It sometimes takes decades to assess the drugs that are given to so many so cavalierly. Recently the side effects of the ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) drugs were studied, and the results were something less than positive, especially since the majority of these drugs are prescribed for children.
Scientists at the Center for Disease Control determined that these stimulant drugs result in over 3100 ER visits a year. Side effects that include potential cardiac problems like chest pain, stroke, high blood pressure, and rapid heart rate have caused some doctors to suggest the drugs be sold only with the most serious warning on the package inserts of Ritilin, Concerta, and Adderall. Apparently around 3.3 million, that’s 3,3000,000, citizens under the age of 19 take these medications.
NAET Allergy Treatment and dietary lifestyle changes are a better way to control most cases of ADHD. If you have family members on ADHD medications, have them call me during my Health Help Hotline — Ask the Doctor hours for a free phone consultation/new patient screening. At worst, it may save a life or a trip to the ER.
