The Drugging of Our Children
In the absence of any objective medical tests to determine who has ADD or ADHD, doctors rely in part on standardized assessments and the impressions of teachers and guardians while the they administer leave little room for other causes or aggravating factors, such as diet, or environment.
Hence, diagnosing a child or adolescent with ADD or ADHD is often the outcome, although no organic basis for either disease has yet to be clinically proven. Psychiatrists may then prescribe psychotropic drugs for the children without first without making it clear to parents that these medications can have severe side-effects including insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, psychotic symptoms and even potentially fatal adverse reactions, such as cardiac arrhythmia.
And yet, despite these dangers, many school systems actually work with government agencies to force parents to drug their children, threatening those who refuse with the prospect of having their children taken from the home unless they cooperate. (Excerpt from channel4.com)
Watch the full documentary now
every parent attempting to raise a child in this fu**** up society should watch this..
This is just the worst type of “documentary” ever.
A bunch of fanatics perverting the truth.
This documentary fails one important factor, absence of a masculine MAN in these children’s whole lives.
I suppose this factor would of gender and sex would be politically incorrect. Thus ignorance being the best option. Bravo! Bravo!
This is a Gary Null film. Watch it with the appropriate amount of subjectivity and skepticism.
The film was precisely on point. KIDS are being drugged and their lives destroyed, in a much larger game of money and more money. I am so glad I had the opportunity to see Gary Null crystalize my very thoughts on the subject.
Thank You!
umm yeah!…..to those that agree with the movie, it only tell’s you everything from the inside looking out. To those who disagree, looking from the outside looking in is always easier to judge. My point being , all of you should stop worrinying about impressing yourself by having an opinion, and try to impress someone else enough for them to change theirs. Everybody thinks their so damn smart. So what. You know how many smart people there are. A lot, and so. What does that mean.Not a damn thing. Let’s stop worrying about the damn problems. Let’s spend all that wasted energy on solutions. lol………what a bunch of **** huh! i say lets all talk about the problem till it kills us
So how many of you ACTUALLY have ADHD and ACTUALLY take medicine for it and know from first hand experience how much it can improve your quality of life? Uh, yeah. Anyway. Kids are being drugged and their lives destroyed? Oh, please, if I didn’t have my medicine, my life WOULD be destroyed. The insomnia, dry mouth, mild tremors, and occasional heart palpitations are a small price to pay if they can fix living with a crippling lack of motivation, total inability to concentrate, frustration at failing to reach even a fraction of your full potential, extreme impulsivity, severe lag in social skills, and the unshakable feelings of isolation that come with ADHD. I don’t like thinking about what my life would be like without my medicine. Because all I know for sure is that it wouldn’t be pretty. ADHD is far from a myth. And, are you kidding me, there is a **** ton of proven organic basis for these diseases, from dopamine deficiencies to a lack of proteins key to feeling a sense of reward and motivation. And, dude, ADD and ADHD are not even diseases. They’re technically LEARNING and DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS. If you can’t even get THAT straight, man, just about everything else you say is completely void. Way to go. Also, not even that many people I know take ADHD medicine. Don’t act like every kid everywhere is being drugged out of their minds. If anything about this documentary isn’t completely biased and one-sided, I’d be shocked.
the truth is sad. the truth is ugly. where do you see us in 10 years? the worst part is there is no end in sight. they are still using this stuff to this day. remember that movie ‘few good men’ – You cant handle the truth!!
this is just one tiny small view of truth. remember x-files ‘the truth is out there’ well, it really is and this is just a small tiny truth of a much larger picture. Some can see it and some can not, kind of like those old 3D eye pictures. WAKE UP people. The truth will set you free if you let it.
I prefer Frontline’s ‘The Medicated Child’. It’s shorter, has more information, and is not one-sided.
look up the baker act in florida, then judge
“Hence, diagnosing a child or adolescent with ADD or ADHD is often the outcome, although no organic basis for either disease has yet to be clinically proven.”
Except for the fact that hundreds of fMRI and EEG studies have shown that the brains of people diagnosed with ADHD really do work differently to those of people without ADHD. Differing levels of activity in various parts of the brain, different time-courses for that activity, plus an improvement in ADHD symptoms due to use of common ADHD medications such as methylphenidate (Ritalin), atomoxetine, etc.
There is an organic basis, without a doubt.
