ADHD "CALL IN" LINE: MISLEADING THE PUBLIC TO REINFORCE A $1.3 BILLION A YEAR CHILD DRUGGING CASH COW
LOS ANGELES CA October 20 2003-— In an apparent attempt to dampen the controversy over the widespread drugging of millions of children for the medically maligned psychiatric label, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) , the public were invited today to call a "hotline" to find out more about ADHD. However, most were probably unaware that the manufacturer of one of the top selling stimulants used to "treat" ADHD sponsored the hotline.
According to the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR), a mental health watchdog, the public is being deceived when undeclared vested interests sponsor such "ADHD" campaigns, warning that it is a case of "buyer beware." The drugs often proffered as a "solution" are more potent than cocaine and can be just as addictive. Underlying nearly every pro "ADHD medication" campaign lays a $1.3 billion a year child drugging industry that has come under international criticism.
On June 17th, 2003, the pharmaceutically funded group, Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (CHADD), announced the launch of a national "ADHD educational initiative" despite the fact that the group had been severely criticized by both the United Nations International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for their ties to pharmaceutical interests. More than half of the drugs promoted on the CHADD website are manufactured by companies that fund CHADD. CHADD was one of the groups presented as "experts" for today's ADHD call-in.
Marla Filidei, Vice President of CCHR International says, "CHADD frequently justifies its pro drug cheerleading tactics by claiming that ADHD is a neurobiological disorder. However the statement is false. ADHD has never been scientifically proven to be a neurological or biological condition, as CHADD is well aware. Parents are not told that there is no medical test to diagnose the condition." According to Dr. Fred Baughman Jr., neurologist, child neurologist and Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology, the claim that ADHD is a "disease" or "neurobiological" is "a perversion of science and medicine, and is a lie."
CCHR warns that information given from groups with vested interests in promoting drug treatment will not be getting "the truth and nothing but the truth." "Certainly, they will not be told that there is compelling medical evidence that 'ADHD' symptoms can be caused by a myriad of conditions: allergies, toxins, lead poisoning, even a lack of phonics in education. Properly addressed, the symptoms disappear and ADHD becomes a myth," Filidei said. "After all, the livelihood of special interest groups is at stake and the myths they are promoting are keeping them in business at the expense of children's lives."
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights. For more information, call 800-869-2247.

ADHD Awareness Season: A Call from Wildest Colts Resources: To All Caring Adults Fall, 2004
September 22, 2004 -- We proclaim this glorious Fall a season of awareness, a time to be really awake and aware, to clear our minds and open our hearts, to look closely at the truth of how our nation is currently responding to the needs of our children. We ask that all caring adults face this reality with their hearts fully open to the natural deep caring that we feel for our young people.
We declare Fall 2004 as ADHD Awareness Season.
Psychiatry says that ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a “mental illness” that strikes millions of our children, requiring that they take stimulant drugs to hold their disease at bay and eke out a functional existence in the society of the schools.
The light of awareness clearly reveals that this is a lie. Disease is revealed by objective identification of a physical or chemical abnormality, and the truth is that there is no such evidence exists. Clear-sighted awareness sees that, no matter what an “expert” might say, disease cannot be diagnosed by behavior, and that to drug a child for their behavior is not medicine—it is child abuse. We take a look at Dr. Fred Baughman’s website, www.adhdfraud.com, and we begin to consider the possibility that something profoundly unethical is going on.
Our definition of ADHD is this:
A is for Attention! This Fall season, we wake up. We look past the onslaught of corporate, professional, institutional and media propaganda about the myriad “mental illnesses” our children are alleged to suffer, and we clearly observe the facts as we consider that an estimated 10 million of our children are on psychotropic drugs today, and the federal government’s New Freedom Commission insists that we intensely look for more “mentally ill” children in the schools and elsewhere.
D is for Death! This season, we look around with our vow of awareness, and we see and hear the parents whose children have died from the effects of their “ADHD” medicine. We hear Larry and Kelly Smith tell us about their son Matthew, who dropped over dead while skateboarding at age 14, and we learn from the medical examiner that he died for heart damage caused by long term stimulant drug use to treat his “ADHD.” The medicine was called Ritalin, and when we look a little closer we discover that there 186 Ritalin-related heart deaths reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the 1990s; we also learn that this voluntary reporting system is said by experts to represent only 1-10% of the actual incidence, which means up to 18,600 heart deaths from this one drug alone. We ask a question? So just what is Ritalin? We learn from the drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that Ritalin is a controlled substance called methylphenidate, and that it is virtually identical to methamphetamine (crystal speed) and cocaine in its pharmacology and its effects. We vow to keep asking questions, and we keep looking, maybe next going to Larry Smith’s website, www.ritalindeath.com.
We meet other parents. We listen to Vicki and Steve Dunkle, and hear how their 10-year-old daughter, Shaina, died in Vicki’s arms of Desipramine toxicity, prescribed for her “ADHD.” We hear that this has also happened to others, such as Jackie Morgan, whose son died as his organ systems deteriorated due to the effects of Desipramine, again for “ADHD.” We vow to keep our eyes open, and we go on to visit another website, www.ablechild.org, which is an organization of aggrieved parents, including the Dunkles, who are demanding a label and drug free education for all our children. When we look at this site, we begin to see clearly that not only are children being recommended all these drugs, but that parents are being pressured and coerced to label and drug their children. We click on the website’s legislation link, and we are impressed to see that states all over the country have passed laws to challenge this coercion. We go on over to the Wildest Colts Resources site at www.wildestcolts.com, and we read a Texans For Safe Education press release about two new laws in Texas that back off the schools and child Protective service agencies from threatening and coercing parents to drug their children.
We hear that it is not only the stimulant drugs that are causing death to our children, and we find our way to testimony from this past Spring season’s FDA hearings on the so-called antidepressants. We hear the testimony of Glenn McIntosh about his daughter, Caitlin, who killed herself by hanging in the middle school bathroom. We learn that she has a lot of company in departed souls whose suicidal tragedies were triggered by the effects of the so-called Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, the SSRI type antidepressants like Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor, Celexa, Remeron and the like. We see that while the FDA’s equivalent in England has basically banned these drugs for use with children, we see that our own FDA, apparently corrupted by their close alliance with the pharmaceutical industry, has demonstrated a pattern of stonewalling, avoiding confrontation, aiding and abetting the rapid increase of the use of these very dangerous drugs with our children. We are heartened that under pressure, because of intense activism by people who deeply care about children, the FDA agreed in mid-September to put a Black Box warning on SSRIs, warning that they can and do cause suicidal dynamics in young people.
We allow ourselves to be aware of the extent of psychotropic drug use on children, and of the full extent of the effects of these drugs—on every organ system of the body, and on our children’s mental and emotional development.
H is for Horror. We open our eyes this Fall season. As we look past the industry line about “ADHD” and its “medicine,” we see millions of children—who have no real disease—put on very dangerous, very harmful drugs. To see the professional and corporate and governmental lies and cover-ups, to see the deaths, to see the zombie effect, to see all the children who now believe they are defective and need drugs to cope with life—to see these things is to see horror, and we desperately want to turn away. This Fall season, we ask that you call on the truth of your deep caring for our children and for life, and that you keep your heart open so that your eyes may be open and that you may be aware. Then you will also see that we are putting more of our children on other drugs like the so-called neurleptics (Thorazine, Haldo, Zyprexa, Risperdal), already known to have unleashed the largest neurological epidemic, with over a million adults suffering from Tardive Dyskinesia, in the history of the world. Likewise, we see one and two-year-olds placed on these toxic, addictive psychotropic drugs, and it feels like our heart is being torn out! Horror.
This Fall 2004 is ADHD Awareness season. Awareness comes at a high price. We pay with our tears and with our outrage. The alternative is that we pay with our children’s lives.
D is for Destruction. We bear witness to the destruction of our children, and we clearly see that it is considered an acceptable price to pay for the sake of corporate pharmaceutical profit, and for the false beliefs and vested interests of the representatives of our psychiatric and educational institutions.
D is for Diversity. This is a glorious Fall season. We know that our children and our planet are in danger, and that intolerance and suppression of difference is a prime cause. In contrast, we proudly defend diversity and the uniqueness of persons!
D is also for Determination. This Fall season, we make this passionate vow. No one… no power…no principality… will force us to drug our children. No way.
D is also for Delight. This Fall season, we make this passionate wow. No one, no thing, will deny us the sheer joy and pleasure of
seeing our children through the eyes of delight. For this is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and our children. It is our birthright, and we claim it!

