Ritalin stunts growth of children, says study
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
New research published in the journal Pediatrics reveals that
children who take Ritalin for ADHD have their growth stunted by the
drug. With over a million children already being dosed with this
powerful narcotic, it seems bewildering that we're only now finding out
about major side effects like this one. Clearly, if a child's growth is
stunted by the drug, it is causing an imbalance in the endocrine system,
affecting hormone regulation. I wouldn't be surprised to find out,
decades later, that our "Ritalin generation" of children have widespread
reproductive disorders as well. It's all a shame, since ADHD is a
fictitious disease that was invented in order to sell prescription
drugs. There is actually no such disease -- the ADHD symptoms are
primarily caused by children's diets: soft drinks, refined white flour,
loads of refined white sugar, and plenty of fried foods and processed
foods to boot. Take a child off these manufactured substances and start
feeding them real food and the "disease" of ADHD vanishes in a matter of
weeks. This has all been succinctly demonstrated through a clinical
study that found dietary changes completely eliminate the so-called
disease.
