Drug Addiction – Cause of Depression
04/18/2006
According to a recent government survey, 65% of students are on drugs. The information showed that 54% of high school seniors have experimented with illegal drugs. Add to this the fact that 87% of high school seniors have used alcohol, and you can see we have a big problem. Despite the fact that the legal drinking age in most areas is 21, approximately 2/3 of teenagers who drink report that they can buy their own alcoholic beverages.
The Drug Policy Alliance (a non-profit group) has the wrong attitude about the drinking problem; following is a direct quote from their web site:
"Critical to reducing harm is reality-based drug education. In theory teenagers aren't allowed to drink alcohol, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be taught to always use designated drivers when attending parties where alcohol is consumed. Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies that reduce negative consequences of drug use, incorporating a spectrum of strategies from safer use, to managed use to abstinence. Harm reduction strategies meet drug users 'where they're at,' addressing conditions of use along with the use itself." - Drug Policy Alliance
This goes along the same lines alcohol companies follow, which is to "Drink Responsibly". In other words, if we agree with the Drug Policy Alliance we admit that there is no solution; and if so, let's at least teach them to drink "safely." This group is sending the wrong message to the youth of today, one of hopelessness, however, addiction can be overcome”, said Margret Shaw, national president of www.DrugAddictionHelpline.com
What was found through research is that the human body will store a residue called a metabolite in the fat tissue for 5 – 7 years after drug abuse. This Residue causes cravings, anxiety, and depression. Also the drugs like heroin, oxycontin, cocaine, and meth are more powerful than the chemicals the brain produces to be happy. It takes 1 year for this chemical balance to be restored. The Biophysical method uses a purification sauna, and vitamins to release residues stored in fat tissue so that there are no more cravings, anxiety or depression caused by the drug abuse side effects. The chemical balances also will come back much faster with the exercise and vitamins. This enables the person to have a fighting chance. This type of drug rehabilitation center will use social educational classes to restore or build skills to make the individual a drug free and productive member of society. Drug Rehab Programs with this method are having a success rate of over 76%. This is why Bio-Physical drug treatment centers are usually recommended for the drug addiction’s of our society today.
Psychiatrist - or as I'd like to call them, "legal drug dealers" - are busy handing out prescriptions for antidepressants when in fact that is what makes the depression worse. According to this FDA warning:
Antidepressants Cause Suicide:
On Sept 14, 2004, an FDA panel voted 18 to 5 to require manufacturers of all antidepressants to add black box warnings to their product labeling. A month later, the FDA adopted the panel's recommendations. The warning reads in part:
Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior.
A "black box" warning is the most serious warning placed on the labeling of a prescription medication.
