Environmental Pollution Still a Huge Concern – Drugs in Our Drinking Water

Concern about our environment is a relatively new concept. It really came to the forefront during 1970’s. In fact before the year 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency didn’t even exist. And while there may have been laws in place designed to protect us from hazardous toxic waste, and other forms of industrial pollution they were difficult to enforce. Headlines during that decade were really frightening. Headlines like: High Smog Levels in Industrialized Cities May be the Cause of Increased Lung Disease. Hazardous Waste Buried under Love Canal, NY Leads to Entire City Being Evacuated. Despite the best efforts of our local governments and the EPA we are still seeing scary headlines like: drugs in our drinking water.

One of the reasons that we are seeing drugs found in US drinking water in the headlines is because, as of yet, there are no specific laws regarding the dumping of drugs in our drinking water or no regulations regarding the acceptable levels of each particular drug in the water that we drink. There is not even a way to enforce such laws if they were enacted because it is not the large drug manufacturing companies that are responsible for this type of pollution, it is us. We are the culprits. It is us and all the hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, farmers and veterinarians that contribute to this problem. All of us dispose of the drugs in much the same way. We flush them down the toilet or rinse them down the drain and then they enter our water system.

The water that flows through the sewer lines travels to a water treatment plant where first it is filtered and then it is treated with chemicals and dumped back into our lakes, rivers and reservoirs. Then, at least 10% of it is recycled back into the water we drink. No wonder we have drugs in our drinking water.

As a parent, reading headlines that cry out drugs found in US drinking water really frightens me. I want more than anything else to protect my family. But, how can I when my local water company can’t? Drugs are still flowing through the tap water that my kids drink everyday?

After doing some research I found that the best answer, at least for now, is to install a water filtration system into my home. And while there are many types of such water filtration systems available the best type to combat drugs in our drinking water is a carbon-ion filtration system.

The carbon-ion system works in two ways. First, the thick carbon block traps most of the pollutants found in tap water and then the ion exchange makes the chemicals and drugs in our drinking water inert.

Now, even when I read headlines saying drugs found in US drinking water, I feel a little safer. I know that I am doing all I can to protect my family. May be one day we will find a better way to dispose of our pharmaceuticals.

A Treatment for Alzheimer's in the Pipeline

Alzheimer's still has no cure; However, with the help of drugs, the symptoms of this disease can be managed. Alzheimer's treatment is a high-risk treatment, but is a high-reward market.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which is characterized by memory loss, cognitive impairment, and functional decline. During the early stages of this disease, sleep disturbances and forgetfulness are the first showing symptoms that occurs in a patient. It is a progressive disease, as it gradually increases with time and damages the maximum part of the brain and finally ruptures the brain cells and nerves. The major concern regarding Alzheimer's disease is the detection of the condition in the patient.

In 2017, the market completely changed, with the introduction of the disease-modifying therapies and innovative diagnostic technologies for Alzheimer's. The potential of new drugs and diagnostics in this market is enormous, given the high prevalence of AD. Currently, the prescribed medications have been approved to treat Alzheimer's in early-to-medium stages, with a class of drugs called cholinesterase inhibitors. These inhibitors are prescribed to treat symptoms that are related to memory, thinking, language, judgment, and other thought processes.

Many of the prescribed drugs are currently being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the treatment of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's. FDA has also approved many specific drugs to treat Alzheimer's, which are helpful in curing the symptoms. According to the latest Dementia India report, a study by the Alzheimer's and Related Disorder Society of India (ARDSI) revealed that there are nearly 3.7 million people affected by dementia in India. The Alzheimer's drug market in India is largely occupied by the domestic and foreign generic drug developers.

A report by a Market Intelligence Firm states that the Alzheimer's market accounted for USD 5.7 billion in 2015, at a CAGR of 10.3%. Due to drug patent expirations and many generics entering the market, the market is expected to witness a slump by 2017. The market is anticipated to record growth, driven by disease-modifying drugs and numerous last-stage pipeline drugs. The prevalence of Alzheimer's in the United States is almost 5 million. Moreover, owing to the increasing aging population, the number is expected to increase further, globally.

