Bunk. First of all the diagnosis is ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder), not ADD (not since DSM-IV). Second, there is no link b/n the
development of ADHD and TV. It is usually noticed in toddlerhood, before TV
is a factor. It is neurological condition. Runs in families. In some
communities, it is over-diagnosed and inappropriate prescriptions given.
Treated in the UK with minimal medication. Treated in North America as
medicine as the first thing. Relates to drug company advertising and
schools not wanting to spend the $ on behavioral treatments and off loading
this onto drugs and parents.

I think your Pastor Peters is not qualified to diagnose, discuss etiology or
provide a review of research.

Pastor Peter J. Peters was on WWCR 9.985 at 9:00 EST / 14:00 UTC and had
been catching up on his mail as he was discussing lots of little topics
which got mailed to him.

He sites a study and quotes a teacher concerning TV between the ages of
2 & 3 causing ADD at age 7+.

Lots of other topics of interest.

Oh, this same program (Dated 11/11/04, I believe) will be repeated on
12.160 MHz at 12:00 EST / 17:00 UTC and again at 11:00 pm (23:00) EST /
04:00 UTC.

He'll also be on the hour before this last mention, but that will be
different - sometimes LIVE. Also that one gets repeated at 04:00 EST /
09:00 UTC.

He's also on satellite 24/7 on Telstar 5. Look for SFAW, Scriptures For
America, etc. Don't know the exact name of the channel.

All this can be heard on the internet at
http://www.scripturesforamerica.org - I think.

Just thought some of you might like to know.
