Ritalin, Long Term Risks Unknown
By Ina Woolcott
Ritalin is an amphetamine drug used to ‘treat’ the made up medical disorder, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). This disastrous drug stunts the growth of children. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, tells that after 3 years on the psychotropic drug, children are one inch shorter and weigh around 4.4lbs less than their peers.
As was to be expected, the psychiatric industry, has been attempting to play down the growth-stunting effects of Ritalin - they have actually been doing this for at least a decade.
Research done by psychiatrists over the last several years working for the National Institutes of Health initially found evidence of the drugs capacity to stunt the growth of children. However, they STILL concluded that Ritalin leads to ‘no long-term growth risk’ in children. FOOTNOTE: by the way, these researchers did not mention their financial conflicts of interest with drug companies.
Due to this, psychiatrists don’t make parents privy to the fact that that Ritalin stunts the growth of their children. Instead they would rather focus on telling parents that their children just NEED ‘treatment’ to correct a ‘brain chemistry disorder’, which was actually a con designed by the Big Pharma supported psychiatric industry as a way to sell more drugs to children who don't need them.
Doesn’t this make you feel sick? Its shocking to what lengths people would go to make money. Especially those people who are meant to have our best interests at heart and whom a hell of a lot people blindly trust.
Ritalin is an amphetamine
On the streets, Ritalin is available as ‘speed.’ Selling speed to children is a crime, yet giving kids speed with a prescription is called ‘treatment’. Dosing innocent children with strong, mind-changing drugs is a form of chemical abuse - but shockingly it is permitted today because it is disguised as medicine. Parents, as well as teachers far to easily, readily and quickly agree to the mass drugging of schoolchildren because the symptoms of ADHD seemingly go away. This drugging is ultimately pursued for the convenience of the children's caretakers and the profits of powerful drug companies, not out of any real concern regarding the health of the children.
Change in diet makes the symptoms of ADHD go within 2 weeks
Nutritional research has proven that symptoms of ADHD can be TOTALLY reversed in 80% of children in just two weeks by removing processed foods and chemical food additives from their diets. In the end all that ADHD is, is simply an expression of behaviour brought on by extreme dietary imbalances.
The entire theory of ADHD can also be totally dismissed by handing a child ’diagnosed’ with ADHD a controller to a computer such as a Playstation or X-Box. One will soon see that the child will sit down and participate in extremely focused, attentive and mentally demanding gaming activities for up to 6 hours without one break, and without distraction. If a disease such as ADHD were really out there, such behaviour would not be possible.
The truth: ADHD kids have no disease. Nearly all schools are just boring beyond belief. Cildren don't learn well by being made to sit still and listen to teachers ramble their way through meaningless, dull text book gibberish, whatever the subject may be. Children learn best by actually physically doing things. Not by copying off a black/white board. Kids are naturally full of energy. This energy has a useful function if it's directed into experiential learning exercises.
Health damage
In spite of this new research regarding stunting the growth of children, there are still questions left unanswered - do children ever regain their normal height and body weight? Does the drug cause an irreversible, permanent stunting of growth? Also, a drug that stunts physical growth may possibly also stunt the growth of brain cells and the nervous system, leading to intellectually stunted children at the same time.
Laughably, psychiatrists have previously tried to argue that Ritalin didn’t cause the stunting of growth but in fact ADHD itself, and that Ritalin was the only way to return children to "normal" growth. This twisted logic is rife in modern psychiatric medicine. Numerous psychiatric "disorders" always seem to be invented at the exact ‘coincidental’ moment that profitable pharmaceuticals become available to treat them.
Long term effects??
NO-ONE knows what the long-term effects of Ritalin on children are. No long term studies have been carried out. It is a guessing and waiting game. Kids are like lab animals, with big pharma waiting to see what may happen after years of drug abuse. This is often the case nowadays, every day people are being used at therie own expense to create big profits. Why cant you guys out there who don’t see this wake up to reality and realise this? Why let you and your loved ones be drugged up to the eyeballs?
