combination of all. Symptoms include failing to give close attention to detail or making careless mistakes in
school work, difficulty keeping attention during tasks or play, not listening when spoken to directly, difficulty
following through with instruction, easily distracted and difficulty staying in one place. All of these symptoms
are perfectly normal given the environment we have created around ourselves.
ADHD is considered to be the most common neuropsychiatric disorder of childhood with a rate of 7-9 percent.
Many published articles in credible scientific and medical journals have released information connecting ADHD
to a dopamine deficit in the brain. Can we really trust this medical research? The same families
and corporations that fund the American Medical Association (AMA) and its research are directly linked to the
pharmaceutical industry. A multi-trillion dollar incentive to distort information and persuade professional
perception through academia has always existed.
The dopaminergic hypothesis of ADHD is just a theory. We take it so seriously despite very weak evidence that
supports it. It suggests that there is a dopamine deficit in the brain of the diagnosed child or adult. It is a well
known fact within the medical community that genetic, neurochemical, pharmacological and imaging data are
very weak and hold little credence when determining chemical deficits in the brain. Unfortunately the dopamine
deficit theory of ADHD is so strong that there is no funding available to study other possibilities.
We understand very little about our brains, humanity can be easily persuaded by what is considered to be
credible literature. Often, the ones developing the literature are aware of their clever tactics of persuasion.
Dopamine is a chemical that plays a major role in the brain system that is responsible for reward driven
learning. Lets take on the dopaminergic hypothesis of ADHD and examine it closer, lets assume the hypothesis
holds true.
Cocaine, other drugs, and even nondrug addictions such as RUNNING make the pleasuregiving neurotransmitter dopamine more active in the brain. Dopamine is called the reward
transmitter, because when we accomplish somethingrun a race and winour brain triggers
its release. Though exhausted, we get a surge of energy, exciting pleasure, and confidence
and even raise our hands and run a victory lap. The losers, on the other hand, who get no
such dopamine surge, immediately run out of energy, collapse at the finish line, and feel awful
about themselves. By hijacking ourdopamine system, addictive substances give us pleasure
without our having to work for it Dr Norman Doige, Neuroplasticity Expert

If reward, the feeling of accomplishment, and feeling good both trigger dopamine release, we have to pay
attention to the environment that surrounds human beings. If the environment is not stimulating enough, if it is
not challenging and provides no feeling of accomplishment then there will be no dopamine release. Its not the
dopamine release that triggers emotions and feelings within somebody, its the feelings and emotion that make
up a human beings perception that operate how our brains work and the chemical flows within them. Yes, a non
physical organ is sending messages and signals to the heart, which in turn influences how our brains work aswell. Research is beginning to show how the heart plays an extraordinary role in our lives far beyond what is
commonly known. The heart has a system of neurons that have both short term and long term memory, and
their signals sent to the brain can effect our emotional experiences.
Any child who spends 18 years in a school setting 6 hours a day might have this problem, our education does
not push creativity and imagination but rather obedience and feelings of boredom. Even if the dopaminergetic
hypothesis of ADHD does exist, it has nothing to do with our brains and the lack of activity within them, it has to
do with our emotions, feelings and perception of the environment around us. Medical Associations and
Pharmaceutical companies have no reason to medicate, even if they say a deficit exists, the environment the
child finds themselves in must be questioned or altered. Medication is not needed and has little to no benefit.
ADHD is a label that has been classified under the definition of neuropsychiatric disorder which in turn
manipulates the consciousness of the population by giving their minds justification for medication. We have
been misled, medication and labels like ADHD are used to make individuals who do not fit within the system
conform and be more obedient. Check out our feelings on education and medical labels from a clip taken from
our first documentary, the collective evolution part 1:
TRADUCCIN
Si esta recompensa, esta sensacin de logro y de bienestar son generadas por la liberacin de
dopamina, tenemos que prestar atencin al entorno que rodea a los nios. Si el ambiente no
estimula lo suficiente, si no es un reto y no proporciona ninguna sensacin de logro, entonces
no habr liberacin de dopamina. No es la liberacin de dopamina que desencadena
emociones y sentimientos dentro de alguien; son precisamente los sentimientos y emociones
que componen la percepcin de las personas las que operan en el funcionamiento qumico de
nuestro cerebro. Es el corazn el rgano que enva los mensajes y seales al cerebro y el que, a
su vez, influye en cmo el cerebro funciona. Las investigaciones est empezando a demostrar
cmo el corazn juega un papel extraordinario en nuestras vidas mucho ms all de lo que
comnmente se conoca. El corazn tiene un sistema de neuronas que funcionan tanto a corto
plazo como otras que lo hacen con una memoria a largo plazo, y las seales enviadas al
cerebro puede afectar a nuestras experiencias emocionales.
Cualquier nio que se pasa 18 aos en una escuela sentado 6 horas al da puede tener este
problema, nuestra educacin no empuja la creatividad y la imaginacin, sino la obediencia y la
sensacin de aburrimiento. Incluso si la hiptesis dopaminergtica del TDAH no existe, no tiene
nada que ver con el cerebro y la falta de actividad dentro de ellos, tiene que ver con nuestras
emociones, sentimientos y percepcin del entorno que nos rodea. Las asociaciones mdicas y
compaas farmacuticas no tienen ninguna razn para medicar, incluso si dicen que existe un
dficit. Es el entorno del nio el que debe ser cuestionado y modificado. Los medicamentos no se
hacen necesarios y tienen poco o ningn beneficio. Adems, los efectos secundarios estn
siempre presentes.
El TDAH es una etiqueta con que se ha clasificado la definicin de trastorno neuropsiquitrico,
que a su vez manipula la conciencia de la poblacin para justificar y legitimar la medicacin (que
proporciona trillones de euros a la industria farmacutica). Hemos sido engaados con
medicamentos y etiquetas como el TDAH, que se utilizan para hacer que los individuos que no
encajan dentro del sistema se conformen y sean ms obedientes.