The main hurdle for the Alzheimer's diagnosis and drugs market is the lack of substitute markers in the market, for drug discovery and drug development. In addition, it is a highly expensive process, which is plagued with uncertainty issues. The treatment of Alzheimer's is a tricky affair. Currently, there is no specific test that can confirm the presence of Alzheimer's.

Peer Pressure and Drug Use

While it may seem as if drug use is under control, each day someone tries drugs for the first time and becomes addicted. If we know that drugs are bad for us, then why do we continue to insist on getting involved in them? It cannot be stressed enough how important it is for parents to talk to their children. The problem with today’s children and teens lies in the fact that many parents work full time jobs. We no longer live in a world where only one parent leaves for work in the morning. Rather, now we have to contend with both parents working (sometimes two full-time jobs). So, then if this is the case- who is watching the kids? Exactly.

It starts off innocently enough. A child or teenager is hanging out with their friends at someone’s house or after school hours when suddenly someone produces a pack of cigarettes. Before long, the cigarettes are passed out and everyone is taking a drag. But the question still remains: “Why do kids feel the need to try drugs or alcohol?” Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that often times, children witness their parents doing things that they shouldn’t be doing such as drinking alcohol or smoking in front of them.

A different type of situation that many teens find themselves in where they are faced with the decision to do drugs and/or alcohol are at parties. It is really the parent’s responsibility (not the school’s) to sit down with their child and talk to them face-to-face about the inherent dangers of doing drugs and drinking alcohol. There is a reason why there are age restrictions on when you are legally allowed to purchase cigarettes and alcohol. However, despite this fact, kids still find loopholes and ways of getting around it. For some, this temporary rebellion against their parents can have catastrophic setbacks. Year after year, kids become embroiled in drugs. Some join drug gangs and still others learn an even harder lesson when accidental overdoses lead to premature death.

Schools have tried to take the initiative to offset drug use among the youth by providing mandatory classes on the dangers of drug use but still the problem remains. Ultimately, the only thing that seems to curtail drug use and alcoholism is early intervention by parents who are not only there for their kids but who care enough to talk to them about the dangers behind drug and alcohol abuse. There will eventually come a point in a child’s life when what their parents say to them won’t carry nearly as much weight. If we can even help just one child know not only the difference between right and wrong but also help them to have the confidence and strength of character to refuse drugs and alcohol when offered, then we will truly be making headway. Until then, all we can do is continue to be shining examples of how mature adults should behave and hope for the best.

Conspiracies Theory – Mind Altering Drugs, Telepathic Powers, Government Agencies Recruiting Spies

Some way out conspiracy theorists believe that there are government agencies recruiting certain individuals who have a genetic displacement which allows them to see glimpses of the future or enables them to do remote viewing. There have been many way out stories and conspiracy theorist books written on individuals with telepathic powers working for the United States government.

If they are that is a good thing and I’m glad they’re working on our team rather than someone else’s. Is this conspiracy theory real? Does the government recruit kids by giving them mind altering drugs to help them harness their telepathic powers to recruit them as spies? Is this storyline any good? Sure that is a good one. Here is why. Some people’s brains run at faster RPMs. and if a kid had used a methanphetine (Sp?) then their brain waves might jump to 60-80 Hz and who knows what that might do?

Someone talking on a cell phone for an hour might have heated up their brains and caused rogue brain waves able to catch a glimpse of something else. Remember energy and electrical waves are everywhere, so all you would have to do is ride one to another, to another and read it.

If photons can store images and the brain works on light and the nerves of the body work on sound vibrations and the bio-system has various waves, then sure a mind altering drug could do something that would allow some sort of possibilities. Vanimer Bush and others had done studies in the 70’s with these sorts of things. And we all know the story about Shaman theories and their miraculous abilities.

Since most of this is bathed in science-fiction fantasy and conspiracy theory probably there is nothing more to it than that, although many people want to believe it is all true? What do you believe? Is this all just more twilight zone episode’s gone mad?

