Hannah! Would you also consider sending this info into the FTC or whomever else could be notified regarding the matter? I’d be so curious to see what the rest of the process looked like, and if your voice had extra weight due to your platform. A deep-dive into reporting, if you will.
Hannah, I really really love you, but please be aware that so-called "tested and proven" medicine, sold by big pharma (which is just as - if not more evil as these MLM's and their main interest is MONEY) prescribes literal AMPHETAMINES to children as old as 6 years old... ADHD medication is amazing for concentration, and I have tried both - Modafinil and a street drug called Speed, and I can confirm they feel very similar as the ingredients in them are LITERALLY the same.... my point is that regardless of how "proven" medicine is, doesn't mean that they are safe or even effective... If you know "paradoxical reaction", when antidepressants can cause violent and suicidal thoughts, anxiety pills can cause anxiety and so on... its also a massive scam. It just breaks my heart seeing you praise drugs and medical professionals whose knowledge is very vague and so limited.. either way, big fan, again LOVE you and wish you al the best
As a person that wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was an adult, I really resent parents that decide not to treat their child because the parent doesn't like medicine. I suffered a lot as a child. I got in trouble for talking too much or daydreaming in class. I was always having a hard time focusing on work in class and at home, and worse of all, just about every time I was punished at home, it was based on something I said. I had no impulse control and would blurt out things that people didn't need to know (things I overheard) and I interrupted the adults that were talking. I didn't understand why no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't "be better."
I have 3 severe adhd children that we medicate. As a family we know that natural medication will not work for them because the meds from the doctor works and then stops working. They have good and bad days. My 2 boys steal anything and everything and will lie to your face after you have found the stolen goods and have them on camera stealing it. Don't make a lick of difference. I know for a fact that they would not be able to function in school at all with out their meds. I am sorry you had to suffer as a child. I know parents that refuse to medicate and their child calls themself stupid because they struggle so bad and are not doing well in school at all.
Thank you for speaking up about your experience. When my son was diagnosed with ADHD in kindergarten I was able to ask two friends who were diagnosed as adults. Their stories were very similar to yours and we chose the medication. He still struggled some in school but is now in college studying to be a mental health professional. We are very proud of him and feel we made the right choice.
I have a friend with a child with severe ADHD. She was wavering on medication. The doctor told her she could choose between medication now or jail or rehab in the future. As a late diagnosed ADHDer who made six trips to rehab in the decade before my diagnosis (my forties, if you can believe it), this hit hard.
I am trained in research (phd in measurement), and I looked through the studies Amare attatch in their documentation for this product. They cite some legit double blind studies specifically studying the effect of saffron extract on mild to moderate anxiety and depression. Based on these studies, it could be okay to add this supplement as part of a routine after consulting a perscriber. What this DOES NOT mean is that (1) saffron works for ADHD, (2) this treatment will replace other medications, and (3) that Amare's version of saffron extract is the cheapest/most effective way to buy this supplement (especially since Kids Mood includes a bunch of other stuff that they don't provide studies for). So, talk to your prescriber about adding saffron extract to your existing theraputic routine if you want to explore that as an option. Don't buy from an MLM though.
The irony is now I learned that saffron might be a nice addition to my current system of anxiety meds BUT I will now be buying it from the same supplement store I always go to that's semi-local and I get things at an appropriate price. Good job Amare, you have now given business to nonmlm competitors.
Saffron is also notorious for being extremely expensive, actually the most expensive spice in the world, meaning that most times, what is called saffron is actually is actually not (or at least not pure). I wonder if Amare is shelling out upwards of $20 dollars PER GRAM and selling it to their customers - and how much would that make one of these cocktails? I know meds in the US can be ridiculously expensive but I still doubt it’s this bad - plus the drugs are actually tested and work.
"No scary side effects, no changed personalities, no long term effects and it works!" ADHD meds can have side effects, yeah. They can screw with your appetite and you risk losing weight if you don't keep an eye on it. Blood pressure etc. can also go iffy. But that's why you take them with the guidance of doctors, and regular check-ins. Yeah, ADHD changed my personality. I went from fighting for my life to actually having some light behind my eyes. It was like the first time I put on my glasses, the world was suddenly so much clearer. I could think! I'm not cured, but by god, it helps. Long-term effects? Yeah, there are some. I was 15/16 and dead in the water academically. Now I'm 20, almost 21, and I just completed my first year at university. The long-term effects of my medication are succeeding in life, being happy, doing more than just surviving.
I love hearing stories like this. It was a hard decision to make for my kids, and before they were effective communicators it was difficult, especially with people like this judging.
@@TheAngeltoad I can't imagine what it's like to be on the other side of this situation. My parents wanted to avoid getting me diagnosed with anything for fear of it labelling me and making life harder, so until it hit breaking point I truly had no idea of how to cope. I'm sure your kids have bright futures ahead of them, especially with you in their corner. Those that judge parents for giving their children medication would (understandably!) be horrified if somebody denied a physically disabled child access to their wheelchair. Just because it's a different struggle, doesn't mean that it's okay to withhold the tools that can aid them through life.
LITTERALLY!! If you are having severe negative side effects you shouldn’t be on that medication! I am still searching for a medication combination with my prescriber that works for my combo of issues, and so I meet with him _every month._ Even when I was on a consistent combo I still met with him every few months. I also have been on medications where I’ve needed to check in regularly with my therapist, family, and friends to make sure there was no personality changes when I started taking those specific meds. Even my non-mental health related medication gets a checked up on about once a year. Even then, if one medication doesn’t work, there’s so so many more that are options for medications for ADHD especially. I’ve tried many of them and have figured out what works best for me (snris) and what doesn’t (stimulants). It’s a process of trial and error. Not all doctors are good obviously, and some will treat it like a one and done thing, but medication should *never* be a one and done thing with zero checkups.
I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but I find it incredibly dangerous referring to their supplement packets as "pixie sticks." Making them sound like a candy is a recipe for disaster.
@@AelfswytheWhy? The world is FULL. Are you blind to the horrific things that all we people have done to this planet? Why, oh, why do we need to boost the number of people on this planet? (And why does a supposedly First World country like the USA have so many people who have no idea what overpopulation is, how adults are directly responsible for the size of their families, and how we damage the environment just by being here?) As for the LDS being a religion rather than a cult started by story telling conman who ‘saw’ a new ‘Bible’ by sticking his face into a hat to interpret golden plates that NO ONE actually saw written on in a non-existent ancient language by an invented white (of course) ancient Jewish tribe in Northern America…. well, if the Mormons cannot actually see just how far down the rabbit hole (Alice in Wonderland reference) they have been pulled - then they can just keep on handing over 10% of their income to a man (of course) who reckons he is a living prophet, wearing ridiculous underwear, banging out babies to be brainwashed into being good little earners for the church by the time they are oiled in temple, and hoping that the men will get to be a god of their own planet and banging out millions of spirit babies that of course still need baby mommas. Ps. If you want to read and believe in more sci-fiction and give your sweat and tears for another man’s ridiculous wealth, have a look at Ron Hubbard’s little set up. At least with them you might be able to slave for a film star!
@@Aelfswythe consider this: They're not mocking anyone. They're connecting the dots. There's a LOT of overlap between strict religions and MLMs. Their idea seems like a legitimate one to me - it's possible, even likely.
Not all people with ADHD demonstrate the classic "hyperactivity." Sometimes, it appears in smaller ways like hair twirling or wiggling toes in shoes or it can be mental hyperactivity (racing or seemingly chaotic thoughts).
Yes! They always try to frame that it's just a "mood disorder" or "a focus issue". Like you just need to take one supplement and bam! Ta-da, you're "healed"! That's not how ADHD works... My husband has ADHD, and it affects everything, it's how his brain is wired, and no supplement can just "unwire" him.
This is actually disgusting. As someone who was recently diagnosed with ADHD, my whole life has been extra hard for no reason because of ignorance like this. I’m so sorry for her child & I hope she can survive
same. Quite honestly I feel like my life would have been much easier if I was diagnosed earlier and taken seriously, this poor girl is going to have such a hard time growing up having a mother like that. Makes me sick
Yes!!! 👏 When I was a teenager, I tried to advocate for myself because I suspected I had ADHD, and adults in my life basically said that they didn't want to put me on "speed" and I just needed to try harder.
I also whether Mom is in serious denial about possibly also having ADHD. It doesn’t excuse any of this obviously but it’s super common that our parents have massive cognitive dissonance around this kind of thing b/c they don’t want to admit that their struggles also aren’t normal.
I hate it when these MLM reps use words like "protocol" to make it sound like there is legitimate science behind the use of their product, when there is not.
Welcome back! What is really sad is that right now, ADHD medication can be really hard to get due to shortages. So lots of people are looking for alternatives just to be able to function like they used to. so claiming that their MLM products can help with ADHD is going to bring in a lot more potential customers.
When I was first diagnosed I was prescribed energy drinks until they could get me medication. The shortages are terrible. I'm almost glad I'm not financially well-off enough to be able to look into quick fixes like this, because honestly? At some points you're desperate.
It took us months to get my son's, and we haven't gotten it refilled since then. Super annoying when the scripts are constantly being to be resubmitted. Luckily he doesn't require them like so many I know. At least she didn't claim it "cured" her daughter, I'd have lost it. That line makes me angry in so many levels. It's always followed by congratulations in the comments, too, making me want to scream.
