Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 My message to the pharmaceutical companies . . . STUFF IT!!! [healthy.net] ADHD: TODDLERS ARE GIVEN POWERFUL DRUGS THAT AREN'T LICENSED OR SAFE Children as young as three are being given a powerful drug such as Ritalin to treat their ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) - even though it's not licensed for use among small children, and nobody's been checking to see how safe the drug is in this age group. Early studies suggest that around a third of small children given Ritalin or another ADHD drug have such a bad reaction that they have to stop treatment. http://healthy.net/scr/news.asp?id=9491 ____________ MORE HEALTH NEWS....