Drugs and the Story About Dr. Druggard

Once upon a time, this woman went to her family physician, Dr. Druggard, with a constipation problem. The doctor thought for a moment, and decided to prescribe a new drug, a salesman from a drug company said was the latest thing for treating constipation. The drug had some possible “side effects”, and the doctor told the patient to read the possible side effects, and report to him if any of them showed up.

One of the possible side effects was urinary incontinence, which happened to the woman, and she had to start wearing “diapers”. The woman went to her doctor and told him what had happened. He said for her “not to worry”, because he had “another drug” that would stop the incontinence. The incontinence drug had possible “side effects” and the doctor told the woman to tell him if any of “them” showed up.

About two weeks went by and she developed a skin rash, which was one of the side effects of the incontinence drug. She went to her doctor to tell him what had happened. He said for her “not to worry”, because a drug company, had just come out with a new drug, that would take care of her skin rash. This drug “also” had side effects, and the doctor told the woman to be sure to tell him if any “of them” showed up.

Only a few days had passed and she started “seeing double” which was one of the side effects of this new drug. This time, the doctor told her he had “run out of drugs” to treat her new problem and told her to go see her eye doctor.

When she went to her eye doctor, he ask her what she thought might have cause the double vision problem. Whereupon the woman told him the whole story, from constipation on down. The eye doctor told her, that before he would try to fix her eye problem, she should find out what caused her problem of constipation in the first place. So she did some research on the web and found out that eating “white flour foods”, like pasta, donuts, cookies, bread, rolls, etc., cause constipation because they have very little fiber in them.

She called her family doctor and told him what she had found out. She asked him, “why didn’t you tell me what had caused the problem in the first place.” The doctor told her, that he was “trained” to treat people with drugs, and did not know anything about that natural stuff.

Sex, Drugs, and Rock

Driving That Train:

The area that is now known as Turkey played a major role in the Mystery Religions. The use of drugs to create "religious" experiences was developed to a fine art by various occult fraternal mystery religion groups in the Turkey area. The Assassins from where we get the word hashish controlled parts of Turkey and Lebanon in Medieval times. They used drugs to gain the allegiance of their recruits. Some of the most powerful figures for the Illuminati have been Turks. The Grand Orient has had some powerful figures in Turkey. For instance, at the Masonic Congress of all the Grand Orients' (that's European Freemasonry- although several American presidents have been members of European Freemasonry) Grand Lodges, Bou Achmed came from Turkey. The Grand Lodge of Asia was represented by Sebeyck-Kadir from Asia. Bou Achmed took a big role in the Grand Orient's decisions.

As an aside, let me explain one example of the power of the Grand Orient in America. The Grand Orient was originally strong in Louisiana but spread itself to many other US. locations. Garfield, a very powerful man in the Grand Orient, managed to become US. President because the political process got deadlocked at the convention and the Masons suggested him as a compromise candidate. Although Garfield was an extremely powerful Mason, had been perhaps the youngest general in the US. Army during the Civil War, the Illuminati ordered him shot after he had served about a year in office as President. Garfield was reported by an eye-witness to Satanic rituals to have participated in the cannibalistic rites of Satanism done to gain the spiritual power of the eaten person. The Grand Orient Freemasonry has been linked to other orders of Freemasonry that are also called Rosicrucians. Pope John XXIII joined a Rosicrucian group that had links to European Freemasonry when he was in Turkey.

