A friend sent us the link to a fascinating website concerning the heavily promoted TeenScreen "mental health" screening program. The website exposes TeenScreen as a tool of the psychiatric-
pharmaceutical industry, a fishing expedition through which drug companies seek new revenue sources by falsely labeling teens as mentally Ill. These kids may simply have physical illnesses, diet-caused imbalances, or even normal teenage thoughts and behaviors. TeenScreen's questionnaire falsely labels up to 84% of
those screened as being "at risk" of suicide. It's no surprise that the kids so labeled are then prescribed mind-altering psychiatric drugs.

Kevin had personal encounters with diet-related "mental" illness as a child. One of his aunts was notoriously "unstable" and considered by many to be something of a "nut-case" due to her swings between depression and unprovoked rage. After suffering from this for a number of years, this aunt read somewhere that such suffering might be caused by hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). She had a medical test and confirmed this to be the case. A simple change in diet completely handled the problem! From then on out, she was a sweet, stable, happy  person. Had this situation occurred nowadays instead of 40 years ago, she would almost certainly have been put on one or more dangerous psych drugs often known to induce suicidal behavior!

We believe that any person, young or old, who suffers from any condition that some may label "mental" illness should first seek competent medical, nutritional and environmental testing and advice ("environmental" referring to testing for allergies, toxins in the home or office and the like). In the vast majority of cases, such factors as previously undiagnosed PHYSICAL illness,
dietary imbalances or environmental factors such as allergies may be found to be causing the "mental" problems. These factors can be then be addressed with safe, non-psychiatric methods, to the great relief of all.

Evan, who a number of years ago ran a small private school, took on some children whose parents had been being "encouraged" to put their kids on psychiatric drugs. She turned them around by getting them off sugar, with lots of affection and understanding and by using thorough, workable study methods. Something can be done about overly wild, depressed (etc.) kids without resorting to
giving them drugs.

Let us know how you like the website and feel free to share with us your views and your own experiences in these areas.

Love, Kevin & Evan
