ADHD? If you want the real story on this so-called "disease," read this interview with Dr. Fred Baughman, a neurologist. It reveals the truth about the ADHD fraud and Big Pharma's attempt to turn children into chemically-managed profit centers. link removed

Grace I really admire you. You sound like a remarkable person. What you have written could help a lot of people. I am so sorry to hear what you have been through. Is there a beautiful place you can go to sometimes. I go for walks where I see tiny pretty birds sing and being in the moment where all I see is their beauty makes me feel at peace.

I would focus my energy on helping your brother get well. Turning in the dealer is not something I would do just realise the drug thing is a health issue that needs a lot of support, patience and understanding for the person to get well. Providing they want to. Getting the authorities involved could just make the situation worse I would try something like a trip to the country to get your brother in a different environment where he can look at things from a different perspective and appreciate that there is a hope and a future for him to get well and overcome this problem. Good Luck

I don't care about people talking about me. That is all a lot of people do anyway. I just need to do what is right for me and look after myself. I don't want to subject myself to an earful of nonsense which is why I often come to forums because at least here you can get some interesting view points. It is a cold grey day outside I feel like cuddling up to the cat who is wrapped in a mohair shawl.

I have had a shock at how shallow people can be over the past 2 years. Since I was in a serious car accident I have not had any support from friends or family and because I have not been well have had to cut a lot of people out of my life because they were doing more harm than good. I have known a lot of pople that are obsessed with trying to compare where you are at financially which I find sickening because obviously there are set backs as you wait for compensation. One woman I was so fed up with but still part of me still wanted to have some friend and I said You'll have to come over and I'll buy you dinner at a restaurant. JUst to make the person see that I was doing ok financially and stop talking about superficial crap. Since then she is always ringing to try and organise a time. Isn't it a shock that after the accident no one rang to see how I was but if they think they will get a free meal they are on the phone. I want to get out of this. I will buy people lunch if I feel a genuine situation but I hate that this woman has done this and I want to get out of it. Sorry I am rambling but need to clarify my thoughts. I thought I was being paranoid and what a nice thing to do to take her out for lunch. But I should not have to. Gosh I wish I could meet some decent people.

Hi Gecko What you have said is really very insightful and very true. I really appreciate your insights and agree . I think it is a fine document that you could consider having published.

I would try ringing the police and make complaints. Explain your situation. I am so sorry to hear of your experience but really admire you for what you have achieved. It sounds to me like you have overcome so much and you will get through this too. You need strenghth and courage. I wish I could have words with this boof head I would hose him with a garden hose .

That is fantastic that you haven't stolen in a few weeks. Avoiding things that catch your eye is a good move at the moment. You have the wheels in motion to talk to a doctor so I really hope that goes well for you. I hope that you and your mum will be happy in your home you are moving into. The very best of luck.

It is good that you can talk to your doctor. Just take things a step at a time. You are taking steps to getting well and overcome this so congratulations.

This is an example of my concerns... link removed

I guess I am saying that all to often people can jump to conclusions that someone has a certain disorder and give them a label. I think it is important to look at all options eg diet, lifes circumstances, etc because sometimes we can be having a normal reaction to an abnormal situation and other things may be better for us than jumping into medication without looking at or trying some other things first. eg a change of diet, more sleep, a holiday or just someone understanding to talk to...maybe a pet to cuddle. People may have things happening in their life that could easily be dismissed as a disorder but I am saying that we could take more control of our health by striving to look at all possible solutions.

I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts Gecko. I am not debating what is or is not truth but just query why it is that in society so many people accept what they are told and feel intimidated to question this or ask why. I think it is good to think for yourself and ask questions, not be moulded into a zombie that accepts anything as gospel. Yesterday I saw a sea eagle right in front of me sitting on a tree branch with a fish under its claw, looking out to the lake. I did not notice it at first because I was looking out at the middle of the lake where there were a group of pelicans.

I agree with Slagar, you need to protect yourself and did the best for your self protection. If you had been drinking and were concerned about your judgement at the time it is more than understandable to keep a low profile. I would not have liked to get involved either. Help the police where you can if you feel comfortable to do so but you must always put your safety first.

How come when we experience a reaction to things in society that are not deemed by shrinks etc as normal it is seen as a disorder. Who comes up with these names and who is to say that sometimes it is perfectly normal to be suspicious of our surroundings. The truth has to come out and people are usually perfectly normal and get conditioned into thinking there is something wrong so evil pharmaceutical companies profit. Tell the truth and sound insane. Shut up and people perish in a cess pool of lies and deceptions and chemicals.

Sounds like good advice Robo Warrior. I am just pretty scared, I will have to work up some courage, maybe ring first to see if I can make a time. I just miss him.