While the secret Grand Orient Freemasonry was very strong in Turkey in spite of its small numbers, the regular American Freemasonry granted a dispensation for a Masonic Lodge to operate in Smyrna, Turkey in May, 1863 but the charters were withdrawn on Aug. 27, 1880. However, it is interesting that of all the Turkish cities, Smyrna was definitely the best place for Freemasonry to gain recruits. Men like Achmed Pasha and many of the other Pasha family have been leaders within Freemasonry and the Illuminati. Achmed Pasha was a Satanist and had a large harem. Mehmet Talaat Pasha (1872-1921) was a Freemason and part of the Turkish revolution of 1908. He was the leader of the Young Turks, which was a joint project of the Sufis and the Frankist Satanists. (The type of Satanism led by the Frank family has had connections to Turkey for hundreds of years.) Mehmet Talaat Pasha was the Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Turkey. He was held the political position in Turkey of grand vizier of Turkey (1917-18). Another Turkish Pasha was part of the Turkish royalty running Egypt when Egypt was part of the Ottoman Empire. His name was Khedive Ismail Pasha and he was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Egypt. It was this Turk, Khedive Ismail Pasha, who gave the famous Obelisk to the United States. This Obelisk was called Cleopatra's Needle and was originally erected in the city of the sun, Heliopolis, about 1500 BC The Obelisk is a representation of a human penis, because sun worship, worship of regeneration (sex) and worship of the sun god Satan were all tied together. Masons helped with the moving of the obelisk, and its dedication when it arrived in New York City. Large obelisks have been erected by Masons in New York, Washington DC, Paris, the Vatican, and London. (If my memory serves me correct Berlin received one too at one time.) "(1)

Notice the importance of Smyrna as a source of Freemasonry here. That is where the Onassis family has operated potion-pushing or altered consciousness drugs for millennia.

Sometimes, when my tiny head is spinning with disinfotainment and other artifacts of the mediasphere, I try to think what archaeologists and social historians 2,000 years from now might make of our particular little epoch. How, for instance, would they parse the word "drug"?

Is a "drug dealer" a pharmacist or a petty criminal? When we talk about "reasonably priced drugs for seniors," are we discussing marijuana or lipitor {or Levitra}? What would they make of the fact that the last four American administrations have declared a "war on drugs" while taking money from drug companies?

Why is it bad when residents of Colombia build mansions from profits on the sale of drugs, but it's good when residents of Newport, RI, do the same thing? When one person cannot live without "lifesaving drugs," we express great sympathy, unless that person is a "drug addict," in which case we may even throw him in jail. When a mood-altering drug is sold in pill form in stores, it's called an antidepressant and hailed as a medical breakthrough. When a mood-altering drug is sold on the streets, it's called felony drug trafficking and subject to stiff criminal penalties.

Because we are native speakers of Americanadianese, we can wend our way through the contradictions. We know that the bad drugs are the ones the cause euphoria and impair judgment, unless the drug is alcohol, but that's not ever called a drug, so there's no confusion there. We know that the good drugs are the ones that cure diseases or relieve symptoms, except sometimes the good drugs are ineffective or even counterproductive in achieving those goals.

Street dealers do not finance experimental trials on the effectiveness of the drugs they sell. Drug companies do, but they fudge the results. Street dealers have a small feedback loop because customers can tell pretty quickly whether they're loaded or not. Drug companies have a long feedback loop because human beings can't instantly tell whether their cholesterol is being lowered or their blood thinned or their insulin production stimulated. A drug with a long feedback loop is clearly more profitable than one with a short feedback loop because the dealer can keep an ineffective drug on the shelves much longer.

Interestingly, the people who sell ineffective drugs are generally said to have made "honest mistakes." If a street dealer sold you an ineffective drug, you could take five of your friends and go back and have a brisk conversation with him. If a behind-the-counter dealer sold you an ineffective drug, you'd have to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit and maybe, maybe, 10 years later you'd get some money, although probably you'd be dead by then .

Street dealers don't have patents on their drugs, which means that they'll always have plenty of competition. Drug companies do have patents, so they can set their prices without worrying about market economics. And when their patents run out, they can put out a drug with a slightly different formulation, promote it like mad and sell the new drug in a monopolistic setting {With government mandated market support in order to manage the 'money-trees' while building bureaucracy.}. You have to wonder when street dealers are going to come up with Cocaine XR or LSD Reditabs.

Since the street dealer works in a competitive atmosphere, he has to keep his prices relatively low. In order to increase his profitability, he can "step on" his product, that is, dilute it. It would be unwise for a drug company to adulterate its product, but since it owns a monopoly, it can set prices artificially high and achieve the same profitability levels. A street dealer who knowingly poisons his clientele is called "the scum of the earth." A drug corporation that knowingly poisons its clientele is called "a tobacco company." People who sell illegal drugs often rot in jail for 20 or 30 years. People who sell legal drugs are often forced to attend tedious daylong board meetings. People who take illegal drugs are called "losers." People who take legal drugs are called "everyone in America."

