I've been doing emergency nursing for 35 years. Almost no child was on stimulant drugs for ADD/ADHD nor SSRI/SNRI drugs for anxiety or depression 35 years ago. It was unheard of. I'd estimate that at least 35% of the children we see in the ER are on a variety of those medications. It makes me nearly weep with frustration.
So many factors. Vaccines, glyphosate, moms on antidepressants (and other pharmas), hormones in animal products. All these curves are in exponential alignment increasing since 1986, including the autism curve.
Additionally Joseph Biederman, in the 80's, took a lot of money from pharma to promote ADHD and "childhood bipolar disorder" (funny how those overlapped, you put a kid on speed, they might get manic!) He increased the diag-nonsense at least 10fold, and started the exponential trend. He died a wealthy man.
I was going to comment that - I'm not a medical professional, just a human who has been on the planet for 6 decades. Growing up, I went to 13 schools (folks moved a lot) so got exposed to a wide array of different types of kids & neighbourhoods. In my 12 years of schooling, there was one. One kid, who was on some kind of speed.
Now, it seems like every other child is on the spectrum, struggles with "ADHD" (even the homeschooled ones!)...
Bruce Lipton says, when the culture goes bad, look to the medium. It's the environment, stupid! We have raised our children in daycare and without a community of Aunties and Uncles. It takes a village... (and our villages are pretty shattered)
Dr. Gaty, some very good work here. That said I strongly encourage you to read "Dissolving Illusions" by Dr. Suzanne Humphries. I just read your article about vaccine related polio infections. Dr. Humphries presents compelling evidence that the so called vaccine success story starting with smallpox variolations in the 1790's is a myth promoted by Big Pharma and their cronies in government. Infectious diseases were on the decline long before widespread distribution of or the introduction of vaccines. Major improvements in public hygiene that started in the U.K. in the early to mid 1800's and improved working conditions and later restrictions on dangerous child labor in toxic environments drove down the rates of all of these diseases. Living conditions improved and so did immune systems. 14 year old boys working long hours in coal mines and young girls working in chemical/pharmaceutical factories obviously were at high risk from all infectious diseases due to their immune and respiratory systems being under constant assault. We must move away from our obsession and reliance on vaccines and drugs and toward reducing our toxic burden and nurturing our immune systems. Please read this book.
I also encourage you to read "Master Manipulator" by James Ottar Grundvig. Grundvig proves the link between the in autism/neurodevelopmental disorders and childhood vaccines and the blatant cover up by the CDC. As far as the mRNA shots go, they are experimental lab rat poisons. Again, you are doing great work but check out these books.
I took my 9yr old son to a new dr for his physical since our previous practice was very pro-shot. My son is 90s% height and weight and can do push-ups till the cows come home—this kid is an ox. “Robust” is how the dr described him. Anyway, we got through the whole visit without taking about covid, until the very end, when dr said “Is he triple-vaccinated?” I said with a smile, “He is zero vaccinated.” The dr looked a little taken aback and said “We’ll, can we offer it to you today?” I said no thank you, and he mumbled something about new variants coming and vaccinated people doing very well with the virus and I said “We’re good, thanks.” End of visit. Not as bad as I had feared, but I was disappointed that he’d brought it up at all.
My first clue was the hep B series starting at birth, rather than 3-4 months like my oldest. A public health policy designed to reach “at risk” populations rather than the benefit of infants whose mothers (excuse me birthing persons) had every prenatal test imagineable. Have been watching closely since I caught on to this and was not shocked whatsoever by the Covid vaccine issues.
Typo in previous post! Grundvig proves the link between the explosion in autism/neurodevelopmental disorders and childhood vaccines with adjuvants such as aluminum and mercury derivatives/thimerosal and the blatant cover up by the CDC.
My youngest nephew was 'diagnosed' with ADHD an put on these drugs. He was later diagnosed with an aural processing problems and with time and patient help learning has turned out fine. But things got very dicey during his teen years when he started using marijuana it was the only way he could sleep because of the ADHD drugs. My sister and brother in law eventually took him off everything. Hard lessons learned.
That’s very interesting. We are American and live in Germany and I had suspected my son had ADHD for years. At age 7 the German neuropsychiatrist evaluated him. To even be eligible for evaluation we had to have completed a year of therapy (which we had) and submitted case histories from parents and teachers. Then once it was reviewed he was offered an evaluation and he had to undergo evaluation for auditory and visual processing, objective impulsivity and activity evaluation, sports medicine/coordination eval, EEG and exam by a pediatric neurologist, IQ testing and a variety of blood work to rule out other nutritional or physiological issues. That was just to be eligible for medication but it wasn’t the first suggestion. When it came to medication, he was given a dose then retested on several items. All of the options were brought to the table and discussed and if medication was opted for, it’s for up to a year then requires re evaluation. I’m very grateful but very sad that would never have happened in the US.
Thank you for the fascinating comment! Yes, that is the way an evaluation is supposed to happen, rarely if ever though is it done like that in the States. I’m sure there are complex reasons why, but I suspect a big part of it simply boils down to the power of the pharmaceutical industry here.

What do you think caused the explosion in ADHD?

I've wondered how hard it is to refuse that Hep-B when you've just given birth, doctors rushing around . . .
It’s very tough for some, especially young parents.

What is your take on the autism 'epidemic'?
That’s very interesting. We are American and live in Germany and I had suspected my son had ADHD for years. At age 7 the German neuropsychiatrist evaluated him.
