The death ceremony began as a crude ritual, back in the days of witchcraft. In recent years it has been developed into a science. It usually takes from 10 to 15 years to come full circle, however modern scientific advancements are shortening this period of time.

It all begins with a single simple aspirin for a simple headache. When the one aspirin will no longer cover up the headache, take two. After a few months, when two aspirin will no longer cover the headache – you take one of the stronger compounds. By this time it becomes necessary to take something for the ulcers that have been caused by the aspirin. Now that you are taking two medicines, you have a good start. After a few months these medications will disrupt your liver function. If a good infection develops, you can take some penicillin. Of course the penicillin will damage your red blood corpuscles and spleen so that you develop anemia. Continue reading →

My name is Bruce Wiseman. I am the US President of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a group which for 30 years has been investigating and exposing psychiatric violations of human rights and cleaning up the field of mental health.

I am also a former educator having been the Chairman of the Department of History of John F. Kennedy University.

I want to thank you for the opportunity to address you today. But more importantly, I want to acknowledge you for having the courage to confront what has truly become one of the most dangerous and insidious situations facing American life – the fraudulent labeling and drugging of millions of our nation’s youth with psychiatric mind altering drugs – a circumstance that has caused a corresponding increase in acts of senseless violence in our schools.

…and you ain’t gettin’ no healthier!

For some time I have been considering some comments about ADD/ADHD, or at least some questions that might be asked. Among them are:

1. It has been reported there is no clinical description ADD/ADHD which, if so, indicates that it is whatever someone says it is. Should not an alleged medical condition that requires treatment with a drug at least be properly identified?

2. It is estimated that 2 million or more public school students in the nation are now treated with the drug Ritalin for this supposed condition. If it is this common, and serious, why is it that students in the past were not so identified and treated; why are students in nonpublic schools not similarly afflicted (on a ratio basis, at least 200,000 of them should be so regarded); and why are not youngsters in other nations similarly afflicted?

3. Do we know what the long-term affects of Ritalin are on still developing children? Continue reading →

In the bathroom of a suburban elementary school outside Peterborough, Ontario, a 13- year-old boy offers to sell a quick high to some 10 and 12-year olds. His drug of choice: Ritalin, the prescription drug widely used to treat hyperactivity in children.

In a small town outside Athens, Ga., 282 Ritalin pills suddenly disappear from a medical cart kept in a locked closet of the middle school.

Outside Chicago, two teens report being regularly harassed and pressured by classmates to hand over their daily dose of the drug. They’ve now changed schools. Continue reading →

Got kids? Who’s minding them? Your doctor? It’s time to wake up America! People are dying for lack of knowledge! We have given up all self-responsibility in this nation. It’s time we take it back. For over five years, Kettle Moraine Productions and its radio program, Perspectives on AmericA have endeavored to “wake up America” by reporting on and bringing truth to the public. Truth doesn’t hurt – lack of it does. (Ed.)

Why is America suddenly experiencing an explosion of new mental diseases and disorders never heard of thirty years ago? Why are children seemingly out of control, refusing to listen to parents and teachers – even driven to violence? I submit that psychologists have developed the habit of simply making up diseases and disorders if there is money to be made. Many of these so called diseases, such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) could in fact be side effects of the drugs, which are being poured into our children to ‘cure’ them.

ALBANY – An educational neglect case in Albany involving a 7-year-old boy whose parents were hauled into court after taking him off Ritalin has sparked a national debate over privacy rights, judicial authority and parental sovereignty.

The Kyle Carroll case is apparently the first in the nation in which parents were pressured – if not outright ordered – by a judge to give their child the controversial stimulant after the school district petitioned the court.

Albany County Family Court Judge Gerard E. Maney has become something of a lightning rod for criticism in a widely reported matter illustrating some of the legal complexities that arise when schools and courts are confronted with a child covered under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. 1400.

WARNING! Taking drugs prescribed by your physician – without proper explanation – could be hazardous to your health!

What have we come to when parents need court approval to prevent their children from being drugged? The exercising of Parens Patriae is practiced more and more every day. Just say NO to Ritalin! (Ed.)

NEW YORK – One day last year, a social worker came knocking on the door of Michael Carroll’s home in West Berne, N.Y.

The trouble: The father of four had been reported to Child Protective Services for putting his seven-year-old son, Kyle, at risk. Stunned, Mr. Carroll asked what he’d done. Continue reading →

It’s about time that someone else in the world began to tell this story besides us. ~ Ed

THE legitimacy of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder as a medical condition is questioned in a new report.

The report, commissioned by the Youth Affairs Network of Queensland, has called for a moratorium on and inquiry into the use of the amphetamine-based drugs Ritalin and Dexamphetamine to treat ADHD – diagnosed in thousands of Australian children. Continue reading →
