Michael Vick’s drug treatment scam?
Question by Kirk: Michael Vick’s drug treatment scam?
Am I the only one that noticed he suddenly developed a drug problem that needs treatment? I thought the NFL regularly tested for dope. Did his advisers tell him to smoke a joint to get out lightly?
Best answer:
Answer by JV23
He only tested positive after the charges were brought to him I think. But since he applied for the rehab he can be out in 12 months and be on time for the 2009 season.

Answer by Mike
Unfortunately, too many doctors over rate drug therapy. The drugs they give people for manic depression, as bipolar was once known, effect all the neurons in the brain and many of those that control muscle reaction. Insurance companies prefer drug treatment because it is cheaper than long term psychological therapy, so the insurance companies offer doctors incentives (kickbacks) to prescribe their brand of drug for so called disorders.
Psychiatrist use a simple term to tell patients they need drugs. They claim the patient has a chemical imbalance in there brain and the drugs will correct it. This is a lie, they do not even take samples of the brain fluids before making these diagnoses but the licensed pushers do not want the public to know this. Artificial chemicals are not the same as any the brain makes.
The drugs they push do cause chemical disorder in the brain where the block neuron transmitters and receptors from communicating. It takes a long time to get off prescription drugs although the doctors usually claim they are not habit forming. Habit forming and addictive to them must be two different concepts.
Your friend has been labeled by the mental help community as having severe mental issues and only a miracle can get him off the drugs and away from the pushers. Good Luck

Amphetamine Abuse (strange symptom)?
Question by lancee813: Amphetamine Abuse (strange symptom)?
I know someone (60 yrs. old) who was abusing dexadrine and then adderall for over a year, during this time I noticed that they were constantly humming this short tune, over and over and over again, all the time. This humming began around the time the abuse began. He was combining the amphetamines with Vicodin , Effexor, and Seroquel. He has supposedly been clean of the amphetamines for the last month yet the humming continues. Could this possibly be a sign of brain damage from the drug abuse? Also, why did the drug induce this constant humming in the first place? Thanks for any help..

amphetamine
Powerful synthetic stimulant. Benzedrine was the earliest amphetamine marketed, used as a ‘pep pill’ in World War II to help soldiers to overcome fatigue, and until the 1970s amphetamines were prescribed by doctors as an appetite suppressant for weight loss; as an antidepressant, to induce euphoria; and as a stimulant, to increase alertness.
Indications for its use today are very restricted because of severe side effects, including addiction. It is a sulphate or phosphate form of C9H13N.
