No More ADHD

[tsunade2466]

@faraday1945 - I know that this is a REAL mental "wiring" issue. However, what is being disputed is the use of medications for adolescents - those with side effects including death. Stimulants are NOT consistently proven. They only sometimes work yet the pharmaceutical companies push these medications about as much as OxyContin, a synthetic opiate. Psychiatric meds effectiveness all depend on the individual. I'm glad you found what works for you but for another, it may not.

[AutumnKitten]

Kids and adults have all these 'mental disorders' put on them cause being out standing as a human being is not socially exceptable anymore, is a bunch of crap. I never went to a doctor when I was a kid and teenager to be diagnosed something just to put on drugs. Being human is what it means to have all these 'mental disorders'. Being human is hard and you can't put a label on any child that is learning about their emotions and the world. Parent your child like you should and they will be happy.

[tien714]

These drugs companys and doctors are con artist. I hope they burn in hell with these harmful meds shoved down their throats for the all of eternity!!!.

[BrendieRB]

Amen for this lady speaking out!!! What a blessing for the world she is!!!

[thejackpinto]

To those who believe in ADHD, AD, ACDC and whatever lable you where given... YES the down feeling excites but to believe a Drug will cure it is off the rails. I've had first hand experience with friends and not one, not one has been cure, they all were out there and

[FairNskware]

@faraday1945 Hard-wired? No!....BUT... Behavior problems? Perhaps!....We live in a society that is becoming more and more self absorbed and want quick fixes like drugs for complicated behavior issues. Instead of trying to find out **why** the child is acting out and working on solutions that may take longer and involve the whole family, they label the kid with the entire family problem. The poor kid is lead to believe he is defective. That is a sad state of affairs!

[flubblefruitstick]

ADHD is totally real, but that doesn't mean you should put kids on drugs because of it. It's a phenotype; it's just part of the genetic diversity of humanity. There are different 'types' of people. Some are more sensitive, some are more empathetic, some have lots of energy. To say you should ablate the unique attributes of these people is a fundamental type of racism, because there is a more meaningful genetic difference between genes coding for personality than those coding for skin colour.

[Sirgreaseflick]

Let's pretend we had no medicine - that we had to live with all our imbalances, our hyperactivity, our high-arching highs and our immeasurably painful lows? Would we really kill ourselves (more than the suicide rate is now), or would we ADAPT - that is, if society is progressive enough to embrace our differences? This would be idealistic, agree? The medical profession think they are progressive, and that medicine will stabilise our imbalances...yet 13 yr olds are self-harming, overdosing.Curious

[ACmetalfaceDC]

I FUCKING LOVE ADDERAL. IT IS SO BOMB, I CAN MAKE SUCCESS IN SCHOOL WHEN I SNORTS AN ADDERAL

[Phake77]

@faraday1945 I feel you, i suffer from a lakc of dopamine and norponphrine and this fat lady tells me otherwise shes nuts

[Annelies19532]

A panel of psychiatritst are VOTING wether or not ADHD is a illness because there is NO PROVE. (See DSM-5) We're talking very addictive legal drugs here. Realize what the word addictive really means. You'll never get off this brain-damaging very toxic drug. Show me one independed research (no farmaceutical Industry involved) with real prove of the existence of ADHD. ADHD is no more than another word for unwanted behavior.

[foresam]

Doctors should be checking for the APO-E3 protein when diagnosing ADD. ADD is a mild form of mercury poisoning and is easily cured by chelation to remove that mercury from the brain.

You can now stop your bogus arguments that promote two positions which are both wrong.

[HerrSpieldose]

@faraday1945 personally, I think you are just on too much Adderall and are getting online to take it out on everyone else.

[356pla]

@faraday1945 You say people are hard-wired this way. A statement like that requires proof. You can prove a positive statement that is true. Please do so or expect to be ignored or abused.

[smartskills1]

I have a friend with a 7 yr old extremely rambunctious child who has been diagnosed with ADHD and is very disruptive within the family unit. Yet, if I were to feed my young children the same level of preservative-stuffed foods and fizzy drinks, along with all the technology laden stimulation - I would expect the same. Very often, there is no evidence of positive parenting strategies, diet management or discipline from parents or carers and surely this contributes to the diagnosis of ADHD.

[CCHRInt]

@faraday1945 Sort of a weak argument actually, because the DEA criteria is what sets ADHD drugs apart as highly additive. So you've pretty much made our point. And regarding morphine, no one is injecting kids with morphine because they fidget in their seat or stare out the window, or lose pencils or toys which are exact criteria for an "ADHD" diagnoses. But they are being administered drugs that the FDA admits can cause stunted growth, dependence, heart attack stroke and death.

[mayhemnecrobutcher]

@CCHRInt You're trying to connect two unconnected dots here. You're basically saying that the negative effects of methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) somehow negates the underdevelopment of an adhd person's neocortex. I don't understand how this makes sense to you, assuming that you are relatively intelligent. Which is of coarse a generous assumption considering your position on the topic.

