The nonmedical use or abuse of prescription drugs is a serious and growing public health problem in this country. In fact, an estimated 48 million people (12 and older) have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons in their lifetimes. This is representative of approximately 20% of the entire U.S. population. When a disaster strikes, counties can receive disaster relief from the USDA OES, but when addiction strikes 20% of the U.S population, what remedies do we have to help people overcome harmful addictions that lead to death, poverty and sickness?
Elderly people are the most vulnerable because they are prescribed more medications than those much younger. This is not to say that most people do not take prescriptions responsibly. Most do. The concern is the amount of people who aren’t.
Another startlin piece of information is the fact that the 2004 National Institute on Drug Abuse’s (NIDA’s) Monitoring the Future survey of 8th, 10th, and 12th-graders found that 9.3 percent of 12th-graders reported using Vicodin without a prescription in the past year, and 5.0 percent reported using OxyContin, which makes these 2 medications the most commonly abused prescription drugs by adolescents.

It makes you wonder why people turn to these drugs for support. These are people like you and I who are trying to find help any way they can and when they are bombarded with prescription drug advertisements and then they go to the doctor and all he recommends is drugs, drugs and more drugs, it seems reasonable to assume that people are going to get brainwashed thinking that there are only 2 options out there. But let’s look at the side effects of drugs. Lets evaluate the people who are getting hooked on these and lets evaluate who benefits from all of this. If a simple herb or food could solve the problem (with no side effects and no addictions), then wouldn’t that alternative be more helpful.

It reminds me of the time I got ringworm on my foot. It was so painful and itched so bad, that I finally went to ER room of the hospital. The doctor came in and looked at. In fact, they took pictures of it because of how interesting it looked. I’m sure a picture of my foot must be in some medical journal somewhere. Then, I sat there for a while and finally a nurse walked in and asked what I was waiting for. I said I was waiting for the doctor to come back… She said, oh well, you’re done. That little piece of paper is your prescription, which included some foot cream stuff and something to take orally. So, because of my lack of knowledge (and the severe itching), I decided to take it. It did absolutely nothing!!!! Fortunately, I was visiting someone, who happened to be a nurse. She gave me some advice. “You need to put your foot in really hot water until you can barely stand it”. What?!! That’s it. As soon as I returned home, I did exactly what she said. And guess what? The itching went away immediately. It scabbed up and was gone. FOLKS, Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best ones out there!
