Helping, Not Betraying, Children

Michael was 8 years old when he was diagnosed with “ADHD” at school and prescribed psychiatric drugs. His mother didn’t like the idea, but was told by psychologists and psychiatrists that unless Michael took their “medication” he would not be allowed to stay in class. After taking the prescribed drugs, he became disruptive, argued with his parents and ran away from home. His mother, Patricia, realized that his behavior started with his taking the drugs. She sought the help of a medical doctor who doesn’t prescribe psychiatric drugs. She discovered Michael suffered severe allergies, the symptoms of which were identical to those listed by psychiatrists as “ADHD.” The doctor slowly took him off the drugs and made sure he didn’t eat foods to which he reacted badly. He also received tutoring to catch up on the schooling he had missed while influenced by the drugs he had taken. He returned to his “old self.” Today, Michael is an outspoken teenager who can strip and put together a computer faster than his father and wants to become a film director.

Fred Shaw tells this story: “A black youth was brought to the home, diagnosed as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). The treating psychologist said that we wouldn’t want to take him. As he supposedly had ADD, I asked the boy some basic questions: ‘What’s the longest time you’ve ever talked with a girl on the phone? ‘Three to five hours,’ he replied. ‘Do you remember what she said?’ He could remember it all. ‘How long can you play a Nintendo [video] game?’ He told me he’d played it eight hours straight. ‘What about books? Can you read?’ He said he read books from the beginning to end—the ones he liked reading. He’d also played full games of basketball. So it appeared to me that he could pay attention to anything that he was interested in.”

The drugging of our children is only one aspect of psychiatry’s assault on minorities or other racial targets, and protecting our children requires great vigilance from all parents. But the psychiatric profession has a financial interest in ensuring that racist ideas continue to influence our society. The way to ensure freedom from their consequences is to continue to identify and limit the influence of the exact source of this social poison—psychiatrists and psychologists.

The psychiatric profession has a financial interest in ensuring that racist ideas continue to plague our future leaders.
