They wanna drug my 10 year old son

[Roemer]

My son is diagnosed with PDD-NOS.
He's a very nice kid and he is doing great at school, he is as smart as the rest in his class,even abit above regular. But; he has a problem with other kids because he does not understand everything about socializing. He can be very stubbern and thinks that no one understands him. But when he is at home with my ex-wife there is, with 3 other kids in the house, not a real problem. When he is with me, there is no problem at all. Only at school. Because of his disorder he is behind emotially 2 years. So he cant keep up with everyone. A psychiatrist, we consulted, thinks thats the problem. I agree with that. A school where they are specialized in PDD-NOS and ADHD, he thinks ,will improve a lot of the situation. My ex wife, thinks he is better of surrounded by "normal" kids and dont want all the hassel because he has to go to a school 40 miles from home instead of two blocks away. But because of the problems with[Tristan is his name] my son, school wont keep him there unless he takes medication like ritalin or strattera. Look it up! everything you find about this is BAD NEWS. She still think this is the easiest way to solve the problem and really thinks a few pills a day will make him the ideal child he should be, even i mailed her all the information about this ****. She is not aware. She believes mainstream opinion is good and i am slightly crazy. Tried everything to get it out of her head without any results. I dont want my kid on drugs like ritalin because it is:AMFITAMINES YOU KNOW WE CALLED IT SPEED, when i was young[hmm they still do i think]. How in heavens name can that **** for a psychic healthy human being, lead you into the biggest social, health and finacial probems(you will die from it doctors say) but for my ten year old son, with a lot of social problems ,it will be the solution?
Because he is living with his mom she got the power to do this without my permission. And i think she makes THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE WORLD!!!
It keeps me awake at night and i try to figger out how i could stop this, but the answers i come up with are not done because it will make things worse for Tristan. I dont know how to handle this. Thats why i wrote this here and hope to get usefull information, from people who know more than i do, about this situation.

ADD is fictional.

It is how they trick you into taking their Babylon Mind Control Poisons.


Speed Kills.


Considering that we are now in economic world war it may not be a problem for you because with no money you won't be able to buy their poisons.

Well... this isn't easier than driving 40 miles, that is for sure, but have you considered home schooling?

You might want to consider home schooling. There is no need for your son to be on medication. Doctors like to tell you what to do because it is their job. But the choice is up to you. Ask your son what he thinks would be the best option?

More than likely he may be better to be out of a public school if he is sensitive to the outer environment.

That is my opinion anyway. Good Luck.

Peace

Hi Roemer

I am a chiropractor so bare with me.
Everything you read about in the DSM-IV (this is the manual for psychiatrists) appears to be devoid of scientific fact. There is no such thing as a Mathematics Disorder, etc. As for ADD, PDD-NOS, etc. there are currently NO specific tests for these types of disorders (in the body). They are clinically decided upon by the practitioner. A blind opinion. There have been schools for ADD and ADHD children that have concentrated on the diet and kids have raised attention span and alertness far exceeding the expectations of the original diagnosis. Why? Because these disorders aren't what the paradigm has been predicated upon. They are bogus. Ritalin, etc. are smaller forms of heroine. They are powerful and dangerous meds.
Please consult with a functional medicine specialist. These are MDs, DOs, DCs (like me), NPs, NDs and the like - a harmonious mix. Check out www.functionalmedicine.org
Find a practitioner in your area and DO NOT allow your child to be a drug-addicted-potential-gone-south. This groupthink of drugs help everyone is rediculous. The change starts with you. Please do the BETTER thing. Look for alternatives in any way you can.

Good luck!

What in the blazes is PDD-NOS?

Regardless any so called condition is based on a set of ludicrous rules denoting what is suppose to be "normal" which are set by some pretty sick individuals with other agendas.

It's a pervasive mental disorder (pervasive development disorder-not otherwise specified). Fancy terms that ultimately mean the child has a unique personality.
It is a type of autism.

[Peace4Gaia]

This is just heart-wrenching!

I don't have any idea what the legal system is like in the Netherlands... but are you sure you have no say? Here in the U.S., it depends on which State you're in, but unless you're divorce specified that she has full legal custody... you should have some recourse. We have something called "joint custody" which means both parents must agree on certain decisions. Can you at least get a second opinion from another doctor to dispute the schools insistence on drugging your child? or try another route... deal directly with the school... do they REALLY have the right to ban your child if you do not agree to drug him? Can you get some legal advise? Start researching everything about your rights and what the school system can and cannot dictate to you in regards to your child's health status.

Research and start writing letters! And document what you find to help others in this same situation. Who knows? Maybe you can use this to dispute her custodial status and get custody turned over to you?

I can't believe this is a global phenomenon!!! I thought we in the U.S. were the only ones idiotic enough to drug an entire generation or two!!

