Psychiatrists, Children and Drug Industry’s Role

Edited to add one more...

Scientists Test Hallucinogens For Mental Ills

ADHD = Attention Dialled into a Higher Dimension 

Yeah no kidding!  I like that one

I have always called ADD Ascending Dimensions Delirium

The public school system was created around the Industrial Revolution, where it was easiest to churn out little cookie-cutter kids to perform jobs in factories. Times have changed dramatically, but we still have the same boxed system from years ago.

I agree.  One big difference, however, is they used to physically beat the children into submission and conformity at school.  It was much more common in the home, too!  Perhaps since beating is now properly recognized as abuse, they need another way to control the children?  Nowdays they break the children's spirits using chemicals. 

Yes, we need a BIG change...

"a doctor noted I was underperforming for my IQ and so prescribed Ritalin"

Ok, there's about 8 things wrong with that statement, that didn't jump out at me the first time. I just re-scanned this thread, may I ask:

1. are you referring to a psychiatric doctor, or a medical doctor?

2. even if it was a psychiatric doc, it should be no business of theirs to correlate intelligence with ambition.

3. if it was a medical doctor, is it standard for doctors in the UK to be privy
to 'performance' data from the public school system there?

I may be zooming in too close on that one statement, but that almost smells like a setup. Maybe you see where I am going with this...... is there anyone who might want to have you become a zombie? Who would get your inheritance if something happened to you?
(you don't have to answer that or any of the above)

And, even if this was the case, it wouldn't change where you are at, I am wondering because this type of stuff is common where large sums of money are at stake.

Aside from that, I would just like to put my 3 cents in about the word _drug_.

That word automatically has negative connotations for most people.

I personally think that word should ONLY be used when referring to a MAN MADE, or synthetic substance. (I'm not yelling, I just can't figure out how to do italics...sorry)

In that light, the word drug SHOULD be seen in a negative vain. Now, I won't say heroin or cocaine are a great idea, but both of those do have positive uses.

There should be 3 categories, in my opinion.... in order of potential harmfulness.

Class A: manmade substances which have little or no effect on the actual diagnosis, and usually have an equal or greater SIDE effect. Aspirin, Ritalin, Prozac, Xanax, Methamphetamine to name a few.

Class B: alcohol,heroin,cocaine,tobacco.
Substances that are for the most part 'natural', but have varying degrees of (positive or negative) usefulness in  treating or alleviating symptoms, and are more prone to user dependency.

Class C: cannabis, ayahuasca, DMT, salvia, which I will call the "sacred substances" or catalysts. As with the two previous classes, abuse is a possibility, however what separates these is their almost universal beneficial or enlightening qualities, used in moderation, or even only once. These are the ones I believe were put here for us to connect with the higher being, but should only be deemed necessary by one's own desires, not peer pressure, and not a desire for self-destruction.
People are quick to classify all of the above as 'drugs' and 'negative'. Fine.

But it should be a decision made unaffected by the opinions of status quo. It should be a choice available to everyone without fear of being labeled,(or incarcerated) or out of fear of going against societal conditioning and insane propaganda. True personal choice seems to be a long lost virtue, and it makes me sad..... but that's my 3 cents               J

How can this clarity of consciousness help cure ailments.  Well we are not physical beings, we only appear to be.  This ayahausca can take you spiritually to the source of your ailment and let you face it, face to face.   What occurs during this experience is mostly beyond words, but if you will soon come into a large source of financing, I think that Ayahausca would definately be beneficial.

Here is the link but try not to be put off by the blatant sales BS...it is a genuine product worth considering.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue are also waste-basket syndromes. They don't know (or want to admit) what's wrong, so they slap a label on you and give you a drug to cover up the symptoms instead of getting to the cause directly. The indirect causes of these two include environmental pollution to our bodies. That much is clear even to me, and I'm not a doctor.

Miles, I can't believe that they didn't even diagnos you, but instead put you on a very dangerous med. That's just crazy.

I also wanted to touch on what you said about shamanism. You are correct in saying that there is a dark side to it, but what you fail to realize is that you ARE that dark side. It is part of you and me and everyone. Trying to run from it or avoid it means only that you haven't evolved enough to clear that path yet.  But you are so young. It takes a lot of soul-searching and inner work and researching and reading to come to terms with your dark side.  I will agree though, that it's best to not dabble in things that you know nothing about. Awareness is your best protection, as Montalk always says (among other people). So until you reach that point, I would stay away from really intense situations. Of course, this is just advice. You have to make up your own mind based on your level of knowledge at this time. In two months, you might be ready. Who knows? Heck you might be ready now, but it doesn't sound like you've been awake very long. It's hard to perceive someone's complete personality online.

Just take it one step at a time, and do be careful of the sharks, as lilmomma said. There are many people out there who would love to take you for a ride.

Oh, and one more thing: even if you don't have ADHD, I think you should still consider the oil blend supplements, just because they're nourishing for the body and brain. They are expensive, though, so you'll have to save up your money to start these. It doesn't have an immediate effect; you'll need to be on them for a couple months to notice a difference, sometimes.

I did have a short run with 'zac, so I know also what these compounds do to your balance, and how they blight the higher centers.... they are diabolical substances.

Some good suggestions on here, check out Australian Bush flower essences for deep trauma healing, consider a a aya trip to Brazil, or go swimming with dolphins maybe with some of the money.In Homeopathy we would often use the offending substance as a remedy for the old adage of like cures like.
Helios Homeopathic pharmacy in the UK sell Ritalin as a homeopathic remedy which may be worth a try.

I second Barefoot Doc!  And don't forget the manta rays dayun undah.

I also forgot to suggest that, if it's feasible, you could visit your local humane society from time to time, or better yet, volunteer there.  If you're lucky you just might find a companion interested in adopting you while you're at it.

You can't go wrong with animals.  There's not a single shyster or charlatan among them.

I am soon inherit a multi-million british pound fortune and i'm hoping with that much resource i will be able to find an alternative therapy of benefit, i am open to anything lol...
Hi Miles

Lots of good advice and support here.  All I have to add is this.  Do be careful.  There are many, many shysters and charlatans out there who would be more than happy to take advantage and drain you of all those funds.

[My story i've written(over the past 4 months since i figured things out) 25 pages long reads like a horror tale, it an account of my entire life, that would read very differently to what my parents believe my life was really like.

Good for you!  That must have been quite difficult, to say the least, and taken much courage.  You should be proud of yourself!

One last thing, if you haven't seen the movie Thumbsucker, you might want to check it out. 

Take care, Kiddo.

Lol i'd like to say ididn't dedicate a whole four months to it, i write it slowly as things came to me over 4 months, lol. I'm sure id' get alot more done in 4 months work than 25 pages, it's been hard remembering however, i didn't even try to understand my life until the beginning of this year, i was in a clouded smokey smog of confusion prior.

Thanks your advise, well received and understood, cheers.

Miles.
