This is what the master had to say on the subject of Ritalin:

And before I sign off form these decidedly mammoth posts for the time being, let’s talk about a drug called Ritalin.
This is another mind-altering substance that is chiefly targeted at children. It can seriously affect children’s behaviour and has been linked to many acts of violence in them. A 1995 report by the DEA warned that Ritalin “shares many of the pharmacological effects of… cocaine.” In fact the US government classifies Ritalin in the same category as cocaine and heroin.
A chap called Dennis Clarke who is the chairman of the Executive Advisory Board of the Citizens Commission On Human Rights International has stated “The use of Ritalin on children has no other purpose than to slow them down, shut them up and make it more difficult to move them around.”
He also says that is it an easy cop-out for the parents and teachers to give them a drug. He further highlights that the finding of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Revised Edition, published by none other than the American Psychiatric Association. He shows that this supports his claims of the dangers of using Ritalin on Children. He has shown that all information critical of Ritalin and its juvenile use was removed in the more recent edition and this confirms, he claims, that the industry is involved in a massive cover-up. I have to concur. The industry’s explanation of the removal was that it was “an error”. Too coincidental I’m afraid. It’s a stitch-up.
Clarke also points out that Children who are put on Ritalin in school are often switched to something like Prozac and other related drugs as they get older. Unfortunately for the kids who are force-fed this bilge by their brain-dead parents and teachers, the effects continue long after the prescription ceases. This is corroborated by Dr. Ann Blake Tracy, Director of the International Coalition for Drug Awareness. She goes even further by pointing out that adults who use these drugs are far more likely to commit violent crimes. She comes from Utah, home of the Mormon Church, where the use of Ritalin and Prozac is three times higher than the rest of the country per head of the population. It’s also worth noting that Utah’s rates of violent crimes have increased by a similar amount. Dennis Clarke says that the high number of incidents that involve violent children and the upsurge of juvenile suicide is attributed to the ever-growing number of children who are given drugs to control their behaviour. He gave as an example; a youngster involved in the Jonesboro killings in Arkansas.
“We do know for example, that the 13-year old in Jonesboro was being treated. Apparently they were saying he had been sexually abused as a child. They were saying he was now a sexual abuser. He had a hyperactivity label put on him as well - or “attention deficit disorder.” So we had several different things working with him. There was no chance under the Sun, Moon, or stars that this kid was not on drugs.”
Clarke says that whenever a pharm-associated violent event happens, the “crash teams” go to work, to make sure the details do not become public. Teams of psychiatrists are sent to the areas to make sure the medical records of those concerned are buried securely. Doctors are convinced to keep schtum (probably with the threat of their career being wrecked) and victims and their families are bought off to stop the case going to court. IN his word…
“It’s all being covered up, and it’s deliberate. There are billions and billions of dollars at stake here.”
One of the editors of WorldNEtDaily.com, David Bresnahan, was told by one exceptionally idiotic schoolteacher in Utah that she routinely recommends Ritalin for children in her class. She mentioned the figure of 11 out of 29 kids in her 1st grade class as being on the drug on a daily basis. He predicts the future will see more and more violent acts committed by children unless the connection between Ritalin and violent behaviour is openly acknowledged. Clarke suggests that the public, health officials and parents don’t even begin to grasp the pandemic that is weeping across America. And you don’t even have to take these “rebels” word for it! Check out the statement made by the CIBA Pharmaceutical Company in a product info release: “Warning! Sufficient data on the safety and efficacy of long-term use of Ritalin in children are not yet available.”
Incredible isn’t it? They are handing out Ritalin like candy to schoolchildren and the @#%$ company who produces it admits they have no idea of the long-term affects! Do these teachers who recommend this rubbish actually have brains of their own? Do they actually give a damn, or are they just as brain dead as all the rest? Sadly, the latter seems to be the case.
The above warning was only put out to stave off the inevitable lawsuits that will occur when the long and short term affects can no longer be denied. Herbert Okun, a member of the International Drug Control Board for the UN, told a news conference that his board is very concerned that Ritalin (methylphenidate to give it its medical name) is massively over-prescribed in the USA. He says…wait for it… that there are THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOSES OF RITALIN TAKEN EACH DAY IN THE USA, COMPARED WITH A MERE SIXTY FIVE MILLION FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD PUT TOGETHER!!!
Our children are being systematically doped and drugged into insensibility and parents and teachers are standing by and watching it happen. In fact, the often encourage it. The main children targeted are those who show active minds and those who act different to the norm. Get em while they’re young, before they can damage the status quo! Ugh. This of course leads us naturally onto……..

Conspiracies
(Conspiracies don't just confine themselves to politics........ Try the medical world.)
While I have no personal experience with Ritalin, a woman I work with has been trying desperately to keep her ADHD child from taking it - much to the teachers' chagrin. They have chastised her for not taking the easy way out and medicating her child like everyone else does. Of course, they don't know Kim
🙂 Shortly after her husband began taking a new chemotherapy drug, he was rushed to the hospital for collapse. While there, he had several grand mal seizures. The neurologist could find no underlying cause for this in a man his age -MRI's and spinal taps were all "negative." So he was started on Dilantin and diagnosed as an epileptic. Not satisfied with this response, my friend began investigating this new medication. She found one of the doctors who had done the original drug trial and mentioned her husband's case to him. He readily admitted that seizures were a known side effect of the medication, but since it had occured in an insignicant percentage of the study population, it was not one of the side effects that had to be "reported." Her husband stopped the chemo and no further seizures have occured - however, the neurologist won't admit that the drug could have been the cause since he's already signed off on the diagnosis of epilepsy. Because of this, two things have happened: her husband's Dilantin level had to be checked and was found to be "below therapeutic levels" - so the doctor's assistant (not the doctor mind you) told my friend to double his dose. In its infinite wisdom, the drug company only makes Dilantin in capsular form, so doses can't be increased by halving the thing. So my friend doubled the dose. And her husband began slurring his speech and was too nauseated to eat. But she dutifully had his level rechecked. He was above therapeutic range - but just barely. The doctor's assistant wouldn't budge - he had to stay on that dose. Well, my friend doesn't take too kindly to dictators and informed the assistant that he could stay below the therapeutic range and function as a normal human being or he could become a zombie on the accepted dose - and she wasn't living with a zombie. Meanwhile, because of the epilepsy label, he can't just stop taking the drug. He has to willingly suspend his driver's license for three months while he is tapered off it to prove that he isn't an epileptic...Now, I'm not saying he definitely doesn't have epilepsy. And unless he does stop the Dilantin and has a subsequent seizure, the neurologist can't really say 100% either. But he isn't going to jeopardize his license or open up to potential litigation by saying he may have made a mistake. Coincidentally, this is the same neurologist who told my mother twelve years ago that she either had an inoperable brain tumor or MS, her guess was as good as his. It does make me wonder.
