Our Kids

Today I was thinking on the issue of so many kids having issues in school, with ADHD, autism, sensory issues, allergies, and every condition in between. In essence, having a student with issues in the school system has basically become the norm.

At first I hypothesized in my conspiratorially minded way that the parents, and teachers or administrators to an extent, may be incentivized to seek a diagnoses. In general it can be tempting to seek a medical diagnosis because it feels good to have a reason for behavioral issues. It provides us a sense of comfort to rely on the medical establishment (doctor knows best) to support us in the unknown frontier of parenting.

Then I watched a Tucker Carlson interview of a brother and sister duo with very prestigious medical credentials who have produced a book (which I cannot find for sale anywhere because I assume it has been buried by the establishment). In the interview they discuss how there is huge incentive in society to produce a culture of chronic illness (physical and mental) that can then be treated throughout a patient’s lifetime by the myriad of pharmaceuticals on the market (watched tv with ads lately?). There is literally a drug cure for Any condition from, including all the side effects caused by other pharmaceuticals.

Maybe I sound conspiratorial but take a look around. Americans are fatter, sicker and more suicidal than ever.