As both an upper elementary teacher and someone with ADHD, I have the “my kid just got diagnosed with ADHD” conversation at least 2-3x per year. There’s always a fear from the family that putting their 8, 9, or 10 year old on stimulants will have harmful side effects, which is a reasonable concern! There are other things (with actual legit science behind them) that can be done to help kids with ADHD before going straight to meds, but some of us (including me!) need stimulant medication to live our daily lives. It’s also incredibly predatory that she’s selling this as an ADHD treatment during an Adderall shortage.
Absolutely! Medication is a big thing to start especially for a kid, and it absolutely should be done under the supervision of a doctor with regular checkups to make sure those negative side effects are avoided. But also not every single ADHD medication is a stimulant, most of them are because they are known to be effective, but for parents who are worried about that there are non-stimulant options they can start with. Personally I’ve found them more effective than stimulants myself, but that just goes to show that medication is never a one size fits all!
I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 29. I am only 6 minutes in at the time of my comment, and when you said what this video is about, my stomach turned. The neurodivergent community is so preyed upon and abused, I'm also trying to be the best ally to the Autistic community as I can be because if we don't advocate for ourselves/each other, then we usually aren't advocated for. Even if I'm unable to make it through your entire video, I want to thank you for making this and bringing light to such a frustrating and genuinely painful problem. ♥ Edit: I made it all the way through and I am so glad I did and am blown away. I wish I could articulate how much this means to me. Thank you.
I could immediately tell it was your first video back by how happy and excited to film you looked! thank you so much for preparing so much content for us while you were gone. sending you love and lots of sleep!
@@AgataWilczek I took a personal day off yesterday, so my brain is still "Wednesday" mode somewhat, so when I saw the notice, I said, "Oh yeah, she does update today, huh?" given that she updates Mondays and Wednesdays. I'm happy that indeed, it is Thursday and I don't mind what day of the week she uploads, I'll take any video available 😂
As a person with adhd, this makes me FURIOUS! There is soooooo much guilt, shame and plain imposter syndrome that come with this condition on its own, no child needs to gaslight themselves into believing they should be better.
Gotta correct the dude at 24:00. Adderall is NOT "slow release methylphenidate". Adderall is amphetamine (a few different salts of it). Both drugs are stimulants but they are NOT the same in terms of mechanism of action, side-effect profile, etc, and people will respond differently to them depending on their own particular brain chemistry.
Came to the comments to say this. Concerta is long acting methylphenidate. Anyone with ADHD who has tried several things can tell you that the amphetamine salt blends (Adderall, Vyvanse) and methylphenidate (ritalin, concerta) are markedly different types of stimulants.
This is the TikTok my friend sent me and recommended me to try out for my 7 year old ADHD child 😢 I KNEW I had heard of “amare” from Hannah so as soon as she sent it I had to go back and check and sure enough. Sooo sad that they are targeting stressed out mamas that are desperate for help/support with their adhd children. So happy for you to be back Hannah!!🫶🏽 welcome to motherhood congratulations on your baby girl 💗
As someone who struggled with ADHD, meds were less effective than strategies. It's an attention priority disorder, so the trick is to find strategies that tie similar priorities together. And space to not be constantly bombarded.
@@draconicfeline6177 With my daughter it was a mix of minimal medication and strategies, strategies, STRATEGIES. We were also extremely fortunate to be in (two different) school systems that worked with her. I know all too well that many people aren't that lucky.
As someone who prefers natural stuff with ADHD- functional medicine is great, just make sure you know the ingredients, because some have dyes. Saffron can help ADHD, but I’m not sure about treating it. Regardless- it’s messed up to make those claims without showing scientific evidence.
When I was around 10, we had a “fundraiser” where we sold Rock Candy on a stick and whoever sold the candy, got prizes and such. I knew at 10 years old, that it was some type of scam, I just couldn’t put my finger on what the problem was. I have a feeling, that this little girl, probably knows what her mom is doing is totally weird. But when you’re 10, it’s hard to find the voice and say “I’m not doing this” - it’s a shame to see MOTHERS, of all people in this world, exploit their children because they think they can make a buck. It honestly, makes me sick.
I live in Lehi, UT and I used to work at the Hilton here. The amount of MLM events held there was wild. Young Living was a regular and we all hated when they came... Lehi used to be a nice, small town and now it's where all the MLMs come. I hate it.
Tell Zeke that we are so glad he is back!! As much as we missed you we all know who really runs the channel lol. You look AMAZING tho!!! With a newborn on board I know how hard it is to get any 'adulting' done with full time caretaking. Hardest job I ever did. So happy you and Squish are doing so well!!!
So happy to have you back! Also, this is disgusting. As a parent with a daughter who really has daily struggles with ADHD and other things, this is APPALLING. When first learning about it and trying to do the best for your child to help them, you will almost do anything. Taking advantage of parents who just want to help their kids is just awful.
I love that you called your baby the milk monster. I called my daughter that too. She's 6 now and boy do I miss the baby snuggles but she does give great kid snuggles. Good on you for taking a stand on people using ADHD as a way to get parents to spend loads of money on a fix for their kids.
Was wondering if you also reported the chief scientist? It seems like his violations of the company's policies are more egregious than a rep's, in that it gives reps the idea that it's ok to make such claims. And welcome back, looking forward to more of your content!
Omg, a new company that distributes dietary supplements that will fix all my problems including, potential, a child’s ADHD? How original. 🙃🥔 This woman is unbelievable.
I have bipolar instead of ADHD but the times I have wanted to yell someone like this "No, your fcking snake oil is not going to fix the chemical imbalance of my brain Karen!"
Glad to have you back. This was a stellar return. Amazing work on this, Hannah. Hoping that eventually these people learn what harm they're actually doing.
Welcome back. I completely believe that no MLM company will really do anything about their reps spreading lies unless something serious happens and the company themselves gets thrust into the spotlight or that mainstream media picks it up and makes the company look bad enough for them to do something about it so they can act magnanimous and pretend like they actually give a crap.
No MLM company will do anything about what their reps post until MLMs are Federally regulated and they get in trouble for what their huns are spouting.
I work in clinical research regulatory. This was absolutely flabbergasting to me. Thank you for bringing up the issues with informed consent and pointing out the flaws in their lack of understanding concerning the studies they were referencing. And thank you for reporting this!!
Thank you for reporting that person. I have adhd and it got really bad for me as an adult. Ive been being treated for it for a while, but nothing is perfect. I’m so sick of people exploiting mental illnesses to sell crappy products. The same with the one story you shared where that deranged person told a mother who had lost one child and problems during pregnancy and that hun said her supplements or whatever would’ve saved her first child and made the second pregnancy not have any issues. People who literally go out of their way to prey on cancer patients. And the Huns exploiting their own children and using them as billboards when they should know that’s not the safest thing especially with large followings because of the creeps but your kid shouldn’t be a billboard for your MLM “business”. It’s so ridiculous. Thank you for being amazing and the sweetest, Hannah. I hope you’re doing good and the little one is good too! Also your awesome cat that doesn’t like scams either! ❤
I normally don’t comment on videos but this is so heartbreaking I needed to say something about it. (Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my native language). As someone who struggles with adhd it’s even worse to see this. I was diagnosed as a child. I’m 25 years old now and I still struggle with it and learning about it and to life with my adhd. (which sucks more often than not). To see this kid not getting the help she might need (with meds or not) breaks my heart, especially because she already has a diagnosis which could make it so much easier to help and understand her and her needs. This kid has so much potential and her mom makes her life (probably) much harder than it already might be by not helping her just to make money. It’s disgusting
While I do believe diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, and certain supplements like omega 3s can help with my ADHD I do not believe this MLM product would replace my ADHD meds and therapy. Thank you for reporting this!
I was diagnosed with ADD at eight years old. My mom did all her research and decided medication was the best route. I’m so happy she did that. Now I’m 24 and living my best life. Medication saved my school career and helped me pass all my classes. I couldn’t imagine being made to take a weird MLM pill or having oils rubbed on me to help a chemical imbalance in my brain.
As an adult with ADHD, this makes me absolutely sick. I understand that parents don’t want their children to be medicated and I know that they love their children fiercely, but those children need access to all of the studied/tested/validated/peer-reviewed resources available. I wasn’t diagnosed until 30 and finally being on medication has turned my life around. My heart hurts for those children with parents that think they can be “cured” of their ADHD with BS supplements. That little girl deserves better.
I'm pretty sure that my mother sent me one of her tiktoks a few months ago and she was talking about buying some of the supplements. She and I both have ADHD and so does my son so we are always on the lookout for anything that can make our neurodivergent lives better. I saw red flags right away even though she didn't specifically mention the company name in her video so I looked into it. Sure enough, it was Amare! I warned my mom right away and sent her your deep dive video about them. Thank you for being such a great resource! Also, welcome back and congratulations! ❤😊
I absolutely cannot with the products that are supposed to fix a dozen different issues. I know that medications do different things for different people, but this is getting ridiculous.
Been waiting for this episode since you talked about it on Instagram! Yay! Edit to add: that poor little girl. When she grows up and sees what her mom did when she was young is going to be heart breaking.
Welcome back!! Being a mother that has a child that has ADHD. I understand the desperation from parents, because sometimes using medication the child gets over medicated, which is what happened with my son, but there is many factors to that and one of them was his school getting involved and taking his health care away from me until I showed the doctor what the school had done to my son and then I was able to take control back with help with the doctor and we got my sons ADHD under control and now he’s 31 years old and doing great. A quick fix is never a solution even though that’s what every parent wants.
