Dr. Baughman, I've sincerely enjoyed and learned a lot by searching
your website.  I'm a school teacher and for one, think that our nation is
making a huge mistake by giving our students and children "behavior pills"

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
This would not be happening were it not for the ENRON-like sell out of
the US House, and Senate to the pharmaceutical industry. Many of them know
but will not see, that the children are normal. There is an industry
lobbyist for every Congressman. This is as bad as eating our young]

I didn't know, until I read your information, the requirements for a
disease or sickness had to be verifiable by tests.

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Absolutely! Until objective
evidence of an abnormality can be shown on some exam or test, it cannot be
said abnormality = disease, is present. The leaders of psychiatry, and now
neurology, pediatrics and the rest of medicine are in collusion to decieve
the public on this point, making "patients"
of normals. See my attached letter to the editor of the august, Journal
of the American Medical Association. In their article they lie totally and
now they have refused to publish my letter which would have given them a
chance to let the truth be aired]

It makes sense that there is no such thing as ADD or ADHD.

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
The parents/public cannot imagine so
complete a betrayal as that of "biological" psychiatry-an oxymoron]

Of course there will be people who are more or less distractable (I would
be one of the mores!), but to give them a pill or drug seems totally
absurd.  I can't even imagine how all of this began!

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
It began in the 50's and 60's as the first psych drugs were being
synthesized. Pharmacological researchers theorized how brain chemistry might
be "imbalanced" in depression, anxiety, panic, etc. Never was a psychiatric
disease proven to exist, nor was that the intention of the laboratory
scientists, however the pharmaceutical market people took those dysfunction
theorys and made them into "fact"--lies, for public consumption. ADHD has
been their most heinous, most successful lie]

Do you know the beginnings?  Who first gave the label?  When did people turn
to drugs as a solution?  How did this happen?  (I'm sure greed was a major
factor)

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Greed has been the only factor, there is no medical legitimacy,
it is criminal; I know the criminals, and soon we will begin meeting them in
court. You might look at the January, 2002 "Consensus Statement" (show of
hands of those who make their living on this fraud) for a partial list.
Thanks for writing. Write your Congresspersons and Senators and tell
everyone you know to do likewise]
