Why are amphetamines given to children?
Rats aren't people. But I will take any excuse I can get to show the absolute
psychoticness of giving amphetamines to children for any reason. Why are
amphetamines given to children? Easy. M-O-N-E-Y. If 7% (1.6 million) children
are diagosed with ADHD in this country, this translates to over $2 billion
per year in physician and drug costs. Thats enough to motivate a whole
industry to action. - David I. Minkoff, MD read

A Hefty Price Tag
Sometimes we need hospitals, but they can be dangerous places. When you have
to be in one, have your family be on the round the clock lookout for you.
Make sure that the medicine is the proper one, that everything that is done
has been explained by the doctor first, and that no one enters the room to

Mercury, Fish Oils, and the Risk of Myocardial
Infarction
There is a lot of Mercury in our environment. It's one of the most toxic substances
around. It can damage every organ in your body. God forbid someone would put
it in your teeth. Medical research is now proving that it can effect the heart
and cause everything from rhythm disturbances to heart attacks and heart failure.
Your cardiologist doesn't believe this
yet. He will in ten years. That's too long for me. It is possible to safely
detoxify the body of mercury and other heavy metals. We developed Metal Free
some years ago to handle this problem. See www.metal-free.com for
more information. This is no joke. Its real and it should be corrected. - David