So happy to see you filming in real time. I genuinely appreciate the effort pregnant creators go into creating content to allow themselves to take a postpartum break! You are truly glowing in motherhood!!
Completely off topic (because I don't know if I'll actually be able to watch this video without getting angry), but my bestie got one of those "you won a makeover for yourself and some friends!" emails from David's Bridal yesterday and was showing me and I looked at it for half a second and went "Mary Kay, it's a scam" because I'd seen it come up in one of the horror stories videos. Glad I could save her from the trouble thanks to you and the community!
I'm so excited to see you back! I am glad you had time to bond with your baby. The newborn stage is absolutely rough, but it'll pass sooner than you think. As someone who got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult (but struggled my whole life), this breaks my heart. To think about the parents out there worried about their kids wellbeing, searching for help, and still putting their kids health in the hands of someone selling nothing more than a placebo. It hurts my heart for the children thinking they need this to "fix" them. People with ADHD aren't broken, our brains are just wired differently. We have strengths and weaknesses just like everyone else. Medication can help regulate some struggles, but nothing is a "one size fits all" like this rep seems to claim. Thank you for doing the work to report her, and I appreciate you sharing this with us.
My mom back in the 70's before ADHD give my brother a small cup of coffee and he would focus and calm down. We could all notice it. She was a nurse and heard it from a friend. She was on to something possibly🤷♀️
That’s basically how stimulant medication works!! Caffeine is a stimulant, and so it basically works the same way, but doesn’t last as long as medication does. Pre-diagnosis, a lot of adults with adhd self-medicate with energy drinks or coffee, it’s super super common.
Yeah coffee definitely helps a little. When i was in uni, before i switched from concerta to foquest, my meds wouldnt last long enough to get me through exams with a 7pm start time, so id always get coffee before them because it at least helped a little bit when my meds wore off
The actual real best way to help ADHD symptoms without drugs: occupational therapy and parental education about how their child’s brain works a little differently. I have a couple ADHD kiddos and I don’t medicate them, but I also don’t see them as problems to fix. I see them as having different challenges and strengths than a lot of other kids. We do the work of occupational therapy and learning tools to support them and help them learn to function and appreciate their brains.
Exactly! ADHD people are people, and education/understanding does sooo much to help us, both for us and our loved ones. There's plenty of science-based methods that don't require medication. I'm glad you're doing so much for your kids! :)
Physical activity, time outdoors, and Omega 3 have some research to support their efficacy as well. It can make the more frustrating symptoms a little easier to manage.
Same. I used OT with my own brain and had such great success that I of course had to raise my kids to use the same mindfulness techniques and they've helped a lot.
I had parents like you. But ultimately medication saved me. Please don't dismiss it's place in helping people. I never needed to he appreciated, I needed to be helped
As an adult who has had the hardest time getting the correct diagnosis and medication to help me with adhd (in-attention type) and depression, this makes my blood boil.
I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and one thing I've noticed is that the stigma against taking medication for ADHD is strong even in ADHD spaces! This is specifically preying on that stigma and i absolutely hate it. 🤢
So wonderful to see you back Hannah. You’re looking great, and I hope you’re happy to be back. This is a great video. I love that you took action here. I have ADHD myself, and the idea of ADHD kids being given these bull**** products instead of proven treatments makes me feel a bit sick. That poor girl might be really struggling and not getting the treatment she needs.
The very rarely having clean hair is the most relatable thing ever from when I had my kids. My first born was basically how I trained my hair to not have to wash more than once a week. I guess I should thank him 😂
You're right about how binge-able this series is, and I was listening to this one while cleaning my room! I wanted to stop and say that I admire your commitment to writing a letter (Congrats on the baby back then, btw) and I thought of something related to your concerns about the child with ADHD growing up and feeling uneasy about being part of this MLM advertising young [and having her personal info out there, etc.] Point being, I truly hope your baby grows up to know that Mom isn't one to shy away from hard and honest work, and that you can make a difference by standing up and calling out inappropriate behavior. It sounds like you put a ton of work not only into research, but also into doing what felt morally right - reporting - despite the hassle it involved, and I hope your baby will be so proud of that someday. Sidenote - I always appreciate how respectful you are in your videos towards religion despite not being religious yourself. Utah does have a culture of many moms and thus there is likely frequent overlap with religion in that area, but I genuinely appreciate how that didn't feel like the point you were trying to make: you were simply stating the facts of where the letter went and pointing out that there were conferences there in the past, etc. It's a nice way of presenting information and not doing so in a way that was offensive, and I admire the journalistic integrity (if that's the right term) in regards to you being straightforward without making it feel uncomfy to watch. Thank you for your hard work!
i've always thought that mlms not really supervising their reps is a way to feign ignorance of outlandish claims, but amare's trying to dodge compliance reports is on a whole new level!! very glad you accepted their challenge lol. welcome back!
I was good with a video every Monday, so getting a video on a different day of the week is a treat! I’m so glad you were able to take time off to spend time with your baby. ❤️
Hannah thank you for making a video on this. I got into with a different rep in the comments of a similar video and it was a lost cause. She was posting about her sons adhd and I was sickened by it. I reported her to the ftc and sent it to you. So grateful you can raise awareness.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 as a mom of a child with ADHD and also autistic THANK YOU! The people who do these things across the board need to stop! These are Childrens lives at stake literally. My God it’s disgusting to sell something or make a sale you have no care whatsoever about the children your jeopardizing. Well done Hannah well done 💜💜💜🤗🤗🤗🤗
I appreciate all your work. I'd say you're one of the best sources of knowledge about MLM's and continuing talking about their dangerous business "opportunities" is important. I hope your child grows well and healthy
I'm so glad you're baaack!! Something I was thinking: the range 6-16 of this "clinical trial" is completely unreasonable for anyone to find it useful. A solid study would check hundreds of prepubescent children + control group, hundreds of teenagers + control group and hundreds of adults + control group.
It’s one thing to not put your kid on meds. It’s another to “treat” them with unfounded & unproven “treatments.” I’ve struggled (& I do mean struggled) with ADHD my whole life. I truly hope this child will be able to forgive her mother for what she’s done to her when she gets older.
Welcome back! What makes me saddest about this is that her kid could probably benefit from trying actual ADHD medicine that can help with that disorder… And that their mother is probably holding them back from that. Or the kid is on meds, and the mom is potentially standing in its way (Not trying to say that ADHD has to be treated with medicine or that it is a ”fix”, just that I teach a lot of kids that have greatly benefitted in school from having started ADHD medicine)
Welcome back Hannah, congratulation on the little one and I just want to say you look gorgeous. I've raised 3 boys with ADHD and I can't believe a mother would use her child in this way.
I suspect the reason they want complaints in written form is so they can throw the letter out and claim they never received anything due to no proof that would be on the internet/email
Im guessing the "not accepting email reports" goes back to plausible deniability. "Who, us? We never got your complaint. Perhaps it got lost in the mail."
I watched this video a while back and I'm watching it today. What a difference a little perspective can do!!! My brother and I have just been diagnosed with ADHD and I know my brother has been struggling his whole life because my mother didn't want "her baby" to be on medication. He's in his 40s now and can attribute a lot of his past experiences to misunderstandings due to being on the spectrum. This mother is robbing her son of the ability to manage his life more efficiently just because she's got it into her head that he "shouldn't take meds at a young age"!! What BS!!!!!😡
It’s 110 today in Texas and I am hiding in the house for the day. I have gone down the rabbit hole of UA-cam videos and discovered you. I don’t know if you have a journalism/reporting background but you are so much better than so many of the people I view on TV. You are entertaining. Well spoken well researched. Totally impressive. Thanks for helping me hide from the heat today.
Welcome back! Thank you for going the extra miles to protect others. Our son who experience a TBI at birth was just diagnosed with ADHD by a child psychiatrist. There are actually many different kinds of ADHD. Not all will be medicated alike. And while some meds are hard to find that is not true for all meds. When dealing with your child’s brain and mental health- a respected medical professional should be the one to seek for treatment. We are so thankful for the medication prescribed. One day I’ll have to submit my own story to you. I was raised by a single mom who was in literally every MLM out there. It truly did traumatize my sister and I as well as took money we needed to survive. Good job again!
I’m an adult who wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD til adulthood & I can tell you that untreated ADHD can lead to whole host of other mental illnesses when it’s not properly managed. I feel so sad for this kid actually getting a diagnosis but not getting proper treatment. Treatment is different for everyone but some ridiculous supplement isn’t it. Thank you for the work you put in to hold this rep accountable. I hope at the very least the company sent out a very clear notice to all their reps at the very least.
This is amazing, you went above and beyond. I think they saw your presentation and was scared of you. They were like, "this person is serious!" You check all the boxes so they had no excuse in saying "theres not enough evidence" or "who are you talking about" "this is unclear information." You also avoided them claiming that the letter never arrived. You made them take it seriously and because of that, desperate vulnerable parents and kids will no longer be targeted. I just wish, Amare made it against policy to use and exploit underaged kids to help sell the products. It would have been nice to see that the child no longer had to be featured in the videos. This also shows that even though we are just 1 person, we can make a huge difference by doing the right things in the right way that leaves no gaps for excuses to form or accumulate. I'm pretty sure you inspired so many people to speak up about things they disagree with, with this video. Its definitely very inspirational.
I’m so happy to see you back. The newborn stage can be incredibly stressful, but it’s so rewarding. Treasure these moments because kids grow up so fast.
