    U.S. Department of Justice
    Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)
    Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section,1995
    Methylphenidate (Ritalin)

    1. Ritalin is a Schedule II stimulate, structurally and
    pharmacologically similar to amphetamines and cocaine and has the same
    dependency profile of cocaine and other stimulants.

    2. Ritalin produces amphetamine and cocaine-like reinforcing effects
    including increased rate of euphoria and drug liking. Treatment with
    Ritalin in childhood predisposes takers to cocaine's reinforcing
    effects.

    3. In humans, chronic administration of Ritalin produced tolerance and
    showed cross-tolerance with cocaine and amphetamines.

    4. Ritalin is chosen over cocaine in self-administered preference
    studies in non-human primates.

    5. Ritalin produces behavioral, physiological and reinforcing effects
    similar to amphetamines.

    6. Ritalin substitutes for cocaine and amphetamines in scientific
    studies.

    7. Children medicated with Ritalin who tried cocaine reported higher
    levels of drug dependence than those who had not used Ritalin.

    8. Ritalin abuse is neither benign or rare in occurrence and is
    accurately described as producing severe dependence.

    9. Sweden removed Ritalin from its market in 1968 because of
    widespread abuse.

    10. More high school seniors were abusing Ritalin than those taking it
    medically prescribed.

    11. Side-effects or Ritalin: increased blood pressure, heart rate,
    respirations and temperature; appetite suppression, weight loss,
    growth retardation; facial tics, muscle twitching, central nervous
    system stimulation, euphoria, nervousness, irritability and agitation,
    psychotic episodes, violent behavior, paranoid delusions,
    hallucinations, bizarre behaviors, heart arrhythmias, palpitations and
    high blood pressure; tolerance and psychological dependence and death.

    12. Ritalin will affect normal children and adults the same as those
    with attention and behavior problems. Effectiveness of Ritalin is not
    diagnostic.

    13. CHADD, non-profit organization, which promotes the use of Ritalin,
    also receives a great deal of money from the drug manufacturer of
    Ritalin. CHADD does not inform its members of the abuse problems of
    Ritalin. CHADD portrays the drug as a benign, mild stimulant that is
    not associated with abuse of serious side-effects. Statements by CHADD
    are inconsistent with scientific literature.

    14. The International Narcotics Control Board expressed concern that
    CHADD is actively lobbying for the use of Ritalin in children.

    15. Ritalin is one of the top ten drugs involved in drug thefts and is
    being abused by health professionals as well as street addicts.

    "We must aim to make [Psychiatry[ permeate every educational activity
    in our national life. We have made a useful attack upon a number of
    professions. The two easiest of them, naturally, are the teaching
    profession and the Church. The two most difficult are law and
    medicine. ..Public life, politics and industry should all of them be
    within our sphere of influence. ..If we are to infiltrate the
    professional and social activities of other people I think we must
    imitate the totalitarians and organise some kind of fifth column
    activity. If better ideas on mental health are to progress and spread
    we, as the salesmen, must lose our identity. ..Let us all, therefore,
    very secretly be fifth columnists." Psychiatrist, J. R. Rees,

    I'd be a lot more likely to believe this one is real if I saw it on
    the DoJ's own web site. I'm not that up-to-date on Ritalin, but I
    seem to recall that the supposed structural similarity of cocaine
    and methylphendiate is a chemistry urban legend. Just for starters.

    I notice the web site has a whole ton of references to articles by
    Peter Breggin. That says a great deal all by itself.

    Is this "psychbusters" web site some Scientology front, or is it
    something else?

    1940? Well, that's right up to the minute, isn't it? Also, it's hard
    for me to believe that a British organization would have referred to
    itself as a "fifth column" in 1940. Or, to put it another way, I
    seriously doubt the authenticity of the quotation.

    All the peers are pushers of Ritalin.

    All peers are psychiatrists.

    Who push Ritalin.

    Who are psychiatrists.

    Then we come to peer revieewed, and those who selectively use it.

    Hey Jeff, where are the peer reviewed studies for the proof of amalgams?

    Then we have:

    Surely this can't be wrong!

    that has affected the American society within the last fifty years."

    Hmmm.

    Psychiatry has yet to validate a single
    psychiatric condition/diagnosis as an
    abornality/disease, or as anything
    'neurological', 'biological', 'chemically
    imbalanced' or 'genetic'.

    Ronald E. Fox, Ph.D., President of the American Psychological Association
    (1994), Psychologist, Presidential Address, 51(8), 1996. p. 783.

    Now on to peer reviewed:

    Robert W. Maver, F.S.A., M.A.A.A.
    Reprinted from The World Research News, 1st quarter 1998 issue, with
    permission.

    The premise is that there are innovative medical therapies existing
    today that offer solutions to some of our most pressing health
    problems and that at the same time offer a significant reduction in
    health care costs. These therapies are largely being ignored or in
    some cases ridiculed.

    To most of us involved in scientific research, this seems an odd
    notion at first. Surely, one would think, discoveries and
    breakthroughs offering great promise in the treatment of disease
    would be at once communicated and embraced by the scientific/medical
    community. However, those who study the history of scientific
    progress conclude otherwise. Science frequently fails to demonstrate
    the dispassion we attribute to it.

