Why those boys have ADD - it's a long read but a fascinating one....

rollingstone.com.


That it is. Its hard to believe the CDC which has a reputation for being so stodgy and careful about approving medications could have let this go on. Its also be noted that premature births have increased dramatically in the past 20 years. I wonder if there is any correlation to mercury.

One of the things I noticed about the boys who are diagnosed with ADHD is that they hyperventilate like mad. This one kid could not stop yawning. Hyperventilation is a sign that the body's physiology is not working properly. I don't think the problem with these boys is mental but physiological. I just don't understand why the girls are not effected in the same way.

Thanks for the article.