I have an injury and have been off work for 2 weeks and finding your channel has helped me pass the time. I enjoy your content and LOVE that you are respectful the privacy of children and also not overly judgemental. You gained a subscriber!!
29:00 agree, it would be a million times easier to provide evidence via email where you could just link the violating videos/posts, how difficult to write that all out! Kudos to you for taking the time!
So happy you’re back Hannah! Currently on holiday in the US (from Ireland). We rented a car to visit New York and one of the first ads we heard on the radio was Q Sciences! It sounded… off. Like why are you telling me I can go off my medication and use these natural supplements??? So when they said Q Sciences I went ‘That’s an MLM Hannah mentioned!’ because I wouldn’t have known what on earth this sketchy sounding company was otherwise! (Also the amount of generally medical ads is baffling over here. My friends and I were laughing over how half the ads were all the side effects different doctor prescribed only meds could give you! We had to load up a spotify playlist from one of our phones after a while as the amount of ads like this would drive you insane!)
Welcome back! Those moments you can steal away for yourself are just as sweet as those potato snuggles sometimes. You deserve to feel like yourself, and those new human trenches can be hella rough, so glad you're getting that. 😊 Gotta go finish chores but congrats, Hannah!
I work with neurodivergent children and people selling trusting parents snake oil is something I see as abuse now. The kids really miss out on things that actually may help them because the snake oil salesman has put fear into the parents about medicine. The doctors trying to help the families can't make the same claims these MLM hons can.
Thank you Hannah for doing this deep dive on this TikTok MLM hun - and reporting her! Go you! A friend sent me one of this woman’s Tiktoks (I have adhd) and I googled the products mentioned in the TikTok to confirm that they were overpriced MLM products as I suspected. Thanks for your continued advocacy against this toxic business model and their false claims!!
Welcome back! As for the letter going to a different place, it’s very possible that the company uses a mail processing service. I used to work for a mail processing center that did work for tons of clients- from big charities to town utility bill payments. Mail sent to the company’s PO Box would just come to us and we’d do data entry, donation deposits, and even sending out thank you notes and other items on the company’s behalf. So that’s probably what happened! There is probably some way for letters like that to be sent to the main office or logged in some way if they do use a mail processing service.
As a mom with a kid that has adhd, this makes me so mad. Like there are so many of us that wish there was a “natural” 😒 alternative, but there just isn’t. Making a kid take some unregulated crap is not gonna help, and could even make it worse. We need to trust our doctors with this, but these predatory sales tactics make people distrustful which we do NOT need more of. Thanks for reporting her.
It’s kind of funny hearing you talk about being a new mom bc I always got such mom vibes from you. Your energy is so compassionate loving patient. You’re going to be such a good mom to your shiny new baby! I’m so glad you’re back✨✨
The absolute PRECISION of how you did the reporting up until filming yourself sealing the envelope and posting it… that’s what I’m here for! Good to have you back Hannah! ❤❤❤
Welcome back! Great video! I have my own bone to pick with a specific Amare rep right now, she’s doing very dangerous things, and I’m taking steps with the appropriate agencies. They are one of the most dangerous MLM companies I’ve ever seen. Their messaging is extremely problematic. I wish more people would report!
Welcome Back Hannah and congrats on the new bundle of joy! I just started watching this video and had to stop to write this. It's really funny how you have achieved pretty much every single goal of an MLM Hun. Mainly you are your own boss, and that you were able to work the hours you wanted to work and have the ability to take time off for maternity leave...and you didn't have to scam anyone, spam post, or go bankrupt in the process! Keep up the awesome work on these videos!
I'm so grossed out and feel so bad for that girl and other kids whose parents are contacting the hun. As a parent with ADD with a son with ADD, it just triggers me, especially badly. Medication has been a life saver for my son and myself. They've helped create healthier habits and routines. It's frustrating as hell. Also, separately, hyperactivity is not always a symptom of ADD, which is why is moved more to be described as ADD with ADHD being the subset that predominantly shows hyperactivity. I only learned this after my son and I were diagnosed, as we have quite distinct and different symptoms.
Also! Amazing comeback video, Hannah! I love how classy you are and how you made a TANGIBLE change in an MLMers behavior without trying to destroy or humiliate them. I know she is still being scummy, but I honestly think even her not using the hashtag “ADHD” anymore is a huge win! Thanks for doing such informative and impactful work!
13:27 I'm not a professional "yet" (my degree does deal with this however; I have my associates, will have my bachelor's in 2 years) and...I'm not even sure they can legally call this a "study" because it's a survey. (for reference, I'm in environmental science, and while not in health related fields, I deal a LOT with studies and statistics, including reviews of studies, etc). Surveys are HIGHLY biased. It's likely they sent these products FREE to some people, then sent an electronic survey and only 10 filled it out. I would need to see their so-called study information and how they did the sampling, and how they did the survey...which isn't information they provide. Most parents rarely notice changes in their kid's behavior because it's "normal" for them. Did they do the Vanderbilt assessment every single day? Weekly? How long did these kids trial the products? SO many questions. This would automatically lead me to say it's completely invalid and therefore a scam.
One of my high school girlfriends reached out to me at the beginning of the pandemic when I was at my most vulnerable:: I’d left an abusive relationship and moved to a different state with just my doggy and what I could pack in my car. I’d been completely isolated from everyone because of my ex. I innocently thought she was cheating on me but quickly I heard the word Arbonne! I was so desperate I almost became one of your horror stories. Thankfully I couldn’t afford the start package, so I declined and she never reached out again but still had the AUDACITY to try to recruit my sister. I still saw her social media transform into an Arbonne ad. After seeing your videos,I’ve been dying to reach out to her with the facts!
Welcome back, Hannah! Thank you for putting so much care into making sure we wouldn't go without videos. I hope the transition back to work goes smoothly.
An Amare rep got me when I was dealing with debilitating anxiety and I was desperate :/ I tried it for a month and it did not work at all. So glad I decided to say no to continuing that route and instead got onto some medication that actually helped! I am finally off of the medication as well and I’m feeling so free!
Welcome back & congrats! As a mom of 4 (now grown) kids, I remember the sleep deprivation. It’s rough! May it not last too long for you. Glad you got the time to enjoy ALL the baby cuddles (they’re the best!).
It's not getting better for me. My second wakes hourly overnight, every night, and he's 1 in a few weeks. It's actually worse than when he was a newborn doing 2 hour wakes. If I'd seen this coming I wouldn't have had babies back to back that's for sure 😂
Thank you for having the moral fortitude to follow through on this matter. The fact that you went way above & beyond to not only inform the company, but also provided images, links, dates & other pertinent info speaks volumes of your integrity & shows just how much you genuinely care about the well being of others. As a mother of a child with ADHD & Autism Spectrum Disorder & as an adult with ADHD as well, I too could've easily fallen victim to their schemes if not for the fact that I have 22+ yrs in nursing & I understand the seriousness of the situation. I realize this video is a yr old & I've been subscribed for approx that amount of time, but rarely comment. Congratulations on motherhood! 😊

Hannah! Would you also consider sending this info into the FTC or whomever else could be notified regarding the matter? I’d be so curious to see what the rest of the process looked like, and if your voice had extra weight due to your platform. A deep-dive into reporting, if you will.
No
Hater @@cw2010
Hannah, I really really love you, but please be aware that so-called "tested and proven" medicine, sold by big pharma (which is just as - if not more evil as these MLM's and their main interest is MONEY) prescribes literal AMPHETAMINES to children as old as 6 years old... ADHD medication is amazing for concentration, and I have tried both - Modafinil and a street drug called Speed, and I can confirm they feel very similar as the ingredients in them are LITERALLY the same.... my point is that regardless of how "proven" medicine is, doesn't mean that they are safe or even effective... If you know "paradoxical reaction", when antidepressants can cause violent and suicidal thoughts, anxiety pills can cause anxiety and so on... its also a massive scam. It just breaks my heart seeing you praise drugs and medical professionals whose knowledge is very vague and so limited.. either way, big fan, again LOVE you and wish you al the best
Hannah: doing more to protect a child's identity than the parents.
Seriously 😅
For reals
As a person that wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was an adult, I really resent parents that decide not to treat their child because the parent doesn't like medicine. I suffered a lot as a child. I got in trouble for talking too much or daydreaming in class. I was always having a hard time focusing on work in class and at home, and worse of all, just about every time I was punished at home, it was based on something I said. I had no impulse control and would blurt out things that people didn't need to know (things I overheard) and I interrupted the adults that were talking. I didn't understand why no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't "be better."
I have 3 severe adhd children that we medicate. As a family we know that natural medication will not work for them because the meds from the doctor works and then stops working. They have good and bad days. My 2 boys steal anything and everything and will lie to your face after you have found the stolen goods and have them on camera stealing it. Don't make a lick of difference. I know for a fact that they would not be able to function in school at all with out their meds. I am sorry you had to suffer as a child. I know parents that refuse to medicate and their child calls themself stupid because they struggle so bad and are not doing well in school at all.
Thank you for speaking up about your experience. When my son was diagnosed with ADHD in kindergarten I was able to ask two friends who were diagnosed as adults. Their stories were very similar to yours and we chose the medication. He still struggled some in school but is now in college studying to be a mental health professional. We are very proud of him and feel we made the right choice.
