Bipolar Hoax
Parents Get Informed

The Bipolar Hoax

Do you know that millions of children around the world are now on psychiatric drugs? The sheer magnitude of this drugging effort alone should be enough to convince parents or teachers that there is a potential danger to their child's future.

It's ridiculous to be giving psychiatric drugs for bipolar disorder to children much less to toddlers. Yet today all over the "civilized" world we are drugging our children due to the bipolar hoax. Even toddlers are being given psychiatric drugs for Bipolar Disorder in record numbers. Today, we will be discussing the horrible bipolar hoax industry. We'll be addressing nine bipolar hoaxes and answering the following questions:

• What is the increased danger our toddlers, school age children and teenagers face today from our own medical society and "professionals?"
• Just exactly what are these children and toddlers "suffering" from?
• What do these bipolar psychiatric drugs have to do with learning?
• What sort of drugs are they?
• Who says they are necessary?
• Are they safe?
• What alternatives parents of "bipolar children" have.

What is the Increased Danger?
For millions of children around the world now on prescribed drugs by trusted advisers, who were ready to answer all of their parent's concerns. Unfortunately, these parents are told by a psychiatrist or psychologist that their child suffers from a mood or brain disorder affecting their child's ability to learn. This brain disorder is commonly called a Learning Disorder (LD). This disorder is also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and is closely related to the diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder.

Dangerous Bipolar Hoax #1. Bipolar disorder is a "brain disease" or a "chemical imbalance" that is a well-recognized, medical problem demanding continuous prescribed medicine, so the parents are told.

Just Exactly What are these Children "Suffering" from?
According to the APA's (American Psychiatric Association) Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM), Bipolar and ADHD symptoms include:

• fails to give close attention to details
• makes careless mistakes in schoolwork or other tasks
• work is messy
• has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities
• finds it hard to complete task
• their mind is "elsewhere" and act as if not listening.

Dangerous Bipolar Hoax #2.These children with the above criteria are then labeled ADHD or worse by the professional and in need of psychiatric treatment.

Don't be intimidated by the Bipolar Hoax.
Questions You Need to Ask
Ok, so what's new with childhood behaviors? Using the above criteria all normal active intelligent children could easily be classified with this brain disorder.

1. Since when did we begin sending children to school who love to sit still for hours on end and pay attention?
2. Since when do we expect our children not to make mistakes?
3. Since when have we expected our children not to be messy or uncoordinated?
4. Since when have we expected children to be thrilled to concentrate for long periods of time on a specific play activity?
5. Since when do we not expect our children to day dream or have creative imaginations?
6. Since when did we expect our children not to be a bit devilish, ill tempered, tearful, or to experience wide range of emotion?

Dangerous Bipolar Hoax #3. Bipolar and ADHD now can be diagnosed scientifically. There is NO objective scientific criteria confirming the existence of ADHD or bipolar disorder. It is all conjecture based on the subjective "reading" of everyday actions and behaviors.

Continuing with with the criteria of hyperactivity according to the DSM.

• fidgets with hands and feet or squirms in his seat
• leaves seat in classroom without permission
• runs about and climbs excessively
• has difficulty in engaging in quiet activities
• talks excessively
• is on the "go"
• is impulsive, considered rude and intrudes in games or conversation w/o permission by others.

Don't be intimidated by the Bipolar Hoax.
Questions You Need to Ask
So what's new?

1. What baby or toddler have you seen that is not fascinated by his hands and feet?
2. What child have you seen that is intense on learning without any distraction?
3. What child do you know enjoys staying seated when his work is all finished at the desk or who needs a break from a strenuous math problem?
4. What child do you know that doesn't run for the nearest apple tree when at "Grandma's farm," just to see what's up there?
5. What child do you know loves to sit and read without breaks of activity?
6. What child do you know that talks slowly when excited about life and a new adventure?
7. Life to a normal child is adventure and activity. Most experience learning with their hands and mouth rather than just their eyes.

Don't mistake what I am saying here. I am only saying children are little "wanna-be-adults" in training. Parents, just like in every other area of skill in life it takes practice and discipline. Give your child a chance to practice and give him the discipline that instructs him in real life cause and effect issues. Punishment often times is dished out because the parent is angry rather than given to train the child in the way he should go. Don't make that mistake please.

