IMPORTANT
FACTS
1. Psychiatrists theorize
that mental problems stem from a “chemical imbalance” in the brain or are the
result of a “neurobiological
disorder” to justify the administration of powerful mind-altering drugs.
2. Children have been
diagnosed with “chemical imbalances” despite the fact that no test exists to
support such a claim and there is no real conception of what a correct chemical
balance looks like.
3. With millions of children
fraudulently labeled with ”ADHD,” psychiatrists are creating a generation of
drug addicts. The manufacturer of one stimulant prescribed for “ADHD” admits
it is a drug of dependency.
4. Millions of children
and adolescents are also taking antidepressants that British, Australian, European
and U.S. drug regulatory agencies have warned can cause suicide.
5. The rise in gratuitous
and murderous violence amongst youth is linked to the introduction of and increases
in violence-inducing drugs being prescribed to them.
Matthew Smith was forced by his school to take a psychiatric stimulant to
help him “focus” better. However, in 2000, at age 14, he died of a heart attack
that a coroner attributed to the prescribed stimulant. More and more children
are being diagnosed with ADHD, a “disease” that has never been clinically proven
to exist. Widespread marketing has been partly responsible for the increase.
CHAPTER
THREE Child Drug Pushing
When James was first diagnosed with attention deficit disorder,
his mother refused to put him on psychiatric drugs and transferred him to another
school. James’ records followed him, however, and counselors at the new school
urged a psychological evaluation be done. Diagnosis: ADD. Treatment: psychiatric
drugs.
Matters soon deteriorated. “At school, my boy was labeled, drugged
and almost died,” his mother said. Three days after being put on the drug she
received an urgent call from the school that her son was having severe chest
pains and had to be rushed to the hospital. The doctors told her it was a reaction
to the drug. When she stopped giving her son pills, the danger passed.
James was lucky. Millions of children around the world just like him are not.
Dr. Baughman reports: “The following children are no longer hyperactive
or inattentive—they are dead. Between 1994 and 2001, I was consulted, medically
or legally, formally or informally, in the following death cases: Stephanie,
11, prescribed a stimulant and died of cardiac arrhythmia;
Matthew, 13, prescribed a stimulant and died of cardiomyopathy [disease of heart
muscle]; Macauley, 7, prescribed a stimulant and three other psychiatric drugs,
suffered a cardiac arrest; Travis, 13, prescribed a stimulant and suffered cardiomyopathy;
Randy, 9, given a stimulant and several other drugs and died from cardiac arrest;
Cameron, 12, prescribed a stimulant and died from hypereosinophilic syndrome
[abnormal increase in white blood cells]. This is a high price to pay for the
‘treatment’ of a ‘disease’ that does not exist.”