I have a friend with a child with severe ADHD. She was wavering on medication. The doctor told her she could choose between medication now or jail or rehab in the future. As a late diagnosed ADHDer who made six trips to rehab in the decade before my diagnosis (my forties, if you can believe it), this hit hard.
I hope everyone can read this comment
Girl I feel you so hard, I hate the stigma around meds.
I am trained in research (phd in measurement), and I looked through the studies Amare attatch in their documentation for this product. They cite some legit double blind studies specifically studying the effect of saffron extract on mild to moderate anxiety and depression. Based on these studies, it could be okay to add this supplement as part of a routine after consulting a perscriber. What this DOES NOT mean is that (1) saffron works for ADHD, (2) this treatment will replace other medications, and (3) that Amare's version of saffron extract is the cheapest/most effective way to buy this supplement (especially since Kids Mood includes a bunch of other stuff that they don't provide studies for). So, talk to your prescriber about adding saffron extract to your existing theraputic routine if you want to explore that as an option. Don't buy from an MLM though.
The irony is now I learned that saffron might be a nice addition to my current system of anxiety meds BUT I will now be buying it from the same supplement store I always go to that's semi-local and I get things at an appropriate price. Good job Amare, you have now given business to nonmlm competitors.
Cook lots of paella
That was great! Thank you 😊
Oh that's great info I'll ask about it at my next follow up
Saffron is also notorious for being extremely expensive, actually the most expensive spice in the world, meaning that most times, what is called saffron is actually is actually not (or at least not pure). I wonder if Amare is shelling out upwards of $20 dollars PER GRAM and selling it to their customers - and how much would that make one of these cocktails? I know meds in the US can be ridiculously expensive but I still doubt it’s this bad - plus the drugs are actually tested and work.
"No scary side effects, no changed personalities, no long term effects and it works!"
ADHD meds can have side effects, yeah. They can screw with your appetite and you risk losing weight if you don't keep an eye on it. Blood pressure etc. can also go iffy. But that's why you take them with the guidance of doctors, and regular check-ins.
Yeah, ADHD changed my personality. I went from fighting for my life to actually having some light behind my eyes. It was like the first time I put on my glasses, the world was suddenly so much clearer. I could think! I'm not cured, but by god, it helps.
Long-term effects? Yeah, there are some. I was 15/16 and dead in the water academically. Now I'm 20, almost 21, and I just completed my first year at university. The long-term effects of my medication are succeeding in life, being happy, doing more than just surviving.
Congratulations on succeeding.
I love hearing stories like this. It was a hard decision to make for my kids, and before they were effective communicators it was difficult, especially with people like this judging.
@@LisaHarvey16 Thank you so much!
@@TheAngeltoad I can't imagine what it's like to be on the other side of this situation. My parents wanted to avoid getting me diagnosed with anything for fear of it labelling me and making life harder, so until it hit breaking point I truly had no idea of how to cope.
I'm sure your kids have bright futures ahead of them, especially with you in their corner. Those that judge parents for giving their children medication would (understandably!) be horrified if somebody denied a physically disabled child access to their wheelchair. Just because it's a different struggle, doesn't mean that it's okay to withhold the tools that can aid them through life.
LITTERALLY!! If you are having severe negative side effects you shouldn’t be on that medication! I am still searching for a medication combination with my prescriber that works for my combo of issues, and so I meet with him _every month._ Even when I was on a consistent combo I still met with him every few months. I also have been on medications where I’ve needed to check in regularly with my therapist, family, and friends to make sure there was no personality changes when I started taking those specific meds. Even my non-mental health related medication gets a checked up on about once a year.
Even then, if one medication doesn’t work, there’s so so many more that are options for medications for ADHD especially. I’ve tried many of them and have figured out what works best for me (snris) and what doesn’t (stimulants). It’s a process of trial and error. Not all doctors are good obviously, and some will treat it like a one and done thing, but medication should *never* be a one and done thing with zero checkups.
I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but I find it incredibly dangerous referring to their supplement packets as "pixie sticks." Making them sound like a candy is a recipe for disaster.
So true! Do you remember when they made vodka infused whip cream. Lots of drunk children happen by accident cuz of that
They also sell another product called "happy juice"
@cap-lock9432 If parents cant keep an eye on their kids then they should be held responsible , not the product.
Yeah I'm a nurse and this is a really REALLY bad idea. Medication and candy should never ever be confused to a child like this
Bad take @@d.b2370
A test on 10 kids makes me think that a Mormon or homesteading family just tested it on their own kids and called it a study.
😂😂 So true!!
😂😂😂😂
I get your attempt at humor, but bashing a religion and large families is distasteful.
@@AelfswytheWhy? The world is FULL. Are you blind to the horrific things that all we people have done to this planet? Why, oh, why do we need to boost the number of people on this planet? (And why does a supposedly First World country like the USA have so many people who have no idea what overpopulation is, how adults are directly responsible for the size of their families, and how we damage the environment just by being here?)
As for the LDS being a religion rather than a cult started by story telling conman who ‘saw’ a new ‘Bible’ by sticking his face into a hat to interpret golden plates that NO ONE actually saw written on in a non-existent ancient language by an invented white (of course) ancient Jewish tribe in Northern America…. well, if the Mormons cannot actually see just how far down the rabbit hole (Alice in Wonderland reference) they have been pulled - then they can just keep on handing over 10% of their income to a man (of course) who reckons he is a living prophet, wearing ridiculous underwear, banging out babies to be brainwashed into being good little earners for the church by the time they are oiled in temple, and hoping that the men will get to be a god of their own planet and banging out millions of spirit babies that of course still need baby mommas. Ps. If you want to read and believe in more sci-fiction and give your sweat and tears for another man’s ridiculous wealth, have a look at Ron Hubbard’s little set up. At least with them you might be able to slave for a film star!
@@Aelfswythe consider this: They're not mocking anyone. They're connecting the dots. There's a LOT of overlap between strict religions and MLMs. Their idea seems like a legitimate one to me - it's possible, even likely.
Not all people with ADHD demonstrate the classic "hyperactivity." Sometimes, it appears in smaller ways like hair twirling or wiggling toes in shoes or it can be mental hyperactivity (racing or seemingly chaotic thoughts).
Yes! They always try to frame that it's just a "mood disorder" or "a focus issue". Like you just need to take one supplement and bam! Ta-da, you're "healed"! That's not how ADHD works...
My husband has ADHD, and it affects everything, it's how his brain is wired, and no supplement can just "unwire" him.
Also there are different presentations of ADHD like inattentive type
This is actually disgusting. As someone who was recently diagnosed with ADHD, my whole life has been extra hard for no reason because of ignorance like this. I’m so sorry for her child & I hope she can survive
She's probably masking like crazy so mom won't hate her 😢
same. Quite honestly I feel like my life would have been much easier if I was diagnosed earlier and taken seriously, this poor girl is going to have such a hard time growing up having a mother like that. Makes me sick
Yes!!! 👏 When I was a teenager, I tried to advocate for myself because I suspected I had ADHD, and adults in my life basically said that they didn't want to put me on "speed" and I just needed to try harder.
I also whether Mom is in serious denial about possibly also having ADHD. It doesn’t excuse any of this obviously but it’s super common that our parents have massive cognitive dissonance around this kind of thing b/c they don’t want to admit that their struggles also aren’t normal.
I hate it when these MLM reps use words like "protocol" to make it sound like there is legitimate science behind the use of their product, when there is not.
Right, I see it so often with young living reps too 🤢
Welcome back!
What is really sad is that right now, ADHD medication can be really hard to get due to shortages. So lots of people are looking for alternatives just to be able to function like they used to. so claiming that their MLM products can help with ADHD is going to bring in a lot more potential customers.
Oh yeah! I just got prescribed for meds last month. It took over a week from when I initially was supposed to pick it up to actually be filled.
When I was first diagnosed I was prescribed energy drinks until they could get me medication. The shortages are terrible. I'm almost glad I'm not financially well-off enough to be able to look into quick fixes like this, because honestly? At some points you're desperate.
This is such a good point. People are in a tough spot with meds right now so this is extra predatory. 😔
That is so gross for people who are struggling.
It took us months to get my son's, and we haven't gotten it refilled since then. Super annoying when the scripts are constantly being to be resubmitted. Luckily he doesn't require them like so many I know.
At least she didn't claim it "cured" her daughter, I'd have lost it. That line makes me angry in so many levels. It's always followed by congratulations in the comments, too, making me want to scream.
As both an upper elementary teacher and someone with ADHD, I have the “my kid just got diagnosed with ADHD” conversation at least 2-3x per year. There’s always a fear from the family that putting their 8, 9, or 10 year old on stimulants will have harmful side effects, which is a reasonable concern! There are other things (with actual legit science behind them) that can be done to help kids with ADHD before going straight to meds, but some of us (including me!) need stimulant medication to live our daily lives. It’s also incredibly predatory that she’s selling this as an ADHD treatment during an Adderall shortage.
Absolutely! Medication is a big thing to start especially for a kid, and it absolutely should be done under the supervision of a doctor with regular checkups to make sure those negative side effects are avoided. But also not every single ADHD medication is a stimulant, most of them are because they are known to be effective, but for parents who are worried about that there are non-stimulant options they can start with. Personally I’ve found them more effective than stimulants myself, but that just goes to show that medication is never a one size fits all!
@@TheElf_Online That's true! I always forget that the non-stimulant options exist.
it's not just an adderall shortage actually, there is a global shortage of ritalin too😭💔
As someone with AD4K, thankyou for standing up for us against this dumb
I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 29.
