Warning: Every show Steven E Greer, MD is on gets cancelled
March 8, 2014- By Steven E. Greer, MD
Well, I caused the cancellation of another show. CNBC’s Larry Kudlow had his 7:00 PM show cancelled. This is a clip of me on his show (Note how he botches my name even though the teleprompter has it spelled correctly). Come to think of it, I got poor Larry cancelled twice. I was on his Kudlow and Cramer show in 2004 (see here).
In 2012, MSNBC flew me half way around the country for the Continue reading
Ritz-Carlton could be evicted to make way for condos
April 15, 2014- By Steven E. Greer
We previously commented on the new form of gentrification involving the merely wealthy being evicted by the ultra-wealthy in Battery Park City. The 22 River Terrace condo conversion, and others nearby, are driving renters out of BPC, despite the fact that they are paying market rate for apartments that start at $3,000 a month.
Well, now the New York Post reports on rumors that the Ritz-Carlton Continue reading

How much does it take to sway a CB1 member to do a 180?
March 27, 2014- By Steven E. Greer
Over the last several years, as the Pier A project went from being the money pit of the city, to money pit of the BPCA, then to being a pure gift from the tax payers to the Poulakakos restaurant group, the BPC committee of the CB1 has opposed the possibility that the event space will be a source for noise and disruption. Then, in a dramatic 180 degree turn, the CB1 members became huge supporters this month of anything the Poulakakos group proposed, including a 4:00 AM liquor license with party boats docking.
What caused this about-face? Continue reading

Book review: “ADHD Does Not Exist” By Richard Saul, MD
March 20, 2014- By Steven E. Greer, MD
Richard Saul, MD strived to be provocative with his new book ADHD Does Not Exist. He not only succeeded, but also backed up his bold assertion with ample sound logic and supporting data.
This is an important book because ADHD, as defined by the psychiatry guidelines in the DSM-V, can now be diagnosed in 5% of the United States population. Up to 11% of all children have been diagnosed. Up to 20% of high-school-age boys have been diagnosed with ADHD: a 40% rise in just ten years.
Dr. Saul estimates that the monetary cost of this epidemic of ADHD is as high as $50 Billion. $14 Billion, or 27% of that $52 Billion, was spent on families related to the ADHD “patient”. Another $12 Billion was spent on schools and other health related costs.
Surprisingly, Continue reading