Glad I'm not an archaeologist in 4040; my brain would ache a whole lot.

One pill makes you larger, and one pill puts you in jail, and please do not operate heavy machinery with the ones that mother gives you. {My ex-roommate was being told to apply for his old job as a forklift truck operator while being given drugs for Schizophrenia which he did not have. He was no liar and could not expose a potential employer to the insurance risks or his fellow employees to the life threat this would entail. Many drugs people use are impairing their driving prowess, and there are laws to take away their license that go unenforced.}

Homeopathy:

It is a wonderful thing to have the Joy of Learning and to make a career that you find is related to your studies. There are so many ways to get a Doctor label and thus claim expertise in the many fields and disciplines which we have broken knowledge into. Some of this is counter to real expertise and much of it just sets people apart from knowledge and each other. But people are also being segmented into classes within the hierarchy of government backed by and for elites in all so many ways. Medicine has been one of their more dastardly tools alongside religion. This next little factoid reminds me of how Edward Gibbon almost died because the British Medical system would not approve vaccinations through use of scabs as had been done by the likes of Paracelsus or others in antiquity and which was approved in the France of his era.

"When the Cholera epidemic reached England, it provided another opportunity to compare homeopathic treatment with the conventional methods of the day. Regular allopathic medicine yielded a mortality rate of 59 percent compared to only 16 percent for the Homeopaths. (2) When these statistics were collected, the information was so startling that a medical commission was sent to the London Homeopathic Hospital to check the records. Though the data were duly verified, it was decided not to make them public, and the facts were not released until a hundred years later . " (3)

The formation of the American Medical Association is a major issue against alternative healing or real care for people. In the late 19th Century as these issues were becoming apparent there were many who knew that the allopaths or medical doctors selling laudanum and the like were actually the 'Killing-trade'. There are signs that stress management (don't fret – sweat or exercise) and the connectiveness to the 'all' around us are again making a play to be considered in health maintenance. Vitamins and supplements are able to prove to even the most duped person receiving medical care that they work and yet some doctor's groups and the governments that back them still disqualify doctors who advise their usage.

Academics are subject to a 'Knowledge Filter' (Berkeley Law Professor – Johnson) or Literary Theory (UBC English Professor Graham Good) and the outright suppression of creative or thoughtful and meaningful potentials. (4) The concept of Bucky Fuller called 'the observer of the observed' and his more detailed 'creative realization' is part of what operates as we 'project' upon reality. For example the things we see are actually a mixture of fields of energy from the dross and less excited to the highly excited or vibrational energy inside the atomic structures. One way of visualizing this includes an aura, which is the field of energy not usually visible but associated with the solar body and integrative centers called chakras. Perhaps we could contemplate a time when all people had the ability to see or sense auras. In our socially normed 'projections' that include telling our children certain things do not exist, we have lost the conscious integration or incorporation of these fields of reality.

Psychic surgeons in the Philippines and Brazil have had their energy measured during operations at the same vibration rate of 7.8 cycles. It started me thinking about how we can alter our state and how others might perceive us in these altered states. Clearly if anyone could see all the spaces between our electrons and the nuclei or between the different atoms and molecules we wouldn't seem solid by a long shot. Thus these surgeons who use no utensils would be able to energize the infected or diseased body part or tumor to remove it at an altered vibration level. There have been solid documentsaries with such credible support as X-rays before a San Francisco businessman had such a tumor removed and X-rays a year later showing it hadn't returned. In the end you must decide who has the most to gain from the arguments and whether or not you want to actualize your own potential. Once you do a few things the debunkers say are impossible – then a smile will come to your face; and the intellectual conflict loses all import.

String Theory knows about the harmonic forces that are less than solid which somehow combine to make what we perceive as a solid. The astrophysicists now have told us that 95% of the universe is 'Dark Matter' or 'Dark Energy' – so get with it before you are invisible and don't know it! Just kidding! We fear that which we cannot fully comprehend and our experts or priests and doctors include many enablers of our fears. We even allow fear to pre-empt love; which is ironic because at the end of our lives it's not the fears or the differences that matter the most but whether we loved and allowed ourselves to be loved as much as possible.