I am only 6 minutes in at the time of my comment, and when you said what this video is about, my stomach turned.
The neurodivergent community is so preyed upon and abused, I'm also trying to be the best ally to the Autistic community as I can be because if we don't advocate for ourselves/each other, then we usually aren't advocated for.
Even if I'm unable to make it through your entire video, I want to thank you for making this and bringing light to such a frustrating and genuinely painful problem. ♥
Edit: I made it all the way through and I am so glad I did and am blown away. I wish I could articulate how much this means to me. Thank you.
I could immediately tell it was your first video back by how happy and excited to film you looked! thank you so much for preparing so much content for us while you were gone. sending you love and lots of sleep!
I guessed it right away, too, but mostly because today isn't Monday. But I had to think for a moment if today is really Thursday lol 😅
@@AgataWilczek I took a personal day off yesterday, so my brain is still "Wednesday" mode somewhat, so when I saw the notice, I said, "Oh yeah, she does update today, huh?" given that she updates Mondays and Wednesdays. I'm happy that indeed, it is Thursday and I don't mind what day of the week she uploads, I'll take any video available 😂
As a person with adhd, this makes me FURIOUS! There is soooooo much guilt, shame and plain imposter syndrome that come with this condition on its own, no child needs to gaslight themselves into believing they should be better.
This is a great point!!
Preach
Gotta correct the dude at 24:00. Adderall is NOT "slow release methylphenidate". Adderall is amphetamine (a few different salts of it). Both drugs are stimulants but they are NOT the same in terms of mechanism of action, side-effect profile, etc, and people will respond differently to them depending on their own particular brain chemistry.
Came to the comments to say this. Concerta is long acting methylphenidate. Anyone with ADHD who has tried several things can tell you that the amphetamine salt blends (Adderall, Vyvanse) and methylphenidate (ritalin, concerta) are markedly different types of stimulants.
lol. I just typed up and posted a long rant/comment about this EXACT THING.
Yeahhhh as an ADHDer myself with an ADHD 6 year old son, anyone claiming that any one regimen "treats" adhd is lying. It's an ever changing dance.
Hannah: “Welcome to my channel!”
Cat: “Yes, welcome to my channel.” 🐈🐈🐈
😂
Congrats on the baby, and welcome back! 🥳
This is the TikTok my friend sent me and recommended me to try out for my 7 year old ADHD child 😢 I KNEW I had heard of “amare” from Hannah so as soon as she sent it I had to go back and check and sure enough. Sooo sad that they are targeting stressed out mamas that are desperate for help/support with their adhd children.
So happy for you to be back Hannah!!🫶🏽 welcome to motherhood congratulations on your baby girl 💗
That is so unprofessional of the rep.
As someone who struggled with ADHD, meds were less effective than strategies. It's an attention priority disorder, so the trick is to find strategies that tie similar priorities together. And space to not be constantly bombarded.
@@draconicfeline6177 With my daughter it was a mix of minimal medication and strategies, strategies, STRATEGIES. We were also extremely fortunate to be in (two different) school systems that worked with her. I know all too well that many people aren't that lucky.
As someone who prefers natural stuff with ADHD- functional medicine is great, just make sure you know the ingredients, because some have dyes. Saffron can help ADHD, but I’m not sure about treating it. Regardless- it’s messed up to make those claims without showing scientific evidence.
When I was around 10, we had a “fundraiser” where we sold Rock Candy on a stick and whoever sold the candy, got prizes and such. I knew at 10 years old, that it was some type of scam, I just couldn’t put my finger on what the problem was. I have a feeling, that this little girl, probably knows what her mom is doing is totally weird. But when you’re 10, it’s hard to find the voice and say “I’m not doing this” - it’s a shame to see MOTHERS, of all people in this world, exploit their children because they think they can make a buck. It honestly, makes me sick.
Not me tearing up at Hannah thanking me for supporting her while she was on maternity leave... Welcome back!!
God, i would be so pissed if I found out my parents were sharing my private medical information with the world.
I live in Lehi, UT and I used to work at the Hilton here. The amount of MLM events held there was wild. Young Living was a regular and we all hated when they came... Lehi used to be a nice, small town and now it's where all the MLMs come. I hate it.
Welcome back 🤍🤍
Tell Zeke that we are so glad he is back!! As much as we missed you we all know who really runs the channel lol.
You look AMAZING tho!!! With a newborn on board I know how hard it is to get any 'adulting' done with full time caretaking. Hardest job I ever did. So happy you and Squish are doing so well!!!
So happy to have you back!
Also, this is disgusting. As a parent with a daughter who really has daily struggles with ADHD and other things, this is APPALLING. When first learning about it and trying to do the best for your child to help them, you will almost do anything. Taking advantage of parents who just want to help their kids is just awful.
Right!? And because people are so suspicious of proper medicine, they just waste their time and money on this nonsense out of desperation. It’s awful.
i almost wonder if her daughter even actually HAS ADHD or if the mother is saying that to make bank on the adhd medication shortages in the USA
This right here.
I love that you called your baby the milk monster. I called my daughter that too. She's 6 now and boy do I miss the baby snuggles but she does give great kid snuggles.
Good on you for taking a stand on people using ADHD as a way to get parents to spend loads of money on a fix for their kids.
Was wondering if you also reported the chief scientist? It seems like his violations of the company's policies are more egregious than a rep's, in that it gives reps the idea that it's ok to make such claims. And welcome back, looking forward to more of your content!
Omg, a new company that distributes dietary supplements that will fix all my problems including, potential, a child’s ADHD? How original. 🙃🥔
This woman is unbelievable.
Is that a sarcastic potato? If so, I love it!
I have bipolar instead of ADHD but the times I have wanted to yell someone like this "No, your fcking snake oil is not going to fix the chemical imbalance of my brain Karen!"
Totally Briannah.
Queen Lemon has spoken.
OMG, I love your work! So cool to see another awesome anti-MLM/anti-health scam creator in Hannah's comment section!
Glad to have you back. This was a stellar return. Amazing work on this, Hannah. Hoping that eventually these people learn what harm they're actually doing.
Welcome back.
I completely believe that no MLM company will really do anything about their reps spreading lies unless something serious happens and the company themselves gets thrust into the spotlight or that mainstream media picks it up and makes the company look bad enough for them to do something about it so they can act magnanimous and pretend like they actually give a crap.
No MLM company will do anything about what their reps post until MLMs are Federally regulated and they get in trouble for what their huns are spouting.
I work in clinical research regulatory. This was absolutely flabbergasting to me. Thank you for bringing up the issues with informed consent and pointing out the flaws in their lack of understanding concerning the studies they were referencing. And thank you for reporting this!!
Thank you for reporting that person. I have adhd and it got really bad for me as an adult. Ive been being treated for it for a while, but nothing is perfect. I’m so sick of people exploiting mental illnesses to sell crappy products. The same with the one story you shared where that deranged person told a mother who had lost one child and problems during pregnancy and that hun said her supplements or whatever would’ve saved her first child and made the second pregnancy not have any issues. People who literally go out of their way to prey on cancer patients. And the Huns exploiting their own children and using them as billboards when they should know that’s not the safest thing especially with large followings because of the creeps but your kid shouldn’t be a billboard for your MLM “business”. It’s so ridiculous. Thank you for being amazing and the sweetest, Hannah. I hope you’re doing good and the little one is good too! Also your awesome cat that doesn’t like scams either! ❤
I normally don’t comment on videos but this is so heartbreaking I needed to say something about it. (Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my native language). As someone who struggles with adhd it’s even worse to see this.
I was diagnosed as a child. I’m 25 years old now and I still struggle with it and learning about it and to life with my adhd. (which sucks more often than not). To see this kid not getting the help she might need (with meds or not) breaks my heart, especially because she already has a diagnosis which could make it so much easier to help and understand her and her needs. This kid has so much potential and her mom makes her life (probably) much harder than it already might be by not helping her just to make money. It’s disgusting
While I do believe diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, and certain supplements like omega 3s can help with my ADHD I do not believe this MLM product would replace my ADHD meds and therapy.
Thank you for reporting this!
I was diagnosed with ADD at eight years old. My mom did all her research and decided medication was the best route. I’m so happy she did that. Now I’m 24 and living my best life. Medication saved my school career and helped me pass all my classes. I couldn’t imagine being made to take a weird MLM pill or having oils rubbed on me to help a chemical imbalance in my brain.
As an adult with ADHD, this makes me absolutely sick. I understand that parents don’t want their children to be medicated and I know that they love their children fiercely, but those children need access to all of the studied/tested/validated/peer-reviewed resources available. I wasn’t diagnosed until 30 and finally being on medication has turned my life around. My heart hurts for those children with parents that think they can be “cured” of their ADHD with BS supplements. That little girl deserves better.
I'm pretty sure that my mother sent me one of her tiktoks a few months ago and she was talking about buying some of the supplements. She and I both have ADHD and so does my son so we are always on the lookout for anything that can make our neurodivergent lives better. I saw red flags right away even though she didn't specifically mention the company name in her video so I looked into it. Sure enough, it was Amare! I warned my mom right away and sent her your deep dive video about them. Thank you for being such a great resource! Also, welcome back and congratulations! ❤😊
So glad you caught her! ❤
I hope your mum took your warning to heart!
I absolutely cannot with the products that are supposed to fix a dozen different issues. I know that medications do different things for different people, but this is getting ridiculous.