Please do some research into his diet...My sister-in-law has autism. Her mom stripped her diet of all glutten (sp?) and she is amazingly better. She still has autism, but has made marked improvement...she is now attending college as a freshmen. I would look at all viable alternatives before using medications.

[eris]

i offer my sympathy, it is truly difficult in such split parenting situations i know from experience

my only advice would be tell her that modern medicine is now the foremost (read that again) cause of death in the US

i recommend the drug company expose by Gary Null called Prescription for Disaster

to make people think twice about starting any medication

[FrostyMcunicron]

I am 18 years of age & the school system tried to tell me and many others we needed ADHD & other meds since i was 9, its bs do not buy into the pharmaceutical regime! Amphetamine(Aderal Riddelin Concerta etc.) IS NOT THE ANSWER!! Meditation & removing RED dies & Yellow 5 etc. from the childs diet may help to drastically reduce hyper activity if thats a problem. The schools just want the kid more docile please do not be fooled by any one trying to say its for "their own good!" IT SIMPLY ISNT!! NO ONE SHOULD GROW UP ON AMPHETAMINES! Methamphetamine - Methyl ring = methamphetamine.(?)

beste Roemer,

Ik antwoord voor het gemak even in het Nederlands.
Ik betwijfel ten zeerste of de school het recht heeft Tristan te weigeren als hij geen medicatie neemt.
Zo ja, dan is 40 km rijden de beste optie.
Eventueel zou je contact op kunnen nemen met Tinus Smits. Klassiek Homeopaath in Eindhoven. Hij is gespecialiseerd in de behandeling van kinderen met Vaccinatie bijwerkingen.Je vindt daar ook adressen van homeopathen in jouw omgeving die je kunnen helpen hierbij.
Mogelijk is de oorzaak van Tristans gevoeligheid een bijwerking van vaccinaties.
Ik zou dat allereerst uitzoeken.
Behandeling daarvan lost het probleem snel op.

Don't let them put your child on drugs.

Intelligent children have a hard time coping socially in school. The herd wants to bring them down to their level and they do this by teasing, ridiculing and casting away those that function on a higher (or lower) level.

The social need to conform runs deep and kids making fun of other kids who are different is a manifestation of that need.

People don't realize that it is just as difficult for the highly intelligent to relate to the herd as it is the less intelligent. They move the less intelligent into special groups to prevent the other children from making fun.

Rather than giving the more intelligent the same consideration, modern science has taken to prescribing drugs to force conformity.

I know this from experience. The most difficult part of my own life was my school days. I had my first IQ test at age 4 and was cursed with a score of 159. Nobody in my class understood me - and I couldn't understand them. It is hard to be different but drugs are not the answer.

THere are many, many resources regarding diet for treating anyone with neurochemical imbalances, esp. check out these resources:

www.bodyecology.com

"The Gut and Psychology Syndrome" (book available via amazon.com)

these are probably the best nutritional resources.

as for the spiritual/emotional piece, there are a few things happening. (oh, I should tell you I am a craniosacral therapist and have worked with many kids with "labels and drugs").

First of all, the kids coming in now are totally intolerant on the spiritual level of our backward, 3D way of being. They need freedom of expression and HIGH vibration environments-definitely not what you find in public schools, or even most families, sadly.

Secondly, they must be met WHERE THEY ARE, which requires the "caregivers" In their lives to REALLY grow in themselves to meet them.

Check out the book "Sonrise". You'll have to google it. These parents were psychologists and had a child who became severely autistic, way back before it was "common." (early 80's, I believe). They essentially created their own "therapy" program which was just basically getting into their son's experience, and literally pulled him out of it. He ended up graduated from Yale (I believe) with honors. No kidding. They totally got the spiritual piece down. Please get this book!

When I work with kids like this, I see SO many factors-their own 'karma', diet, which is huge, family issues, also huge, and of course, societal issues. I think if these kids as social "canaries in the coal mine". They are showing us in their family's and in society where we are out of integrity and being inauthentic. It's a paradigm that humanity is manifesting now collectively to mirror where we are out of alignment with our spiritual truth.

You will be ok! Just love yourself, then you can see him clearly to love him!

BLESSINGS AND LOVE TO YOU!!!

