"One psychotherapist and Indigo proponent says, for these children, Ritalin will limit their amazing potential. After all, "these children are the answers to the prayers we all have for peace."
http://www.parentdish.com/2006/01/12...ew-york-times/

“Ritalin is the most often prescribed medication for ADHD. It is a stimulant that is closely related to amphetamine. Over 70 percent of all children diagnosed with ADHD are prescribed Ritalin. Another 20 percent are prescribed its generic equivalent, Methylphenidate (MPH), and another stimulant similar to Ritalin, Dexedrine."

"There are no firm figures on how many children are taking the drug. In the 1980s it was estimated that between 200,000 and 500,000 children were receiving stimulants. In 1987 750,000 children were believed to be on the medication. Both of these figures were the result of extrapolation from regional studies. A study done by the University of California, Irvine, Child Development Center estimated that in 1993 3 million children were diagnosed with ADHD. Ninety percent of these children were on medication; 1.3 million receiving Ritalin. Researchers believe that the number of children on Ritalin has grown to 3.5 million with another 1.4 million taking other medications, most likely Dexedrine."


"Production and use of Ritalin is expected to double by the year 2000, which would bring the number of children taking the medication to 7 million. Some estimate that ADHD affects 10 percent of all children. If this is so, it would mean that within a few years fully 10 million children could be on the drug."

"No other nation comes close to the US in the production and use of Ritalin. Ninety percent of all Ritalin is produced and used in the United States. Only Australia is close to the US in per capita use. Canada has seen a comparable rise, although it is still at about one-fourth of per capita use as compared to the United States. Britain has had a policy of intervening with social support for children with ADHD and using Ritalin only as a last resort, although these measures are being attacked because of budget cuts. Sweden prohibits use of the drug."

I guess that is what political dissedents felt in the former USSR,
Declared "in need for treatment" and put on medication. How many generations now are liked for who and what they are, instead of what society (people in power) drug them to be?

And finally:

All branches of the armed forces reject potential enlistees who use Ritalin or similar behavior-modifying medications.

A long-standing Department of Defense directive also instructs the military to reject those with a "chronic history" of an academic skills defect -- including ADD -- after age 12. And people who took Ritalin as teenagers to treat ADD, an inhibitor of academic skills, are rejected from military service, even if they no longer take the medication.

ADD is a medical condition where the normal blood flow to the frontal lobe is resticted. Subsequently these children engage in behaviors which are disruptive in an unconscious attempt to increase blood flow to the prefrontal cortex.

There is no blame or judgment here.. just the facts. Adults who have ADD tend to have children who have ADD. However, adults who use drugs and get pregnant.. continue to use drugs during the pregnancy, will often have babies who have neurological brian damage as a result and also be labled ADHD.

The different medications available attempt to enable the child to concentrate and stay focused. However, there is another way to treat these various brain disorders and that is through neurobiofeedback which stimulates various areas of the brain and subsequently increase the blood flow to the prefrontal cortex.

In recent research it was also shown that ADHD children's brains tended to develop differently and that some areas of the brain matured several years later as compared to normal children. This means that some of these children will outgrow their condition in their later teens.

As we have an adopted daughter whose birth mom did drugs I know about this subject backwards and forwards. We used neurobiofeedback with her beginning at age two. She had severe temper tantrums and was very destructive. We would have to wrap her in a sheet so that she wouldn't hurt herself or others until her fit was over. Later in school when she was 10 was the first time we decided to use medication to help her control her temper in school. We have found that massive doses of royal jelly and vitamin B complex works really well for her. Due to the side effects of the medication we stopped using them and now just use wholistic treatment.

There is a medical reason parents resort to medication and that should never be discounted. Each situation must be exmined from an individual perspective case-by-case. To make a general discounting statement about medication just demonstrates the lack of information that one really needs to be aware of when making a judgment regarding medicating kids.

I would recommend for everyone one Dr. Danial Amen's book. "Chang Your Brain, Chain Your Life" if you are truly interested in understanding how a deysfunctional brain really affects behavior.

Obviously coming from someone completely clueless on the affects. Sorry but no parent could ever really love their child and put them on that curse if they truly knew what it does to you and the long term side effects it can cause (and I'm speaking purely in terms of medical side effects here).

Carol,

All neurologists who have studied add so far disagree in a one single neurologigical finding for the treatment, cause and symptoms of aforementioned so called disease. It is not a disease to not fit in with 98% of the population. Personally, Id call it a blessing and do thank my lucky stars every day I dont fit in.

Most would ponder the owners of the big pharma, the agenda of the elitist mentality and those that own the companies that write the texts of the medical books and oversee the content of the cirriculum at medical schools. The same names come up time and again if you dig deep enough. The same people are on the tri-lateral commision, the cfr, and so on and so forth.

Pride kills humility.......

Yes i am an indigo, it matters not though to me, nor should it to you.

I think all indigo's at some point suffer from to much pride, this is like a disease and must be controlled.

Without name dropping look at some of the channelers that most speak of on here....... This is a lesson all should learn, no matter if indigo or not. We all can suffer from too much pride in oneself.

There are beings whose eyes are only a little covered with dust, they may come to understand the truth.

Calling people evil and warning them off from posting in a debate is not the best way to make friends.

Looking at the 23 points to a indigo then I am one but my aura is bright yellow so maybe I am a golden child, what ever I am or aren't one thing is for sure I do not consider myself to be superior to others.

I was a hyperactive child but in those days parents didnt give their children Ritalin lucky for me

WOW!, I read the indigo questions and that pretty much reflects my life perfectly, when i was like 6 or 7 i was diagnosed with ADHD and was constantly getting suspended from school. I was on a medication for the "ADHD" unrill the 5th grade. the trouble with authority in and out of school whent on untill about 9th grade when i guess i just decided to go along with school and everything. now im 17 and just graduated and i still have a few problems with authority.

By the way, just to make things clear, you need to have 19 or more of those characteristics to be Indigo. Not 16. And 'seeing things' has a lot to do with it. i think finally the posts to this thread are slowly getting back on track

[Muadib]

Hello! Please keep up the good and no doubt hard work with maintaining this thread

Everyone and everything is beyond doubt one. Make it all infinitely creative and give it free will and opinions arise that are conflicting. Different opinions may lead to the same conclusion!

The Eskimo live in a land of snow and thus he has hundreds of words for this frozen element. It is hugely important for him to understand snow.

The soul is emerging and with it words to describe it. Evolve further and the words might change too fit new understandings, in the end we ourselves might change and will need no words.

I feel I can weary well be an indigo child, being laughed and ridiculed through life for being empathic with other beings is not a choice, it simply is, and we will have to cope as best we can. Often when the mouth laughs the soul cries with in unison
