Ritalin stunts growth of children; long-term risk to children's health unknown

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Research conducted over the last several years by psychiatrists working for the National Institutes of Health initially found evidence of the drug stunting growth of children, yet nevertheless concluded that Ritalin carries "no long-term growth risk" to children. (Those researchers, by the way, failed to disclose their financial conflicts of interest with drug companies.
REPPED: New research published in the August, 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry finds that Ritalin, the amphetamine drug used to treat a fictitious medical disorder labeled Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, stunts the growth of children. After three years on the psychotropic drug, children are one inch shorter and 4.4 pounds lighter than their peers, researchers have documented. The psychiatric industry, of course, has been trying to play down the growth-stunting effects of Ritalin for at least a decade.
Research conducted over the last several years by psychiatrists working for the National Institutes of Health initially found evidence of the drug stunting growth of children, yet nevertheless concluded that Ritalin carries "no long-term growth risk" to children. (Those researchers, by the way, failed to disclose their financial conflicts of interest with drug companies.
To place the growth of children at risk in order to give them a drug so powerful that it would be illegal if sold to children on the street is to engage in medical madness. There is no justification for the mass-treatment of children today with this drug other than the clever exploitation of human beings for profit. The only medically proven use of Ritalin, it turns out, would be for parents who want their children to be short and stunted. Feed those kids enough Ritalin amphetamines, and they won't grow up to be as tall or have as much muscle mass as their peers.
Because of that conclusion, psychiatrists have refrained from warning parents about the fact that Ritalin stunts the growth of their children, focusing instead of how their children need "treatment" to correct a "brain chemistry disorder" that was, in reality, invented by the Big Pharma-backed psychiatric industry as a way to sell more drugs to children who don't need them. Turning schoolchildren into street junkies Ritalin is an amphetamine. In street lingo, it's called "speed." Selling speed to children is a felony, but feeding speed to children with a prescription is called "treatment.
And thus, treatment with Ritalin was the only way to return children to "normal" growth. This kind of twisted, circular logic typifies modern psychiatric medicine, which spontaneously invokes the existence of numerous psychiatric "disorders" at the exact coincidental moment that profitable pharmaceuticals become available to treat them. The logic of psychiatry goes like this: ADHD is a real disease because it's in the DSIM-IV manual (the bible of fictitious psychiatric disorders).

According to rBST manufacturers, injections of this hormone cause a cow to produce up to 20 percent more milk. The growth hormone also stimulates the cow's liver to increase insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Excess levels of IGF-1 have been increasingly linked by modern research to human cancer development and growth. Recently, the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, a manufacturer of rBST, reported a tenfold increase in IGF-1 levels in the milk of cows that had been injected with the hormone. IGF-1 is the same in humans and cows and is not destroyed by pasteurization.

Chlorella: Japanese studies have found Chlorella growth Factor (CGF) to be especially effective in speeding up cell growth, a major factor in the natural repair of wounds. Various other studies reveal CGF helps heal ulcers and promote bone and muscle growth. When taken internally, it also acts as an immune-booster. Topically, it functions as a protective cleansing compound for skin. Chlorella is found in numerous superfood products, including Rejuvenate! from Health Products Distributors, Inc. at http://www.IntegratedHealth.

But as individuals become overweight at younger ages, they are more likely to develop diabetes earlier in life. The growth of Generation XXL Researchers and news reports frequently describe the alarming growth of overweight, obesity, and diabetes in children. When we were kids in the 1950s and 1960s, overweight children were uncommon. Today, overweight children are quickly becoming the norm, with about one in every three American children either overweight or obese.

Chlorella growth factor -- which you may be aware of -- for years it was a liquid, and then we found a source where you could get it as a powder. In Rejuvenate!, we have chlorella, chlorella growth factor, a little spirulina, nutritional yeast, and D-ribose, which is the monosaccharide sugar backbone for RNA and DNA. If you give the body those precursors, it will have an adequate supply of nucleic acids. For example, even while you are actively trying to rebuild RNA in your body through dietary nucleic acid intake, D-ribose enables you to make significantly more RNA.

That is quite an amazing story. The growth factor is a major factor. People are coming to understand this now. When you talked a little bit about homeopathic factors, there may be things we do not quite understand yet about all of this. We use the term "growth factor" but we are not sure exactly how that is working and what it means. One of the most interesting findings in research with autistic children is the role of mercury. Many experts clearly feel that mercury is a major problem in autism. You cannot get the mercury out with anything that is known.

