I told them I don't want my son on drugs. They tried to tell me that kids placed on prescription drugs for ADHD perform much better and are much more successful later in life but the studies done on ADHD shows this is a lie!
I was called to the school by the principal to talk about the behavior of my son and how he was being disruptive in class and not following the teachers orders. I was told my son cannot sit still, is very fidgety, talks when he shouldn't be talking, and doesn't think before he acts. I told them it's normal behavior for boys his age. I don't understand what the problem is. He called in his home room teacher to back up his bs. So she comes in and says Oh yes Mr. Simmons is right, we think he needs some medication so he will perform better and stop being disruptive. I said no way! I'm not putting my son on drugs that could have a bad effect on him later in life. I've heard too many horror stories about kids who were put on Ritalin, Adderol, Prozac, and Stratera. They informed me it would be the best decision since he is now in the fourth grade and he would be much more successful. His grades would improve and his interactions with his peers would also improve. They told me about other kids who were struggling who were prescribed medication and they want on to become doctors and lawyers. I wasn't buying none of it! I told them again I'm not putting my son on medication that could cause long term health effects. His teacher interrupted and said how about just letting him visit with a psychiatrist to see if he does a have mental illness and if it turns out he doesn't then we won't press the issue any further. I said okay. They recommended some psychiatrists that I could take my son to. Okay so first of all they are pressuring me to place my son on stimulant drugs which according to the Prohibition on Mandatory Medication Amendment which passed into federal law in 2004 is a violation of federal law! So second of all I don't trust psychiatrists or their mental evaluation bs! Dr Mary Ann Block wrote a book called "No more ADHD"Its about how psychiatrists lie about the condition known as ADHD just to make money. Also Stephen Guffanti mentioned on his website that school districts make money as much as 1,000 dollars per child who is labeled with ADHD. He says insurance companies pay claims based on diagnosis of ADHD. He mentions Special Ed also brings extra money into the school district. So what are they really trying to do? Make extra money off of my son and cause my son to have damaging long term health effects? Why? What did my son do to deserve that kind of treatment? I don't trust Ritalin, Adderall Concerta, Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, or Risperdal! Even some of the natural drugs that are supposedly natural I don't trust! There's something else going on here that needs to be looked into or investigated. And according to this site called ADHD scam! According to the medication and the results. 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 assessment 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? 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. And they want my son to be put on this s***? I dont think so! I think I'm going to enroll my son in another school and anyone else who has been out through this brainwashing crap by that school needs to get their kids away from that school! They don't seem to have good intentions for my son even though they acted like it was for his benefit! Liars!
