Drugging Our Children, Our Betrayal

Countless of parents are now suing the multibillion dollar drug manufacturing companies and their 'doctors' due to the dreadful effects of their drugs.

More and more findings of corruption and collusion between doctors, executives and government officials involved in pushing or passing laws and positive medical reviews in an effort to sell their drugs to enrich them.

Examples of this are:
Calmer child comes with a price: side effects
Knee-deep in quick fixes
Drug Researcher Agrees to Curb Role
Psychotic Reaction: Treating ADHD In Maine

These examples are but a few but there are thousands of links and even more documents exposing the greatest scam on humanity, the psych drugs.

Allowing this situation to continue is the betrayal to our children. Let's do something about it!

Over-medication Madness Sweeping a Nation

We all have heard that there is an alarming increase of prescription drugs sweeping the nation, I call it Medication Madness.

Probably you have also heard that there is a link in the increase of violence and suicide and prescription drugs. There are many reports (I'll do my best to fetch some) that confirm that the killing rampages in schools and campuses can be traced to the use of prescription drugs.

There are statistics that now prove that 60% of those on prescription drugs become suicidal or violent.

There is no reason to prescribe these drugs whatsoever; there are completely natural methods that help the individual feel good about him/herself without what is essentially poisons. Sometimes it is as simple as eating a proper meal every day.

I just viewed an interview by a doctor that thinks that there is a medication madness going on I recommend you to see his video on YouTube. You'll thank me later.

Drugs and Corruption is an Industry

Drugs are being pushed at school, in the streets, at work, by the doctor, everywhere. Government officials get bought by the drug companies in order to get a pass and be able to sell their expensive drugs, drugs that don't work but make a lot of money for the investors.

Here is one of the latest scams, check this headlines: Janssen Pharmaceutical misled Government officials, and this: Drug research: To test or to tout?

This is just the tip of the iceberg; the drug manufacturing industry makes billions of dollars for his investors. So, don't be fooled in believing that people just gets sick, people is being made sick because it makes money, how? I'm sure you will think of many possible ways.

Education And Drugs

Education and Drugs is a very important subject these days. We all have observed an increase in the use of drugs at all levels, from school to universities, sports to the workplace, from parents to government officials. You can check these government statistics. None are exempt of the temptation of drugs. This is just the tip of the iceberg and indication of times to come.

How can we stay drug-free you might ask yourself? The answer is EDUCATION, yes, education at all levels. We all have to help on this effort. You, the reader have a big part in this program and can help too. If you are an addict and are not ready, then you can start by learning more about this subject. There are many educational and informational sites, starting with government sites, to bloggers out there who are interested in helping you with more information about drugs and the problems they cause.

There is no lack of good information out there; you just have to sort it out.

Okay, So What Do I Do Next?

Alright, say you are willing to give it a try, so the next step is giving these folks a call. They will guide you and help you the rest of the way.

Nothing I say will change your mind. It is only you that is going to make the change. I can only point you in the right direction, you have to walk the rest of the way.

To Be or Not To Be, That Is the Question

To be or not to be, that is the question that will in the end make a difference for anyone. Do you want to quit or not, do you want a drug-free life or not, that is the question. If your answer is yes then you have a chance.

That is the starting point. If you or someone is at that point or is at least willing to give it a try, then you should call immediately one of these organizations and ask for help. They will welcome your questions and provide you with sensible answers; they will help you form a plan and get you started and also walk you all the way.

You are not alone, some of these professionals have been addicts themselves--I know some of them. They are very decent folks that had a rough time but in the end conquered their addiction and now want to help others.
That is the answer to the question.

There are many choices but one decision

There are over a dozen methodologies and thousand organizations and businesses that deliver addiction programs. These range from non-profit and volunteer run to government sponsored, to well funded, private clinics, to religious based programs.
These come in a variety of subdivisions like, 12 step programs--provably one of the most successful, but only second to this program according to reliable statistics.
Other variety include in-patient, out-patient, detox only, full service, counseling, drug specific programs, drug-assisted and drug-free withdrawal programs.
No matter what is your choice there is only one decision that will make a difference in the recovery from addiction, the decision of starting a new life free of drugs.

One Size Fits All?

Yes and No, there are many options out there that might work for you but if you want the best, in my opinion, this is the Narconon program.
If you want to go to a secluded place with a lake view where you can be away from the daily grind I recomend that you go directly here.
If you want to search first for all your options this a good place to start, and this too.

Good luck with your search and let me know if you need my help.
Comments and questions are welcome.

I Found the Way

I found the way, it was not easy for me. It took a lot of trial and error but in the end I found the right program.
This program has all the right ingredients to make a successful recovery because it addresses all these points: Detoxification, restoration of the physical health, clarification of all the misunderstanding addicts have and new education emphasizing on new skills for life, all this comes with a lot of practical drills that the student does until he or she is confident of the results. There is no enforcement but a gentile push from fellow students and supervisors to help you achieve the expected results; everybody helps each other. Even after completing the program there is a followup to make sure you keep on the right track.
Check some of their success stories.

Not All is Lost

Thinking that it is possible to change is a major step when one is down and out, I know that much. One has to be willing to change, to at least think that there might be a solution to one's problem. That some call it faith, but it is more than that, it is your yourself trying to survive.

The first thing I discovered was that most rehab programs are not really designed to solve the problem for good; they are a scam mainly, maybe to make money from your insurance or from you. Yes, there a lot of good people out there that want to help you, the nurses, doctors, your real friends and family. But the problem is the program not the people.

No 7-day or 28-day or 30-day program is going to get you out of the trap, even an AA program--I know they did not help me. They might get you to sober up but won't, in the long run, help you solve the real problem.

But what do I do you might ask? What is a really good program you might ask?

I will give you some of my ideas in my next posting.

A new drug-free philosophy

A new way of thinking has emerged--it is possible to change.
This philosophy has made a difference in millions of people around the world, I know because I am one of them and I have studied this way of thinking. There is no secret, just good, sensible knowledge that anyone can apply.
I'll continue in my next opportunity. I invite you to participate, I want to hear your opinion.