[CCHRInt]

@faraday1945 Yes but "characterized gene" doesn't mean anything. If you read the medical journals,

they're STILL "trying" to find an ADHD gene. The NIM, NIMH, HHS, APA all admit there is no "ADHD gene" that has been found. So characterized is another way of saying...nothing. All drugs do have side effects, but unlike other drugs, they are not being doled out to millions of children when no one can prove there is anything MEDICALLY wrong with them. There are NO medical tests for ADHD. None.

[CCHRInt]

Wow @faraday1945 Its hard to know where you begin your education

1) There is no genetic/biologic proof of ADHD. None. If you have it, provide it. Because you'd be the first person on planet earth to prove it. 2) The FDA has warned Ritalin & other ADHD drugs can cause heart attack, stunted growth, sudden death. 3) The DEA classifies Ritalin in the same class of highly addictive drugs as cocaine, morphine & opium due to its high potential for abuse.

[unouluvme516]

In every medication you're going to have side effects! I don't agree with you. I have ADD and I KNOW I have ADD. The medicine helps me in so many ways. The side effects are bad.. But most ADD/ADHD medications don't have to be taken periodically. I can take my Focalin XR one day and then not take it the next. Some kids take it only when they are taking a test in school and need a "focus-boost". It's not a label. You can SEE the difference in kids that do have it and kids that don't. You are wrong

[Ylva]

This is not right! I mean for some is the medcin helping and for some not... But forthhose how get help by the medcein and get a better life then i dont think that it dose matter if it is a drug! I mean i have got to now i have ADD now when i am 19, but before that had i done evrything i could to get better. I mean EVERYTHING! But now i have start take concerta and its helping me!

[kevin12305]

@Ylva You think its easy to concentrate? Boo fucking hoo. I was diagnosed with ADHD but its a load of garbage. I think your brain has been reprogrammed over time to say ì cant concentrate unless i have methylphenadate`. These drugs are TOXIC. You have probably been convinced you have it because everyone has told you that you have it your whole life. You must have fucked up parents.

[Dbelenit]

lol i like how they made this vid easy for add ppl to watch. lol that blinking kept me focused on vid lol

[runescapeplox123]

I have ADHD. The Damn pills i'm currently taking really doesnt feel like its doing much. The most its doing for me is causing depression and eating disorders. But I do my best to catch up on my eating. ATM my weight isnt 2 bad.

[Antipsychiatry123]

This is because I haven't identified the cause. With tiredness, we naturally honor the null hypothesis and identify the cause as lack of sleep - not an illness. With sadness and hyperness, we need to do the same thing and honor the null hypothesis. The causes could be nutritional deficiencies, lack of friends, lack of challenges, or other problems that need to be handled by actual scientists. The whole, "Illness by elimination" is bullshit, not science, and is the reason creationism =/= science.

[sftita]

My older son had ADHD so I had him participate in baseball, basketball, bowling, martial arts, track, skiing & tutored growing up.He's an engineer now. I was a strict disciplinarian not only towards my sons, but all. My kin would send their kids to me to "straighten out." The kids joke about it now recalling how terror seized them when threatened to be sent to "Auntie". They are all doing well; all loving, caring young adults. Love+Discipline+Guidance+Sport­smanship, etc-Best medicine for most.

[MsShanon1]

I have children that ARE ADD ADHD and it took many months of testing to get them diagnosed. And many more months to decide if they were gong to go on medication. DO NOT sit there and tell me and my family that there is no such thing. My husband suffers from it as does his mother. There is a family history of ADD. Sometimes it can be the result of poor nutrition but NOT in our case. We have always fed our children well and follow Canada's Food Guide.

[RLhockey203]

@MsShanon1 there is no such thing though... have fun wasting your money and making your kids into zombies

[Netkiller3714]

You're a bitch. ADHD is real. I know because I've had to struggle with it my WHOLE LIFE. btw I don't take drugs for ADHD so there are no "Side effects" I just can't focus, or pay attention, or stand still naturally. It is a desease. When a machine shows that my brains is going completely fucking crazy for no reason, that tells me something is wrong. The drugs perscribed are bs tho. But please. Don't say that something that people are born with, doesn't exsist.

[qukarlz]

will you shut up already

[consceincePride]

@CatarinaWimark You don't need toxic drug to treat a problem, these drugs never cure the symptoms, just a transient relieve of the symptoms. healthy nutrition is the key, that why children are so irritable and anxious and is simply because of severe malnutrition which lead to distracted attention.

[debibenton]

ok you need to wake up!

[angeldustxiii]

It is good see this info coming out.they tried to put my son a ridlin in kindergarden i refused.now hes 21 and hes fine. i mean kids will be fidgety , they have alot of energy.the lame scooling syste leaves them board and confused. peace xoox

[Hierophant2]

I hate shrinks.

[maciejwrotek]

Smart woman. She basically says that conditions of unknown aetiology are not diseases but symptoms. To name a condition a disease, one has to have a cause of a disease.

[jdsanchez473]

i was labled add/adhd growing up, and was put on medication for it. The medication (several different ones because none of them helped or had too bad of side effects) ended up making things worse in the end because i didn't really need it. I'm pretty sure all my troubles were just a matter of bad parenting. If you don't discipline your children they will have problems, its just a fact.

