Study Shows Massive Rise In ADHD Drug Abuse Among Teens




I have one question; What is the incidence, or frequency of diagnosis of ADD or ADHD in the countries with longer life expectancies than ours? There are 42 other countries that supposedly have better health care than we do in America. How do they treat the issue of hyperactivity in their children?

We all know that in America pharma companies main goal is to sell more product, bottom line. Is it the same for the rest of the world?

Not only is Pharma at work here, the FDA approves all the additives in food, so why then do they allow the use of dyes that FOR A FACT cause hyper-active responses in some children? Then we slowly take away all the programs in school that actually deal with the students energy, in the name of academics. It is a multi pronged attack aimed at getting Americans hooked into the consumption lifestyle as early as possible.

Americans it is simpler and wiser to try to identify and remove the cause of a problem than it is to introduce another factor into the equation in the effort to do the same.

It all boils down to convenience and our lazy habit of falling for the lure of instant gratification; do what is better, smarter, healthier, cheaper, but takes a bit of effort. Or despite being unhealthy, misdirected, more expensive and generally less successful, we would rather do what is easiest NOW.