Tips on coping with a child with ADHD
I am a mother of a 6 year old son who was recently diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I am by no means a expert on this subject - I am only a mom who struggles to help my ADHD child.
Listed below are some tips I have learned from experience along the way.
1. Life with a child who has ADHD has its challenges, but remember that your child is not acting up because they want to be difficult - they can't help it . So it 's up to you to stay calm and avoid arguing with your child. It helps to keep the daily routine and home life as calm, predictable and stress-free as possible.
2. Accept that there is a problem, whether or not you accept the diagnosis. Denial will not help you or your child.
3. Be prepared to feel guilty about the time you spend with your ADHD child compared to the time you spend with your other children. Other family members may start to feel like your are neglecting them.
4. Take care of yourself - it is often challenging to raise a child with ADHD. Caring for your own physical and mental health is an important part of helping your child, and will provide you with the necessary energy when you need it the most.
5. The most important thing is NEVER punish your child while you are angry. Take a breather away from the child before you hand out any punishment to your child. Disicipline that belittles or shames a child can truly be harmful.
6. Start rewarding instead of punishing. You've probably already discovered how useless it is to try to punish your child when he 's running around or tuning you out. What I have found with my child is how well he responds to simple rewards. Praise good behavior immediately ("You brushed your teeth, just like I asked you to! Thanks so much!") and give your child a reward that pleases him such as a special snack or extra time to watch TV, for example. The reward should be something he can enjoy right away; kids with ADHD don 't like to wait.
7. Realize you are not alone. There are many parents out there who have a child with ADHD. If you need to talk to someone, you can find support groups out there. Talk to your Doctor or Therapist. They can point you in the right direction to find support.

Aquariums Part of Solution to Attention Deficit Behavior among South Florida Children
According to Dr. Aubrey Fine, a leading researcher in the area of pet therapy, when patients have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), aquariums provide an opportunity to point out impulsiveness and lack of attention in a non-threatening way. In fact, fish tanks are documented to sooth agitated feelings.
Stephen McCarty, founder of Pompano Beach-based Aquariums by the Sea, (www.aquariumsbythesea.com) is a marine biologist who has built thousands of customized fish tanks for South Floridians. McCarty report a dramatic increase of custom built homes, yachts, restaurants, and office buildings with 500 gallon plus aquariums.
Pet therapists have quantified the statistical impact of lower blood press from watching fish aquariums and concluded that the hypnotic nature of aquariums provides serene and peaceful psychological and physiological impacts. Anecdotally, clients of McCarty’s have reported that staring into a miniature ocean makes them less anxious and more willing to accept life conditions, rather than getting upset or agitated.
The large aquariums serving as foyer entrances, waiting room viewing, and restaurant centerpieces will be shown weekly, as Aquariums by the Sea is one of the key sponsors on the new PAX television program South Florida Pets! that begins airing on Tuesdays, 10am, starting April 30th.
