearing and a prosecution attempt against
the CEO's of these drug companies and the corrupt officials at the FDA and
the people in psychiatry who are committing these crimes or allowing them
to
happen. These people should all be held accountable for their actions in
harming our children. We do not even know what the final cost of this is
going to be down the road.
If these drugs stunt the growth of these children right now and cause
their
brains to develop more slowly than normal children what will be the
long-term consequences here? We do not even know. Maybe some day we will
find out.
Maybe some day there will be prosecutions, maybe even convictions against
some of these people but first we have to have the will to move in that
direction as a society. We have to stand up and say what is going on today
is wrong -- that turning the bodies of these young children into chemical
profit centers is morally wrong, ethically wrong. It is wrong in terms of
health policy. It is wrong in so many ways that even this hour is not
enough
to talk about them all. We have to be willing to do that in society.
I have a six CD course available at www.TruthPubli****ng.com that is very
reasonably priced for these Health Ranger re****ts because I want to give
you
the op****tunity to listen to these in your car while you are commuting or
while you are driving your children to the naturopath. I hope that you are
not driving your child to a conventional medical doctor or a psychiatrist.
As you are taking them to a naturopathic doctor, you can listen to these
programs in your car. You can find those at www.TruthPubli****ng.com.
Parents Must Protect Their Own Children
I hope you agree with most of what you have read here and I hope you
remain
skeptical with everything that you read. I hope you check this out. Go to
Google. Start Googling this information. Teach yourself the truth about
this
issue. Find out the truth.
Do not just get your information from some doctor who has been taking
money
from the drug companies and certainly do not get your information from the
mainstream media because they are taking money from drug companies left
and
right.
No one in their right mind trusts the FDA anymore except, of course, the
drug companies because the FDA is doing their bidding. So remain
skeptical,
remain informed and please do everything in your power to protect your
children from these dangerous drugs and these evil cor****ations.
Protect your children. That is the best way that you can thank me for
putting forth this effort to get you this information and to keep
www.NaturalNews.com going is to just protect your children. Help me make a
difference. Spread this information around.
I do not want to see more children stunted in their growth and harmed by
these dangerous drugs and in fact, I would like to see this whole industry
overturned. This whole sham of psychiatric medicine should come crumbling
down real soon now. It can only do so if people like you -- intelligent
consumers like you continue to stay informed and continue to voice your
concerns.
Speak out! Take a stand! Do not be rolled over by these dangerous
cor****ations -- these powerful entities who seem to be in control in
society
today.
They will not last much longer. Trust me because the truth is coming out
about these issues and as this truth comes out that house of cards is
going
to come falling down. Stand up, voice your truth, and protect the health
of
your children.
