RitalinDeath.com website says kids can die from taking Ritalin

• Info for Parents of Children who are being Pressured to Diagnose and Drug their child for ADHD, Story behind our Sons Death Caused from ADHD Drug, Ritalin.
• I am going to break this down into three parts, 1st the history and purpose of this website, 2nd death from Ritalin and 3rd the truth behind ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
• April 15, 2001 I created this website in hopes of providing parents and guardians with information about the truth behind ADHD and the drugs used to treat children diagnosed with ADHD.
• The cause was determined to be from the long-term (age 7-14) use of Methylphenidate, a medication commonly known as Ritalin.
• The medical examiner said this type of heart damage is not easy to detect with the standard test necessary for prescription refills.
• The standard test performed consists of blood work, listening to the heart, questions about school behaviors, sleeping and eating habits.
• Matthew supposedly needed this drug Ritalin because of a subjective diagnosis called ADHD until it silenced him forever on March 21, 2000, even sadder I have learned that thousands of children have died as a direct result of using psychotropic medications over the years.
• And I give Peter R. Breggin, M.D. and his wife Ginger all the credit for teaching me about the dangers of giving psychotropic drugs to children.
• Until recently, no studies have systematically examined the rate of psychotic symptoms caused by routine treatment with stimulant drugs such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamine (Dexedrine, Adderall).
• Doctors who prescribe stimulant drugs often seem oblivious to the fact that they can cause psychoses, including manic-like and schizophrenic-like disorders.
• Recently on television I debated a well-known expert in child psychiatry who took the position that prescribed stimulants "never" cause psychoses in children.
