Time to Take a Pill

Maybe you should just smoke some pot instead:

"Deadly abuse puts focus on ‘pill mills’; Prescription drugs rank as top killers" April 20, 2011|By Curt Anderson, Associated Press

MIAMI — The White House drug czar wants doctors, states, and law enforcement working harder to stop America’s deadliest drug-abuse problem: highly addictive prescription painkillers. The medicines are killing more people than heroin and cocaine combined.... 
 

Oh, they are LO$ING the LEGAL DRUG WAR, too? 

Is there ANY WAR we are winning, America?

Drug-induced deaths, led by these painkiller drugs, are now second only to car crashes in accidental fatalities nationwide....

The new approach will depend on education, stepped-up law enforcement, and pill-tracking databases.... 

It's all about the New World Order and its control grid!

Now I'm depressed.

"Researcher urges review of cancer link to antidepressants" April 08, 2011|By Dune Lawrence, Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — Scientists should more closely examine whether antidepressant drugs increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, according to a researcher affiliated with Harvard whose review of 61 studies suggested a link....

Lisa Cosgrove, a research lab fellow at Harvard’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics and an associate professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts Boston, led the review. The findings point to a need for more study of the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in women and the link to cancer, she said.

“I would want to consider nondrug treatment if I was mildly depressed, given our data,’’ Cosgrove said.  

That right there is SOUND MEDICAL ADVICE!

Antidepressants, used by 27 million Americans, are the third most prescribed class of drug in the United States, behind cholesterol-lowering medications and painkillers. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which raise levels of the chemical serotonin in the brain, have been shown to increase suicidal thoughts and behavior in teenagers and children....

And most of the mass shooters in America are on the stuff.

No need to take a pill; just take a drink of water:

Liquid Medicine
For decades, it's been the gold-standard treatment for the most distressing of mental health disorders: mania, schizophrenia, and major depression.

But now, lithium - the third element of of the periodic table and an essential constituent of soil, oceans, and every living organism - is being heralded by some experts as the next fluoride; an additive with such therapeutic potential, it should be ingested by millions of Americans every time they pour a glass of drinking water.

It's a provocative prospect that research suggests might reduce rates of suicide, violent crime, and hard drug use....

As reported at:

"John Cade accidentally discovered the effect of lithium while injecting it into guinea pigs in his laboratory in Australia. Serendipitously he noticed that the guinea pigs became sedated and even flaccid. As he explained in the 1949 Medical Journal of Australia, "A noteworthy result was that after a latent period of about two hours the animals, although fully conscious, became extremely lethargic and nonresponsive to stimuli for one to two hours before once again becoming normally active and timid."

Notice that the animals became "extremely lethargic and unresponsive to stimuli." Does this sound like the discovery of a treatment specific for "biochemical imbalance" in manic patients? It is, in fact, the now-familiar brain-disabling effect we first saw described in regard to the lobotomizing impact of the neuroleptics. Because this is so disillusioning, the typical textbook of psychiatry makes no mention of the many studies of lithium effects on animals, and the average psychiatrist knows little or nothing about it.

After this unexpected finding in guinea pigs, did Cade then set up a series of scientifically controlled studies in animals? No need for that, when he had ready access to human guinea pigs in the local state mental hospital. He quickly discovered that he could subdue hospital inmates as easily as he did the guinea pigs, making them into more docile inmates. He himself admitted in his pioneering report that the drug produced a nonspecific leveling effect:

An important feature was that, although there was no fundamental improvement in any of them, three who were usually restless, noisy and shouting nonsensical abuse ... lost their excitement and restlessness and became quiet and amenable for the first time in years. (italics added)


So, my response to this proposal to put lithium into the public drinking water in this country? A hearty "hell no!", thank you very much!

While its prescription, carefully monitored by medical professionals, may be of help to a few people, the last thing Americans need right now is to be more unaware of what is going on around them than they already are" -- Wake the Flock Up