So parents - Get Informed and Stay Informed, then your child will Get Healthy and Stay Healthy. No more ADHD or bipolar disorder any longer starting today should be your goal. If you need help seek out other parents that have or had "normal" children who are well behaved and doing well in school. They may be able to give you some key ideas on handling "disruptive" children.

Dangerous Bipolar Hoax #4. Teachers are told to keep a look out for bipolar disorder and ADHD in kids. Their "watch out" includes:

• looking disheveled; shirt tail out, zipper down
• failing to respond to discipline
• having friends much older or younger
• forgetting and loosing things
• not remembering assignments
• failing to check over school work
• rushing through work assignments
• seemingly to be sleepy, drowsy or restless during learning situations (Sounds like he is bored to me).

* Ok, so here we go again. Looking disheveled. Have you ever seen pictures of Albert Einstein? You may have a genius on your hands. I look disheveled myself at times. I just don't want to put myself together because in my mind I have lots of other things I want to think about or I need to do. That very well could be the mind of your child.

* Failing to respond to discipline - how many of us learn the first time? Not me for sure.

* Forgetting or loosing things - I don't know anybody who remembers all the time where they laid things unless they have made a habit of organizing their possessions and have been trained to organize their thoughts. This usually takes a lifetime of training.

* Having much older or younger friends. Don't you have many friends much older and younger than you?

* Not remembering assignments. Who wants to remember assignments when he's bored out of his mind with school work? I'm sure he can remember when he is supposed to go to his friend's birthday party or to the horse farm to visit grandma. Children remember what they are interested in. It's not much different for us adults.

* Failing to check over school work. See above.

* Rushing through work assignments. Who doesn't race through unpleasant chores?

* Seemingly to be sleepy, drowsy or restless during learning situations. Could be more here than expected. Please check with a qualified health specialist regarding mercury, lead, manganese, or pesticide poisoning or nutritional deficiencies.

What do these psychiatric drugs have to do with learning?
Dangerous Bipolar Hoax #5. Our psychiatrists tell us the drug is imperative to learning. The truth is psychiatric drugs have nothing to do with learning except to cover the symptoms of something else that is terribly wrong.

You can fix a hot engine by pouring cold water over it but it soon cracks the engine. The same is with prescribed drugs for brain disorders. One needs to find the source of the problem not mask it with drugs.

What sort of drugs are they?
Dangerous Bipolar Hoax #6. The APA tells us that the drugs are safe. The truth is drugs prescribed for learning disorders are not like the routine medications that a medical doctor would prescribe for a cold or fever (this is not recommended either); but drugs that are no less habit forming than mind-altering drugs such as cocaine or heroine. Please see my page on Medications.

Who says they are necessary?
Dangerous Hoax #7. Our professional psychiatrist tells us they are necessary. But there is no scientific evidence proving that a chemical imbalance in the brain is responsible for the symptoms attributed to ADHD or bipolar disorder or that ADHD/bipolar disorder is a "brain-based" disease, yet this is repeatedly claimed as fact by today's psychiatrists.

Dangerous Hoax #8. The psychiatrist listens to the history and then with an expert flair prescribes the drug." In 1998 the U.S. National Institutes of Health Conference of the world's leading brain disorder experts was forced to conclude that there is NO data confirming ADHD or bipolar disorder as brain dysfunction. Let me point out, "The psychiatrist does not do any testing.

Are Drugs Safe?
Dangerous Hoax #9. The pharmaceutical companies tell us their drugs are perfectly safe.

Here's the answer to that one from Ellen G. White, author of 4a Spiritual Gifts, 135."When drugs are introduced into the system, for a time they may seem to have a beneficial effect. A change may take place, but the disease is not cured. It will manifest itself in some other form. IN nature's efforts to expel the drug from the system, intense suffering is sometimes caused the patient. And the disease, which the drug was given to cure, may disappear, but only to reappear in a new form, such as skin diseases, ulcers, painful diseased joints, and sometimes in a more deadly form."

