Here’s Your Attention Prescription

Would you knowingly take potent amphetamines if you knew that they would help you focus your attention? Would you give them to a child?

That’s exactly what the conventional common treatment has become for the most over-diagnosed disorders in history – “Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD).

The medical establishment generously prescribes Ritalin, Adderall, and Dexedrine – drugs more powerful than cocaine. The fact is the drugs psychiatrists are handing out like candy for ADHD are entirely unnecessary and dangerous to you… and your children. Yet you don’t hear about natural remedies that are just as effective as these dangerous and addictive drugs.

Today, I’ll offer some perspective on the “prevalence” of ADHD and give you treatment options that don’t involve expensive, powerfully psychoactive drugs.

Is the ADHD “Epidemic” Real?

First, let’s take a step back for a second. Before World War II, we just didn’t diagnose ADHD at all. In 1985, about 500,000 people were diagnosed with ADHD. By 2000, that number had skyrocketed to 7 million. To put this in perspective: about a half million people develop this disease every year, on top of those diagnosed the previous year.

Our National Institutes of Health estimates that as many as 20 percent of children suffer from the syndrome. And by some estimates, approximately 30-70 percent of children who manifest symptoms of ADHD will continue to do so into adulthood.1

To many mental health practitioners ADHD is their “bread and butter”. Yet as I write this, there is no objective test for the diagnosis of ADHD. Kind of makes you wonder, doesn’t it? If we are in the midst of a new and sudden “epidemic” here, shouldn’t someone be seeking out the cause?
