When it Comes to Pharmacy News, Follow the Money


The headlines fairly shrieks "Bipolar Illness Soars as a Diagnosis for the Young."


What does this NY Times story, in fact, reveal?


That more kids are "bipolar?"


That more kids are being better diagnosed?


No, of course not.


It reveals, as it often doesm that more parents, doctors and psychiatrists are falling for the ad campaigns of BIG PHARMA.


This is a detestable, legal drug push.


And it goes on every day in every country in every doctor's office.


The Sun reports with a straight face that "Ritalin Eyed as a Weight-Loss Medication."


With enormous billion dollar profits from selling Ritalin to the parents of kids - mostly boys - who would rather believe that their brats are Attention Deficit Disordered instead of out-of-control brat-monsters, the drug companies are now planting the seed that all the dieting people of the world can take their magic bullet and slim down.


There's one born every minute.

Behavioral Science Teacher Education Project - from 1967. Readers learned that "chemical experimentation" on minors would be normal procedure in this post-1967 world, a pointed foreshadowing of the massive Ritalin interventions which now accompany the practice of forced schooling.

Just more of the same from the masters of the universe.
