Deaths from ADD drugs include the ones of Shaina Dunkle, 10, Matthew Smith, 14, and Stephanie Hall, 11. None of these were caused by overdose, and they are certainly not alone. In between 1990 and 2000, there were 186 reported deaths from methylphenidate (the chemical name for Ritalin and Concerta) alone. There were also 500 reported hospitalisations and complications. Did you know, for instance, that drugs such as Ritalin and Concerta offer fatal side effects - the swelling of the heart and clogging of the arteries? Amphetamines (e.g. Adderell), stimulants (e.g. Ritalin, Concerta) and even old anti-depressants (e.g. Strattera) are all being used to damage your child's CNS and brain for an unproven disease. Yes, that's right - ADD and ADHD are unproven 'disorders.' Nothing has been found to conclude that AD(H)D is caused by a brain malfunction. Your pediatricians probably don't know any of the risks or side-effects of the drugs, but still prescribe them like hot cakes. Did you know that these drugs have almost identical genetic makeup as cocaine? They are basically cocaine in pill form. It is unknown what long-term damage can be caused by having these sorts of chemicals running in the bloodstream for long amounts of time every day over a number of years - your children are the guinea pigs to find out what they are. Give every child all over the world the chances they deserve and sign this petition asking the FDA to reconsider Ritalin, Concerta, Adderell, Dexedrine, Strattera and all the other dangerous and pointless drugs that are being offered up to children by them. Tell the FDA now to stop being corporate monsters and care about humanity and the health of our future generation. Sign before it's too late.
