E-mail of 1/2/01 to Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD from Janet Hall, mother of
Stephanie Hall, who died in January, 1996, just prior to her 12th
birthday, from cardiac complications of Ritalin:

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Janet--Steven Hyman, MD, of the NIMH and those of several
collaborating medical schools plan to launch the Preschool ADHD
Treatment Study (PATS) within a month. Increasingly I read of the
treatment of 1 and 2 year olds. Cradle-to-grave psychiatric drugging
is here, Janet. Write Congressmen Pete Hoekstra, of Michigan, also Bob
Schaffer of Colorado, your own and others too and scream: THE CHILDREN
ARE NORMAL, WHAT THEY WOULD DO IS CRIMINAL]
Anyhow we went to Cleveland today. Jenny has no more tumor it is completely gone it is such a relief.
[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Jenny, Stephanies younger sister had a
brain tumor, a real disease. She too, had been on Ritalin until the day
Stephanie died]
Did you get to revise Stephanie's story yet?
[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
No, Janet, not yet]
It is so hard to get through this month. Friday it will be 5 years that Stephanie died. It almost overwhelms me still. And next Thursday would have been her 17th birthday. But there is no Birthday in this house anymore, but yet I decorate her grave for her Birthday. Strange you are probably thinking but it is all I have left. So I guess I should be grateful for my other 2 daughters. Well, I just thought I would touch base. Keep in touch, Janet.
[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
We are into a new year, just over joyous times with family and
friends, just past Christmas, and yet the perversion of medicine and
science that is the physician-perpetrated ADHD/Ritalin-amphetamine
epidemic doesnt stopsit only worsens, and grows more heinous.
Stephanie Hall was one such victim--normal until her parents were lead
to believe otherwise and to take part in the drugging that killed her
just after Christmas, 1996. The crime of ADHD/Ritalin and the killing
of Stephanie Hall, came flowing through again with this New Years
message from her still-grieving mother.
You can find Stephanies story: "Death by ADHD" on my web site,
adhdfraud.com. I will soon put up its longer version so one and all
can understand that her every symptom was not from ADHD--because there
is no such disease--but from Ritalin, her one and only disease, a
poisoning. Day after day, Stephanie dutifully took her medicine for a
disease that doesnt exist; that was invented so there would be a
disease for which to prescribe Ritalin.
It appears there will be no day of reckoning for those who killed
Stephanie Hall. I hear from her attorneys that we are beyond the
statute of limitations. But hopefully, in some court, some where, there
will yet be a day of reckoning for those who do this. We must see to
it. Janet & Mike, you have my pledge. ]
