Hee hee Imac - either you know me WAY too well or I'm just too gosh darn predictable. Maybe both.
Cindy - don't back down from your original opinion. You claim that kids are being drugged into submission in classrooms. Your lack of knowledge of what the meds do and how they help a child in a class situation is alarming.
There was ADHD in the 1950s. It has been a classified disorder not long after that and as far back as the turn of the century it was known as hyperkinetisism. Methylphenidate has been used SAFELY on children and narcoleptics for a very very long time. The only danger is when an undiagnosed underlying illness such as high blood pressure or heart defect is not known about.
ADHD is not caused by allergies any more than autism is caused by mercury. Read some up-to-date information from scholarly sources and get your nose out of the ritalin kills websites.
Plain water can kill if too much is given. Hyperhydrosis is actually a game some kids play by drinking too much and their body goes into shock. It can actually rupture cells and cause very quick death. Shall we ban water because some idiots abuse it?!?
Because someone mistakenly gave you either the wrong med or too much you seem very driven to hurt us. Why? Why not go after the doc who hurt you instead?
Even better - go away. Now.
Awe Glen, your so mean! She wants to hang around so she can use all 11,000 members of this forum for her next book. The problem with that is that she will have to recant everything she wrote in the first book. *IMac38943.3636111111
