Dosing our children with powerful narcotics in order to alter their brain chemistry rather than teaching them how to avoid the foods that cause these behavioral disorders in the first place. We turn our children into literal druggies by forcing them onto extremely dangerous narcotic and anti-psychotic drugs." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"The annual number of children prescribed anti-psychotic drugs jumped fivefold between 1995 and 2002, to an estimated 2.5 million, the study said. That is an increase from 8.6 out of every 1,000 children in the mid-1990s to nearly 40 out of 1,000 [4% of children]. But more than half of the prescriptions were for attention deficit and other non-psychotic conditions, the researchers said. The findings are worrisome "because it looks like these medications are being used for large numbers of children in a setting where we don't know if they work," said lead author Dr." - Byron J.

"At times I have prescribed anti-psychotic drugs to brain-damaged, retarded, children (clearly abnormal/diseased) who could be controlled no other way. Drugs of this group can induce a Parkinson's syndrome, or dystonias—torticollis and retrocollis (which often abate with cessation of the medication) and tardive (late onset) dyskinesias (involuntary writhing and tic like movements) which are often permanent and untreatable." - Fred A.