"Every new perception of knowledge is always based either directly or indirectly on older knowledge. InteliTapping allows us to connect with the oldest, yet most complete source of knowledge." (5)

Nature produced a show on the origins of music and the biological and archetypal impact it has had on our evolution and emotional wherewithal. Along with reed instruments from as long ago as 60,000 years that obviously show sophisticated development of technology, they had the cave operas of those who rubbed and drummed on stalactites. They posited that the tree-swinging hominid that like the Sumatran Gibbon co-ordinates community for protection through territorial chants, is not so much less aware as most of our great Lockean influenced academics seem to be. These animals also learned what plants are dangerous and what plants alter your spiritual consciousness. You can see it when your puppy goes outside for the first time and chews on some grass to settle its tummy. Our genes contain a lot of information or the ability to tap-in to much knowledge. The buzz you get from 'weed' is the buzz coming from your Thalami and Third Eye or Pineal gland that has a crystal radio receiver and grains or crystalline structures. Crystalline structures like quartz were known to be useful in the Lost Chord of the Druids and more ancient shamans. There are magnificent quartz caves in Central America and other places that would have been used by early hominids for a certainty.

The Best Body Language – Sex:

Long before Tantra or Bhakti Yoga there were many things ancients probably learned from intercourse, even more than most people do today. Today we have drugs like Viagra to enhance the longevity of the sexual encounter. The Mayans have natural drug for this. There are so many things which keep us busy or deflect us from spiritual insight as is noted in many Eastern systems which refer to the 'busy-mind' or samsara and the illusion of Maya.

Second degree Wiccan students who have advanced through a rigorous training in esoteric knowledge begin a quest that many would regard as perverse pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. The partners are often involved in other committed relationships. When a man and a woman who are interested in spiritual growth combine to experience the Tantric or Bhakti (Yoga) or ritualistic growth potential to free more than just their personal self or ego to reach the heights of spiritual or psychic possibilities; who can say what is real and what is imagined. This effort to commune with spirit is termed 'working partners' and the allies or guides is who they really seek to merge or work with. The imagination is undoubtedly a part of the dynamic. It isn't necessary for them to care for each other in the way lovers do. I have not done this 'work'.

Many people talk about 'soulmates' or 'dual flames' and the words become mere shadows of the real potential. At the same time sex is a dirty 'word', and act, in much of society.

What can a writer say to convey the essence of all these things?

If I absolve myself from the challenge of integrating these concepts, rituals and soulful realities I would simply say trust your soul and know that wherever you may go you will find something more than whatever you thought was real to begin with.

If I talk about 'la petite mort' or empathic attunements with the soul of the partner that allows the self to disintegrate and become part of something larger than one person; and almost dissolve in the vastness of spirit – it will only seem like prose and poetry. The phrase 'la petite mort' or 'the little death' can in fact lead to a Kundalini type experience which can cause death.

Of course, one can wax eloquent and carry on at length about any of their hopes and desires. The essence of a great working partner most probably has little to do with these aspirations and more to do with the way the soul interpenetrates all people. The glimpses of insight gained through empathy and love with those who shared my needs are special to me and will forever stay in the part of my soul (if there is such a part) that cherishes all we were and hungers for what we could have been been .

To deprecate the witch who 'draws down the moon' into their partner on the path to worship of things no one can fully know is the stuff of fearful and insecure people. That kind of bigotry without actual experience is rampant in all areas of society. It is truly just the tip of the proverbial iceberg when one contemplates all the ways mankind has developed to separate himself from what we are collectively and what god truly wishes for us to realize. No amount of constant seeking or obsession with these pursuits will ever get a man any closer to his soul than what he was while in his mother's womb.

The joy and creativity of the challenge to know is as great a gift as our maker can give us – except perhaps the acquiescence to the soul within the loved one you are blessed to have the chance to know and share your life with. In the moment of creation each day as we grow and learn to be, we are forever drawn by some force that seeks greater harmony and purpose for all energy.

