ADHD Medication May Boost Kids’ Arrhythmia Risk

Carolyn — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 18:21:59 +0000

Instead of using magnesium and controlling a child’s diet and keeping them away from sugar, food dye, preservatives, and, in some cases, dairy and gluten, the adrenal stimulant methylphenidate, which we know as Ritalin, has been prescribe to our children to suppress the neurotoxic excitation they feel on these foods. Doctors give this chemical-induced brain damage the name ADHD, which allows them to prescribe drugs with such serious sides effects as heart arrhythmias! I also think that giving young children medication for their moods sets them up for taking antidepressants in their teens, anti-anxiety meds in their 20’s and 30’s, and drugs for blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol from then on, because the more meds you take the more you deplete your magnesium and the more symptoms you develop.
