When did we decide that drugging
our children was a responsible act? My parents
used to
say, “Play outside until we call you in for dinner”. End
of story! No drugs, just
exercise and a vivid imagination to
stimulate creativity and not boredom. Children today
may be
getting too many scheduled choices and not enough time to create
their own
fun. If you happen to be a feisty child, the system
wants to make you “tow the line” and
be like all the others. So
now we have specific drugs to quiet their imagination and keep
them dazed and behaved. We used to call these kids spirited. Hmmmm, and of course
any good parent wants to listen to their
medical doctors advice and do the right thing.
Too many
decisions for the busy family of four to worry about.
Especially when a high
percentage of mom’s and dad’s are taking
their own anti-depressants. Are we starting
to see a pattern
develop here? We are starting to see patterns develop and they
are
unhealthy ones created by “Big Pharmaceuticals”. On Friday,
June 1, researchers made
a bold statement by claiming a
potential link between Ritalin and cancer. Their concerns
about
the drug surfaced during an FDA Pediatrics Advisory Committee
meeting. The
findings from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at
the University of Texas showed Ritalin
causing damage to the
Chromosomes of twelve children who had taken this drug for
only
three months. The FDA’s decision was to take a closer look at
the side effects of
this medication.
What’s wrong with this picture? Where do
we draw the line between acceptable
medical behavior and
Corporate Greed? These are our children and future we’re
talking
about! Do I need to explain what a world of adult
zombies will look like to their children? We are all educated
and intelligent individuals. Please don’t let complacency and
ignorance be the choice makers for you and your family. You can
fight this corporate
behavior with extra love, quite family time
and a commitment to your children’s future.
You have a choice! Some of the effective
options are:
1)
Allergy food testing
2)
Brain Wave Analysis and correction of ADD symptoms
3)
Dietary changes (lose the sugar)
4)
Family Counseling
The changes that occur in the children who
go through these programs at our clinic
are phenomenal. Safe,
natural, effective alternatives with no harmful side effects.
This
is the very least we must offer to our children.
