Drug Free Children - DrugFreeChildren.org
is an informational web site dedicated to educating parents, teachers, concerned relatives, health care professionals
and others on the issues surrounding the use of "chemical restraints" on children.
This web site is sponsored by the Alliance for Drug Free Children, a non-profit organization that believes harmful, addictive drugs are not the answer for our children.
Ritalin, Adderol, Concerta and other drugs aimed at children are currently being widely prescribed in the US - up to 50% in some classrooms - for treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other behavioral concerns.
Selective serotonin uptake inhibitors are a new class of antidepressant drugs that has been increasingly used for symptom reduction for ADHD. Antidepressants carry a strong warning regarding their use in children and adolescents. This warning admonishes doctors and parents that "Patients who are started on therapy should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior".
You owe it to your children, your relatives, your friends and yourself to understand the dangers of these and other similar drugs.
Unfortunately, most of the available information is produced by drug companies and psychiatrists who have a strong financial interest in selling and prescribing these drugs. The "discovery" of ADD and ADHD - and the resulting national epidemic of psychotropic drug use in children - have produced enormous windfall profits for the pharmaceutical corporations.

Warning: Never Swallow Regular Toothpaste, by Dr. Mercola, Nutritionist
Fluoride, one of the most consumed drugs in the United States, is deliberately added to about two-thirds of U.S. public water supplies, theoretically to reduce tooth decay, even though there’s no scientifically-valid evidence proving either safety or effectiveness.
In this video, Dr. Bill Osmunson, general and cosmetic dentist for 30 years, talks about how he came to change his mind about water fluoridation, which he promoted aggressively for the first 25 years of his practice. He thought he saw the benefits, but it wasn’t until he actually reviewed the information for himself that he began to realize that fluoridation is a serious problem.
Why Does Toothpaste Carry a Warning But Fluoridated Water Does Not?
One of the first things he did was look at a tube of toothpaste, which clearly carries the warning: “Do not swallow,” and “in case of accidental ingestion, contact the poison control center.”
The amount of fluoride they’re talking about is a quarter milligram of fluoride, contained in a pea size amount of toothpaste.
But here is the kicker, This is the same amount of fluoride you find in 8 oz of water. Yet toothpaste carries a “Do not swallow” warning, whereas you’re typically told to drink eight 8oz glasses of water each day, without any concern for the amount of fluoride you will ingest.
One of Dr. Osmunson’s main concerns is water fluoridation for infants. The American Dental Association (ADA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that infants NOT receive fluoridated water for drinking, nor for making their formula, as fluoridated water contains 250 times more fluoride than mother’s milk.
“We shouldn’t fluoridate water and harm our most vulnerable,” he says.
Personally, I also strongly advise you do not give your children fluoridated water.
Unfortunately, the only way to ensure your water is pure enough to drink is by installing a good water filtration system in your house, such as a reverse osmosis filter that can filter out fluoride and other dangerous water contaminants like disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Bottled water also typically contains fluoride, even though it’s not stated on the label.
Dental Fluorosis – A Clear Sign of Excessive Fluoride Intake
The next thing Dr. Osmunson looked at was dental fluorosis. These are the white and brown spots on your teeth. The only thing that causes dental fluorosis is fluoride – typically due to ingesting too much fluoride during your developing years, from birth to about 8 years of age. According to the CDC, about one third of children and adolescents 6 to 19 years have enamel fluorosis on their teeth.
When dental fluorosis occurs, it can be an indication that the rest of your body has been exposed to too much fluoride also, such as your bones and the rest of your organs, including your brain.
So, are there actual benefits of water fluoridation?
Depending on the source, water fluoridation has been said to reduce tooth decay by anywhere from 20 to 80 percent. But when you compare the statistics between different countries, you see that no matter whether they fluoridate their water or not, tooth decay has steadily been reduced by the same amount.
Likewise, when you compare states in the U.S., you find that increased amounts of fluoride in the drinking water make no difference. We have the same amount of good healthy teeth, regardless of water fluoridation.
So, if there’s no benefit, WHY are we fluoridating?
Why Do We Fluoridate Drinking Water if It’s Not Healthy?
The evidence points to it being little more than a well-orchestrated PR stunt to aid an industry in trouble – a fascinating story in and of itself, as described so well in Christopher Bryson’s book The Fluoride Deception and in one of the best web sites on this topic, Fluoride Action Network (FAN).
Other pro-fluoride advocates go so far as to try to make you believe that fluoride is a nutrient that naturally helps build strong teeth and bones. One such example is the Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and the Council, which lists “fluoride” as one of only 28 vitamins and minerals permissible for sale for human consumption within the European Union.
But let’s make this point clear: fluoride is NOT an essential nutrient. The fluoride added to your drinking water is in fact a chemical waste product! It is NOT something you should use as a supplement to your diet.
There are plenty of studies showing the dangers of fluoride to your health, such as:
The Key to Healthy Teeth is in Your Diet!
If you’re wondering how to keep your teeth healthy, remember that fluoride was never the answer in the first place. Instead, look to your diet for naturally healthy teeth. In fact, most people whose diet includes very little sugar and few processed foods have very low rates of tooth decay.
Limiting, or eliminating sugar, and avoiding processed foods -- along with regular cleanings with your natural dentist -- will ensure that your teeth stay healthy naturally.
What You Can Do to Help Eliminate Water Fluoridation
Dr. Osmunson suggests you talk to your dentist and health care provider about water fluoridation. For example, ask them if they’ve seen the National Academy of Sciences report on fluoridation. You can help educate them by giving them information they may not have on water fluoridation and excess fluoridation exposure.
He also suggests that professional health care providers and dentists take the time to look at both sides of the issue. If you are a professional in the field, you may also want to add your name to the online Professional Statement at www.FluorideAlert.org. As of April 2009, 2,221 medical and environmental health professionals have signed this statement, calling for an end to water fluoridation.
See Dr. Mercola's website for the Interview with dentist Bill Osmunson and his concern about Fluoride.

Clogged Arteries,
Osteoporosis and Vitamin K2
I recently talked to a
health conscious person who was interested in Vitamin K2. I knew
that vitamin K2 does support bones, arteries and joints, but I
didn't have a lot of information on this vitamin. Then I started
doing some research and came up some information by Dr. Berg. I
found that Dr. Berg has two videos on K2. Very intresting.

"I felt desperate to find something that would help my painful legs from diabetic neuropathy. My doctor had suggested some prescribed medications, but when I saw the severe side effects associated with these medications, I said no way.
"I researched and found the Nerve Support Formula and read the testimonials and decided to give it a try. I received the Nerve Support on a Wednesday and by Saturday I felt improvement. I was taking 4 capsules a day and my legs were getting stronger and were without pain every day. Now, a year later I take 2 capsules a day, sometimes just 1, and I am so thankful for the wonderful relief of my neuropathy.
"I can now walk, exercise, stand and shop for longer periods of time. I have recommended them to family and friends too, and I recommend them to anyone who suffers from neuropathy leg pain. What a blessing! What a miracle solution!"
From Saundra Sims in Michigan

"I was diagnosed with diabetes last year and I realized that the pain and tingling in my feet was neuropathy brought on by diabetes.
"I suddenly changed my diet and habits. But even with diet and exercise I could not get my blood sugars down. After a month of taking 4 Nerve Support Formula a day, along with Glucose Support Formula I noticed significant improvement to my diabetic neuropathy.
