Following the diagnosis of this apparent condition, many a
pharmaceutical company and prescribing practitioner have lined their pockets
only to leave in the wake of this massive launch of child-drugging, tragedies
and heart-ache, parents and children who are still seeking an answer.
Looking in the Wrong
Direction
Instead of looking at every factor in a child's life that
could contribute to their symptoms, many pediatricians are quick to prescribe
medications to solve the problem. While parents believe the advice that their
child needs these medications, medical science brings evidence to the table
that proves that environmental and medical conditions can cause hyperactivity
and inattentiveness in children.
Case #1
CBS
News quoted a new study out in Pediatrics that shows a connection between
high exposure to common pesticides and increased risk for children developing
hyperactivity. A study performed on children who were diagnosed with ADHD
analyzed their urine for dialkyl phosphates, which would suggest that
organophosphate pesticides were in their bodies.
Here’s what they said:
“For a 10-fold increase in one class of those compounds, the
odds of ADHD increased by more than half. And for the most common breakdown
product, called dimethyl triophosphate, the odds of ADHD almost doubled in kids
with above-average levels compared to those without detectable levels,
according to Reuters.”
Case #2
According to Dr. Doris Rapp, a leading authority on
allergies “If you have allergies in your family, your child might not have hay
fever or asthma but might simply have an unrecognized form of allergy from
dust, molds, pollen, foods or chemicals. Any allergenic exposure
could be affecting different areas of the brain or body, so your child
feels, acts, behaves, walks, talks, writes and draws differently than
normal. This can happen suddenly for no apparent reason. The
answer might be easy and fast to treat—and if it is a food, it also can be
very inexpensive. Many mothers have reported they have a new child
in 5 to 7 days after a special allergy diet and an air purifier.”
Furthermore, in an interview with Phil Donahue (back in 1989), Dr. Rapp
showed clearly that unwanted and extreme behaviors in children can be attributed
to allergies. A quick change can be handled with change in diet. Still, the solution today seems to be prescription medications. Have a look at what she had to say:
Case #3
From another perspective, Science Daily reports that
“Thyroid hormone may play a role in the hyperactive and impulsive symptoms of
children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).”
There are many Medical
Doctors throughout the United
States and around the world who are
concerned about the psychiatric medications that are being administered to
children. The FDA labeling on these
medications contain seriously scary side effect warnings, including sudden
death, suicidal ideation, psychosis, hallucinations and more.
Parents have the right to be fully informed about other possible causes
of symptoms and the alternative treatments that are available for children.
