Targeting Children
"All children exhibit ADHD-like behavior. Observe children right
before recess, or riding on a bus heading to an exciting field trip, or
anticipating a birthday party. Nothing short of strapping them down can keep
them still. Healthy children have vervea zest for life that is exhibited
in curiosity, excitement, enthusiasm, animation, vigor, and
imagination."

The defenseless innocence of children has failed to soften psychiatry's quest
for profit, and failed completely to inspire them to assess the validity,
safety or consequences of their "diagnoses," Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or "Learning
Disorder." Psychiatrists have no idea what "causes"
them; little wonder then that there are no objective, scientific criteria to
confirm such "disorders" even exist.
Kevin P. Dwyer, assistant executive director at the National Association
of School Psychologists in the U.S. admitted that the way "learning
disorders" are diagnosed is "not a science." "We're not
sophisticated enough to do a perfect diagnosis," he candidly
admitted.27
Nevertheless, a huge and entrenched psychiatric treatment and research
empire has mushroomed around ADHD. That empire demands and consumes
billions of dollars each year and has turned schools into mental health
clinics, and mentally and physically hooked millions of normal children on
mind-altering drugs.
Psychiatric diagnoses
are a multi-million
dollar industry
Today, American schools spend a combined $1 billion a year on
psychologists who work full-time to diagnose students.28 Annually,
$15 billion has been spent in the U.S. on the diagnosis, treatment and
study of psychiatry's so-called "disorders."29
