ADHD is a fictitious disease.. Got Kids???

KIDS ARE BEING GIVEN RITALIN FOR A NON-EXISTE​NT DISEASE

May 17 08:04

The alarmed critics of the Ritalin disaster are now getting support from an entirely different side. The German weekly Der Spiegel quoted in its cover story on 2 February 2012 the US American psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg, born in 1922 as the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, who was the “scientific father of ADHD” and who said at the age of 87, seven months before his death in his last interview: “ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease”
Since 1968, however, some 40 years, Leon Eisenberg’s “disease” haunted the diagnostic and statistical manuals, first as “hyperkinetic reaction of childhood”, now called “ADHD”. The use of ADHD medications in Germany rose in only eighteen years from 34 kg (in 1993) to a record of no less than 1760 kg (in 2011) – which is a 51-fold increase in sales! In the United States every tenth boy among ten year-olds already swallows an ADHD medication on a daily basis. With an increasing tendency.

No more tears? I would rather have no more formaldehyde. I just might get my wish. Today, the personal care giant announced that it would voluntarily (after consistent pressure from the public and groups like EWG) remove hidden formaldehyde from their baby products like baby shampoo and baby washes.
Don’t see formaldehyde listed on the back of your bottle of “no more tears” shampoo? Formaldehyde is “hidden” in these products in ingredient names like “DMDM hydantoin“, and “1,4 dioxane” (which is “hidden” in listed ingredients like “fragrance”. It’s all a big fun game, you see.).

Possiible arthritis cure...


A friend of min swears that flaxseed cured his arthritis and he read an article in a science journal that it helps the body make cartilage.

Step aside, salmon. Scoot over soy. Make room for flaxseed, a rightful member of the healthiest foods club.
“Although flaxseed has been used for a long time – Hippocrates ate and wrote about it in 500 B.C. – it’s only been in the past 10 years that researchers have focused on flaxseed’s health benefits,” says Jocelyn Mathern, a registered dietitian and member of the Flax Lignan Information Bureau Advisory Board, a consumer education organization in Minneapolis.
Just two tablespoons of ground flaxseed contain more than 140 percent daily value of the inflammation-reducing omega-3 fatty acids and more lignans, a cancer-fighting plant chemical, than any other plant food on the planet. To understand this nutritional star, take a look at what’s inside.
Essential fatty acids. Fifty-seven percent of the total fatty acids in flaxseed oil is alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), one of three omega-3 fatty acids. When consumed, ALA is converted into the other, more powerful omega-3’s, docosahexaeonic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acids. Ground flaxseed has ALA, but flaxseed oil contains the highest amount. In a study where volunteers consumed flaxseed oil for four weeks, the ALAs significantly decreased pro-inflammatory compounds.
Lignans. Found in flaxseed hulls, these plant chemicals convert to plant estrogen in the digestive tract. Research suggests they may protect against several forms of cancer, prevent heart disease and alleviate menopause symptoms. Whole flaxseed must be ground or bought as meal for lignans to be absorbed by the body. Once opened, a package of flaxseed should be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator to keep it from going rancid. Flaxseed oil does not have the lignans of whole or ground flaxseeds, so look for brands that have added lignans.
Flavonoids. These compounds found in all flaxseed lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad” cholesterol. High LDL levels have been linked to a greater risk of heart disease.
Fiber. Dietary fiber accounts for 28 percent of ground flaxseed’s composition. Soluble fiber has been shown to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cancer, while insoluble fiber can help prevent digestive problems.
Note: Flaxseed oil should be avoided by those taking blood-thinners as it may increase bleeding, and taken with care by those taking cholesterol-lowering medication because it could lower cholesterol levels too far.
10 ways to Get Your Flaxseed
1. Stir 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed into oatmeal, cereal and smoothies.
3. Use ground flaxseed as a topping for salads.
4. Make vinaigrette with 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, 1 Tbsp. vinegar and 3 Tbsp. flaxseed oil.
5. Mix 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed into tuna, chicken and egg salads.
6. Add 1/4 cup whole or ground flaxseed to bread recipes.
7. Toss 1/2 lb. cooked pasta with 2 Tbsp. flaxseed oil.
9. Coat and roast vegetables in equal parts flaxseed and olive oils.
10. Replace half the oil or butter in baking recipes with flaxseed oil


Flaxseed is the seed from the plant Linum usitatissimum. Oil from the seed is used to make medicine.