There are side effects such as nausea or insomnia to thousands of medications; it’s not that surprising that ADHD medications have them as well. If kids with ADHD experience such symptoms when on ADHD medication, it is completely up to them and their parents whether they continue with the medication or not. No one will force them to.
And a recent study looking at all ADHD patients treated with medication in the UK between 1993 and 2006 found no deaths associated with the medications.
The nutrients, acids, fats, etc., that we get from our foods, vitamins and water are the only chemicals the body uses for fuel. This is not new age. This is the oldest formula in history for good health and that includes good mental health. Psychotropic drugs do not cure, they suppress symptoms. If you are suffering from mental health issues talk to a medical doctor skilled in the art of good nutrition. It’s the only cure.
@ Caroline and JB.
There might be studies, but find out who paid for them before you start making assumptions.
The drug companies have ties to every study if you really investigate. Not only that, but maybe the diseases are really there, but I have yet to meet someone who had a brainscan before they where diagnosed with ADHD or ADD. So then what do the studies mean? absolutely nothing.

I suspect you’re talking out your ***, or if not please be a bit more specific because from what I know no biological cause has ever been discovered for ADD or ADHD, anything to do with the dopamine receptors which is often cited as a cause only sometimes lead to the ‘disorder’ when combined with environmental factors, and dont necessarily indicate a higher chance of developing the ‘disorder’ anyway
@nick_kcin, you are the one speaking out of your *** since there most certainly has been a biological cause as far back as 2004.
you can check for yourself…

and please do look up who funded these studies. you can make the claim that the studies are bias but until you can show the fault in the science i will have to say you are speaking out of your ***.
ok. to start with i have adhd. taking 60mg of ritalin each morning. i know ive been a bit to hyper in my younger age. but to be honest it was from grade 1-6 i was a good student. after that i started getting trouble in school but i made it. same year as i started taking ritaline i couldnt complete the course i studyed when i was 16. after that i havnt completed any education ive tryed to learn. and also during this time i started getting trouble with other drugs and alkohol. yes were beeing drugged, atleast i started getting problems with other drugs and yes i cant live today without my medics. maybe couse i thought i was normal first i dont know that. but now i cant sit at the pc without my morning meds. havnt watched this doc yet. but i just saw some comments about adhd beeing a myth and that doctors are drugging their patients. just wanted to comment this as i got this myself.
QUALITY OF LIFE – My son could not even complete kindergarten, was incapable of looking anyone in the eye for more than a fraction of a second, could not focus, could not learn, was nonfunctioning as a student, in society, as a contributing member of the society. I was absolutely against medication!
That was over 12 years ago. He has now graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA, he is responsibly holding down a fulltime job, and is working on his future. Sure, he has problems like everybody else. He’s not perfect. However, without his meds I don’t believe he would have ever completed kindergarten. The affects of the meds for ADHD have had a profound influence in his life – for the good.
Yes, there have been side effects. But, he is now a functioning and contributing adult memeber of society. I thank God for the gift of properly administered medications for the treatment of ADHD.
Insulin prolonged my father’s life. Interferon and Riboviron is iradicating my Hep-C. There was no cure for Mom’s Alzheimer’s Disease but I hope that one day there will be. There are thousands of other medications that have benefitted man, all made available through science and medicine through the knowledge the Lord has made available to us as His Children.
Unfortunately, every good thing has a potential for abuse and there are always detractors who are too afraid to accept the good that is being made available in this age of light and knowledge. Shame on you.
” To those who disagree, looking from the outside looking in is always easier to judge. My point being , all of you should stop worrinying about impressing yourself by having an opinion, and try to impress someone else enough for them to change theirs. Everybody thinks their so damn smart”
I couldnt have said it better good sir . So many trolls on this website thinking there so smart leaving there silly comments. I think they lack the attention from there peers friends and family so they need a little attention online.
To them i say if you can make a better documentary please go right ahead . Load it up here and watch the trolls come with there Im so smart attitude.
It has certaintly made me more knowledgeeable about legal drugs that is handed out to children for profit, unbelievable that the goverment and law is letting this happen, i wish luck for the mother who has been fighting to get her son back, it diabolical that she has had to go through what she has , all she has wanted is whats been in her son best intreast, and she been punised for it unbelievabal , an eye opener documentary .
Of course all of you who are taking these drugs “Think” you actually need it, you have been brain washed to think you need it, to think it works. The power of the mind is amazing. What you think is what you get.