Many (if not most) people think the 24 hour orgasm is like alien abductions but the EEG and other ways of measuring physical responses would convince them otherwise. A similar number of people find the misuse of Tantric Yoga by the likes of Crowley and Hubbard is tantamount to whatever is evil in man. I say they are right, but that is not the fault of Tantric Yoga. These techniques are very seductive and in some ways the participants would choose to have the experience even if they knew a great deal about it because it is a sad truism that Masters and Johnson or Kinsey are right. They say a full third of women never have an orgasm through intercourse.

Many people seldom enjoy sex and some significant number of the rest of us are in varying stages of poor to decent ability and openness to what great learning sex can provide. It could be said that our sexual relations are a good barometer of the state of society. I favor sex education and all the opportunities and responsibilities that go with the natural and soulful functions of the act. It is easy to understand why some people are hesitant to have strangers teach their loved ones about sex. But Father Leo Booth is right when he notes that parents who repress their children or foist suppressive behavior upon them are just as guilty of abuse.

Can Your Drugs Cause Tinnitus? Here Are 3 Drugs That Can

Did you know that some drugs you take can cause tinnitus? Are you looking for Tinnitus treatment options because you want to stop the ringing in your ears? Are you suffering from Tinnitus and your doctor has told you that it’s all your fault and that there’s no cure for it? You might be surprised to know that the cause of your Tinnitus might be due to these 3 drugs and stopping the drugs might help?

Drugs That Cause Tinnitus

The following drugs are listed in the Physicians Daily Reference as drugs that cause tinnitus as a side effect. This information is provided as a service and you are advised to check the product literature supplied with the medications you are on.

1) Pepcid. (Famotidine) These are drugs you take to reduce the acid in your stomach and to prevent and treat ulcers in your stomach and intestines. This drug lists Tinnitus as one of the main side effects

2) Imitrex Nasal Spray. (Sumatriptan) This drug is used to treat migraine headaches. Imitrex works by constricting blood vessels so that you don’t feel the pain from a migraine headache. This drug might increase blood pressure which is very bad for Tinnitus. Of course one of the side effects of Imitrex is Tinnitus.

3) Excedrin Extra-Strength Tablets, Caplets, and Geltabs. The last on the list of drugs that cause tinnitus is Excedrin. This drug is used for migraine treatment as well. A high risk of this drug is to cause Tinnitus.

As with any drug, please make sure that you read the literature supplied with it and also ask your doctor about side effects, specially its likely hood of causing Tinnitus. Talk to your doctor about these drugs that cause tinnitus if you are unsure before taking any of these drugs.

Your Milk on Drugs

Milk is considered a traditional symbol of purity and nutrition, especially for children. But some milk has undergone a radical change. It’s not the same wholesome milk that our grandparents used to drink.

Many experts believe that this altered milk is leading to cancer and other serious problems. Countless books, reports, articles and other journals had been published about this concern.

The altered dairy products have been introduced in 1994 when farmers started injecting their cows with rBGH.

Actually to start from the beginning, the FDA concluded in 1985 that beef and dairy products from rBST-supplemented cows were safe for human consumption. In November, 1993, FDA approved the rBST product by Monsanto, Posilac, to be used for milk production in dairy cows. And finally, rBST was included in dairy products in February, 1994.

rBST is also known as rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone), which is a same thing.

What is rBST?

Bovine somatotropin (BST) is a protein hormone naturally produced in the pituitary glands of cattle. Monsanto was able to develop a recombinant version, rBST, by using a genetically engineered E. coli bacteria. Packaged and sold under the brand name “Posilac,” farmers inject it into their cows to force cows to produce more milk – 5% to 15% more.

What is the problem with this drug?

Jeffrey M. Smith, an international best selling author and expert on health risks of genetically engineered foods, has reported that studies showed this drug decreases the nutritional content and increases the amount of antibiotics, the amount of hormones, and the amount of pus in milk.

He has also explained that rBGH stimulates another powerful hormone in cows called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The milk from treated cows has much higher levels of IGF-1 and that’s a big problem.

