$\"\"$ In 2008 a study was published in the British Medical Journal that shows a\u00a0clear connection between hyperactivity in children and chemical additives in foods<\/a>. Removing junk food from a child\u2019s diet is a simple treatment that has no side-effects and plenty of positive effects compared with drugs which have\u00a0 horrendous side-effects<\/a> such as nervousness, insomnia, anorexia; nausea; dizziness; palpitations; headache, cardiac arrhythmia; abdominal pain\u00a0etc., etc.<\/p>\n

A study by the Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital\u00a0found\u00a0that after five years hyperactive children who received drugs (either Ritalin or Chloropromazine) did not differ significantly from children who had not received\u00a0them.<\/p>\n

Although it appeared that hyperactive kids treated with Ritalin were initially more manageable, the degree of improvement and emotional adjustment was essentially identical at the end of five years to that seen in a group of kids who had received no medication at all.<\/p>\n

Of course the big difference between the kids who took no drugs and those that took the drugs was that pharmaceutical companies made no profit from the kids who took no drugs.\u00a0 And the non-drug kids didn\u2019t get any of the horrible side-effects.<\/p>\n

So why are these drugs used at all if the end result is the same as if the kids took nothing?\u00a0 As the legal profession says \u201ccui bono?\u201d\u00a0 (who benefits?)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
