That doesen't mean that it isn't real. I think the problem is that we're making drugs and prescribing them to (children) before we really even understand the problem. We have theories, but thats about it.

How do you explain that a speed-like substance has a calming effect on the individuals that supposedly have this chemical imbalance or whatever it is caused from?

It is obvious that we are looking in the right direction, even if we don't see the forest for the trees.

You're the one that has been brainwashed into thinking so incredibly narrow mindedly.


But Eli,

We agree. Whats the problem here? We need to put and end to the psyciatric industry altogether. The brainwashing stops here!![/quote]That is where we disagree. There is no "one size fits all". ADD diagnosis and drugs are not the answer for everyone, just as "hugs" are not the answer for everyone.

We need the psychiatric industry to provide a middle ground. We will learn from our mistakes.

None of this has anything to do with your religious inuendo.[/quote]


Im afraid we are just going to have to agree to disagree.

Is that the best flame you have? I mean, gee, I have never seen someone that has such weak insults and retorts. Whatever makes you feel better about being stupid, I guess.

This is not for you to consider, for I am a Super Genius. Take my word for it.

lmao! How did I know even before looking?

The 'holistic' medicine industry, which has not a single success story in written history of being able to treat any illness, cure any disease, or even marginally advance the narrowest specter of medical science.

These fools have not even managed to accidentally 'stumbled' over any beneficial or productive discoveries for crying out loud. No matter how miserably incompetent one is, the laws of pure dumb chance dictate you have to get something right in spite of yourself once and a great while. These imbeciles can't even claim that! lol!

That's not true. To say that holistic medicine has not a single success story is taking the opposite extreme stance that Felix is.

Each view is equally preposterous.

There are many things left unexplained in the medical world. It's not like we know everything.

People need to stop being so one sided, open up your minds and realize there is a side to everything.

The 'holistic' medicine industry, which has several success stories written in history of being able to treat almost every illness can advance medical science.

These people have managed to uncover beneficial and productive discoveries for medical science.

Each view is equally preposterous.
The holistic medicine imbeciles cannot claim a single success story, not one. Not even a near-success story.

Care to name any? Just one off the top of your head. tick tock

Look TCS - me, Eli and Millennium are best buds and we are going to clean your clock with so much proof it will make your head spin. I have asked them to refrain from doing so at this time.

LOL...yes, let's put an end to the psychiatric industry, although millions of people in this country, and posters on ATOT, are suffering from mental illnesses. Please STFU.

You are the one discounting it. The burden of proof is on you. You cannot prove that holstic medicine is a crock of sh!t anymore than I can prove western medicine is a crock of sh!t. Not that I would want to. I'm just trying to point out the extremity of your views.

The world of natural medicine is a broad field. You cannot discount it in one fell swoop. Remember, most of our medicines come from the natural world.
