Before you do what anyone tells you. Before you listen to experts. Before you push pills on your child, Please, read what science is telling us about medicating children for ADHD.
This is important, as these drugs are not as minor as they tell you. I am a biased source, only fair i should tell you that. I have seen the devestating effects of these drugs used on children with ADHD up close. Including the death of a friend from Ritalin.
The sites listed here are not mine. I simply present them here for your consideration. I offer hard science. They offer fear. The choice is as always yours.
They will not be honest enough to disclose their connections to the pharmaceutical companies. I can and will truly state for the record my income is provided by my work in archaeology and my husband’s work in physics. We receive nothing from any drug company. There is no conflict of interest here. Before you medicate your child look at the science please, and you ask yourselves, if your experts can truthfully say the same about their connections to the drug industry and the conflict of interest issue.
