New research published in the journal
Pediatrics reveals that
children who take Ritalin for ADHD have their growth stunted by the
drug. With over a million children already being dosed with this
powerful narcotic, it seems bewildering that we're only now finding out
about major side effects like this one. Clearly, if a child's growth is
stunted by the drug, it is causing an imbalance in the endocrine system,
affecting hormone regulation. I wouldn't be surprised to find out,
decades later, that our "Ritalin generation" of
children have widespread
reproductive disorders as well.
It's all a shame, since ADHD is a
fictitious disease that was invented in order to sell prescription
drugs. There is actually no such disease -- the ADHD symptoms are
primarily caused by children's diets: soft drinks, refined white flour,
loads of refined white sugar, and plenty of fried foods and processed
foods to boot. Take a child off these manufactured substances and start
feeding them real food and the "disease" of ADHD vanishes in a matter of
weeks. This has all been succinctly demonstrated through a clinical
study that found dietary changes completely eliminate the so-called
disease.
