After 27 years since I developed the site for Dr. Kelley – I have come to the conclusion that it is time to shut it down.

It is interesting that I received a recent request and offer to publish a contribution from a writer, but at the time I received his offer – I was going through some records – and I chose to share some of the records with him – and I believe that you – the reader you will better understand why I have made this decision.

The following is a moderation of that which I sent out to the author several weeks ago:

I am no longer able to furnish Dr. Kelley’s books, nor continue on with the marvelous and important web-site..

It is a long story, but a dirty one – as a woman who was taught by Kelley has spent 27 years lining her own pockets and using Kelley’s name for her own purposes – and toward the end of his life – Kelley realized what a lying, greedy piece of garbage that she was (and I am being polite here).

She has gone out of her way to destroy all that I have done with the Kelley site since it’s inception in 1999, and she has gone out of her way to destroy the entirety of the Kelley family business – which up until 3 years ago – was the ONLY LEGAL supplier of the Kelley Enzymes.

I could greatly expand on her story and what it has cost those of us who were committed to Kelley’s great work – but frankly – it would be a waste of my time to continue.

As for my situation regarding the books – it has just become an economic issue as relates to the cost of the books. About 2 years ago – all of a sudden – orders for the books just began to sink and they have never recovered.

The sad part of all of this is – is that I am in the process of shutting down the Kelley site – something that truly makes me sad.

For those of you who have been long time readers of this site, We thank you with all sincerity. You will note that most of what has been posted here for all of these years – it has now been removed, with one section still remaining as I continue to work with it, to move a moderate percentage of it to FederalObserver.com, which will deal with ONE specific category – which has been poisoning our children since the early 1960’s – Bennett: But it’s all OK – Just Take a Little Pill….

Protect your children and grandchildren – and be blessed my friends.

The following column is – in my opinion – further Bulls**t in the ongoing deceit of ADHD. This website has many, many columns which will counter what you are about to read. My own personal knowledge goes back to 1963 and can be followed at my column: Bennett: But it’s all OK – Just Take a little Pill – Editor

A recent study has identified a potential brain-based explanation for the connection between future-oriented thinking and the characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. The research suggests that the strength of communication between specific brain networks is linked to a person’s ability to plan for the future, which in turn is associated with the severity of inattention and hyperactivity. The findings were published in Progress in Neuropsychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning and development. While often diagnosed in childhood, its effects can extend into adulthood, presenting ongoing challenges. Researchers now often view ADHD not as a simple category but as a spectrum, where individuals in the general population can exhibit varying levels of its associated traits without meeting full diagnostic criteria.

A ‘few-foods,’ diet appears to be a promising therapeutic approach for those with ADHD and could cut down on preschool medication use.

In the most unexpected way, Jenny Dunlap stumbled upon a solution for her oldest son’s attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

When her youngest child was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, Dunlap’s whole family stopped eating sugar and grains. By eliminating these foods, her older son, John – whose behavioral and social struggles hadn’t been resolved with various therapies or medication – was suddenly like a different person.

While the risk is small, spotting symptoms early can make a big difference in outcomes.

A recent study of nearly 400,000 patients found that people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who take stimulants face a small but notable risk of developing psychosis or bipolar disorder. About 3 percent of patients developed one of these conditions after starting medication. Continue reading →

The 22 million Americans with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder could be more likely to develop early-onset dementia, a preliminary study suggests.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh analyzed health records from people diagnosed with ADHD as children in the 1980s and 90s.

These patients were then followed into adulthood and are now in their 40s.

They found adults living with ADHD scored worse on cognitive tests looking at executive function, complex tasks, word recall and working memory. Continue reading →

We’ve gone way too far with stimulants and our kids!

The extremism around the question of how to treat gender dysphoria has begun to erode under the pressure of science and common sense. Is it possible that the same will happen regarding ADHD?

A long New York Times Magazine piece skeptical of the ADHD consensus, by Paul Tough, published about a week ago, could be an inflection point in the debate and, one hopes, lead to a fundamental reconsideration of how we think about this overdiagnosed, overprescribed, highly ambiguous disorder.

