BM> A _nasty_ drug... uh huh... and it can damage peripheral vision....
 BM> she must have access to the 97 or later edition of the PDR cause my

 BM> Think she has an agenda?
 MP> A rhetorical question? Of course she has an agenda. She has no other

 BM> I also note in what she has posted that she still hasn't indicated

 I remember Jane from the Herb_N_Stuff echo. She said she is a reg. nurse
 that has worked with AA patients and DA patients. She said she has worked
 in the health fields for many years. She also has a vendetta against any
 type of drug, especially any type of hemp. I know that is off-topic here
 but I just wanted to give you some of the backround she presented on that
 echo.
 
 MP> The USENET group on ADHD has a "Dr." who does not even receive a

 MP> "professionals" are dangerous as their stupidity can be believed by

 MP> someone  stopped their meds because of such drivel.
 
 BM> Back to the twit file she goes ... she's just to tiresome to bother

 She is not a stupid woman, just very narrow minded when it comes to drugs
 of _any_ kind. Even ones that are doctor prescribed. She feels people can
 be healed better through natural herbs. I know herbs can help but the drugs
 that are prescribed for AD(H)D are needed by most of the children. I have
 7 grandchildren that have either ADD or ADHD. They are on different meds.