    Historical citations of science resisting new ideas are too numerous
    to review in any depth, from Copernicus to Galileo to Darwin, Mendel,
    Ohm, Young, Pasteur, lister, Fleming ... the list goes on and on. It
    is perhaps more instructive to briefly examine the reasons for resis
    tance to innovation in medicine.

    Tomato Effect - The tomato effect in medicine occurs when a highly
    efficacious therapy for a certain disease is ignored or rejected
    because it does not '.make sense" in the light of accepted theories
    of disease mechanism and drug action. Doctors at the University of
    New Mexico School of Medicine introduced the tomato effect in JAMA.
    May 11, 1984. Its name is derived from the history of the tomato in
    North America. By 1560, the tomato was becoming a staple of the
    continental European diet. However, it was shunned in America until
    the 1800's. Why? Because we knew it was poisonous. Everyone knew
    tomatoes belong to the nightshade family. The leaves and fruit of
    several plants in this family can cause death if ingested. The fact
    that Europeans were eating tomatoes without harm was not relevant. It
    simply did not make sense to eat poisonous food.

    Peer Review - Ile peer review process probably has done more to
    discourage innovative research than any other factor that I have
    observed. The March 9, 1990 issue of JAMA was devoted entirely to the
    topic of peer review. One article in particular, by Horrobin (himself
    editor of a peer reviewed medical journal) , cited 18 examples of
    peer review attempting to suppress medical innovation. The article
    observed: " ... some of the most distinguished of scientists may
    display sophisticated behavior that can only be described as
    pathological. Editors must be conscious that, despite public
    protestations to the contrary, many scientistreviewers are against
    innovation unless it is their innovation. Innovation from others may
    be a threat because it diminishes the importance of the scientist's
    own work.

    "Peer review in the grant giving process is so restrictive that most
    innovative scientists know they would never receive funding if they
    actually said what they were going to do. Scientists therefore have
    to tell lies in their grant applications. Such views have explicitly
    been stated by at least two Nobel Laureates."

    The (JAMA) article contends that medicine has lost sight of the basic
    purpose of peer review, asserting, "the true aim of peer review in
    biomedical science must be to improve the quality of patient care."

    Wrong Economics - When a new therapy comes along that is cheaper,
    safer and more effective, it is seen as a competitive threat to those
    engaged in the therapy it will displace. Those who stand to be most
    economically disadvantaged naturally endeavor to block its
    acceptance.

    International Barriers - A combination of communication problems
    (language barriers) and national chauvinism (if it wasn't discovered
    here it can't be of much value) keep some innovative practices
    developed in Europe and Asia from reaching the United States.

    Cumbersome Bureaucracy - It has been estimated that the FDA approval
    process takes an average of 12 years and costs $231 million. This
    presents unique difficulties for independent researchers and for
    therapies that do not lend themselves to patentability.

    It is my observation that there is a role for the insurance industry
    in advocating evaluation of innovative medical thera pies. Actuaries
    should be almost immune to the tomato effect. We are focused almost
    exclusively on statistical results as opposed to theory. Since the
    insurance industry pays most of the bills, it should have great
    economic motivation to see safe., effective and inexpensive therapies
    extensively evaluated and widely disseminated. Consideration of an
    industry-wide fund for innovative research could deal with the
    problem of peer review. The insurance industry is a sleeping economic
    giant. When it awakens to the cost containment possibilities
    available through innovative therapies, we will see enormous changes
    in the practice of medicine.

    I am sorry to tell you this post about Ritalin is DEAD ON!!

    Amercia WAKE UP.

    QUIT DRUGING KIDS!!!

    Methylphenidate does work like cocaine, including similar actions on the

    affects the pharmacology of these two drugs.

    Is this "psychbusters" web site some Scientology front, or is it
    something else?

    LOL, that seems to be a stand by, Peter Ratbags just used it today.

    If it is so hated by the debunker group, that's a difinite clue.

    So, Jan, if we "debunkers" hate Scientology it must be good? Do you
    remember what the founder of Scientology said?

    "For those of you whose Christian toes I may have stepped on, let me
    take the opportunity to disabuse you of some lovely myths. For
    instance, the historic Jesus was not nearly the sainted figure has
    been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and
    men, he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that
    belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical
    Marcab PR. You have only to look at the history his teachings
    inspired to see where it all inevitably leads. It is historic fact and
    yet man still clings to the ideal, so deep and insidious is the
    biologic implanting". L. Ron Hubbard - OT VIII

    Do you agree with him? He would be hard to hate, wouldn't he, given
    how he didn't.like psychiatrists.

    For those who came in late, Jan thinks that I should take
    responsibility for book reviews on pages at Amazon.com. These book
    reviews were written by people who are not me.

    This "report" is a forgery. It is not found anywhere on the US DEA
    website. It containsstatements never made or authorized by the DEA.

    Obviously Theta, a $cientology word, is a member of the Cult of
    $cientology.

    Jan will buy into this evil, anti-Christian cult.

    You meant to say "properly treating kids" as your recent posts of the
    study showing that proper diagnosis and treatment of ADHD and drug
    abuse proves.

    BTW, please answer my questions that I have posted to you about the
    study.

    Thanks, sport.
