    Ritalin Acts Much Like Cocaine

    The August 22, 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association
    reports that researchers have found that the drug Ritalin, used in children
    with the so-called disorder ADD/ADHD, has a more potent effect on the brain
    than cocaine.

    The research was done at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York. The
    study used brain imaging to discover that Ritalin, which has the same chemical
    profile as cocaine, occupied more of the receptor sites in the brain
    responsible for the cocaine "high" than cocaine itself did.

    Cocaine is known to occupy about 50% of the receptor sites available. This
    study found that Ritalin blocks 20% more sites than cocaine. Lead researcher
    Dr. Nora Volkow said, "the data clearly show the notion that Ritalin is a weak
    stimulant is completely incorrect."

    In commentary, what can we say? Putting millions of children around the world
    on drugs that are chemically similar to and more potent than cocaine for a
    disorder that is questionable to begin with is extremely dangerous.

    Chronic hiccupping must be torture and to subject a person who is about to
    die to more torture is horrid.

    I expected her to do so. She is totally incapable of dealing with the facts.

    She is so evil that she wobviously supports torturing a person who is
    terminally ill.
