Das indoktrinierte Gehirn präsentiert einen weitgehend unbekannten, wirkmächtigen neurobiologischen Mechanismus, dessen meist unbemerkte, aber mannigfache Störung diesen katastrophalen Entwicklungen zugrunde liegt.

Deaths resulting from interactions with the US criminal legal system are a public health emergency, but the scope of this issue is intentionally ignored by the very systems that are supposed to be tracking these fatalities.

ADHD may be the defining diagnosis of our time. According to the latest data, more than 10 percent of American children (that’s 7.1 million kids) have been diagnosed with ADHD.