Hysterectomies were performed for a variety of reasons: to get rid of fibroid tumors, a noncancerous type of growth on the uterus that can cause bleeding and cramps; to reduce premenstrual symptoms; to cure the pain from another abnormal growth called endometriosis; and sometimes as an expensive form of birth control. Even young women in their late teens and early twenties were being given hysterectomies, which left them unable to have children.

Insulin also encourages the proliferation of cells, a process needed for normal growth and healing but also for the growth of cancers. High insulin levels are strongly associated with many different types of cancer, including cancers of the breast, the prostate, and the colon. In a nutshell, excess insulin increases a person's odds of dying at any age, whether from diabetes, heart disease, or cancer. Heart and Circulatory Problems, Blood Sugar, and Insulin People with diabetes are four times more likely to have heart attacks than are people who don't have diabetes.

Because of all the growth factors in it, you can put it on a wound and it will just heal so fast you cannot believe it. I am a big one for using herbal poultices for spider bites and anything that gets into your skin. You have to get it out. We use charcoal and bentonite clay and slippery elm bark, and recently we have added chlorella into that poultice basic formula. Of course the chlorella with the cell wall is going to pull heavy metals and toxins out. With those growth factors that are in there, you are going to stimulate the regeneration and healing in the local area.
The therapies are aimed at knocking out the viruses, and maybe using these growth factors to make the cellular functioning better, maybe changing the cell potential, because cell potentials -- when they start coming down -- make the cell not able to function at the level it is supposed to. You are not getting things in and out right. You are not getting the Kreb's cycle right. Who knows, maybe the receptors are not even taking in T3 (thyroid hormone) and stimulating the growth of the cell?

People whose bodies produce a low level of growth hormone (GH) may experience low energy, poor cognition, and an impaired ability to exercise. Researchers studied what it would be like to administer additional growth hormone to FM patients whose bodies secreted only a low level of GH. The hormone did help reduce FM symptoms but with some problems: it was expensive, it had to be given by injection several times a week, it took six months to produce a noticeable effect, and—most important—the improvements simply weren't dramatic. FM patients still had FM.

Mice that run in cages experience a growth of brain cells, and mice that run in cages together with other mice experience even greater growth of brain cells.34 It is reasonable to assume that the more intensive and enriched educational experience enhanced the intricacy and increased the number of synaptic connections in the brains of the children. If mental illnesses are diseases partially of synaptic plasticity, the enhanced learning may have been a protective factor as well. Diet, exercise, and learning acted as prophylactics against the development of mental illness.

It came to be even better business with the appearance of new drugs called growth factors, which made transplants a little less risky and shortened a woman's stay in the isolation ward. growth factors stimulated the proliferation of bone marrow cells in a woman's body, making it possible to harvest marrow cells from the blood, rather than having to extract them from her bone. The new drugs also helped marrow cells regenerate once they were returned to the woman's body after her chemotherapy. Eventually, it was possible to administer high-dose chemo and a transplant on an outpatient basis.

Vitamin D deficiency greatly reduces the body's ability to halt the growth of cancer tumors. That's why higher amounts of vitamin D circulating through the blood have been shown again and again to dramatically reduce the growth of cancer tumors, keeping them in check and preventing a breast cancer diagnosis. Over 75 percent of all breast and prostate cancers could be avoided through vitamin D therapy alone. Amazingly, the American Cancer Society appears to have no interest in vitamin D.

The typical beer belly and breast growth of a beer drinker is caused by these female hormones and has nothing to do with beer calories. Besides the already mentioned mind-altering chemicals in beer, the malt in beer also has a substance in it that influences the psyche; it is called hordenin. Hordenin results from the germination of barley and is related to the well-known stimulants ephedrine and mescaline. It also has a strong diuretic effect, which causes frequent urination, especially during the night.
It is most likely that the following food items will make your arm muscle weak and further the growth of Candida: sugar, yeast or yeast-containing foods such as bread, cakes, biscuits; chocolate and other sweets; tomato ketchup, fruit (except banana), alcohol, Marmite, mushrooms, hard and blue cheeses; fermented products such as vinegar and fermented vegetables; coffee, tea, soft drinks, sports drinks; cigarettes or any other stimulant. You may also need to stop any hormone replacements, including the contraceptive pill and HRT, if applicable.
