Re: Re: help or advice needed

Before anyone considers putting their child on any type of drug, I

encourage you to read the following. My brother is among the top in

the world in MRI.... there is a great deal out there that doctors

" pretend to know " but, really, we know very very little about the human

brain and how it functions. I'm not saying that medications are not

necessary at times, but, I do hope that parents will be informed about

some of the information I put on my web site regarding many of the so

called " brain studies " out there! Make sure you understand the

variables you are not told in these " studies " ... at times, it is what

you aren't told that may matter most! Drug companies have a lot at

stake in convincing parents they have all the answers (or even a lot of

them) when it comes to the brain. Be informed...and know what

questions to ask when the first thing out of a neurologists mouth is

" well, we could put him/her on medication " .... this link should give you

a good " starting point " for some of the issues you need to be aware of

as they relate to the brain!
