Vatic Note:  Hmmm, is this the Zombification of our youth so they grow up into compliant non thinking, non resisting slaves?  Just asking.  At the young age we see below,  you can assume they will not develop their normal brain chemistry that makes them functioning, unique individuals, while they are on the drugs prescribed for them.  Their "Maturation stages" are interfered with by the drugs.

Instead when they are taken off the drugs at 18, they will not feel normal, so they will turn to illegal drugs to feel normal again.   I met a woman in church, who had been on these ADHD drugs all her childhood and when she turned 18 and they took her off, her personal chemical development did not kick in and thus she did not feel normal.   She then turned to illegal drugs and felt normal again.

She finally, after several years, kicked the illegal drugs, but now, without any drugs, she is a recluse.  She cannot be around other people or what we would call her peers group development  was skipped because of the drugs.  She can work at a job, but that is it.  Perfect for our elites purposes.

Now she is isolated and can't go out anywhere.  I tried befriending her, but she just can't take the stress of social interaction.  This almost seems like a scam to hook the kids on these drugs at an early age, to ensure a market for the illegal drugs later on and a guaranteed slave work force that will not resist or complain, live in those ant colonies they have planned for us.  etc.

We have covered these issues for quit a few years now.  Here is a recent blog we did on this issue......http://vaticproject.blogspot.com/2014/04/creativity-and-non-conformity-now.html 

Then read this about the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders that has generated an enormous amount of controversy over the scientific nature of the elements within it.  Also when you read this, you will see the connection to the military.  What are they doing in the middle of all this? 

There is more, but what you will figure out, like everything else lately, we can no longer trust our medical profession and after the Bush/Cheney purging of our military with Obama's purging, means we can't trust the Pentagon military that is left.  All of this is so far outside of our experience that we can't comprehend just what we are seeing here.  We better get educated since I believe they are trying to do away with humanity as we know it.  


Think about what this will do in creating adults of the future that will not resemble anything human.  We are caring, loving creatures and all of that will go away.  Violence to self and others will replace it and add the IPOD's, TV violence,  Movies, etc.  to the mix and you have the makings of a mind control zombie, assassin with absolutely no value placed on human life or uniqueness, and thus to be used when and where ever needed by the elite.  That is called "SERFDOM".   We need to take this below very very seriously.   This below, proves my point and he is an advisor to our President of these United States.  That is a scary thought.  We have a massive amount of treason going on right before our eyes. Its time we stopped it cold. 

Thousands of Toddlers Are Medicated for A.D.H.D., Report Finds, Raising Worries

VLA comment:  When will they get it that it is the Vaccines.  It is about that age between 2& 3 when Autism shows up as well.  ADHD is the lower range of the Autism spectrum caused by vaccines.  Today, pregnant women are told to take 4 vaccine doses (in-utero to the fetus) and 49 vaccine doses by the time they are 6 years old. ADHD is not a mental illness it is a physiological injury from the inordinate amount of vaccines foisted on the emerging generation of humanity.

ATLANTA — More than 10,000 American toddlers 2 or 3 years old are being medicated for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder outside established pediatric guidelines, according to data presented on Friday by an official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report, which found that toddlers covered by Medicaid are particularly prone to be put on medication such as Ritalin and Adderall, is among the first efforts to gauge the diagnosis of A.D.H.D. in children below age 4. Doctors at the Georgia Mental Health Forum at the Carter Center in Atlanta, where the data was presented, as well as several outside experts strongly criticized the use of medication in so many children that young.

 

The American Academy of Pediatrics standard practice guidelines for A.D.H.D. do not even address the diagnosis in children 3 and younger — let alone the use of such stimulant medications, because their safety and effectiveness have barely been explored in that age group. “It’s absolutely shocking, and it shouldn’t be happening,” said Anita Zervigon-Hakes, a children’s mental health consultant to the Carter Center. “People are just feeling around in the dark. We obviously don’t have our act together for little children.”

Dr. Lawrence H. Diller, a behavioral pediatrician in Walnut Creek, Calif., said in a telephone interview: “People prescribing to 2-year-olds are just winging it. It is outside the standard of care, and they should be subject to malpractice if something goes wrong with a kid.”

