Question
QUESTION: Why does long term use of Ritalin pull my eye and neck muscles. It also causes terrible pain behind the eye and guess what? I am now addicted to it after using it for 20 years. who is to blame for this SHIT!!!!

ANSWER: Hello.  I am not a medical person so do not know why Ritalin pulls your eye and neck muscles. I am doing my best to educate people about the dangers of Ritalin, the addiction, etc. The whole field of Psychiatry is geared now to medicate symptoms with more and more drugs. More and more natural personality trait patterns that are useful gifts to individuals and also natural reactions to life's challenges and problems are being diagnosed as "disorders." Doctors get kick backs from drug companies and drug companies are pushing more and more drugs as answers to people's problems to make profits.

No drug cures anything. Drugs treat symptoms. Sometimes drugs are wonderful for temporary use to help with pain or life-threatening symptoms but should never be used as the whole and permanent solution to problems, in my opinion.

Ritalin and similar drugs are used to make it easier on teachers and schools to help children who are not built to sit all day and who are built with brains that actually function better while moving around, or have other personality traits that make it difficult to learn under the present school system. It is laziness on the part of the community, parents, and schools because it is easier to drug kids than design a school system that works with all children so they can learn without drugs.

Parents have been highly influenced by the whole psychiatry/drug industry to allow their children to be medicated when that is not what is needed at all.

I feel badly you have been subject to this barbaric system. I suggest that you get on a very intensive nutritional program. Long term use of this drug has probably caused some nutritional deficiencies and this might help. I then suggest you get the book, The Healing Code, by Alex Lloyd and read it and do the healing exercises in it, if you are open to some fantastic energy healing. I firmly believe you can heal and get off this drug by healing the addiction.

I wish I had my book out that shows you how to work with your personality traits. If I knew all your original so-called symptoms that led you to having to take Ritalin I could help you understand the gift of your traits and get your traits to work for you rather than against you. All our traits are both our challenges and our gifts. For example: Low concentration, which is listed as one of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD is actually a gift of being able to multi-task, because your brain changes focus quickly and so you can quickly scan and keep track of a large number of people or things at one time.

I am sure you have other traits that could be determined and shown to you in how to work with them. If I had some good photos of you, with straight front and both side shots with your hair slicked back close to your head I could tell you some of the traits, and also by asking questions as to your behavior tendencies. That is what I do as a Personality Consultant. Help people understand their traits and change the trait energy from negative expression to positive.

I do wish you well and hope you find relief and solution. Then I hope you send people to my website for more education as to personality traits. It is www.personalityconsultant.com.  I have to update the phone numbers there but can be contacted through the website with email.

Bless you,

QUESTION: I suggest you feel what its like to suffer from depression and be offered a carrot!

Answer
Dear Peter,

What can I do? You live thousands of miles away. I cannot sue the doctors that prescribed medication for you but maybe you can. I am not a doctor. A doctor would probably prescribe more medication to treat the side affects, which would give you temporary relief, and then there would be side affects that would require more medication until you might become like my friend who is on several medications and addicted so bad that it has made her problems worse. I can only suggest you pursue alternative ways of handling your health. I can't fix your brain or your eye muscles. I can't fix your depression. I have offered solutions but you seem to want some magical formula that I can give you to make all your troubles go away. The Healing Code has helped many, many people with depression and physical illnesses so buy it and put the codes to work. I am sorry that you want me to wave a magic wand and take care of you but your life and your health is your responsibility. I can show you tools but if you think they are useless and only a "carrot" then you are not ready to take responsibility for your own life and your own health and you are not ready to heal, so go ahead and go to a doctor and get more medication or just keep complaining about your life and do nothing. Your choice. I suffered black depression for years and I worked on my traits and took nutritional supplements to help my condition. That is why I told you I had compassion for you and I do hope that you take advantage of the "carrot" I have offered because it has helped many with depression. If you want to stay in your "shit" then do so.
