If a child has one or more of the following attention/behavior problems, they will more than likely be diagnosed as having the psychiatric made-up "behavior disorder" term "ADHD"(Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) and prescribed a mind-altering drug, like Ritalin or similar:

'Poor sustained attention' 'Lack of persistence on task' 'Impulsivity' 'Difficulty regulating behavior in social settings' 'Active and restless' 'Difficulty adhering to rules and regulations'

These type conditions have been in existence since the beginning of human existence!

My lay opinion, from research carried out, is that any of the above or similar problems, are down to the child having one or more of the following: spiritual upset, learning problem, nutritional deficiency, body problem.

With the back-up of many Drs., fellow professionals, other advocate groups and individuals, it is common sense to me that children with one or more of the conditions, (mentioned above), or similar, diagnosed with "ADHD", do not need mind-altering psychiatric drugs as treatment! These drugs, "in the name of help", actually can and do create extensive harm and/or irreparable damage to our children! Please view http://www.adhdtruth.com/index.html and http://www.adhdtruth.com/testimonials.html web pages for many of the valid reasons, emphatically stated by Professionals in the field of medicine and other fields, against using mind-altering drugs (like Ritalin® and similar, prescribed for "ADHD")!

A least intrusive as possible, holistic/medical/nutritional, type approach is a very workable humane form of treatment for the child with attention, behavior and learning problems, without of course, the use of mind-altering drugs. Please view details of a book ‘No More ADHD’ by Dr. Mary Ann Block: http://www.adhdtruth.com - giving 10 Steps to help improve your child’s attention and behavior without drugs. Also, please view the ‘Sources of Help’ page - http://www.adhdtruth.com/testimonials.html - which lists many resources in various countries that give effective help, (without the use of mind-altering drugs), to our children with attention, behavior and learning problems.

Before any parent allows prescribing of psychiatric mind-altering drugs to their child, I earnestly request they carry out all necessary research to arrive at a sound judgement. You could visit http://www.adhdtruth.com for one, including viewing the ‘Sources of Help’ page mentioned above, which also lists many books on the subject.

If you have, or know of a child, already taking one of these mind-altering drugs, I respectfully ask that you contact a very good source that offers alternative, very workable and safe treatment solutions.

All the very best,

Ray
