INTRODUCTION
Excerpted from an article by Kelly Patricia O'Meara for Insight
Magazine
"I think that part of what we've got to do, is to reflect
on how we can both identify and get "help" to children
who need it, whether or not they want it or are willing to accept
it," declared first lady and wanna-be junior senator from New
York, Hillary Rodham Clinton. The first lady's comment, put in the
context of how to deal with tragedies such as the shooting at Columbine
High School in Littleton, Colo., was delivered to a standing-room-only
crowd at the June 7, 1999 White House Conference on Mental Health.
She was directly advocating the forced drugging of schoolchildren
with psychotrophic drugs such as Ritalin.
The first lady, however, was not alone in advocating this chilling
agenda for dealing with schoolhouse behavioral problems. During
the conference that critics dubbed a cheerleading session for the
pharmaceutical industry, the president's mental health adviser and
candidate for first lady, Tipper Gore, joined in leading the psychopharmacological
charge. This Clinton-Gore team advocates identifying schoolchildren
as mentally ill and requiring them to take psychotropic drugs to
control any inattentive behavior.
Members of the opposing team, which include a growing number of
well?respected physicians who have spent their lives resisting subjective
diagnoses of mental illnesses are astonished by such pronouncements.
They told Insight they would jump at the opportunity to present
their contrary data from such a highly visible platform as the well
publicized Clinton-Gore White House conference but were not invited
to offer opposing research.
So what's going on here? Apparently looking at the real underlying
causes of school?age violence, the announced reason for the Hillary-Tipper
conference, was not on the agenda. Making a statement about the
6 million children being "treated" for ADHD with highly
addictive stimulants, including Ritalin, did not fit that bill.
Nor did even one of the distinguished speakers raise the issue revealing
the dramatic connection between the then five most recent school
shootings: All the accused shooters had been treated with psychotrophic
drugs, including Ritalin, Luvox and Prozac.
While it is insulting to many physicians who are aware of the fraud
that is being perpetrated in the name of treating mental illness
for men in positions of extreme power to continue to push the strict
pharmacological line, this has been endemic in the Clinton-Gore
administration. David Satcher, the U.S. Surgeon General, is a case
in point.
Fred Baughman, a pediatric neurologist dedicated to exposing fraudulent
medical diagnoses of mental illnesses, took the Surgeon General
to task for what Baughman called Satcher's (attempt to represent
mental disorders as actual diseases." In response to a first?ever
Surgeon General's Report on Mental illness, made public in December
1999, just months after the Columbine shooting tragedy, Baughman
wrote to the nation's top medicine man asking, "Why have you
chosen to be the first?ever Surgeon General to issue a report on
mental health? As I have shown, it has little or nothing to do with
medical science, bona fide diseases or epidemics. Have other factors
motivated you? You might have addressed the biggest, most heinous
epidemic of all, that of mandating Ritalin and other addictive,
dangerous, even deadly amphetamines for 5?6 million entirely normal
American children, as 'treatment' for the wholly fraudulent psychiatric
'disease' ADHD.
"Your role in this deception and victimization is clear. Whether
you are a physician so unscientific that you cannot read their contrived
'neurobiologic' literature and see the fraud, or whether you see
it and choose to be an accomplice you should resign."
Not everyone is buying the Clinton-Gore administration line. In
mid?May (2000), a class-action lawsuit was filed in Dallas for alleged
fraud and conspiracy in overpromoting the stimulant medication Ritalin.
Three national defendants are named: Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp.
(formerly Ciba Geigy), the manufacturer of Ritalin; CHADD (Children
and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), a parent's
organization that is partially funded by the drug companies; and
the APA (American Psychiatric Association)."
SUMMARY
"Childhood pranks and play have been unscientifically redefined
by psychiatrists and psychologists as "disorders," creating
a lucrative industry at the cost of children. No behavior seems
spared: "Conduct Disorder" (CD), "Serious Reading
Disorder" (SRD), "Serious Emotional Disorder" (SED),
"Learning Disorder" (LD), "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder" (ADHD), "Attention Deficit Disorder" (ADD).
 "The
number of children labeled as "ADHD" and "LD"
has soared, especially following legislation providing financial
incentives for children to be so diagnosed. Figures increase proportional
to the number of psychologists and psychiatrists present in the
educational system."
