Lymies attacking ADHD??????

September 24, 2000

Whoa! Did I miss something here? ADHD has been proven to exist using CAT

scans as well as by using very sophisticated testing methods. My children

and I have ADHD and believe me it does exist and it exists all by itself,

standing proudly on its own 2 feet with no help from Lyme disease. First of

all, I have noticed that people with Lyme disease are inclined to attribute

their illness to other peoples' illness...not everyone has Lyme disease,

folks! I am so fed up with people who are completely ignorant re. ADHD who

for some reason have chosen to target it as the bogey disease created by

bogeymen. Get educated - there is plenty of medical litterature out there.

Otherwise, use your energy to help starving children or homeless people - be

useful, not destructive. There is absolutely no proof that ADHD was

" invented " and CHADD is a very respectable organisation. Why on earth would

Lyme victims want to join in on the attack against CHADD? This posting is so

unbelievably bizarre...where did this come from??