Please see Medications page for more info on the dangers of prescription drugs.

What alternatives do parents of ADHD and Bipolar Disorder children have?
Parents look to a NEW START, a natural way of living. We are slowly being poisoned mentally, physically, and spiritually by our society today with impure Nutrition, lack of Exercise, contaminated Water, harmful ultraviolet rays of Sunshine, lack of Temperance in society, polluted Air, lack of Rest due to materialism and the American dream, and lack of Trust in a Divine Savior. So please begin a NEW START and have a new outlook on life. Learn how you can overcome these hoaxes and get to the root of your or your child's bipolar disorder and ADHD problem.

Check this out: American Psychiatric Association Convention admits that psychiatry has no physical tests to diagnose psychiatric disorders, no chemical imbalance tests, and no idea how to cure anyone admitted by the psychiatrists themselves.

Conclusion

1. Realize your child is probably normal and the problem lies within gaining parenting skills.

According to Dr. Walker, "a child who sees a DSM-oriented doctor is almost assured of a psychiatric label and a prescription, even if the child is perfectly fine...this willy nilly labeling of virtually everyone as mentally ill is a SERIOUS DANGER to healthy children, because virtually all children have enough symptoms to get a DSM label and a drug. And of course, DSM labeling is a danger to ill children, whose true diagnoses remain undiscovered and untreated."¹

Parents you need to choose to train yourselves for better parenting skills or drug your child which requires little attention and guidance given to your "budding community citizen."

2. If your child is displaying symptoms of a psychiatric disorder the symptoms may have been brought about by other physical maladies that need attention that can be cured without harmful mind-altering drugs.

Dr. Fred A. Baughman, Jr., a pediatric neurologist and Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology, says that parents, teachers and children have been horribly betrayed when a child's behavior is labeled as a disease: They "believe they have something wrong with their brains that makes it impossible for them to control themselves without using a pill." This is reinforced by "having the most important adults in their lives, their parents and teachers, believe this as well."²

3. Psychiatric drugs have nothing to do with increasing learning.
Rather drugs always have a tendency to break down and destroy vital forces, and nature becomes so crippled in her efforts, that patient's organs systematically dies, not because they needed to but because Nature was outraged. They forgot they were made in the image of the living God and that God had provided the very foods and herbs (healing) they need to stay healthy.

4. No drug is safe.
All drugs have adverse side effects. I only recommend drugs (and I rarely do even in these cases) when it is a life and death situation. Then when all is stabilized to slowly remove oneself from the drugs which are so detrimental to the living organism. Warning: Do not remove your child or yourself off psychiatric drugs without the assistance of a non-psychiatric medical professional.

5. What you can do.
Educate yourself. Be informed. And know God never intended the use of pharmaceutical drugs. When He created us He provided us with His NEW START. Check it out today. Don't continue to believe the DANGEROUS BIPOLAR and ADHD Hoax any longer.

Following is a comment regarding giving toddlers psyho meds by Chick from Florida, "There is no way in HELL, Heaven or on God's Green Earth that I would EVER give psychiatric drugs to a child, much less a toddler. In my book, that is either just sicko, lazy parenting or parents who meekly obey a doctor's orders without question."

I couldn't have said it better myself Mr. Chick. Parents give you AND your children:

• pure down to earth nutrition: old fashioned stuff like fresh vegetables and fruit, green barley leaves, flaxseed oil, vitamin B, kelp, etc.
• pure good old fashioned exercise like tag, Rover Rover won't you come over, Red Light Green Light, baseball, kickball, mowing the grass, etc. in place of couch potato exercise in front of the TV or computer screen.


• pure water


• pure sunshine (vitamin D and the omega oils)


• pure temperance in all things including exercise, TV, homework, parental control and discipline, eating habits
• pure air
• pure rest with regularly scheduled sound nights sleep


• pure unadulterated trust in a living God who provides answers if we only ask.

Think this is all a hoax? Please check out this article. The American Psychiatric Association and read about psychiatrists attending the annual American Psychiatric Association convention admitting that psychiatry has no physical tests to diagnose psychiatric disorders, no chemical imbalance tests and have no idea how to cure anyone.
