ADHD Cures

ADHD Science Disorder

Among the ADHD theories, there are some that have been widely accepted, in spite of wonky science. That some theory is accepted by “consensus science” does not imply that it is good science.

This has been amply demonstrated in the Global Warming science fraud at the University of East Anglia’s prestigious Climatic Research Unit (CRU), at the end of November 2009. This is explained in the article Playing hide and seek behind the trees. Besides “fudge factors” being placed in the CRU’s computer source code they saw that tree ring data showed the earth cooling at high latitudes after 1960, so they ignored this data from that date, and used other data (instrument data) that fitted their “theory.”

A divergence exists between measured temperatures and those derived from tree-ring study data after 1960. The existence of a divergence shows a potential serious flaw in the process by which temperatures are reconstructed from tree-ring density. This was not seen due to the scientists deliberately hiding the fact.

They even changed the database to wipe out the Medieval Warm Period beween 900 and 1300 to help emphasise the current global warming. Climate change has always been a part of our Earth’s dynamics. To reduce carbon polution is another issue which urgently needs to be addressed, but without hysteria.

Back to ADHD Theory

There is a seldom-mentioned disorder associated with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and that is the ADSD (Attention Deficit Science Disorder), which some scientists studying ADHD suffer from.

Some of the symptoms are:

• Paradigm blindness – when they are unable to accept another point of view.
• Criticism phobia – when they get arrogant and call critics unqualified.
• Careerism – when they make a career out of their personal theory.
• Conflicts of Interest – when bodies that benefit financially from their theory fund them.

The paradigm blindness can be caused by greed for financial gain and a pathological need for prestige. The result is that only one explanation fits the data results of a study, and that explanation supports the pet “theory”. There is a neurological deficit in their ADSD brains causing an inability to accept any alternative explanation. The brain cannot process any thought or concept outside their limited paradigm.

Criticism phobia is an unpleasant phenomenon when the sufferers brain blanks out and is unable to conduct a rational scientific discussion. Facts and interpretations of facts are not debated, but character assassination is used to disqualify the critic. Words such as unqualified, incompetent or ignorant are used.

Careerism and conflicts of interest tend to be driving forces in ADSD.

An inability to think critically makes us vulnerable to manipulation by academics with fancy titles who suffer from ADSD.

Serious science designs studies to test the paradigm and prevent logical fallacies, or fallacies in reasoning. Logical fallacies usually occur when explaining results that appear logical if you avoid looking from other perspectives than the ADSD sufferer’s own.

Science and maths (statistics) say specifically that correlation does not imply causality. Statistical correlation is not scientific evidence. Statistics can lie.

There are many good sincere scientists, doctors, psychologists and ADHD coaches who have their feet firmly planted on the ground and deal with the reality of ADD and ADHD on a daily basis. Among them there are many theories on ADHD. We need to look at the ADD-ADHD critically with an open mind. This is a serious subject, too serious to be entrusted in the attitudes and motives of the ADSD afflicted.