Yup... the school tried to get me to put my 3 sons on meds for ADD, all three of them.
I told the teachers forget it and that they should go do their homework on the stuff.
They actually thought I was going to be compliant or something and told me I need ritalin too, that I have ADD!
(Hahahaha, No! But I have been diagnosed as a schizotypal because I have seen ghosts and believe in mystical things lol.
I do not take meds for that, its a rediculas diagnosis to make people afriad of their own ideas and beliefs.)
I told them that I envey the energy my kids have... even though sometimes they drive me to the brink of insanity...
I would rather that then a child who does nothing all day and who is too quiet. Hyper active is better then in a coma right!
All we need is some good meditation techniques.
I asked them to offer yoga to the students & if they are too hyper, send them on a jog around the school.
They wanted to drug my oldest because he twiddles his fingers and taps his desk with the pencil. That was their reason! It made me so mad.
Just make him sit on his hands then while he is not paying attention.
The school went behind my back and made them doctors apointments at the hospital. I went to the apointments, and the doctor said.. they don't need ritalin but he would prescribe it anyhow. I asked why and he said, its what the school wants. He said they send him kids everyday to be put on the stuff.
I think the teachers have been brainwashed to believe it helps the kids learn better. So I told the doctor not to waste paper on us.
The school tried to put me on the spot and I told them to go research the stuff, take it themselves for a while then come and try telling me thats what my kids need. I haven't heard anything of it since then.

[Lulu Speaks]

You have my sympathies, my own son was diagnosed with a number of disorders ranging from tourettes syndrome to autism and I was pressured to medicate him by both the schools and the medical community. I did in fact try some of the suggested medications, always though the side effects were worse than the disability. In the end I opted out of the drug solution and my son, now 16 has outgrown many of his behavioral problems, is in an alternative high school and doing well.

If I had it to do over again I would have home schooled my son at least through middle school, I think he would then have been able to handle high school.

I hope you can convince your child's mother that stimulant drugs are not the answer, in fact they just mask behaviors that need to be addressed and worked through. It's hard to learn and grow if you're kept in a drug induced fog.

I wish you all the best.

Fight for your son
Ask your wife to watch this (you have to inform her)
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...DHD+drug&hl=en

You can also recover the health of your son, check the following website/forum
http://www.ch3nutrigenomics.com/phpBB2/welcome.html

If your son has received vaccines containing thimerosal you may also want to check OSR (a new (merucry) chelator developed by Prof. Boyd Haley increasing Gluthatione levels)... you can get it through some naturopaths and MDs

He does sound overwhelmed going from one house to the other and being around so many other kids all the time basically with no rest. It sounds like maybe he needs some time by himself, to be himself (you know. riding a bike, drawing, coloring, whatever) but I know there's not a whole lot you can do about that.

It's difficult dealing with a stubborn ex-spouse. I would say to have him Home-Schooled if you are able. Where I live when they get High-School age they have an Independent Study School which has worked out well for my daughter.

I would never let my kid go on Pharmaceutical Drugs. I believe in Alternative Health Care. The problem is what are the laws where you live? If you refuse to put him on Drugs can they take your child away? I have been through some pretty intrusive situations with Child Protective Services in my day. Thank God my daughter is 18 now is all I can say.

Apparently schools can be too intrusive as well.

It would be great if you could find a good Doctor to give him a healthy alternative Diagnosis and that would be the end of that! It CAN be done.

Otherwise, try to find out what the laws are, see what could happen if you refuse to comply with the school's demands (and I suggest avoiding getting any Court involved, don't let him get caught up in "The System") and try to convince your ex-wife of the dangerous risk of Pharmaceutical Drugs. If you could convince her and get her on board with you that would be the best way.

[AndyH]

Home schooling is indeed an option, is it legal in Holland though?

Here in Ireland it's perfectly legal and accepted, you might want to consider a move...only a good idea imho though if you work in IT. There's umpteen jobs here for Dutch IT workers.

[Mike_Jetson]

The kid lives with his mom did he not say? The problem is convincing his ex wife it seems

My middle step-son was in Kindergarten when they said he must be ADHD, anxiety ridden, and in need of drugs. They said he needed drugs. I said no, his mom said no. I have personally watched a speed junkie take Ritalin, cook the wax out of the pill form, and inject it to get high. A kid like that takes extra effort, not drugs. My son is now 14, and besides being a self absorbed little jerk from time to time, he is just fine. Besides, we can all be immature, self-absorbed jerks, at age 5 or age 50. Say no to the drugs for "behavior modification," and your kid will thank you when he's 30.

How many of our great artists and intellectuals would have been put on big-pharma's dope had it existed before now?

I am a pharmacist by trade. Don't let them drug your kid.

[GenerationIke]

you would be better off allowing your child to go to a different school for the time being. Being around "normal kids" isn't really the answer. Have you been in public schools lately? In the long run, if your kid is that smart, you will be able to monitor his schooling much more closely if he is out of the normal school kids crowd. Remember, this is where they indoctrinate the masses---in public schools. And the education this day for our children isn't worth what our dollar is right now.

If you can, teach him at home, too, while he is in his special class room. You will not be sorry.

My two cents. I'm a substitute teacher in the public school systems.

I know that you know that I am not a doctor, lawyer or any medical or legal profesional. I am a pseudo-biologist. Now that the disclamer is over, please seek a hormone specialist for what I am about to tell you. I also appoligize if I make more comments about my disclamier.

