The Lies About ADHD Medication That Big Pharma Funds

Thanks for thread, my wife just ordered the book for us after reading this. 

The fellow who invented  'ADHD' basically admitted on his deathbed that it was a made-up syndrome to sell pharmaceuticals.  Some old German fellow,  name escapes me.  This would have been 4-5 years back.

He felt bad about the fraud he'd perpetuated,  and wanted to apologize.

sorry I don't have any more precise details at the moment -- just a clear recollection of my reading about said occurrence.  I'll try to provide a name soon.  Could have been Austrian,  not German.

OK,  took me a few minutes to look it up.  I was indeed confused,  but not 'ass-talking' (although I'd love to learn how.  That would amuze and confound the Hüsky quite a lot).

It was an American doctor,  Leon Eisenberg,  but the article was in Der Spiegel,  which is a German publication.  Guy died in 2009 so that's about seven years,  not 4-5 like I thought.  So excuse my imprecise memories.  I already knew it was a huge pusher - scam to peddle Ritalin to toddlers.

Couple links to articles below,  read up and build your expertise.

There’s absolutely no doubt that kids with slow processing speed and/or underdeveloped executive functioning get diagnosed with ADHD and are given drugs.

There’s also no doubt that at least 95% of the kids given the drugs DO NOT need them. 

I’m no expert, but I sure as hell have taught hundreds of kids with the ADHD diagnosis. I’ve seen very few for whom the methamphetamines have truly been a savior. It’s a savior for the teachers and parents, but that’s because they are lazy and don’t want to teach executive functioning, or teach skills to mitigate slow processing.

They need skills, not drugs. I don’t know if ADHD really is a thing, or just a lame catch-all, and I don’t care. The over-prescription of amphetamine salts, to young kids, is sickening. And people wonder why they love opiates as they get older. They are raised in a drug culture.

I have no experience in early-childhood education,  other than a brief stint as a Driving Instructor.  Those kids were mainly in the 16-18 year range.  That was about 30+ years ago.  I don't think many of them were taking speed.  Some were better learners than others.  They all picked up on the details of driving much quicker,  compared to the few older people who wanted to learn at age 35-45.   I think that's because kids who've been attending school for over a decade are conditioned toward learning and processing new information more efficiently than the older people.

Personally,  I don't take any prescription drugs,  but I've got a bottle of Aspirin and some Ibuprofen in the cabinet.  For Vitamin C,  I like the Calcium Ascorbate,  and I'm told that it's more bioavailable compared to Ascorbic Acid.

BTW  I can't cite the Der Spiegel article,  as I don't read or speak German much.  Maybe someone else can find it and translate.  I know there is a German Teacher who posts here.

Disco stu really is one of the worst. Taking another interesting thread and making it all about himself.

That statement is too general and it pisses me off.

I'll go ahead and read the article, Dan.  Thanks for sharing.
