Let's All Take Ritalin


Now, at long last, some doctors are recommending that children be examined for potential heart problems, before they are prescribed Ritalin.

The over-prescription of this poison for (mostly boy) children constitutes abuse.

Like so many medicines, this massive over-use of a pharmaceutical for a questionable "disease" (ADHD) is entirely the result of extremely subtle and pervasive marketing campaigns.

Someday, we will learn to look back on these dark days with suitable horror.

Many children are simply normal kids that are spirited, may need more time outdoors, running around and sometimes it's not medication that's needed, but learning to obey, learning manners, some discipline.