For a couple of decades now, we’ve made fidgeting in the classroom and other typical childhood behavior, especially among boys, a medical condition that should be treated with amphetamines. Continue reading →

What if everything you thought you knew about anxiety – or ADHD – was missing the bigger picture? In a powerful episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast , Mel sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Tracy Marks to unpack the deep, often misunderstood connection between these two conditions. What she shared can shift not just how you understand your own mental health, but how you support the people you love. Continue reading →

Experts discuss comprehensive treatment approaches including both medication and behavioral interventions.

Rates of ADHD medication use, particularly stimulants, have been rising in the United States, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, with prescriptions for both stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medications surging.

The rising frequency of ADHD medication prescription has prompted a renewed focus on their safety profiles. Recent research shows that all common treatments result in slight increases in blood pressure and heart rate. However, experts caution that these effects should be considered alongside the significant benefits these medications provide. Continue reading →

Individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be at twice the risk of sustaining traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). The systemic review was published in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences.

Therefore, clinicians should be trained to raise awareness and implement preventive strategies to reduce the risk of TDIs in individuals with ADHD, the author wrote. Continue reading →

Many popular ADHD drugs activate the sympathetic nervous system. However, their downstream effects can inadvertently contribute to elevated eye pressure.

Common drugs prescribed to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are associated with an increased risk of glaucoma, a recent Canadian study found.

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that causes vision loss. Angle-closure glaucoma is a subtype that contraindicates with popular ADHD drugs. Continue reading →

‘Yes, I’m messy, my mind is busy and I get flustered when I do admin. But to me it doesn’t matter — what matters is what I do about it.’

Prince Harry is the latest addition to the wave of celebrities who’ve been diagnosed with either ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

In fact, he was diagnosed in a highly public way, during a live-streamed conversation, by controversial self-help guru Dr Gabor Maté.

‘Reading the book, I diagnose you with ADD,‘ Maté said, referring to the Duke of Sussex’s autobiography, Spare. ‘I see it as a normal response to normal stress, not a disease.’ Continue reading →

FDA committee votes to approve opioid tablet 1,000 times stronger than morphine – but even the group’s own chair warns ‘it will cause death’

Show me de monee!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is poised to approve a new opioid that is up to 1,000 times more powerful than morphine.

Though its advisory panel has given the agency the green light, many doctors are outraged and one group has published a letter – penned by the advisory committee’s own chairman, who did not take part in the vote – urging the FDA to stop the approval process short. Continue reading →

Prescriptions for opioid painkillers have been falling in recent years. At the same time, prescriptions for medications to treat opioid addiction are rising sharply. Credit Patrick Sison/Associated Press

The number of new monthly prescriptions for medications that treat opioid addiction nearly doubled over the past two years, according to new data, while prescriptions for opioid painkillers continued to decline.

The changing calculus reflects a stepping up of efforts among policymakers and the medical establishment to address the nation’s opioid epidemic, which is killing more than 115 people every day. But it also underscores questions about whether some pain patients are now being undertreated, and whether tightened prescribing over the last few years has contributed to the surge in overdose deaths from heroin and especially fentanyl.

Some children are better at paying attention than others. Some can cope with, or even enjoy, a school classroom setting. Some kids have more energy than others. Some are good at following directions, and some are easily distracted.

But just because a classroom is not a good environment for many children does not mean they have a disorder. They may have an Attention Deficit because they are bored. They may he Hyperactive because they are cooped up and forced to sit still at a desk. But this does not constitute a Disorder. Continue reading →

ADD and ADHD are both constantly touted by parents and teachers as the reasoning behind why children are unable to focus. And often times, the “cure” seems to be a slew of pharmaceutical medications that numb the children to their surroundings.

Rarely is the cure ever to cut down on sugar or to consider that a child’s brain and focus simply isn’t fully developed. And never has the cure been enacting a program that extends the amount of time kids have recess. Continue reading →
