Since I am a former victim of sympomatic diagnosis for ADD, I know a little about this roller coaster ride from the medical approach and the social order at large. The description alone for ADD would elicit feelings of inferiority. Words like deficit and disorder caused me to believe I was less than amongst the “normal”, and my brain isn’t working according to those who know better.
A caller was concerned with her pediatrician advising her to give floride supplements to her ADD child. Flouride! Isn’t fluoride bad enough in toothpaste and water, let alone adding this waste to prescriptions! Who profits from these supplements? You guessed, everyone but the victim. Regarding prescription drugs for so called ADD symptoms. The guest noted that along with symptoms like tardiness, etc, the individual suffers from anxiety and depression, which he stated is believed to be genetic in origin, and which we know cements the ADD labeling for yet generations to come.

I thank God (of my understanding) every day that I read your articles blowing holes in absurd, unproven, untested and naive medical names for human behavior. Of course a child experiencing hyperactivity and chronically late and forgetful, is anxious. (what is he eating and drinking all day?), Has anyone questioned what is going on in a child’s home environment? Is he having trouble conforming to the rigid social world in his environment; he misses cues in relationships with his peers. He moves from one task or idea to another in lightening speed, sometimes from simply having a higher intelligence and a creative mind; at other times from sheer boredom.
I will never forget a psychiatrist’s facial expression of joy now that I was on board when I submitted to prescription drug experimentation as an older adult ( actually, much older adult). In a short period of time, one major side effect which I experienced was anger, all day, every day. I stopped taking any and all meds for personal and social challenges. Now I eat organic food, vegetables and fruits. I avoid all soda, alcohol (I miss this a little), processed everything, fructose and most sugars. I take supplements which are necessary for the replacement of depletion of the nutrients heretofore existing in our soil. I live my life as simply as possible, write lots of notes and lists, and avoid drama and toxic individuals including family when necessary.

My parents were immigrants, and they would never have trusted a doctor to tell them how and what to give their children. They only accepted suggestions.They didn’t trust doctors. Thank God! What would have happened had I been a child of the 21st century whose parents were guilted into accepting a pediatrician’s final word for the pharmaceutical management of symptoms by administering poison(s)? I’m one of the lucky ones.

Here’s a stream of the program if you’re interested:

I just wished that he would have been there longer and that Alex wouldn’t have talked so much…lol But hey! He cannot help it, that is who he is. But I like still like him, no one is perfect.

The interview starts at: 9:50

Anyone who is in a rage of anger is at that moment insane.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Etc., etc.

How can we personally avoid insanity? I do not have the answer for others, but for me the answer has been working the AA 12 Step Program, experiencing a non-religious “spiritual awakening” or “awakening to reality” like that described by Carl Jung, Max Planck or William James and more commonly described as maintaining a conscious awareness that a Higher Power sustains my life through prayer, meditation, etc.
