«Later in the same interview, Cruise
discusses how he “recently helped a family have their
daughter get off [ADHD] drugs . . . We stepped the
[7-year-old] child off the drugs, got her vitamins and food.
She has calmed down now and she has grown seven inches in
about four months” (2).
If true, this child should be examined
for growth abnormalities, as a normal growth spurt
occurs during puberty (12–14 years old in females) and is on
average 3–5 inches. Hyperbole on the part of Mr. Cruise,
perhaps? One would hope the child was under the care of a
medical doctor.»
