- Drug Pushers and Child Snatchers Work In Tundum

- The pharmaceutical industry has completely taken over the treatment of
- medical and psychiatric treat,emt. Everything, and I am mean everything
- is geared towards getting every American on medication and keeping them
- on medication for the rest of their lives. There is no more vulnerable
- population, to this medical tyranny, than our children.
- There is no greater example of this medical tyranny than the latest
- craze in unscientific psychiatric diagnostics than the brand new
- condition now being referred to as �Sluggish Cognitive Tempo� (SLT).
- I As a former mental health therapist, I can barely hold back my
- laughter at this thinly veiled attempt to separate parents from their
- hard earned money by making them think that the their perfectly normal
- child is mentally ill.
- Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (lol)
- This is a remarkably ridiculous name for an even more ludicrous diagnosis.
- The main characteristics of SLT are vaguely described but include some
- combination of daydreaming, lethargy and slow mental processing, you know,
- like we do when we watch television.
- The advocates of this diagnosis contend that SCT afflicts about two million
- children. And that great pharmaceutical whore, Eli Lilly, is waiting in the
- wings preparing to medicate the developing and highly vulnerable brains of
- these two million children with the latest in dangerous and mind-destroying
- psychotropic medications which will leave the user with a brain damaged
- future and a medical treatment history which will render many of these
- children with an uninsurable medical insurance future.
- The Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology has sold its professional soul and
- its professional ethics to Big Pharma as it is seriously promoting this voodoo
- form of diagnostics. The latest issue of their publication donates a record
- 136 pages to the topic of SLT. And where do we find children with SLT?
- Probably standing next to the adults who have Restless Leg Syndrome.
- The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)-Edition IV & V
- DSM is the Bible of mental illnesses. The book serves a training guide for
- graduate and the PhD students as well as serving as a professional guide for
- treatment intervention amongst mental health practitioners.
- By the time a child is 21 years of age, under DSM -IV guidelines, 80% of all
- young adults qualify to be diagnosed as mentally ill and, as such, are subject
- to being medicated.
- The newest version of DSM has made this problem far worse. Normal temper
- tantrums have been turned into a diagnosable and pharmacologically treatable
- illness called �Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder�. Normal adolescent
- rebellion is now being labeled as �Oppositional Defiant Disorder�. Normal
- childhood restlessness is now diagnosed as �ADHD� in children as early as
- two years of age. Childhood Autism and childhood Bipolar Disorder are
- pharmaceutical goldmines and have increased forty fold in the last 20 years.
- The ADHD Scam
- More than 10,000 American toddlers 2 or 3 years old are being medicated for
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder outside established pediatric guidelines
- and professional medical practices, according to data recently presented by the
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- According to the CDC, 11% of the country�s children are diagnosed with ADHD.
- This is ludicrous and is just not possible. These children have ADHD according
- to whom? The answer to this question consists of two parts. First, Big Pharma
- is using its influence to �push� the diagnostic criteria in the direction of
- many more positive diagnoses. More diagnoses means more profit-making pill
- pushing. Second, there is no illness, with these kinds of unsustainable rates
- of diagnosis that could impact the population to this degree. If there really
- were an 11% rate of autism in this country, we would be forced to change what
- is considered to be normal behavior since most mental illness models are loosely
- based upon a bell curve distribution. Therefore, just based on the surface
- evidence, these diagnostic rates cannot justified.
- If these medications are dangerous for children, we would not know because very
- few scientific studies have examined the use of ADHD stimulant medications in
- young children. A widely referenced 2006 study found that the ADHD medication,
- methylphenidate, could �somewhat� mitigate ADHD like symptoms in preschoolers.
- However, the study�s conclusions were based on researched derived from
- insufficiently sized researched groups. Only about a dozen 3-year-olds were
- included in the study, and there were no 2-year-olds, yet we continue to
- medicate these young vulnerable minds. Most researchers on that study,
- sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health, have significant financial
- ties to pharmaceutical companies that made ADHD medications.
- A multitude of studies indicates that children who are prescribed psychotropic
- drugs are much more likely to become drug addicts as adults.
- Parents Are the First Line of Defense
- If you have ever sat in the waiting room of your child�s pediatrician�s
- office and you have seen well-dressed, attractive young adults enter the
- office armed with notebooks as they are ushered in to see the doctor ahead
- of the waiting patients, then there is a very good chance that your doctor
- is a Big Pharma whore. The well-dressed pill pushers are there for your child�s
- doctor in order to �make deals� and promise bonuses for prescribing certain
- drugs. The odds are stacked against your child before they ever see their doctor.
- In combating this medical tyranny, parents are the only line of defense. However,
- parents must be very careful in how they express their refusal in not allowing
- their children to be diagnosed with bogus conditions and treated with dangerous
- drugs.
- When your doctor offers to put your child on mind-numbing drugs, seek a second
- opinion. However, be very, very, careful how seek that second opinion as it
- could cost you custody of your child.
- Beware of CPS
- �There is no system ever devised by mankind that is guaranteed to rip husband
- and wife or father, mother and child apart so bitterly than our present Family
- Court System.�
- - Judge Brian Lindsay
- Retired Supreme Court Judge
- New York, New York
- Just ask Jodi Ferris, Anna Nikolayev, or Justina Pelltier�s parents what happens
- when a parent dares to question the almighty doctor and seek a second opinion for
- their child. The doctor and his wounded ego will frequently call CPS and the
- parent�s problem goes from bad to worse.
- My advice is simple if you desire to seek a second medical opinion for your child.
- Do not tell your child�s pediatrician that is your intention. Take the prescription
- that the doctor writes, just do not fill the prescription. Then schedule a second
- opinion visit with another doctor. If you get a disconfirming diagnosis, then make
- immediate arrangements to change doctors. Once your child has a different doctor,
- the authorities are powerless in seizing your child for medical neglect when the
- complaining doctor is no longer the physician of record and the second doctor is
- not making a recommendation to medicate.
- Conclusion
- Thirty million adults, about 40% of the adult population, are on anti-depressants.
- Twenty million, or about 66% of this group, should not be on anti-depressants.
- Adults can say no, it is not the same issue when it comes to medicating your child.
- However, your child doesn�t have that same choice. You, as the parent, must make
- that choice for them.