People try flaxseed oil for many different conditions, including rheumatoid arthritisand high cholesterol. It is also tried for treating osteoarthritisanxietybenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), vaginal infections, dry eyes, “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis), high blood pressureheart diseasediabetes, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Some people use flaxseed oil as a laxative for constipation, for weight loss, and to prevent breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Flaxseed oil is also applied to the skin to sooth irritations or soften roughness.

In foods, flaxseed oil is used as cooking oil and in margarines.

In manufacturing, flaxseed oil is used as an ingredient in paints, varnishes, linoleum, and soap; and as a waterproofing agent.

How does it work?

Flaxseed oil is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid. The alpha-linolenic acid and related chemicals in flaxseed oil seem to decrease inflammation. That is why flaxseed oil is thought to be useful for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory (swelling) diseases.


Tiny Flaxseeds Offer Big Arthritis Benefits


Flaxseeds may be tiny, but their arthritis-healing properties are huge owing to their rich supply of alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), one of the omega-3 fatty acids that also make cold-water fish such a powerful joint protector. Flaxseed, in fact, is the very best plant source of healing omega-3s. Just two daily tablespoons of ground flaxseed, or ground flax meal, provides you with 140% of the daily recommendation for omega-3s.
1. Flaxseed tackles arthritis inflammation. Flaxseed is full of omega-3 fatty acids that reduce arthritis  inflammation by helping your body produce prostaglandins, gatekeepers of the anti-inflammatory response. Flaxseed arthritis protection begins when your body converts its ALA into potent omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the same anti-inflammatories found in omega-3-rich fish like wild salmon. Omega-3s also limit  joint pain by increasing your body’s production of anti-inflammatory fats called resolvins, which are made from the DHA and EPA your body transforms from flaxseed’s ALA.
2. Flax fends off arthritis pain. Solid science shows that people with osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) whose diets are rich in sources of omega-3s experience less inflammation and pain. In the UK, researchers at the Connective Tissue Biology Laboratories found that omega-3s quell the inflammatory biochemicals cytokines and interleukins, both of which are responsible for the soreness and stiffness in cartilage membranes. Omega-3s also drive down leukotrienes, hormones that cause inflammation and aggravate arthritis.
3. Be cautious with flax. Flax in any form is powerful enough to interact with some drugs and medical conditions. It thins the blood, so talk to your doctor if you’re taking a prescription blood-thinner, aspirin or another NSAID. Ask your doctor about taking flax if you’re on a cholesterol-lowering medication. Also, because of an estrogenic effect, check with your physician if you have had a hormone-sensitive cancer, such as breast cancer or uterine cancer.

Cordless phones cause Brain Tumors...


Court Ruling: Mobile & Cordless Phones Cause Brain Tumors | World Truth.TV

For the very first time, a supreme court has ruled that using mobile or cordless phones is directly linked to causing brain tumors, affirming what many scientists have been saying for years now about the dangers of cell phone radiation. The U.K.’s Telegraph reports that 60-year-old Innocente Marcolini, who developed a tumor in his trigeminal nerve, was ruled to have suffered this fate as a result of using his mobile handset for up to six hours every day for 12 years.
According to Italy’s Supreme Court in Rome, there is a “causal link” between Marcolini’s mobile phone use and the non-cancerous tumor that caused the entire left side of his face to become paralyzed. A respected oncologist and professor of environmental mutagenesis, Dr. Angelo Gino Levis, along with neurosurgeon Dr. Guiseppe Grasso, provided evidence at a recent trial showing that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from mobile and cordless phones damages cells.

“This is significant for very many people,” said Marcolini to reporters about his case’s ruling. “I wanted this problem to become public because many people still do not know the risks. I wanted it recognized that there was a link between my illness and the use of mobile phones and cordless phones,” he added, noting that he now has to take the extremely powerful painkiller morphine every single day just to cope with his the agony.
Though Marcolini’s brain tumor is non-cancerous, it still reportedly threatened to kill him because it had been encroaching on his carotid artery, which is the major blood vessel responsible for transporting blood to the brain. The tumor also developed directly next to where Marcolini typically held his phone next to his ear, illustrating how significantly mobile phone radiation can disrupt proper brain cell function.

Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) ruled that mobile phone devices are a “Possible Human Carcinogen,” and added them to the Class 2B carcinogens list. Earlier this year, researchers out of Washington also came forward with research showing that cell phone radiation causes significant damage to DNA, which can lead to cancer.
“Today, there are more than two billion cell phone users being exposed every day to the dangers of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) — dangers government regulators and the cell phone industry refuse to admit exist,” wrote Sue Kovach in a 2007 Life Extension Magazine report. “Included are: genetic damage, brain dysfunction, brain tumors, and other conditions such as sleep disorders and headaches.”
