The Man Who Discovered ADHD Makes a Startling Revelation

“ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.” These were the words of Leon Eisenberg, the “scientific father of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder),” in his last interview he gave before his death at age 87 in 2009.

(While some have described Dr. Eisenberg’s statement as an “exaggeration,” many doctors are coming to the belated conclusion that ADHD is often “over diagnosed” by the use of “fuzzy diagnostic practices.” Harvard psychologist Jerome Kagan, who is one of the world’s leading experts in child development, states:

“Let’s go back 50 years. We have a 7-year-old child who is bored in school and disrupts classes. Back then, he was called lazy. Today, he is said to suffer from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). . . . Every child who’s not doing well in school is sent to see a pediatrician, and the pediatrician says: “It’s ADHD; here’s Ritalin.” In fact, 90 percent of these 5.4 million kids don’t have an abnormal dopamine metabolism. The problem is, if a drug is available to doctors, they’ll make the corresponding diagnosis.)

Eisenberg made a luxurious living off of his “fictitious disease,” thanks to pharmaceutical sales. Coincidentally, he received the “Ruane Prize for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Research. He has been a leader in child psychiatry for more than 40 years through his work in pharmacological trials, research, teaching, and social policy and for his theories of autism and social medicine,” according to Psychiatric News.

Yes, it was even admitted that they are his THEORIES. The medical industry is using the guise of helping children to depersonalize and disconnect our children from a healthy, normal upbringing. Parents are placing their children on these drugs and subjecting them to what the world has to offer, when in fact all these children are looking for is their parents in hopes of being the blessing that God intended them to be.

In the United States, 1 out of 10 boys among 10-year-olds takes medication for ADHD on a daily basis . . . with increasing tendency.

American psychologist Lisa Cosgrove and others reveal the facts in their study “Financial Ties between DSM-IV Panel Members and the Pharmaceutical Industry.” They found that “of the 170 DSM panel members 95 (56 percent) had one or more financial associations with companies in the pharmaceutical industry. One hundred percent of the members of the panels on ‘Mood Disorders’ and ‘Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders’ had financial ties to drug companies.”

And they are reaping major benefits from this “fictitious disease.” For example, the assistant director of the Pediatric Psychopharmacology Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School received “$1 million in earnings from drug companies between 2000 and 2007.”

Marc-André Gagnon and Joel Lexchin, a long-time researcher of pharmaceutical promotion, performed a study which shows that the U.S. pharmaceutical industry spent 24.4 percent of the sales dollar on promotion, versus 13.4 percent for research and development in 2004. That is almost twice as much money to push their drugs on people than the amount to research to make sure it they’re safe!

This raises the following question: Are they safe?

Read the antidepressant black-box warning for yourselves, and you will be alarmed by the side effects listed on the inserts:

– Confusion

– Depersonalization

– Hostility

– Hallucinations

– Manic reactions

– Suicidal ideation

– Loss of consciousness

– Delusions

– Feeling drunk

– Alcohol abuse

– Homicidal ideation

Why would parents subject their children to drugs with such noted dangerous side effects?

Dr. Edward C. Hamlyn, a founding member of the Royal College of General Practitioners, in 1998 stated, “ADHD is fraud intended to justify starting children on a life of drug addiction.”

What God Considers an Earnest Prayer

A powerful prayer doesn’t have to be long, difficult or prayed in a certain posture. It can just be a simple declaration made in faith. The Bible records that Elijah, one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, prayed an “earnest” prayer to God. Would you like to see how this earnest prayer was nothing more than a simple declaration?

James 5:17 tells us “Elijah… prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.” Let’s go to the actual account of what happened in 1 Kings 17:1 – “And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, ‘As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.”

Isn’t that amazing? All Elijah did was to declare by faith that it would not rain in Israel, and God considered it an earnest prayer! He honored Elijah’s declaration and there was no rain for three-and-a-half years.

After that, James 5:18 tells us that Elijah “prayed again and the heaven gave rain.” The word “earnestly” is not used. So let’s see how Elijah prayed this time. In 1 Kings 18:42-44, it tells us that Elijah went to the top of Carmel where he “bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees.” Then he sent his servant to see if there were any clouds in the sky. He did this (put his face between his knees) seven times before he got any results – “a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea.”

Now, man would consider Elijah’s second prayer to be more earnest than his first, but God thinks of it as simply “prayer”. So God considers prayers where you declare by faith what you want to see earnest prayers. To Him, these short simple prayers are intense, powerful prayers!

Please don’t misunderstand me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with long prayers, or assuming a posture for prayer. Jesus Himself was known to go away from His disciples for periods of prayer. In the garden of Gethsemane, He fell on His face in agony as He prayed. There is a place for long prayers when your heart is trouble and you just want to pour out all your hurts to the Lord, or when you just want to be in His presence and tell Him about your day.

