"As a practicing pediatrician, I have been using Dr. Stein's book Ritalin is Not the Answer as an alternative to medication, and I have achieved great success with parents who prefer a non-medication approach.... Once you see results, as I have, your views on ADD/ADHD will inevitably begin to change."
—DuBose Ravenel, M.D., Cornerstone Pediatrics, Highpoint, North Carolina
"Shows Ritalin, a drug commonly used to treat ADHD in millions of young children, to be a dangerously addictive drug.... Anyone who acts as a caregiver for elementary-aged children diagnosed with ADHD should consider this perspective."
