The Drugging of Our Children (MUST SEE)
In the absence of any objective medical tests to determine who has ADD or ADHD, doctors rely in part on standardized assessments and the impressions of teachers and guardians while the they administer leave little room for other causes or aggravating factors, such as diet, or environment. Hence, diagnosing a child or adolescent with ADD or ADHD is often the outcome, although no organic basis for either disease has yet to be clinically proven. Psychiatrists may then prescribe psychotropic drugs for the children without first without making it clear to parents that these medications can have severe side-effects including insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, psychotic symptoms and even potentially fatal adverse reactions, such as cardiac arrhythmia.

Big Bucks, Big Pharma
Marketing Disease & Pushing Drugs
Big Bucks, Big Pharma
pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical
industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated,
and in some instances created, for capital gain. Focusing on the
industry's marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals
help viewers understand the ways in which direct-to-consumer (DTC)
pharmaceutical advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of
prescription medication, and works in tandem with promotion to doctors.
Combined, these industry practices shape how both patients and doctors
understand and relate to disease and treatment. Ultimately, Big
Bucks, Big Pharma challenges us to ask important questions about
the consequences of relying on a
for-profit industry for our health and well-being.
