Fwd: drugging healthy children

[Guest guest]

A message forwarded by a friend here in Italy - drugging children

 

Kind regards

Sepp

 

 

 

If it seems as if kids have been under attack lately...they

have! In late September, two separate FDA advisory committees gave

the okay to administer a powerful stimulant - dextroamphetamine - to

healthy children as young as nine as part of a study on ADHD. They,

along with children already diagnosed with ADHD, would be given this

drug and their brains would be monitored by MRI.

 

 

When I read that the Pediatric Advisory Committee had agreed to use

healthy kids as guinea pigs, it made me wonder if these people had

any ethical values left. Their reasoning is that the advancement of

science far outweighs the risks posed by drugging healthy children.

Hogwash!

 

 

What's even more unbelievable is that this decision was made despite

a March 2004 decision by the National Institutes of Health Internal

Review Board. They found that " the administration of

dextroamphetamine posed more than minimal risks to healthy children. "

 

 

Drugs are not the answer to ADD and ADHD, and drugging healthy

children is just wrong.

 

 

You can help me fight the FDA on this one. The final decision on

whether to turn our kids into guinea pigs lies in the hands of Tommy

Thompson, the head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Allowing this to happen would set a dangerous precedent. I urge you

to e-mail Tommy Thompson

and encourage him to " Just Say No " for the sake of our children and

grandchildren.

Hello all, Im new to this group and i just thought i'd put my " 2

cents " in on this subject of drugging kids with add/adhd. i beleive

it to be (from personal ecperience) to be somewhat hereditary. My

mother was diagnosed with it (adhd) and doctors had her on

Phenabarbatal (not sure if that spelling is correct) until she was

16. When i was diagnosed she refused to let them drug me, although

it was a long dificult road through school i survived without being

medicated. Then i had children of my own, a daughter and 2 son's.

when my oldest (rose) was diagnosed i as well would not let them

drug my daughter to suit the school's lack of education on the

subject and did alot of research on my own. what i came up with was

a vitamin E type therapy. my daughter is in high school now, and

over the years she has learned when to identify when she need's help

copeing with the effects of the adhd and simply takes a vitamin E

wether it be at home or at school,(she went from failing grades to a

b average within 2 months of starting with the vitamin E), This has

also worked very well with my youngest son, who was also diagnosed.

His was alot more severe with the hyperactivity than my daughter's

was. But bottom line Just like my mother i refused to beleive that

dopeing up my children just couldnt be the only answer. So for those

parents with children that have the same type of issues, PLEASE look

for alternative treatments that will be more body friendly to our

children, From personal family experience i have seen the difference

between the afects of perscription drugs verses natural remedies,

and i will choose natural every time!.....Tina-Usti Waya
