This shows what was known in 1993 and legislation was put in place to support these students
yet suddenly it seems that the money is going into Drugs instead of giftedness - a help for the
students to cope or a crutch for the schools to say that they were not / are not the reason

(New 23Oct 98) Monsanto
is the company that makes Aspartame, Bovine Growth Hormone, Terminator
Seed Technology, Roundup, and assorted other goodies that are being proven
detrimental to the health of the family.
Sugar has been shown to be addictive
and a hazard to your health(1). It has been linked to lung disease when
used to cure tobacco. Think of burnt sugar, now think of burning it in
a cigarette. But what of cigarette manufacturers, wonder of some
of them are ready to make marijuana cigarettes - considering California's
newest legislation. What are the alternatives? It is not Aspartame or artificial
sweeteners, the ones currently on the market have been shown to CAUSE things
like Diabetes, heart attack to hyperactivity and death. So what is the
alternative? Macrobiotic Cooking(2) and the cookbooks that they have put
out can be a guideline. If anyone has other ideas, or urls please send
them to me! Will be putting a editorial on sugar in this site within the
next several weeks. In the Middle Ages refined sugar was originally handled
by apothecary shops as a dangerous drug, it was not until the Age of Enlightenment
that it started being used. It is one of the causes of degenerative disease,
as well as mental and emotional disorders. Bottom line - do we label ADD,
ADHD as genetic because we refuse to stop using things that are detrimental
to our health or do we look for the answers? One more help - some vitamins
have a bad bases, check out info on the web, I suggest you look through
the links - I use NATURAL and only the natural food supplements. These
are different in the ways that they are made. That means that even though
the merger between Monsanto and American Home Products (makers of Centrum)
fell through, "I" think that in some ways they are still treading the same
path.

The answers seem as varied as the people that give
them. Yet, I have found that there is a definite link between hyperactivity
and chemical reactions. One of these is described in Sweet Poison,
-need a link to formaldehyde in some furniture for
this next area-. Could this mean that if we use a type of
elimination technique to see what items might be affecting ourselves and
our children, and while we try that see if the elimination technique (of
chemicals) has any effect on the amount of medicine they require (if any)
that we may be in for a surprise. Could this have started during
the time that many people were trying to imply that much of what is / has
happened to us is strictly genetic?
There are some children and adults that never seem to have "obvious" allergies or reactions to the things they eat. Still I know of no one that will not have a reaction to Ammonia if they are around it long enough, and anyone that has a swimming pool know that what acid can do. Up till now medical professionals seem to have believed that the blood / brain barrier would protect our brains from what happens to our bodies, research has shown this is not true. If there can be varied reactions and reaction times to something as common as ammonia, what of some of the other items in our environment?
ADD - ADHD - GIFTED = learning styles have been around for ages. What I take exception to is people saying that everyone should be a carbon copy "peer group" and that if the child or person does not get along where they are that they will not get along anywhere else. That they are locked in some kind of cage for life. If the effects of Ritalin are suppose to be different for adults and children, then this implys that there is change. . .(New 02 Nov 98)
Watch out for Aspartame in toothpaste, and Sodium
Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laurath Sulfate in shampoo, make sure they are
from natural sources.
Then -- "Pyrethroid poisoning be made available to the general public
as a matter of urgency. The fact that these compounds are being used as
a head lice treatment for children is appalling." There

This still is basically a rough
draft. I am a student, that has a personal interest in the use and
abuse of drugs. Because of that personal interest, the only way that
I can justify the time spent putting this page together is to use it as
a reference on my scholarship applications. There are more links
that will be added in the future - they are somewhere in my bookmark file(s),
these are detailed as "for future" next to where they will be placed.
This will always be a page Under Construction, I had to stop part of my
life for my children's education, now it looks as if that education will
be my life.