I have had the same problem in my youth. In elementry school I took tests that, as i regress, that I know were IQ tests. Probably he is in the 105 to 120 IQ range, am I correct? I am in that range. Did you request to see the file the county has on him? Has he been trained or made to think in future order (IE a game like chess, but not (sid miers') civilization, a game where a piece is taken, it cannot be resurected by production?

My questions get at the heart of how and what he is feeling, thinking. Hear my hypothesis: you say his energy is high (an assumption); that he has a hard time working with others. This only means that he is red, a leader, and I bet that others in his class are around the same age correct, and you say he is ten years of age? (chinese calander Tiger) Even if you do not beleive this stuff then just check it out for fun, it may explain more than you are willing to accept as fact or pseudofact. Again, I am not a phycholigist and do not the full extent of the situation. see your phycholigist (a professional.)

Please remember that ADD and ADHD may be overdignosed in America because of lazy teachers and that teachers are not dignostic professionals, just first line issuers and that the doctors do the rest. Listen to your phycholigist and if legal action is nessarry to keep your kid in school by having the phycholigist list doubts about inital front line dignosis. A lawyer would tell you (I am not a lawyer...) that a teacher is not a phycholigist and there can be persionality conflicts not in brain chemical disbalances that ADD or ADHD is truly caused by. Further university professors who are Medical doctors can take a brain scan to see if your child has ADHD or ADD (but this may be still experimental and you will need to do your research.)


topogrphical Dignostic procedure:

1. See how he plays chess against you. does he charge fast or methodicaly think it through. How fast does he think it through. does he think 1 move, 2 moves, 3 moves or more? (if 3 moves or higher his IQ could be around 120 or greater) PS. if he charges in the first game then learns how to deflect, after move after move, game after game, then hte dignosis is easy. He is just trying to live if in dignositic step 2.

2. Examine and study how he pays attention to a TV versus a book or a written work. A TV can create pseudo-ADD or pseudo-ADHD, therefore he may have the effects of what television does to a persion, become scatterbrained, not ADD or ADDHD. If he is calm at both TV and a reading then he is just fine and is not suited for medication. However; if he is excited and cannot sit still after eating (doing the same tasks), then it can be a sugar disruption (or overefficiency), hormone effeciency disorder, or digestive issue.

The best bet is that you and your son is cacuasion (spelling), and most cacuasions are germanic in genetic orgin. If so, and he may have a genetic effeciency of digesting and utilizing sugars not ony in the digestive trac, but also in all the cellular bodies in his body. he may be very effecient! This can also be just his growing spert and hormones affecting his brain. He is ten going on 14 of course. If possible place him in sports that use both his brain and bronze, cardio and muscles. Remeber, his brain cells may have this "efficency disease" too and result in faster thinking and thus higher IQ than normal, and therefore develop logic faster than his peers.

If he is irritable if he has not eaten for more than a noramal period of time, then he could have a disease opposite than diabeties, an overproduction of instulen. Consult a doctor, a blood test may be needed.

How is this "efficency disease" trait carried genetically. It is most likely carried by the maternal X chromosome and not the paternal Y chromosome. energy is created in the cell by mitochondra the "factory cells" in our eukyroyote cells. this creates ATP from sugars that testerone is nessarry for the process for (fact check needed, I am not a doctor) and ususally creates the nessary proteens and energy for us to carry out our day. In your son's case he may be going through a testrone increase from the adreanal glands (sits on top of the kidneys, yes females need testrone too, but not as much as males, just enough for the energy production in their bodies (this also goes for prepubesent boys too...)) This testrone increase can cause early puberty, but going this far in the "efficiency disease" is going way to far for this topic.

Your son may could also have viamin or mineral defficiency or over viamein efficiency. B12 is essencial for energy and for other vial functions. Caucasions can also have hemotosis (i think that what it is called), a disease that allows too much iron to exist in the body. first the digestive track asorbs too much iron, then the body does not know what to do with it and stores it as crystals in joints, extra blood cells, the liver (wich can become a huge crystal if unchecked and then you would die.) This too can be checked by a blood test (for all vitamin and mineral deficiency and efficiency diseases.) symptoms for iron over efficiency may not fully show untill later in age because of the fast rate you son may be growing. (A blood test may not fully show this at a young age so be careful.)

Or all in all, your son may just have a diffrent persionality than what is fitting in the class, and/or a reassessment to build character and more farther and son time may be needed. Talk to your phychologiest, or even better a licesenced specalized physician.

Take my advice with a grain of salt and do your own research online, consult with physisans that are consistantly listening to both research and you and your son. (caution that some physisians are more quanatative (treat more patientens) then qualatative (teat each patient with quality time and diagnosis.)
