BOB MOYLAN was thinking about Sugar and keyed into cyberspace:
BM>Jane Kelley On (13 Dec 96) was overheard to say to Mark Probert
BM> JK> MP>This is also recommended by Hallowell and Ratey, as well as
BM> JK> Barkley. You MP>know who they are?
BM> JK> Nope.  Lots of folks I don't know about.
BM> You admit your ignorance then regarding ADD/ADHD but still insist on
BM> attempting to tell others all about it, what causes it and injecting
BM> your experience with alcoholism.  No relationship Jane, none, zero,
BM> zip.
Sometimes it is easy to show haw ignorant someone is. Actually, I felt a 
little guilty about getting her on that one. I guess I have a soft heart 
for the reality challenged.
BM> JK> On the other hand, you go find out for yourself since I have
BM> JK> seen a couple of other posts on this today.  The information
BM> JK> necessary ought to be fairly close at hand, say in a health food
BM> JK> store? 
BM> There is a health food chain in this area calling themselves "Health
BM> Quest" who ran for 2 days a radio commercial touting their products
BM> as being acceptable alternatives for "severe stimulants", "dangerous
BM> drugs" and parents could "stop giving their children ritalin".  I
BM> actually went to one of these stores, presented myself as a parent
BM> with a child who has ADHD and got the full sales pitch, believe me
BM> that's all it was, a sales pitch.  They didn't have one, not a
BM>single  piece of evidence that stated their products would have any
BM>effect on  anyone with ADD or ADHD.  Nutritional supplements is what
BM>they are  selling that's all.  Over the counter vitamins are just as
BM>effective  and a whole lot cheaper.  Don't push health food stores to
BM>me.  Oh by  the way I also complained about the content of the
BM>commercial to the  radio station playing it and to the local office
BM>of the FCC.  Perhaps  that's why that commercial only ran for 2
BM>days...whatch think  Jane..were they making patently and provable
BM>false claims? 
And they were violating the FDA rules, regs and law.