But don’t ever think that you must pray long or hard prayers to get God to hear you and to convince Him to move on your behalf. In fact, while you see Jesus coming against the Pharisees for praying long pretentious prayers (to be seen and heard by other men), nowhere in the Gospels do you ever see Him coming against short prayers.

Jesus’s Blood Qualifies You

Doesn’t Elijah’s example encourage you? He just made a simple declaration and it was a powerful, effective prayer.

But Pastor Prince, you’re talking about Elijah! He was an amazing prophet of God, always full of faith. No wonder even a simple declaration produced results. How can I compare?

My friend, the bible tells us that Elijah was a man “subject to like passions as we are.” (James 5:17, KJV) Isn’t that so reassuring? Do you get angry? So did Elijah! Do you get fearful or depressed? So did he! Are you in faith one moment and in doubt the next? So was Elijah!

After his overwhelming victory over the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, Elijah went on to call forth rain for the whole land of Israel, ending three-and-a-half years of parched lands and hardship for the people. You would think he was a man of unshakable faith. But when he heard that Jezebel, the wicked queen who supported the prophets of Baal against God, wanted to kill him, he ran for his life! This man of God actually ran and hid in the wilderness and even “prayed that he might die”. 91 Kings 19:4) He was cowardly and suicidal. It was a good thing that God didn’t take Elijah seriously then and consider that prayer an earnest prayer!

So don’t be discouraged and don’t disqualify yourself. Don’t ever think that you’re any less of a man (or woman) than any hero in the Bible when it comes to praying and receiving from God. Jesus has qualified you with His blood to pray powerful prayers and to receive God’s powerful help and abundant supply. So just pray, knowing that it is He who has given you the authority. With Him backing you up, all things are possible. Simply believe in your heart that what you pray for or declare will happen, and it will. (Mark 11:23-24)

Use Your God-Give Authority

At the Red Sea, when Pharaoh’s army was closing in on the Israelite, Moses cried to God for deliverance. Do you know what God said to him? “Why do you cry to Me? … lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it…” (Exodus 14:15-16) The rod here is a picture of the authority that God had already given to Moses. As far as God was concerned, Moses already had all the authority he needed. Moses only had to step up and take charge.

Imagine with me for a moment a highway patrolman responding to an accident scene. He sees long-haul trucks, buses and cars in disarray. Horns are blaring and people are shouting and screaming. There’s confusion everywhere and… he whips out his cell phone and calls his captain, “Excuse me, sire we have an accident here on the highway. What should I do?” What do you think his captain will say? “Use your authority and settle things!”

And when he does, when he steps up and takes charge, he’ll find that the long-haul trucks and the buses may be many times bigger than he is, but they will have to move when he tells them to. Why? Because the highway patrolman has been given the authority by the state to manage such situations.

Similarly, God in His grace and love has already given us believers the authority to take charge and speak in the name of Jesus. So lift up the name of Jesus by commanding the problem you are facing to leave. It could be sickness in your body or the body of a loved one. Maybe a spirit of strife is souring relationships in your family or workplace. Or you need the weather to clear up on your coming wedding day, or on the day you’ve promised to take the kids to the zoo. Whatever the need, step up, take charge and pray. And see how faithful the Lord is when you boldly ask in His name! (John 14:13-14, Philippians 2:10).

What Having True Abundance Is

“True abundance is having all you need to do your life’s work – the tools, resources, and living environment – and to live a life filled with joy and aliveness. Abundance is not an extravagant, glamorous style of living maintained purely to impress others or one that does not support your true aliveness and life’s work.”

“When you have the right amount of money and money works in your life, people will learn about abundance from your example.”

“If you want to contribute to planetary peace, you can start by believing in abundance for yourself and others. As society begins to believe that there can be abundance for everyone, new discoveries will be made that will provide unlimited energy and resources that do not pollute or deplete the earth, and there will be fewer reasons for war.”

“The people who are clearest about money are not usually those who have large sums of money, or those who have none, but those who have just the right amount for them. People who have just the right amount are not burdened by too many who have just the right amount are not burdened by too many possessions; their possessions serve them. They do not spend time and energy that would be best spent creating their life’s work to acquire or take care of material things.”

“Think about being rich as having enough wealth to carry out your life’s work. You may not need many material possessions to have enough. For instance, your life purpose may be to work with nature. You may live in a log cabin, spend little money, and still have all the natural resources you need to carry out your purpose. In that case, you would be rich. What is important is having enough money to do the work you came to do, and not having so much that it keeps you from the work you came to do.”

“Some people may need many material things to accomplish their life purpose. They may need to work with a group of people who will only listen to and respect them if they have an appearance of wealth and power.

Material possessions may provide some with a spiritual experience, teaching them what they need to learn in this lifetime, just as not having money may be a great teacher for others. Some people gain great freedom and growth from having money; some people gain freedom and growth from not having money.

How much money people need is an individual matter; do not judge others for what they have or do not have.

It is good to measure people’s success not by how much money they make or have, but by the degree to which they are fulfilling their life purpose, are happy about their lives, have the right amount of money, and believe in themselves.”
