The Hurricane Of Heroin

The latest wave of chemical surges is called 'Iatrogenic disease.' It occurs when addicts have the potential to take pain pills after surgery or injury and become addicted. Later, doctors cut off those who left them with uncontrollable itching that only opiod would scratched. At least among us, they are labeled as having 'moral issues or weaknesses.'

Any human being can be tripped by addiction. That chemical hook doesn't matter. They come at birth to attack 10% of us and they are fierce. Passed genetically through the generations, current addicts are less served by keeping it a secret.

(Why didn't they stop?) "They do it to themselves." We judge the addict to death, literally. About 70 years ago, the AMA-American Medical Association declared alcohol as a disease. He must not have been treated that way. Monitored? Studied? Forum held? It is a blacklist of diseases.

Visit the breast cancer website. Everything is pink and pretty with messages of hope on a t-shirt while having fun. Then, check out some of the remedial sites: handcuffs, empty whiskey bottles and skulls and crossbones. Very different tones. No one's running to cure them. '

People with lung cancer are not ashamed of smoking. Does dietary diabetic diet cause imbalance? Your own mutilator? They are known to have brain disorders and are not to blame. The medical community and all pharmaceutical companies have committed addictive / addictive alcoholics. Addiction has claimed more lives than any war so far!

Treating prescription drugs is very different from heroin or alcohol. Today, they are usually treated together and hand out 'ledgers'. Alcoholics Anonymous and meeting list. The majority are introduced to "Twelve Steps." Medicines are preferred.

Experts have treated chronic patients with increasing doses of opiates. The result for many is the development of complications, drug dependence and limited improvement. It is the only solution offered and then the patient is left to discover the addiction by watching it happen. To break this pattern, a unique profile must be developed for chronic pain patients and better tools for managing both addiction and pain need to be explored.

Chronic pain patients challenge doctors for a number of reasons including ongoing pain complaints, activity fears and higher incidence of unresolved psychological problems. Pain should be treated as a multi-layer condition. Some patients need help from different sources, not just a medical man who says yes or no to a prescription.

Drug addiction and dependency are highly controversial. Over time, they have been the subject of debate in the development of criteria for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the world psychology book.

The American Society of Addiction Medicine defines addiction as "a major, chronic, neurobiological disease with genetic, psycho-social, and environmental factors affecting its development and manifestation."

Impaired control over use, compulsive use, persistent use despite harm, and desire are top priority. "Disorders of Chemical Use" involves physiological dependence consisting of tolerance and / or withdrawal symptoms.

Unlike addictions to non-prescription drugs (e.g., alcohol, cocaine, heroin), Iatrogenic diseases require the help of a doctor to brush their teeth. Today, the same doctor has to educate himself carefully and look for new treatments.

There are new medicines on the market that reduce appetite, help counteract the horrors of withdrawal and may even 'vaccinate'. against heroin. As such, users will not get 'high'. It is rarely used and is slowly being developed. The AA meeting list is usually the first treatment.

There are old and tired ideas about not using drugs to treat drugs but it's better than burying so much that we know the answer. At least new meds can save some lives as we produce something better than a treatment written in 1939 that has not changed since.

It's time to try bringing some new medicines to use and safely start testing humans. If Europe succeeds Baclofen, China with Kudzu, Africa with Ibogaine, why can't we open up new ideas as soon as possible?
