[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Debra, thanks for sending this. Today on CNN (I believe) there were
representations that bipolar disorder is an actual diseases. We hear such
representations dail from psychiatry--actually the psych-pharma-government
cartel...none of it is science or anything seriously resembling science, it
is the big lie, a continual snow job meant to make patients of normal and
sell chemical balancers--drugs. They have the public decieved...snowed, and
drugged, to the gills. Fred Baughman, MD see remarks within]
Hyperactivity disorder tied to brain irregularities
Monday, November 29, 2004 Posted: 12:38 PM EST (1738 GMT)
CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) -- Brain scans of children with
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder show abnormalities in the fiber
pathways along which brain signals pass, scientists said Monday.
The finding indicates the disorder may be more than just a chemical
imbalance [Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
never proved to be a chemical or any other kind of
physical abnormality]
they added.
Using an imaging technique called diffusion tensor imaging, researchers
found subtle anatomical differences in children diagnosed with ADHD
[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
were they ADHD-treated/drugged?]
that may
affect communication between key areas of the brain -- the frontal cortex,
basal ganglia, brain stem and cerebellum.
"These areas are involved in the process that regulate attention,
impulsive behavior, motor activity and inhibition -- the key symptoms in
ADHD children," said lead researcher Manzar Ashtari, an associate professor of
radiology and psychiatry at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System
in New Hyde Park, New York.
In another study, Ashtari found the brain irregularities diminished in
children who had been medicated with stimulant drugs for an average of 2
1/2 years.
"The findings ... indicate that the therapeutic effect of stimulants may
involve a brain normalization process," [Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
with no proof, ever, of a
brain abnormality, how might stimulants involve a brain normalization
process]
said co-researcher Sanjiv Kumra, a
psychiatrist at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, New York.
"Typically, ADHD is described as a chemical imbalance, but our research has
shown that there may also be subtle anatomical differences in areas of the
brain that are important in this disorder," Kumra said. [Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
don't
forget, their research has
shown that there may also be subtle anatomical differences... that there
may be]
Between 3 percent and 5 percent of American children are
diagnosed with
ADHD. Millions take stimulants to counteract the behavior, which can be
disruptive both at home and in school and can lead to problems later in
life.
The research was presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological
Society of North America. [Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
As science and research, this is fraud. We
have known all along that all of biological psychiatry is fraud, here we
find US radiology in collusion with the fraud of representing psychiatric
disorders/diagnoses, as actual diseases. ]
