Mark,
It should be an informed personal choice and there are always many facets to
consider. Here are some more.
Happy days,
Rod

Wow!!! You have been busy, Rod.
Thank you. A few points.
A website from drdrew,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Those Drew's are very smart people. *;*
*What is amazing about this is the scale on which doctors and parents have
embarked upon a massive experiment that may cause a variety of lasting changes
on cognitive function. As of 1995 2.8 percent of American children were on
methylphenidate (Ritalin) and that represented a sharp increase from 1.2% in
1990.*
*If anyone doubts whether, when it becomes possible to do so, humans will be
willing to reengineer their minds or the minds of their offspring consider the
use of nervous system-altering drugs on children today. Look at how willing
parents and authority figures are to embrace treatments that are not
sufficiently well understood and which probably have a number of lasting
effects on cognitive function thoroughout the rest of the lives of the children
who are given methylphenidate and other nervous system drugs.*
*The problem with Ritalin is that many of the claims made to support the drug's
status as a symbol turn out, on closer examination, to be vague or confusing.
Diller, DeGrandpre, and Walker are all, for example, deeply suspicious of our
reliance on Ritalin. They think that it is overprescribed--that it is being
used to avoid facing broader questions about our values and our society.*
*Despite the fact that the psychiatric industry is well aware of how dangerous
Ritalin is, it continues to be prescribed to children as young as two years
old*

INSANITY!!!!!

Many of these symptoms of not focusing and not sitting still can be overcome
wiith various visual aids, activities and methods. It takes time, patience and
planning.
But it is easier to request Ritalin.
Except, it doesn't work long term and the orginal symptoms return 10 fold.
Ritalin should be banned.
It is evil that this country is into drugging kids, all for the all mighty
dollar.