Friday’s report was the latest to raise concerns about A.D.H.D. diagnoses and medications for American children beyond what many experts consider medically justified. Last year, a nationwide C.D.C. survey found that 11 percent of children ages 4 to 17 have received a diagnosis of the disorder, and that about one in five boys will get one during childhood.

A vast majority are put on medications such as methylphenidate (commonly known as Ritalin) or amphetamines like Adderall, which often calm a child’s hyperactivity and impulsivity but also carry risks for growth suppression, insomnia and hallucinations.

Only Adderall is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for children below age 6. However, because off-label use of methylphenidate in preschool children had produced some encouraging results, the most recent American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines authorized it in 4- and 5-year-olds — but only after formal training for parents and teachers to improve the child’s environment were unsuccessful.

Children below age 4 are not covered in those guidelines because hyperactivity and impulsivity are developmentally appropriate for toddlers, several experts said, and more time is needed to see if a disorder is truly present.

Susanna N. Visser, who oversees the C.D.C.’s research on the disorder, compiled Friday’s report through two sources: Medicaid claims in Georgia and claims by privately insured families nationwide kept by MarketScan, a research firm. Her report did not directly present a total number of toddlers 2 and 3 years old nationwide being medicated for the disorder, however her data suggested a number of at least 10,000 and perhaps many more.

Dr. Visser’s analysis of Georgia Medicaid claims found about one in 225 toddlers being medicated for A.D.H.D., or 760 cases in that state alone. Dr. Visser said that nationwide Medicaid data were not yet available, but Georgia’s rates of the disorder are very typical of the United States as a whole.

“If we applied Georgia’s rate to the number of toddlers on Medicaid nationwide, we would expect at least 10,000 of those to be on A.D.H.D. medication,” Dr. Visser said in an interview. She added that MarketScan data suggested that an additional 4,000 toddlers covered by private insurance were being medicated for the disorder.

Dr. Visser said that effective nonpharmacological treatments, such as teaching parents and day care workers to provide more structured environments for such children, were often ignored. “Families of toddlers with behavioral problems are coming to the doctor’s office for help, and the help they’re getting too often is a prescription for a Class II controlled substance, which has not been established as safe for that young of a child,” Dr. Visser said. “It puts these children and their developing minds at risk, and their health is at risk.”

Very few scientific studies have examined the use of stimulant medications in young children. A prominent 2006 study found that methylphenidate could mollify A.D.H.D.-like symptoms in preschoolers, but only about a dozen 3-year-olds were included in the study, and no 2-year-olds. Most researchers on that study, sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health, had significant financial ties to pharmaceutical companies that made A.D.H.D. medications.

Some doctors said in interviews on Friday that they understood the use of stimulant medication in 2- and 3-year-olds under rare circumstances.

Keith Conners, a psychologist and professor emeritus at Duke University who since the 1960s has been one of A.D.H.D.’s most prominent figures, said that he had occasionally recommended it when nothing else would calm a toddler who was a harm to himself or others.

Dr. Doris Greenberg, a behavioral pediatrician in Savannah, Ga., who attended 

 Dr. Visser’s presentation, said that methylphenidate can be a last resort for situations that have become so stressful that the family could be destroyed. She cautioned, however, that there should not be 10,000 such cases in the United States a year.

“Some of these kids are having really legitimate problems,” Dr. Greenberg said. 

“But you also have overwhelmed parents who can’t cope and the doctor prescribes as a knee-jerk reaction. You have children with depression or anxiety who can present the same way, and these medications can just make those problems worse.”

Dr. Visser said she could offer no firm explanation for why she found toddlers covered by Medicaid to be medicated for the disorder far more often than those covered by private insurance.

Dr. Nancy Rappaport, a child psychiatrist and director of school-based programs at Cambridge Health Alliance outside Boston who specializes in underprivileged youth, said that some home environments can lead to behavior often mistaken for A.D.H.D., particularly in the youngest children.

“In acting out and being hard to control, they’re signaling the chaos in their environment,” Dr. Rappaport said. “Of course only some homes are like this — but if you have a family with domestic violence, drug or alcohol abuse, or a parent neglecting a 2-year-old, the kid might look impulsive or aggressive. And the parent might just want a quick fix, and the easiest thing to do is medicate. It’s a travesty.”
