These doctors get to go on "the latest cruise" because they are pill pushers getting added bonuses! They are doing this at your child's expense!

Loop</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;There are 2 main reasons for the drugging of our children. The first is, of course to boost profits for the drug cartels (we all knew that one). The second is to &lt;B&gt;DUMB-DOWN&lt;/B&gt; and SEDATE our children! &lt;B&gt;The last thing that the elite (the infamous "they") in this country want is a population of critically analytical people!&lt;/B&gt; Critical thinking is bad for business and would lessen their control over Americans. 
&lt;P&gt;As I've said before, there is a war on information in this country and change is needed PRONTO! Support the efforts of guys like Dr. Mercola, Dr. Rath, and Gary Null. These "Rhino's" are leading the charge to change the face of healthcare as we know it!

It is sadly too true. An even scarier incident I had was refusing dangerous psych. drugs for my child and the backlash I received from particular doctors in so doing. I agree that we need to educate ourselves and take back control of our own (as well as our children's) health. However, from my experience, be careful of how you approach the situation. Some people in positions of power may feel intimidated by your knowledge, and may go as far as to say that YOU are the one harming your child because you are not the "expert." Please everyone help spread the word about natural health alternatives to help change this paradigm as quickly as possible for our youth and the future of this world.&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=86067" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Cocktails Overmedicating American Children</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2006/11/24/Drug-Cocktails-Overmedicating-American-Children.aspx#86063</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Nov 2006 18:45:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:86063</guid><dc:creator>The Herb Doc</dc:creator><description>&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&lt;B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;Good Lord Almighty! This is about to get me up in arms&lt;/B&gt;! Too much of this information is coming in way to fast about what they are doing to our children! &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;With out sounding like a paranoid or something, I have to ask the question, “OK what is the real agenda?” I know it could be one of any of my worst nightmares. Enough is enough!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Without speculating on just exactly what the agenda is for right now, I think it is safe to say there is a coordinated effort to total control or at the very least make our children more vulnerable to something! What in the Hell is going on? I have had enough! I can feel my blood pressure rising as I type this!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;I am a very peaceful Clinical Herbalist most of the time but I have had it! I just can’t take any more assaults on our children form these evil drug companies. I am sure that the wishes of regular US citizens out number the wishes of these “Drug Cartels” and that is exactly what they are!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;Here is another statistic I posted on another blog at your site that I think is worth looking at here:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

That's more that twenty times the number of Americans killed by illegal drugs, estimated at 5,212.&amp;nbsp; Will politicians declare a War on the Pharmaceutical Drug Pushers?&amp;nbsp; Of course not! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;So why are we spending $17 billion on the War on Drugs and&amp;nbsp;not including the biggest Drug Pushers and killers of all which are the pharmaceutical&amp;nbsp;companies?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;All children need is a little prayer that has been “removed” from the schools! &lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;(and maybe a gentle herbal remedy now and then in some cases.) They of course need a loving family, but if they don’t have a loving family, prayer from someone that knows them is all they need! I have seen it work time and time again! Quit being weenies, Christians! It’s time for war!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;From the birth process to the chemical barage to the antibacterial environments, sedintary lifestyles, television consuming behaviors and nutritionally deficient diets is it any wonder we have so many issues that young people must face.&amp;nbsp; To throw medication/drugs at these problems is so incongruent to anything intelligent.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Instead of trying to find out everything there is to know about disease and try to prevent it would it not seem simpler to identify what are the basic requirements for a healthy human and work towards creating health?&amp;nbsp; Our current paradigm is not only not working statistically it is killing us.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
