It is important re-to educate our teachers and child psychologists, since unfortunately they have been the target of one of the most vicious and criminal 'marketing' campaigns ever made: that of an invented disease, ' Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD' , the swindle of the century.
The terrible drug consumption among the very young populations in the western world, unfortunately, is originated -to a great extent- in the school, experimenting with the pediatric cocaine prescribed to the hyperactive classmate, or receiving the label of hyperactive, through an evaluation by the educator or psychologist.
It is not that rare diseases -of neurological nature- with genetic origin do not exist, which at some moment in time can manifest such as the one described for ADHD; nevertheless, to try to categorize an exception as a general rule is a criminal act, a violation of the most fundamental child' and youths' rights.
Unfortunately 99.99 % of the children labeled and maligned with this terrible mental 'disease' are exempt of the minimum neurological symptomatology, but even so they are condemned to the bonfire of infantile drugs, via a subjective psychiatric questionnaire. This macabre arbitrary mechanism of modern inquisition that condemns to a hell the children of the world, will be detailed in my next writings on this subject.
The lobby by the industry -for the use of psychotropics- as the solutions for childhood problems must be faced with determination, because character issues can only be solved by means of aid, guide and spiritual or mental support. These tools are much better than by means such as chemical drugs which induce an abnormal and violent conduct in our infantile population.
The reason, for which these drugs have found resonance among psychologists and educators of the world, is because they promise to solve lack of attention, rebellion, protest and restlessness of these youngsters considered difficult to control, by educators or parents. What could be 'better' for a desperate or irresponsible father or educator, than to have a medical license to 'control' a boy who nobody knows how to handle, with a magical pill? What could 'surpass' thing could `an hypnotic somniferous, in a newborn that has not allowed his parents to close their eyes and sleep during the last two months?
The reason why methylphenidate -and its various commercial formats- have been successful, is because it promises a solution to a problem that nobody knows how to handle and which is been tried to solve by altering the youth's biochemical brain routes; nevertheless, the administration of drugs in children who have been subjectively attributed the ADHD label is absolutely criminal.
These 'solutions' to a great extent have obtained a following, due to a lack of knowledge in some parents and educators, but also due to taking the easy route and irresponsibility by others. Those who prefer the comfortable solutions, instead of facing the truth with responsibility and resolution, handling the spiritual and mental atmosphere in which their children develop, that is to say, in the school, and battlefield which some call home. In the next articles I will describe the true causes of 'hyperactivity' and how to solve them, without drugs. To be continued...
