We talked about the way this works. Get those kids on the ritalin, then when they are 18 and taken off, they do not feel normal with their own brain and chemistry kicking in, so they turn to illegal drugs to try and feel normal. That is the reason Bush did what he did in promoting all this. Remember when Bush Jr wanted the school nurses to diagnose and dispense the ritalin? Now you know why.
Inventor of ADHD’s Deathbed Confession: “ADHD is a Fictitious Disease”

"The consumption of pharmacological agents altered the child’s behavior without any contribution on his or her part. That amounted to interference in the child’s freedom and personal rights, because pharmacological agents induced behavioral changes but failed to educate the child on how to achieve these behavioral changes independently. The child was thus deprived of an essential learning experience to act autonomously and emphatically which “considerably curtails children’s freedom and impairs their personality development”, the NEK criticized.
The alarmed critics of the Ritalin disaster are now getting support from an entirely different side. The German weekly Der Spiegel quoted in its cover story on 2 February 2012 the US American psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg, born in 1922 as the son of Russian
Since 1968, however, some 40 years, Leon Eisenberg’s “disease” haunted the diagnostic and statistical manuals, first as “hyperkinetic reaction of childhood”, now called “ADHD”. The use of ADHD medications in Germany rose in only eighteen years from 34 kg (in 1993) to a record of no less than 1760 kg (in 2011) – which is a 51-fold increase in sales! In the United States every tenth boy among ten year-olds already swallows an ADHD medication on a daily basis. With an increasing tendency.
When it comes to the proven repertoire of Edward Bernays, the father of propaganda, to sell the First World War to his people with the help of his uncle’s psychoanalysis and to distort science and the faith in science to increase profits of the industry – what about investigating on whose behalf the “scientific father of ADHD” conducted science?
His career was remarkably steep, and his “fictitious disease” led to the best sales increases. And after all, he served in the “Committee for DSM V and ICD XII, American Psychiatric Association” from 2006 to 2009. After all, Leon Eisenberg received “the Ruane Prize for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Research. He has been a leader in child psychiatry for more than 40 years through his work in pharmacological trials, research, teaching, and social policy and for his theories of autism and social medicine”.
And after all, Eisenberg was a member of the “Organizing Committee for Women and Medicine Conference, Bahamas, November 29 – December 3, 2006, Josiah Macy Foundation (2006)”. The Josiah Macy Foundation organized conferences with intelligence agents of the OSS, later CIA, such as Gregory Bateson and Heinz von Foerster during and long after World War II. Have such groups marketed the diagnosis of ADHD in the service of the pharmaceutical market and tailor-made for him with a lot of propaganda and public relations?
It is this issue that the American psychologist Lisa Cosgrove and others investigated in their study Financial Ties between DSM-IV Panel Members and the Pharmaceutical Industry7. They found that “Of the 170 DSM panel members 95 (56%) had one or more financial associations with companies in the pharmaceutical industry.
One hundred percent of the members of the panels on ‘Mood Disorders’ and ‘Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders’ had financial ties to drug companies. The connections are especially strong in those diagnostic areas where drugs are the first line of treatment for mental disorders.”
In the next edition of the manual, the situation is unchanged. “Of the 137 DSM-V panel members who have posted disclosure statements, 56% have reported industry ties – no improvement over the percent of DSM-IV members.” “The very vocabulary of psychiatry is now defined at all levels by the pharmaceutical industry,” said Dr Irwin Savodnik, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California at Los Angeles.
This is well paid. Just one example: "The Assistant Director of the Pediatric Psychopharmacology Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School received “$1 million in earnings from drug companies between 2000 and 2007”.
In any case, no one can easily get around the testimony of the father of ADHD: “ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.”
The task of psychologists, educators and doctors is not to put children on the “chemical lead” because the entire society cannot handle the products of its misguided theories of man and raising children, and instead hands over our children to the free pharmaceutical market.
Let us return to the basic matter of personal psychology and education: The child is to acquire personal responsibility and emphatic behavior under expert guidance – and that takes the family and the school: In these fields, the child should be able to lead off mentally. This constitutes the core of the human person.

When I was in school, they always claimed I had ADHD. I had teachers literally beg my parents to put me on meds "it makes their grades improve" thankfully they never listened. I wrote about it in school in my blogs 'What I Learned From School' if you'd like to read it someday.
ReplyDeleteThe meds they put these kids on make them grow up addicted, by the time they reach adulthood, they will be so used to taking something they will move on to harder narcotics. This is where the future meth addicts are born.
Yes, Gary, I would love to read it. I told you I had done Tutoring of 4th graders in math about two years ago. They assigned me 6 students who were literally failing math. I got the students and realized these were very smart kids and I could not understand why they were failing. So I talked with the teacher and she invited me to attend one of her math classes of 4th graders, so I did. She explained how the Feds changed all the teaching techniques the teachers used to use depending on the age of the students.
ReplyDeleteIt was terrible, so once I saw how they were teaching them, I knew what the problems was. So, I turned it around since I was only a tutor and did not have to comply with their tight anal retentive control of "how these kids were learning" As a tutor I only had to worry about results. I lasted one quarter and quit.
This year I ran into the parents of those kids, and they told me that their kids were doing B+ and A- grades, which was a huge improvement for them. We have to get the federal government out of our schools.
