Are Psychiatric Drugs Necessary?

There is an ongoing debate on whether psychiatric drugs are necessary or even useful in some occasions. This debate is being fought in courts throughout the world by the victims of these drugs while the rest of the world seems oblivious to this ordeal.

There are perhaps thousands of legal suits against drug manufacturing companies. Some of these suits have made the news because of the award size. Example of these suits is the Eli Lilly, who just recently "lost" a 4.1 billion suit for mislabeling and targeting for sale of the drug Zyprexa for off label use. There are yet another 12 states and class action suits to settle, which could add another 6.8 billion. By the way, this 4.1 billion is chump change when just from this drug alone they have made them more than 38 billion.

The practices of this company show the kind of disregard for human life only found in Hitler's philosophy. To them people is like cattle, a concept introduced by the materialist Psychiatric Industry, which without the drug industry would not be what it is today--a mega billion industry.

If it were not for psychiatry there would be practically no drug use and abuse, especially of psychotropic (mind altering) drugs. It is the belief of psychiatry that man has no soul and therefore, just like animals, can be experimented with or tortured or lobotomized. It was a long held wish in the psych industry that they should be at the forefront of society molding it to their wishes, mind controling and abolishing the concepts of right and wrong and religion.

I leave you with this link above to continue your education on the subject. But, are psychiatric drugs necessary? The answer is NO! There are many methods to help an individual that do not involve placing them in chemical straitjackets. There are many natural methods to help humankind with their problems, most of which are created by a decaying society. Some problems can be bettered and even eliminated with proper diets, with the help of naturists, exercise, clean water and food, eliminating toxins from the body and some get fixed and or reduced with proper education. There is something that can be done that does not involve hiding the problem with drugs.

Are There Good and Bad Drugs?

It is essential to educate our children about drugs and the effects of drugs. Not every parent and teacher would be able to sit and explain clearly what drugs are and answer the question "are there good and bad drugs?"

For this reason I recommend that you get the facts from the source of the most effective Drug Education Program available, the Narconon Program, and get educated before talking to the kids.

There is a great little booklet called 10 Things Your Friends May Not Know About Drugs to start a drug education class and also there are videos to amplify the subject, some are on specific drugs. For example there is the Marijuana The Myth video that will help you with one of the most used but little understood drugs.

Kids today are flooded with false information about DRUGS, faced with peer pressure and various media influences. They see DRUGS and ALCOHOL being used all around them, but are being told that "they" shouldn't try drugs. In the United States, the average age a young person is exposed to street drugs being tried or abuse of medical drugs is 8 years old (the third grade).

The key is to provide them the correct, precise information without bias to help them make the right decision and not to use drugs.

Alternative and free drug education videos are available in YouTube.

Drug Rehabilitation & Education

The recovery from drug addiction is composed of two parts, rehabilitation and education. Rehabilitation, rehab for short, means to recover an original state.

It would be impossible to help to rehab an addict without giving him an education about drugs, addiction, solutions, techniques and new skills to conquer the obstacles to achieve a drug-free life. To make this education easy to reach there are many resources online these days. I recommend the videos from Narconon, which are many. There are also picture books, audio tapes and many other resources for self help on the internet and libraries around the nation and the world.

I recommend getting a basic understanding of the process of rehabilitation by reading my earlier posts on this subject. Learn the difference between an in-patient and out-patient, the difference between a detox and recovery from addiction, also what is a drug-free withdrawal, what is a sauna and how it works.

What would you like to achieve as an individual? What do you expect from a rehab program? Write your questions and give them a call. It is you life, make the most out of it.

Why I Write About Drug Rehabilitation

If you read my early posts you are aware that I was addicted to drugs and that I had a hard time quitting. I achieved the worth while goal of a drug-free life after 18 years of addiction and even if this addiction set me back on my goals in life I do not regret a bit this accomplishment--it is worth every bit of blood, sweat and tears.

This is the main reason why I write about drugs, addiction and rehabilitation; however this is not the only reason. I am father to a teenager, which is doing very good in school and is very independent, active and happy. He and his friends are all good kids and are very much aware about drugs and life; they and all kids in America and the world are the reason why I like to write about drugs and addiction. I don't want them to waste their lives away--I've seen it all. And besides, kids are the future and drug education should be part of every family and every school.

After much trial and error I found the Narconon Program, which saved my life. This is the reason why I like to write now, which was lost before, but now that I'm free of drugs I feel more creative and I can help others better. Even if I am very busy during the week I try to write at least once a week because it is worth it even if just one person is saved from drugs--I owe them that much.

Drug rehabilitation or rehab for short is more than just a detox, one has to conquer the cravings and learn new ways to resolve the problems left behind by the use of drugs and the addiction. That is what I learned from them and you will too if you give it a chance, you won't regret it.