[SuperMel2012]

@jdsanchez473 you are exactly right and i know what you mean by discipline. i went through the same thing. although i know it was not my dads fault he tried his best. i still get distracted a lot but i control it and learn to focus.

[hogsonquads]

Science created drugs are a way to control the population. Look how many people die per year from these drugs and others. That dont include science/lab created disease either. its all about population control!!! Youtube population control.

[qwertylisation]

ADHD is used as an excuse these days. As soon as a kid talks to other kids in class and can't concentrate during the most boring of lectures, they have ADHD by default. "Doctors" then medicate and give the kids a solid excuse to fall back on whenever they don't want to do the assignments given to them. There wasn't much talk about ADHD when I attended school like just 10 years ago. Yet it takes me forever to do anything because I just can't focus or concentrate. But I was just lazy they said.

[dylanweaver]

The drugs are the easy way out, it does not matter whether they are prescribed or recreational...

[MomOfSixBlessings]

This is half-truths... certainly, great care should be exercised before choosing any form of medication for ADHD... but to say it doesn't exist is blatantly false. To the gentleman above who said that he knew his "real" problem was that he didn't have self-control, that may have been true for you... but by saying it, you are implying that the rest of us who DO have ADHD really just don't have self control. You could not be more wrong.

[threadysparrow]

adhd was invented by big business. everyone who has adhd is either a sleeper cell put into society to con us into believing it, or just a lazy person with no self control. i base all of this on no research at all. i base my theory on my own opinion and nothing else. and thats all that i need becauise i know the truth. i dont need science to know that im right and everyone else is crazy. FDR told me that last night in the bath tub.

[faris2k6]

@MomOfSixBlessings lmao just like the rest of them. Get drugged then come back crying for your life.

[ekorre33]

I think your advice is harmful. Most parents are good, kind, loving parents. What do you do when diet and exercise doesn't work. When you've turned over every leaf and a problem remains? It saddens a lot of us when u say adhd does'nt exist because whatever you call it, it is a debilitating problem.

[dylanweaver]

Did you try changing your behaviour? Or their environment before you tried the drugs?

[faris2k6]

That needs drugs to be used is that what youre saying?

[jezzmn]

Saddens a lot of "us"? Speak for yourself. ADHD is made up to sell drugs that have people kill themselves during intake or withdrawal.

[WTU208]

the whole psychiatry industry is a fraud....

[johnson741op]

I agree that stimulant drugs have their downsides, but saying that ADHD/ADD doesn't exist is very harmful.

Your message sounds very nice, but unfortunately it's simply not true. I wish it didn't exist, but I've lived with it my whole life and it has profoundly affected every aspect of it.

[hanseric245]

I think what she is saying is more that the symptoms that have been given the label ADHD/ADD have other, physical, underlying causes. That it's not coming from a deficiency in ritalin or some other drug. It's coming from a real, physical and scientifically diagnosable cause.

[dylanweaver]

She never said learning and attention problems don't exist. Stop being so paranoid.

[lapdogification]

@dylanweaver ummmm, yes. she clearly says it doesnt exist

[cyncmaster150]

I took strattera, I could feel it in my blood all day long It left a drug taste in my mouth and my scalp felt like it had goosebumps. It also caused erectile dysfunction.

Deep down I know my real problem, I have no discipline.

[MrSymposier]

Is very important to aware parents of the gravity of putting their children under certain drugs, specially if this can be avoided adn treated in another way. Is great to hear this information from a physician and for physicians interested in ADHD disorder, there is more information available at Symposier site.

[ekorre33]

The diabetes analogy holds. People with Adhd have lower levels of dopamine which is a naturally occuring substance in the body, stimulants like methylphenidate raise dopamine levels. It

[AIexKidd]

Just look at us. Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information and religions destroy spirituality.

[Dewdaahman]

school districts got $500 per student they could get on ridlin.. ADHD is a scam and behavorial problems begin at home..

[PonderosaKarwick]

My daughter was medicated, by a mother who didn't want to mother, a teacher who didn't want to teach and "doctor" who loved to spend the insurance company's money !!

[grantmg]

well said, great explanation for anyone

[PacifistR]

Explains the Columbine kids.... :*(

[opelske]

Biochemistry, mineral and vitamin deficiencies, diet, where you live, ie city, farm, etc. - how you live and what you eat. All effect behavior. But children are usually fidgetty and some are dreamers. They are not diseased. And some do have poor manners. But we have become a diseased and lazy society and leave much to much up to those who could care less about us or our children. We need honest and good doctors and physicians, great and caring teachers and intelligent, loving parents.

[isk8terky]

THANK YOU DR.BLOCK in loving memory of my son Aaron.

[jillatay]

Thanks again for giving out this valuable information. You are a real hero. Keep up the good work.

[bluehouse1000]

ADHD and ADD are just a made up label - psychiatrists don't even know how to do a real medical test anyways, a bunch of garbage. Love this video!

[gsgrl2000]

so youtube sensored my first comment....

refused to post it.... bottom line ADD/ADHD doesn't exist!!!!!
