Because these medical conditions can cause some or all of ADHD’s symptoms, it becomes next to impossible for any teacher, principal, or family doctor to claim with any certainty that a child has ADHD. To be certain, a doctor would have to test child for all these other possible medical conditions. Since parents or doctors rarely do this, every diagnosis of ADHD is suspect, to say least.

Any of these medical conditions, normal personality variations, emotional problems, or outside-the-classroom stress-factors can disturb a child’s attention, natural enthusiasm, or desire to learn in class, and make child exhibit symptoms of ADHD. Yet, as psychiatrist Peter R. Breggin, author of "Talking Back To Ritalin," and director of International Center for Study of Psychiatry and Psychology, notes, “These are types of [normal] children who get diagnosed as suffering ADHD and who get subdued with stimulants and other medications.”

Many reputable authorities, such as Dr. Breggin, deny that ADHD, disorder for which Ritalin is most commonly prescribed, even exists. Researchers have found no valid physical evidence of disease or laboratory medical tests to prove it exists.

Parents, do not fall for ADHD propaganda that public school authorities are now attempting to force on you and your children. ADHD turns out to be a bogus disease. Many public schools now use this bogus disease as a convenient excuse to "treat" normal but bored children with mind-altering drugs. I also urge you to read Dr. Breggin's book, "Talking Back To Ritalin."

My Experience As An Adult

It took me a long time to overcome my fear of dentists. I finally found a dentist who I could talk too, and say, “Hey, this is experience I had – this is fear I have – can I trust you not to hurt me.” Well, my dentist understood my fears – and I’m happy to say that I felt that if he could calm my fears I could trust him with my young boys.

When To Take Your Children To The Dentist?

When do you take your children to dentist? Before they have any cavities or any other ugly problems. Take your children to dentist to have their teeth cleaned and looked at – let comfort level build between your child and your dentist. So when there are any problems with their teeth – they know dentist won’t hurt them.

That is what I did for my children. I set them up with my dentist before they had any problems. I did not want them to have same fears that I had. And it seemed to have worked.

If you don’t have dental insurance, look into discount dental insurance, such as DentalPlans – you can choose a plan that meets your budget – and in most cases cleanings are free. You can take a look at Dental Plans at http://www.myaffiliateplace.biz/Affiliate_mydentalwebsite.htm. And if you have dental insurance, and you have children, give them a positive experience to remember – it will make next visit to dentist an everyday occurrence, instead of a stressful visit to hell.
