Dear Dr. Baughman, I am a Paraeducator [Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
for Lincoln Public Schools assigned to the Lancaster County Youth Services Center (youth detention), in Lincoln, Nebraska. I have followed the ADD debate for some time now, and expecially after observing drugged school children in the detention center, am now more firmly convenced that ever that Psychologist/Psychiatrist legal drug pushers must be brought under control. [Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
I recently received an email announcing a program in "mental health" that is going to presented the last week in June. See below. Even the governor has apparently bought into the lie of ADD! Would it be possible for you if not to actually attend this event, to at least write letters of protest at the fraud the presenters at this event will commit? Would you at least write the Governer of Nebraska? If you give me a copy of any correspondence, I will do my best to give it the widest publication. If it would help for me to give you exact addresses and perhaps names of the school board members I can provide you with them. [Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
I hope you can help. I plan on attending the event and handing out
pamphlets about the fraud of ADD and I could sure use your help.
Sincerely,
D**** ** W******, Paraeducator

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Attorney General--Janet Reno April 15, 1998 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Madam Attorney General, The single, biggest heath care fraud in US history-the representation of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to be an actual disease, and the drugging of millions of entirely normal American children, as "treatment," is spreading like a plague-still. That ADHD is wholly devoid of validity as a disease, a medical syndrome or, anything biologic or organic, is the pivotal element of the fraud. The public at large and every individual as a health care consumer, has been lead by an expensive, persistent, disinformation campaign, to believe that ADHD is an actual brain "disease," "chemical imbalance," "psychiatric disorder," "neurobiological disorder" and that the children are "abnormal," "diseased," "disabled" and in need of treatment (usually methylphenindate--Ritalin, or amphetamine--Adderal or Dexedrine, pemoline-Cylert, or one or more antidepressants or psychotropic drugs otherwise). This being the case, patients, almost without exception, are deprived of an honest, scientific portrayal of the risk/benefit ratio and of their informed consent rights. The issues of the fraud are set forth in the three documents I have enclosed, (1) Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) and Hyperkinetic Disorder (HKD):There is no Disease-The Children are Normal (11 pages, with bibliography), (2) ADHD as Fraud, Malpractice, Assault & Battery (5 pages), and (3) The Future of Mental Health: Radical Changes Ahead (3 pages). I thank you for your attention to this most urgent matter concerning the well-being of America's children (the US consumes 90% of the world's supply of methylphenindate-Ritalin, giving 90% of it to our children). I will gladly provide more information, if that is needed. I am prepared to testify to the substance of what I have charged, under oath. Sincerely yours, Fred A.