Totally agree.
Cure-alls cure nothing
Been waiting for this episode since you talked about it on Instagram! Yay!
Edit to add: that poor little girl. When she grows up and sees what her mom did when she was young is going to be heart breaking.

Lmao!! 😂 (Your comment cracked me up! Thanks for that.)
Welcome back!! Being a mother that has a child that has ADHD. I understand the desperation from parents, because sometimes using medication the child gets over medicated, which is what happened with my son, but there is many factors to that and one of them was his school getting involved and taking his health care away from me until I showed the doctor what the school had done to my son and then I was able to take control back with help with the doctor and we got my sons ADHD under control and now he’s 31 years old and doing great. A quick fix is never a solution even though that’s what every parent wants.
So happy to see you filming in real time. I genuinely appreciate the effort pregnant creators go into creating content to allow themselves to take a postpartum break! You are truly glowing in motherhood!!
Completely off topic (because I don't know if I'll actually be able to watch this video without getting angry), but my bestie got one of those "you won a makeover for yourself and some friends!" emails from David's Bridal yesterday and was showing me and I looked at it for half a second and went "Mary Kay, it's a scam" because I'd seen it come up in one of the horror stories videos. Glad I could save her from the trouble thanks to you and the community!
I'm so excited to see you back! I am glad you had time to bond with your baby. The newborn stage is absolutely rough, but it'll pass sooner than you think.
As someone who got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult (but struggled my whole life), this breaks my heart. To think about the parents out there worried about their kids wellbeing, searching for help, and still putting their kids health in the hands of someone selling nothing more than a placebo.
It hurts my heart for the children thinking they need this to "fix" them. People with ADHD aren't broken, our brains are just wired differently. We have strengths and weaknesses just like everyone else. Medication can help regulate some struggles, but nothing is a "one size fits all" like this rep seems to claim.
Thank you for doing the work to report her, and I appreciate you sharing this with us.
Supplements are no match for the proper medication.
@@LisaHarvey16 Exactly! Not even close to being helpful.
My mom back in the 70's before ADHD give my brother a small cup of coffee and he would focus and calm down. We could all notice it. She was a nurse and heard it from a friend. She was on to something possibly🤷♀️
That's how my husband has been controlling his for years.
That’s basically how stimulant medication works!! Caffeine is a stimulant, and so it basically works the same way, but doesn’t last as long as medication does. Pre-diagnosis, a lot of adults with adhd self-medicate with energy drinks or coffee, it’s super super common.
Yes, caffeine is a stimulant and stimulants are primarily what ADHD meds are. I use caffeine to function daily
While we were on vacation we forgot my sons meds (a lot of miscommunication on my part!) so he was given sugar free Mountain Dew to help with it!!😂
Yeah coffee definitely helps a little. When i was in uni, before i switched from concerta to foquest, my meds wouldnt last long enough to get me through exams with a 7pm start time, so id always get coffee before them because it at least helped a little bit when my meds wore off
The actual real best way to help ADHD symptoms without drugs: occupational therapy and parental education about how their child’s brain works a little differently. I have a couple ADHD kiddos and I don’t medicate them, but I also don’t see them as problems to fix. I see them as having different challenges and strengths than a lot of other kids. We do the work of occupational therapy and learning tools to support them and help them learn to function and appreciate their brains.
I agree there are other ways and yours is so much better.
Exactly! ADHD people are people, and education/understanding does sooo much to help us, both for us and our loved ones. There's plenty of science-based methods that don't require medication. I'm glad you're doing so much for your kids! :)
Physical activity, time outdoors, and Omega 3 have some research to support their efficacy as well. It can make the more frustrating symptoms a little easier to manage.
Same. I used OT with my own brain and had such great success that I of course had to raise my kids to use the same mindfulness techniques and they've helped a lot.
I had parents like you. But ultimately medication saved me. Please don't dismiss it's place in helping people. I never needed to he appreciated, I needed to be helped
As an adult who has had the hardest time getting the correct diagnosis and medication to help me with adhd (in-attention type) and depression, this makes my blood boil.
I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and one thing I've noticed is that the stigma against taking medication for ADHD is strong even in ADHD spaces! This is specifically preying on that stigma and i absolutely hate it. 🤢
Also the clinician guy from Amare described Adderall as slow release Ritalin? Hahahaha they're completely different drugs!
So wonderful to see you back Hannah. You’re looking great, and I hope you’re happy to be back.
This is a great video. I love that you took action here. I have ADHD myself, and the idea of ADHD kids being given these bull**** products instead of proven treatments makes me feel a bit sick. That poor girl might be really struggling and not getting the treatment she needs.
The very rarely having clean hair is the most relatable thing ever from when I had my kids. My first born was basically how I trained my hair to not have to wash more than once a week. I guess I should thank him 😂
You're right about how binge-able this series is, and I was listening to this one while cleaning my room! I wanted to stop and say that I admire your commitment to writing a letter (Congrats on the baby back then, btw) and I thought of something related to your concerns about the child with ADHD growing up and feeling uneasy about being part of this MLM advertising young [and having her personal info out there, etc.]
Point being, I truly hope your baby grows up to know that Mom isn't one to shy away from hard and honest work, and that you can make a difference by standing up and calling out inappropriate behavior. It sounds like you put a ton of work not only into research, but also into doing what felt morally right - reporting - despite the hassle it involved, and I hope your baby will be so proud of that someday.
Sidenote - I always appreciate how respectful you are in your videos towards religion despite not being religious yourself. Utah does have a culture of many moms and thus there is likely frequent overlap with religion in that area, but I genuinely appreciate how that didn't feel like the point you were trying to make: you were simply stating the facts of where the letter went and pointing out that there were conferences there in the past, etc. It's a nice way of presenting information and not doing so in a way that was offensive, and I admire the journalistic integrity (if that's the right term) in regards to you being straightforward without making it feel uncomfy to watch.
Thank you for your hard work!
i've always thought that mlms not really supervising their reps is a way to feign ignorance of outlandish claims, but amare's trying to dodge compliance reports is on a whole new level!! very glad you accepted their challenge lol. welcome back!
I was good with a video every Monday, so getting a video on a different day of the week is a treat! I’m so glad you were able to take time off to spend time with your baby. ❤️
Hannah thank you for making a video on this. I got into with a different rep in the comments of a similar video and it was a lost cause. She was posting about her sons adhd and I was sickened by it. I reported her to the ftc and sent it to you. So grateful you can raise awareness.
Reporting is a good idea.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 as a mom of a child with ADHD and also autistic THANK YOU! The people who do these things across the board need to stop! These are Childrens lives at stake literally. My God it’s disgusting to sell something or make a sale you have no care whatsoever about the children your jeopardizing. Well done Hannah well done 💜💜💜🤗🤗🤗🤗
I agree it's totally disgusting to prey on children.
It’s not a monday!! This means Hannah is back!!! Welcome back!!! Hope you, the baby, and hubby enjoyed the past few months and are doing good!!!
I appreciate all your work. I'd say you're one of the best sources of knowledge about MLM's and continuing talking about their dangerous business "opportunities" is important. I hope your child grows well and healthy
I'm so glad you're baaack!! Something I was thinking: the range 6-16 of this "clinical trial" is completely unreasonable for anyone to find it useful. A solid study would check hundreds of prepubescent children + control group, hundreds of teenagers + control group and hundreds of adults + control group.
It’s one thing to not put your kid on meds. It’s another to “treat” them with unfounded & unproven “treatments.” I’ve struggled (& I do mean struggled) with ADHD my whole life. I truly hope this child will be able to forgive her mother for what she’s done to her when she gets older.
Welcome back! What makes me saddest about this is that her kid could probably benefit from trying actual ADHD medicine that can help with that disorder… And that their mother is probably holding them back from that. Or the kid is on meds, and the mom is potentially standing in its way (Not trying to say that ADHD has to be treated with medicine or that it is a ”fix”, just that I teach a lot of kids that have greatly benefitted in school from having started ADHD medicine)
Welcome back Hannah, congratulation on the little one and I just want to say you look gorgeous. I've raised 3 boys with ADHD and I can't believe a mother would use her child in this way.
I suspect the reason they want complaints in written form is so they can throw the letter out and claim they never received anything due to no proof that would be on the internet/email
Im guessing the "not accepting email reports" goes back to plausible deniability. "Who, us? We never got your complaint. Perhaps it got lost in the mail."
I watched this video a while back and I'm watching it today. What a difference a little perspective can do!!! My brother and I have just been diagnosed with ADHD and I know my brother has been struggling his whole life because my mother didn't want "her baby" to be on medication. He's in his 40s now and can attribute a lot of his past experiences to misunderstandings due to being on the spectrum. This mother is robbing her son of the ability to manage his life more efficiently just because she's got it into her head that he "shouldn't take meds at a young age"!! What BS!!!!!😡
It’s 110 today in Texas and I am hiding in the house for the day. I have gone down the rabbit hole of UA-cam videos and discovered you. I don’t know if you have a journalism/reporting background but you are so much better than so many of the people I view on TV. You are entertaining. Well spoken well researched. Totally impressive. Thanks for helping me hide from the heat today.
Her background is teaching!
Welcome back! Thank you for going the extra miles to protect others. Our son who experience a TBI at birth was just diagnosed with ADHD by a child psychiatrist. There are actually many different kinds of ADHD. Not all will be medicated alike. And while some meds are hard to find that is not true for all meds. When dealing with your child’s brain and mental health- a respected medical professional should be the one to seek for treatment. We are so thankful for the medication prescribed. One day I’ll have to submit my own story to you. I was raised by a single mom who was in literally every MLM out there. It truly did traumatize my sister and I as well as took money we needed to survive. Good job again!
