----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Bell To: Fred Baughman Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 8:43 AM Subject: Ritalin and ITP concerns Dr. Baughman, because I trust you, can Ritalin cause this in a child? Please see below and let me know your opinion accordingly. Respectfully, Gary Bell Subject: Ritalin Long Term Effects - Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura Posted by Anita on Mar 5 2004 8:21PM My daughter Breanna who is now 15 has been on Ritalin (methylpehnidate) for 10 years. She just recently had a bone marrow biopsy which thankfully ruled out Leukemia, however, Bree is being diagnosed with ITP as above. ITP can be fatal and is a rollercoaster of a blood disease. Blood platelet disorder. See www.itppeople.com for more info on this disease. I trusted the doctors folks that this medication is safe. IT'S NOT! I beg you to get your kids off Ritalin ASAP and TELL OTHERS that it is killing our kids. WE WILL SOON HAVE AN EPIDEMIC IN AMERICA DUE TO RITALIN!