Dr. Jenny Pompilio, MD, of Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), has reported that elevated levels of IGF-1 can promote cancer in humans.

Jeffrey M. Smith has added to this that Harvard study showed men with high levels of IGF-1 are 4 times more likely to develop prostate cancer, pre-menopausal women are 7 times more likely to develop breast cancer, IGF-1 is implicated in lung and colon cancer, and a recent study implicated IGF-1 in higher rate in fraternal twins.

In fact in the United States the rate of fraternal twins is twice as high as in the UK, where rBGH is banned.

This drug is banned and prohibited in Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and in the 27 countries of the European Union. As a matter of fact the European Commission reported: “Avoidance of rBGH dairy products in favor of natural products would be the most practical and immediate dietary intervention to …(achieve) the goal of preventing cancer.“

How was it approved in the United States, albeit the health concerns?

The approval of rBGH in 1993 in the U.S. was probably one of the most controversial decisions the FDA ever made.

Dr. Richard Burroughs, DVM, a lead reviewer of rBGH for the FDA reported: “Well, the whole rBGH thing represents the fundamental flaws in the regulatory process – the outside influence, a lack or proper structure, proper personnel to do the job that we trust them to do.” He further added: “This was approved prematurely without adequate information.“

So, what does all this mean to us, the people?

William von Meyer, PhD, research scientist says: “Until we allow rBGH to go on I’m sure that we’re taking excessive risk with society.“

Drugs and Violence Go Hand in Hand

It has been observed that drugs and violence are closely interconnected. Where there is abuse of drugs, violence automatically creeps in in various forms. According to a study, 35% of methamphetamine users in the age group of 18-25 years in Los Angeles were involved in violence while under the influence of the drug.

Visit any of the drug abuse treatment facilities and you would verily ratify this claim. Drug addicts also indulge in domestic violence, and this study also claims that 92 percent of perpetrators of intimate partner violence had used drugs on the day of violence. Drug addicts also commit sexual violence in many cases.

Some studies also claim that certain drugs have a greater impact in stirring the aggressive behavior in addicts. People who abuse drugs like crack or cocaine, amphetamines and benzodiazepines tend to behave more aggressively than others. Many instances of violence have come to light where addicts of these drugs were involved. While drugs like cannabis and heroin do not incite addicts to partake in any violence during intoxication, the nature of the person also has to be taken into account when linking drugs to violence.

Effects of drugs induced violence in the family

Domestic violence by a drug addict is not new. Even the rich and famous have got entangled in such a situation many a times. Not only does it jeopardize the order and discipline in the family, but it also brings in immense stress and mayhem to the lives of the family members. If there are children in the family, it impacts their impressionable psyche in a much distorted way.

An abusive drug addict husband could be a greater threat to a woman than a stranger. Studies analyzing crime patterns show that more women are killed by their abusive partners than the strangers. Not just physical violence, but even verbal volleys can disrupt the quietude and harmony in the family. The growth and prosperity of the family is severely impeded when there is a drug addict in the family with intermittent violent episodes every now and then.

An abusive drug addict in the family also means draining of finances. There are financial losses to the family of a drug addict as taking drugs is a costly affair. When there is money crunch in the family, even the healthy members become agitated and it could lead to further spark when altercations take place.

How to tackle drug induced violence at home

A drug rehab program is inevitably the only solution in such a scenario, be it the drug addiction rehab program. Do not think that you are alone. It is reported that almost 75 percent people who started de-addiction treatment exhibited violent behavior earlier.

Another important way to address drugs induced violence is to find out the cycle of abuse in the addict. Drug addicts follow a set pattern in abusing others. When you become aware of that cycle, you can anticipate the onset of the spate of violence coming your way. So, you can take remedial steps before hand and avoid any such encounters.

Talk to the person after the storm has withered and coax him or her to get into a rehab to get rid of this vice for good. Discuss the evils of the addiction and how it has adversely impacted the family. Once you succeed to get the person to a drug abuse treatment facility, stick to the procedure without any leniency and you will soon overcome this predicament that hijacked the peace in your family.
