Dr. John Breeding: Drugging Dissident Children

I would love to have a reasonable discussion. However, reasonable discussion is impossible with the likes of you as you are a narcissistic Machiavellian psychopath/sociopath.

Rubbish. Reasonable discussion starts by talking reasonably. You never address any points I raise, you just call me names. That's not reasonable, nor is it a reflection on me when you do that. This is another example of your delusional fantasy land. You convince yourself that you're presented your facts clearly, and I'm the one who has been unable to respond, because it reenforces your fantasy of being some sort of intellectual, instead of a druggie burn out desperately looking for some sort of validation, but going about it all the wrong way. I do wonder if you realise how rarely I try to insult you and how often I try to show you the genuine need you have for professional help.

Dr John Breeding, a prominent psychologist, reveals the pseudoscience behind ADHD, attention deficit disorder, and the myth of antidepressants.[^] John Breeding, Ph.D., has been a psychologist for over 25 years, working with adults, children and families in Austin, Texas and around the world. He offers a variety of services in his Austin office, by telephone, or in various speaking or workshop arrangements in your won community. A significant part of John's work involves counseling with parents and children. He lectures and leads workshops for parents and educators on handling the challenge of a child who is labeled a "problem." One purpose is to assist adults in becoming more effective in their work with young people, offering non-drug alternatives to helping young people who are having a hard time. He is also director of Texans For Safe Education, a citizens group dedicated to challenging the ever-increasing role of psychiatry, especially psychiatric drugs, in the schools. Dr. Breeding is also active on other challenges of psychiatric oppression, including electroshock, and the psychiatric drugging of elders in nursing homes. Dr. Breeding obtained his doctorate in School Psychology from the University of Texas. He is the author of four books: The Wildest Colts Make the Best Horses, The Necessity of Madness and Unproductivity: Psychiatric Oppression or Human Transformation, True Nature and Great Misunderstandings, and Eyes Wide Open: Parenting and Life Manifestos for he 21st Century.

It's sick that he's able to both attract a mate, and keep her, and to have children ? I understand that's well outside your experience in life, but why is it sick ?

ADHD is wildly over diagnosed, mostly because doctors are scared not to give bad parents drugs to sedate their undisciplined kids. Drug companies love it because they make money. This is what happens when the market is allowed to work without intervention from government to stop fraud. You will have to explain his point with relation to anti depressants, and go on to explain how this guy is more qualified than the legions of psychiatrists who would put you on some sort of medication if you were willing to get help for your obvious problems. There is no way I have an hour of my life to dedicate to your insane conspiracy theories. Also, why is it that you can't present written sources ? Why can't people just read anymore ? I found what looks like a transcript. "And a scientific fact is what [when it comes to chemical imbalance and ADHD]? That there is no objective test, there is no physical or chemical abnormality that’s defined." Wrong. Perhaps this is true in the US, where the government is bought by the pharma companies, but I doubt it. My son has DONE the tests which diagnose ADHD. In fact, we're just doing another round of questionaires that amongst other things, quantify and define ADHD. We already know he's on the spectrum of ADHD, we were offered Ritalin for him 2 years ago. We are lucky, we are educated and we have the money to pay for good specialists. She asked us about Ritalin, but she did not recommend it, and I categorically stated he would only go on it as a last resort. She suggested a number of more benign steps, the most successful of which was cutting out artificial colors, esp. anything that's artificially yellow. He also cannot eat chocolate, unless it's white, cannot have soft serve ice cream, can only have McDonalds if they leave off the ketchup and mustard, etc. Thing is, it took dedicated parenting and hard work, to work out over time what his triggers were, and to continually make sure they don't appear in his diet. It's far easier for lazy parents who don't discipline their kids to decide their kid has ADHD when they probably don't, go to the GP, and demand Ritalin. The doc knows if he says no, he'll lose the business and some other doc will say yes, so they fold. None of this is a conspiracy to 'drug dissident children', it's a combination of laziness and greed. Like Autism, you're picking the wrong person to make ignorant comments to about ADHD. My wife works in the field, I have a son who has issues in this area, I've read a lot about brain science. I'll
Symptoms of ADHD[^]. The presence of six or more of the nine[sic] symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention are necessary for a diagnosis. This would mean that all the kids I was at school with (except the biddable minority) exhibited symptoms of ADHD. It is the job of the teacher to cope with this.

Well, if it is anything like the laundry list of disparate symptoms linked to above, he would be.

So, does your son exhibit Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) symptoms due to a chemical imbalance of the brain, or due to a reaction to processed foods? Are the children of the poor, whose diet generally contains a higher percentage of processed food, routinely given drugs, rather than advice on an improved diet?

Yes, ADHD and being a young boy definitely have a crossover, if looked at as a list of symptoms. That's one reason that so many lazy parents just want to drug their normal kids.
Bob Emmett wrote:

No, it's not. Those symptoms don't provide a diagnosis, they provide a trigger for more detailed testing, which then provides a diagnosis. A bit like persistent stomach pain may be an indicator of cancer, but does not provide a diagnosis, only a reason to do testing.
Bob Emmett wrote:

This is not a dichotomy. It's because of how his brain is structured that he has the reaction he does to specific foods, which then enhances his AD like symptoms. The same as the pills that make your grandfather feel better, can kill you, because you start off from a different point, physically. Incidentally, another part of his problem was a poor school environment. He was in a big class and recieved little to no positive feedback, having been labelled as a troublemaking kid. We moved him to a smaller school around the time we started the diet control and the two together changed his school life to be almost the entire opposite of what it was.

Well, advice on a good diet is everywhere, but people both don't care, or keep buying the processed food b/c it's cheaper. My wife knew someone whose children, from birth, had Coke in their sippy cups. Some people are just plain ignorant, and sometimes, that's part of the reason they are poor. I'm not saying that all kids who are ADHD can be controlled via diet, Calvin is on the spectrum, but not enough to be an extreme case. So, you mix bad diet ( which can be a trigger ) with lazy parents, who also show their laziness in not providing structure, which can also create behaviour from yo

I'm glad that you got your son sorted. I have only second hand experience of AD(H)D, kids of colleagues and de-schooled kids. In all cases a change of diet and/or environment solved the problem. (I have seen the same class of boys running riot with some teachers and working quietly through the lesson with others. And, no, no physical punishment - just that those teachers paid as much respect and attention to the boys as they demanded of them.) Note, I am not saying that there is no such thing as AD(H)D, just that there are too many misdiagnoses of it.

True. But dietary advice is also purveyed by MSM, which gives contradictory advice every other month. How are the ignorant to know which Doctor to believe?

Inevitable when you are poor.

I hope your wife dissuaded her from such a practice. Did the mother have Coke in her sippy cup as a child? Many mothers put fruit juices in sippy cups, as a healthy option. :rolleyes:

:) Bad parenting begets bad parenting. It is difficult to break the chain. Both parents need to be in accord, and often need support, but support groups are in short supply. I would like to see statistics comparing the frequency of demands for Ritalin by lazy parents, versus its recommendation by lazy Medics. (I read that parents often demand that treatment with Ritalin be reinstated, but as a doctor first prescribed it, and it worked, their request is quite reasonable when the disorder returns on withdrawal.)