Very invested now to hear your story!!! Don't wait too long!!
welcome back!
as someone newly on ritalin, i'm super happy for my super concentrated stimulant thanks
I’m an adult who wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD til adulthood & I can tell you that untreated ADHD can lead to whole host of other mental illnesses when it’s not properly managed. I feel so sad for this kid actually getting a diagnosis but not getting proper treatment. Treatment is different for everyone but some ridiculous supplement isn’t it.
Thank you for the work you put in to hold this rep accountable. I hope at the very least the company sent out a very clear notice to all their reps at the very least.
This is amazing, you went above and beyond. I think they saw your presentation and was scared of you. They were like, "this person is serious!" You check all the boxes so they had no excuse in saying "theres not enough evidence" or "who are you talking about" "this is unclear information." You also avoided them claiming that the letter never arrived. You made them take it seriously and because of that, desperate vulnerable parents and kids will no longer be targeted. I just wish, Amare made it against policy to use and exploit underaged kids to help sell the products. It would have been nice to see that the child no longer had to be featured in the videos.
This also shows that even though we are just 1 person, we can make a huge difference by doing the right things in the right way that leaves no gaps for excuses to form or accumulate. I'm pretty sure you inspired so many people to speak up about things they disagree with, with this video. Its definitely very inspirational.
I’m so happy to see you back. The newborn stage can be incredibly stressful, but it’s so rewarding. Treasure these moments because kids grow up so fast.
I have an injury and have been off work for 2 weeks and finding your channel has helped me pass the time. I enjoy your content and LOVE that you are respectful the privacy of children and also not overly judgemental. You gained a subscriber!!
29:00 agree, it would be a million times easier to provide evidence via email where you could just link the violating videos/posts, how difficult to write that all out! Kudos to you for taking the time!
So happy you’re back Hannah! Currently on holiday in the US (from Ireland). We rented a car to visit New York and one of the first ads we heard on the radio was Q Sciences! It sounded… off. Like why are you telling me I can go off my medication and use these natural supplements??? So when they said Q Sciences I went ‘That’s an MLM Hannah mentioned!’ because I wouldn’t have known what on earth this sketchy sounding company was otherwise! (Also the amount of generally medical ads is baffling over here. My friends and I were laughing over how half the ads were all the side effects different doctor prescribed only meds could give you! We had to load up a spotify playlist from one of our phones after a while as the amount of ads like this would drive you insane!)
Welcome back! Those moments you can steal away for yourself are just as sweet as those potato snuggles sometimes. You deserve to feel like yourself, and those new human trenches can be hella rough, so glad you're getting that. 😊 Gotta go finish chores but congrats, Hannah!
Well done! I’d suggest sending the letter/info to the attorney general of California, Utah and whatever state the rep lives in.
I work with neurodivergent children and people selling trusting parents snake oil is something I see as abuse now. The kids really miss out on things that actually may help them because the snake oil salesman has put fear into the parents about medicine. The doctors trying to help the families can't make the same claims these MLM hons can.
Thank you Hannah for doing this deep dive on this TikTok MLM hun - and reporting her! Go you! A friend sent me one of this woman’s Tiktoks (I have adhd) and I googled the products mentioned in the TikTok to confirm that they were overpriced MLM products as I suspected. Thanks for your continued advocacy against this toxic business model and their false claims!!
Welcome back! As for the letter going to a different place, it’s very possible that the company uses a mail processing service. I used to work for a mail processing center that did work for tons of clients- from big charities to town utility bill payments. Mail sent to the company’s PO Box would just come to us and we’d do data entry, donation deposits, and even sending out thank you notes and other items on the company’s behalf. So that’s probably what happened! There is probably some way for letters like that to be sent to the main office or logged in some way if they do use a mail processing service.
Interesting.
First: welcome back!
Second: as a mom of a kid with ADHD and having ADHD myself, this mother makes me sick!
As a mom with a kid that has adhd, this makes me so mad. Like there are so many of us that wish there was a “natural” 😒 alternative, but there just isn’t. Making a kid take some unregulated crap is not gonna help, and could even make it worse. We need to trust our doctors with this, but these predatory sales tactics make people distrustful which we do NOT need more of. Thanks for reporting her.
I love how listener friendly your videos are! Finally a channel I can watch while cleaning without getting distracted.
It’s kind of funny hearing you talk about being a new mom bc I always got such mom vibes from you. Your energy is so compassionate loving patient. You’re going to be such a good mom to your shiny new baby! I’m so glad you’re back✨✨
The absolute PRECISION of how you did the reporting up until filming yourself sealing the envelope and posting it… that’s what I’m here for! Good to have you back Hannah! ❤❤❤
Welcome back Hannah!! Congrats on the healthy beautiful baby!
Welcome back! Great video! I have my own bone to pick with a specific Amare rep right now, she’s doing very dangerous things, and I’m taking steps with the appropriate agencies. They are one of the most dangerous MLM companies I’ve ever seen. Their messaging is extremely problematic. I wish more people would report!
Welcome Back Hannah and congrats on the new bundle of joy! I just started watching this video and had to stop to write this. It's really funny how you have achieved pretty much every single goal of an MLM Hun. Mainly you are your own boss, and that you were able to work the hours you wanted to work and have the ability to take time off for maternity leave...and you didn't have to scam anyone, spam post, or go bankrupt in the process! Keep up the awesome work on these videos!
Im so happy you paid for tracking! That was my first thought when they said you needed to post it!
Hi Zeke!! And hi to Cooper too!
Welcome back Hannah and congratulations on your beautiful baby!
You're the most responsible, kind and mature about how you speak about and feature people. It's refreshing!
I'm so grossed out and feel so bad for that girl and other kids whose parents are contacting the hun. As a parent with ADD with a son with ADD, it just triggers me, especially badly. Medication has been a life saver for my son and myself. They've helped create healthier habits and routines. It's frustrating as hell.
Also, separately, hyperactivity is not always a symptom of ADD, which is why is moved more to be described as ADD with ADHD being the subset that predominantly shows hyperactivity. I only learned this after my son and I were diagnosed, as we have quite distinct and different symptoms.
Also! Amazing comeback video, Hannah! I love how classy you are and how you made a TANGIBLE change in an MLMers behavior without trying to destroy or humiliate them. I know she is still being scummy, but I honestly think even her not using the hashtag “ADHD” anymore is a huge win! Thanks for doing such informative and impactful work!
13:27 I'm not a professional "yet" (my degree does deal with this however; I have my associates, will have my bachelor's in 2 years) and...I'm not even sure they can legally call this a "study" because it's a survey. (for reference, I'm in environmental science, and while not in health related fields, I deal a LOT with studies and statistics, including reviews of studies, etc). Surveys are HIGHLY biased. It's likely they sent these products FREE to some people, then sent an electronic survey and only 10 filled it out. I would need to see their so-called study information and how they did the sampling, and how they did the survey...which isn't information they provide. Most parents rarely notice changes in their kid's behavior because it's "normal" for them. Did they do the Vanderbilt assessment every single day? Weekly? How long did these kids trial the products? SO many questions. This would automatically lead me to say it's completely invalid and therefore a scam.
One of my high school girlfriends reached out to me at the beginning of the pandemic when I was at my most vulnerable:: I’d left an abusive relationship and moved to a different state with just my doggy and what I could pack in my car. I’d been completely isolated from everyone because of my ex. I innocently thought she was cheating on me but quickly I heard the word Arbonne! I was so desperate I almost became one of your horror stories. Thankfully I couldn’t afford the start package, so I declined and she never reached out again but still had the AUDACITY to try to recruit my sister. I still saw her social media transform into an Arbonne ad. After seeing your videos,I’ve been dying to reach out to her with the facts!
Welcome back, Hannah! Thank you for putting so much care into making sure we wouldn't go without videos. I hope the transition back to work goes smoothly.
An Amare rep got me when I was dealing with debilitating anxiety and I was desperate :/ I tried it for a month and it did not work at all. So glad I decided to say no to continuing that route and instead got onto some medication that actually helped! I am finally off of the medication as well and I’m feeling so free!
Welcome back & congrats! As a mom of 4 (now grown) kids, I remember the sleep deprivation. It’s rough! May it not last too long for you. Glad you got the time to enjoy ALL the baby cuddles (they’re the best!).
I agree with you about sleep deprivation, but it does get better.
It's not getting better for me. My second wakes hourly overnight, every night, and he's 1 in a few weeks. It's actually worse than when he was a newborn doing 2 hour wakes. If I'd seen this coming I wouldn't have had babies back to back that's for sure 😂
Thank you for having the moral fortitude to follow through on this matter. The fact that you went way above & beyond to not only inform the company, but also provided images, links, dates & other pertinent info speaks volumes of your integrity & shows just how much you genuinely care about the well being of others. As a mother of a child with ADHD & Autism Spectrum Disorder & as an adult with ADHD as well, I too could've easily fallen victim to their schemes if not for the fact that I have 22+ yrs in nursing & I understand the seriousness of the situation. I realize this video is a yr old & I've been subscribed for approx that amount of time, but rarely comment. Congratulations on motherhood! 😊
I feel so sorry for the children being denied proper medication based on false ideological beliefs :(
