America has a serious drug problem. I’m not referring to illegal street drugs, I’m talking about FDA approved, Dr. prescribed pharmaceuticals given to children. Yes, children! In an article on NaturalNews.com Monica G. Young states that there are “20 million kids worldwide diagnosed with mental disorders, necessitating psychiatric drugs for years or life”.
I disagree with the practice of drugging these kids on so many different levels. First, why are we expecting such young people to sit quietly for hours on end? Why do we think there is something wrong with them when they can’t? If this article is correct, and 50% of African American boys in some schools are being referred for these drugs, what is wrong with our system of education? Why can’t we design schools to fit children rather than drugging children to fit school? Our society needs to reconsider what normal child behavior is and stop giving our children toxic chemicals to conform.
Since our school system will not be fixed overnight, if you have one of these precious children in your life, please consider alternatives before succumbing to the pressures from the schools and doctors. We don’t yet know what long-term damage we are doing to these children, but I do know that we can help them with essential oils. Vetiver, Balance, Serenity, and Frankincense have been used with great success for ADHD and Autism. These oils have no negative side effects while helping people of all ages focus and calm the mind.
I can help figure out what works best for your child and together we can keep our kids off drugs!
