Drugs

Everyone is against drug use, right? To hear that a kid is "on drugs" makes everyone sad.

Well, one would think.

What about the speed-like substance that 5 million kids take every morning before school? Drugs like Ritalin and others that "control" kids with ADD/ADHD. I am really REALLY upset about this whole thing. I have always had a personal opinion about the whole thing but only recently did I start to research it....I figured I should have something to back up my opinions. After having a friend whose son is "ADHD" and other friends mention it I decided I should probably see what the fuss is about.

What I found was this:
Me, my husband and all my kids have ADD/ADHD.
Everyone I know has ADD/ADHD.

If you take the tests online....look at all the symptoms...read about making a diagnosis....we ALL HAVE IT. Every person to some extent has some trait of this "disease". So if we all have have symptoms and we all fall into the criteria to diagnose us with ADD/ADHD....then we should ALL be on meds, right? I mean, if we are to function as "normal" people in society and we are to fit into the "box" that has been established for us then we need help doing so...correct?

So what in the heckfire is going on here????????????

Do millions of kids and millions of adults really have it? Do millions of Americans really need to be on mind/mood/action altering drugs their entire lives? If they do NOT, then what is going on? (have I said that yet?) Could it be that someone is trying to control the minds of millions and millions of us with these drugs? Is someone is trying to control the thoughts and actions of us by telling us we NEED these drugs...our kids NEED to be on these drugs for life (they have no other long term solution than drugs...forever)? Or is it that we as Americans have such a low view of kids and family that anything that bothers us and keeps us from doing what we want much be controlled...no matter what? If the kid is being loud, talking out of turn and cannot sit still in his desk (for hours and hours and hours on end) than he is bothering the rest of us and we need to control him. Where is the speed? Oh wait, that is illegal. How about some legal speed? Amphetamines sound great...here hon, take this. You will feel better.

Well, now I am mad. And I have really only began the research into this whole issue. I know families and have read about programs that have cured kids with "ADD/ADHD" by simple things like changing their diet, having more one on one time with the parents, (duh) and by eliminating vaccines (another reason to research what you shoot into your children). Many kids have sensitive systems and are allergic to foods that moms and dads do not know about...and this can cause erratic behavior and "symptoms" of ADD/ADHD. When these foods are taken from their diet then the child is a different person. So why not try this? What are we turning to major drugs instead of diet changes and time with the family? Because mom has to go to work and dad has to go to work and the kids cannot take more than a certain allotted time from them.

Oh....can I go on all day?! Nope...I gotta go eat some lunch and play with my Presley.

Watch the video below (It is WAY long so I watched it over several days in 5 minutes increments) and read what people are saying....the video has both opinions on the subject so you can see what the popular opinion is and what the "system buckers" say as well.

In conclusion...we have a drug for everything. Childbirth is annoying, so let's drug that. The baby is crying so let's give him Tylenol to make him sleep. I feel sick so let's drug my body. My kid is active so let's drug him. My life is not what I want so let's take a drug so I will not care. I do not want to eat healthy so my body is falling apart...oh wait! I can take a drug for that!

So why am I surprised??????
