Drugging Of British School
Children Soars As Warnings Raised On Deadly Long Term Effects
YOUR
NEW REALITY
Monday, April 7, 2008
The pharmaceutical
zombiefication
of children younger than six years of age across England is
not slowing, it's speeding up. If there are enough disruptive,
violent episodes at schools, insurance companies will eventually
demand that all children be tested for ADHD
and dosed before they can attend school. The beginnings of programs
to mass dose British children with drugs can be seen in
this story from the UK Guardian :
New evidence has shown children's lives are being put at risk
by a surge in the use of controversial tranquillising drugs
which are being prescribed to control their behaviour, the Guardian
has learned.
The anti-psychotic drugs are being given to youngsters under
the age of six even though the drugs have no licence for use
in children except in certain schizophrenia cases, the report
says.
The number of children on the drugs has doubled since the early
1990s as the UK begins to follow a trend started in the US,
but critics say they are a "chemical cosh" that could cause
premature death.
Although the drugs are not licensed for children, doctors can
prescribe them on their own responsibility.

The drugs are not licensed for children. Who cares what the doctor
thinks? Unlicensed use of drugs is supposed to be illegal isn't
it? Oh right, those other,
non-patentable unlicensed drugs.
The increase follows a huge rise in the use of the drugs in
children in the US. Yet nobody knows how the drugs affect a
growing child's body or what may happen in the long term.
The increase has come at a time when former psychiatric best-sellers
Prozac and its class of anti-depressants have gone out of patent.
Wong says children on anti-psychotic medication are more likely
to die earlier - something which may not be caused by the drug
but which gives cause for concern. "The mortality rate is much
higher. It could be some underlying problem of the brain. It
doesn't show the drug is causing any deaths, but there is this
inequality."
David Healy,
professor of psychological medicine at Cardiff University, says
the drugs may cause heart, circulation and breathing problems.
"There is a real question over whether the drugs can kill for
a number of reasons. One is that all anti-psychotics act on
[the brain chemical] dopamine." He said dopamine was known to
have a role in cardiovascular regulation. A number of children
in the US, given stimulants - which also act on the dopamine
system - after being diagnosed with ADHD
(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), have suddenly died,
said Healy.
He was asked by lawyers in the US to give an opinion on a child
who was diagnosed when she was a baby first with ADHD,
then depression and finally bipolar disorder (manic depression).
"Having spent 75% of her life on one of these drugs, she dropped
dead at the age of two," he said.
Has anyone ever seen a baby that doesn't have symptoms of ADHD?
The world is a confusing, sometimes shocking place. Everything
is new and interesting to them.
The drug watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare
products Regulatory Authority, is concerned about the use of
such drugs without evidence to prove they are safe in children....
Yes, and what are they going to do about it?
Nothing.
....unless the manufacturers conduct trials, its hands are
tied.
The drug makers have to conduct trials to show how dangerous their
own product is before the regulatory body can act to stop the drug's
distribution to children.
WTF?
